First Descendant outposts NOT becoming loot caves

The First Descendant, a live-service game by Nexon, has had a rough start with excessive monetization and in-game grind requirements. Despite these issues, players have been optimizing their farming runs to make the grind less tedious. A recent discovery of a farming exploit, known as the Valby Run, allowed players to reap massive rewards in a short time by exploiting a bug in the Vulgus Strategic Outpost. Initially, Nexon did not plan to fix it immediately, creating an impression that such exploits were acceptable. However, they later clarified that in the upcoming patch 1.0.4, the efficiency of the Vulgus Strategic Outpost will be reduced to align with other farming spots. Players have a short window to take advantage of this exploit before the patch is implemented.

The Valby Run is a farming exploit in The First Descendant that involves replaying the Vulgus Strategic Outpost in the Fortress due to a bug causing enemies to infinitely spawn. This allows players to earn massive rewards in a short amount of time, making it a highly efficient farming method until the bug is fixed in the upcoming patch 1.0.4.

The First Descendant, developed by Nexon, is a free-to-play, action RPG shooter. It has drawn comparisons to games like Destiny 2 and Warframe due to its loot system and gameplay mechanics. Nexon has faced criticism over its monetization strategies, but the game has still managed to build a significant player base. The game's developer, Nexon, has committed to addressing various balance issues and improving the overall player experience through regular updates and patches.
