Nexon will be releasing a hotfix addressing fans' requests for a matchmaking system for Infiltration Operations on Hard mode. The Infiltration Operations allow players to collect valuable loot such as Amorphous Materials, which can be used to unlock certain items inThe First Descendant,like the Bunny Spiral Catalyst.The First Descendant’s Hard mode Infiltration Operations previously had no matchmaking available, forcing players to take on missions solo and stripping the co-op features that had been prominently featured leading up to the game’s release. When it comes to responding to player feedback, Nexon seems to be reacting quickly during the title’s early days.
The First Descendant To Update Infiltration Operations
Being able to tackle more difficult missions in co-op will be a huge boon forThe Last Descendantplayers. Playing in a group can transform sections of the game that feel grindy into more fun experiences shared between friends eager for a challenge. Co-op capabilities in Hard mode could make activities likeunlockingFrenyainThe First Descendantmore engaging, as opposed to becoming something tedious for players.
There is also some merit toplayingThe First Descendantsolo. Although most live service titles incentivize multiplayer, playing this title alone seems just as viable. Players who do choose to playThe First Descendantby themselves may need to optimize their gameplay to make tougher sections more doable, and if things turn out too tough, this new update to the title’s Hard mode will make playing with friends an easy backup plan.
