Player Grinds 200 Hours to Unlock All Ultimate Descendants

The First Descendant, Nexon’s free-to-play looter shooter, has seen significant player engagement since its release in late June. With over 10 million players, the game has garnered attention, both for its popularity and its aggressive monetization strategies. One player, chicha112, managed to unlock all Ultimate Descendants in roughly 200 hours of gameplay without spending any money. This feat underscores the game's intensive grind, which has been a point of contention among its users. Although the player community is impressed, there have been calls for considerations regarding the time investment required. Nexon has addressed some issues like AFK farming and icon plagiarism from Destiny 2, but the core gameplay experience remains a topic of debate.

Unlocking all Ultimate Descendants in The First Descendant can take approximately 200 hours of gameplay, assuming the player is extremely efficient and dedicates significant time daily to the game.

The First Descendant, developed by Nexon, draws inspiration from games like Warframe and is set in a sci-fi universe where players team up to battle various foes and gather powerful loot. Its free-to-play model has elements of monetization, such as buying character slots and Ultimate versions of characters, which have been subjects of both praise and criticism. Despite its recent release, the game has already sparked discussions on its balance between engaging gameplay and the heavy grind required for progression without spending money.
