No, The First Descendant is not turning every Outpost into a loot cave farming spot
The First Descendant’s first couple of weeks have been a little tumultuous, mostly because of the game’s excessive monetisation schemes and the in-game grind required to unlock its various characters, craft weapons and get the gear you need for higher-level content.This is a live service game, though, and if there’s one thing those players love, it’s optimising their runs to be as efficient as possible to make farming less annoying.22 Jul 2024The First Descendant players have discovered a Destiny-style loot cave but, rather than 'simply nerfing certain content', the devs are leaning in and making every cave a loot cavePC Gamer ︎19 Jul 20247/19 (Fri) Client Patch NoticeSteam ︎18 Jul 20247/18 (Thu) Client Patch NoticeSteam ︎18 Jul 2024The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.3Steam ︎17 Jul 2024The First Descendant devs really want you to stop AFK farming, and going AFK in co-opVG247 ︎16 Jul 2024Not So Massively: The problem with The First Descendant’s character unlock mechanicsMassivelyOp ︎14 Jul 2024The First Descendant promises to tweak icon visuals to better distinguish them from Destiny 2MassivelyOp ︎14 Jul 2024Nobody is very happy with The First Descendant, but it's still managed to hit 10 million players in a weekVG247 ︎12 Jul 2024The First Descendant will change its in-game icons following accusations that it swiped them from Destiny 2PC Gamer ︎12 Jul 2024The First Descendant devs respond to allegations they copied a bunch of Destiny 2 iconsVG247 ︎12 Jul 2024The First Descendant's first patch is here to end the Immunity Sphere dance - and don't worry about your broken buildsVG247 ︎11 Jul 2024The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.2Steam ︎09 Jul 2024The First Descendant's tutorial robot is talking so fast, players are having to screenshot its dialogue just to learn about the gamePC Gamer ︎05 Jul 2024The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.1Steam ︎03 Jul 2024Is The First Descendant’s monetization actually as bad as everyone is saying?
