Descendant Year-End Celebration Event
Celebrate the season with special gameplay missions. Complete these challenges to collect unique customization items, including a Fellow’s festive holiday skin and back attachment.
New Descendant: Keelan - Belonging to H.O.U.N.D, a specialized reconnaissance unit for Void Vessel operations, Keelan is joining the fight for Albion. He possesses toxic abilities and a consecutive dash skill that pierces through enemies.
New Dungeon: Void Vessel - An unidentified abandoned ship has been discovered deep within the Void. In this new dungeon, a formidable boss named Dread Armor Commando awaits. Not only is it massive in size, but its weapons evolve with each phase—from a handgun and shield to dual melee weapons, and finally to dual handguns. The Void Vessel is available in both Normal and Hard difficulties, and defeating Dread Armor will reward players with research materials of Keelan and a new companion, Fellow.
New Arche Fellow - Restored from the Void Vessel’s genetic material comes a familiar lifeform from the ancient Ancestors. Offering various battle support, this season’s Shepherd Fellow is also customizable and always ready for some pets.
New Sharen Story Quest - After failing to assassinate the cyborg Vulgus and becoming an Arche driven body, players can begin to unlock the secrets behind Sharen and her archenemy through various new story quests.
New Ultimate Sharen – Unleash Ultimate Sharen’s skills: Area Suppression hurls daggers in a 360-degree radius for devastating impact, while Caught in an Ambush boosts movement speed, reduces skill cooldowns, and reactivates stealth upon enemy kills. When using her skill Active Camouflage, Ultimate Sharen can avoid traps, making her the perfect infiltrator for evading enemy detection in the Void Vessel.
New “Hammer and Anvil” Ultimate Weapon Instead of an aiming function, the Hammer and Anvil supports a firing mode switch to Anvil Mode. Pressing the aim button switches the weapon into Anvil Mode, firing a single explosive projectile that detonates after a set duration, releasing pellets in all directions.
New “Voltia” Ultimate Weapon – The Voltia Beam Rifle, available for free through the Season 2 battle pass, harnesses the electrical current discharge technology used in Bunny’s suit, emitting energy that chains damage to enemies surrounding the initial target. Unique among firearms, Voltia can break Anti-Void shields, which are typically only destructible by skills, making it incredibly valuable in Void Vessel missions.
Further details on how TFD is celebrating the holidays can be found on its website here.
Players can also look forward to additional updates as part of Season 2: Void Chaser on January 16, such as:
