The First Descendant update nerfs its Destiny-style loot cave but keeps its reward efficiency "significantly higher than originally intended" thanks to its popularity

The First Descendant character Valby, a young woman with dark hair wearing what looks like a futuristic space suit, looks into the camera with one hand on her hip.

Days after accidentally suggesting all of The First Descendant's farming spots were about to get buffed thanks to a "misinterpretation" during translation, Nexon's looter shooter has had its fan-favorite loot cave nerfed, reducing the amount of rewards you can get from it.

Until now, one of the best ways to earn gold, EXP, and resources in The First Descendant was to try your hand at the 'Valby run' – a strategy that uses the character Valby's 'Clean Up' skill to destroy hordes of constantly respawning enemies at the Vulgus Strategic Outpost in the Fortress. Originally, a statement unintentionally suggested that Nexon was planning to make all other farming spots in the game just as effective as this, but an amended one soon clarified that it was actually the other way around, with the plan to "adjust the rewards efficiency at the Fortress Outpost to balance it with other regions," instead. That's what we're seeing in hotfix 1.0.4, which was rolled out today.
