Nexon is jumpstarting the economy in The First Descendant by giving every player a significant material drop. As part of the latest Dev Note, a gift of 140 Superconductive Cooling Units is being distributed to all Descendants. This isn't just a random login bonus; it's a calculated move to prepare everyone for a major feature coming in December: Ancestor Module trading.
Following the 'Assemble' update on November 5, the developers are rolling out Patch 1.3.11 on November 19, 2025. While the patch itself brings its own set of adjustments, the real story is the setup for a player-driven economy. The free Cooling Units are intended to give players a head start on gathering and crafting before the trading floodgates open next month.
Gearing Up for a Player-Driven Economy
The introduction of Ancestor Module trading is a massive deal for any looter shooter. For weeks, you might have been grinding for a specific module for your build, only to get a perfect roll for a Descendant you don't play. Soon, that frustration will be replaced by opportunity. This change will allow players to trade those valuable modules, completely reshaping the endgame grind and how we build our characters.
Instead of relying solely on RNG, you'll be able to engage with other players to find the exact piece of gear you need to perfect your build. This adds a whole new layer to the social and economic aspects of defending the Ingris continent, making every high-tier drop potentially valuable, even if it's not for you.
How do I claim the free Superconductive Cooling Units?
It's simple: just log into the game. The 140 Superconductive Cooling Units will be sent to your in-game mail. Be sure to claim them before they expire. You have until December 2, 2025, to claim the gift from your mailbox, and the mail itself will expire on December 9, 2025. Don't let these valuable materials disappear.
With Patch 1.3.11 laying the groundwork this week, the community is now officially on the road to a more dynamic and interactive endgame. Start stockpiling those materials, because the market is about to open for business.
