Season 3 Breakthrough update for The First Descendant is officially live. It brings with it a lot of new content for everyone to enjoy. One of these is the addition of new ultimate weapons.

The first one is a new Scout Rifle called Eraser. This ultimate weapon was designed to counter adaptive defense systems. Each shot analyzes the target's defensive mechanisms and then releases an effect that neutralizes them. In addition, the weapon deals area-of-effect damage and applies a special effect that disables adaptive defenses around the target.

The second one is a new Launcher known as Exterminator. This is a launcher which automatically locks onto enemies within its firing arc when aimed. Once fired, it launches a rapid barrage of missiles at all locked targets. This weapon is tailored for combat in Axion and excels at destroying assault ships as well as tearing through the shells and armor of mutant enemies.

New Vehicle

Players should be happy to know that there's also a new vehicle. The Hover Bike comes in three types which are Standard, Speed, and Balanced. Players can freely ride the Hover Bike across Axion and open fields. While its use is limited in dungeons and Intercept Battles, the development team revealed that future dungeon updates are going to introduce pathways where Hover Bikes can be used. Additional customization options like various attachments are also in the works for future updates.
