※ Some content revealed during the broadcast may be subject to change upon actual release.

■ Conquest Event Ends

- Karel's Mothership Conquest event Phase 2 will conclude alongside the October 15th update.

- After the event ends, rewards will be distributed and a space celebrating our honorable Descendants will be set up on the official website.

■ Descendant Improvement - Freyna

- Skill 2 changes: Grants Concealment immediately on use and creates a Catalyst Zone centered on the player. The Catalyst Zone deals additional damage to enemies afflicted with Room 0 Trauma.

- Skill 4 duration removed: Can be used flexibly until the magazine hits zero.

- MP-proportional damage added to all skills. Maximum damage is applied upon reaching 645 MP.

- Synchronization Value: Adjusted slightly down to 1.602. This accounts for increased skill power coefficients and the higher base power overall.

■ New Trigger Module - Prepping in the Dark

- Triggered by Ground DoT and Concealment type skills.

- Effects: Skill 4 cooldown reduction, increased Toxic skill power.

- Well suited to pair with the Neurotoxin Synthesis module.

■ Descendant Improvement - Gley & Enzo

■ Trials Update

- A second map is being added to Trials.

- Map selection follows a daily rotation similar to 400% Infiltration; rewards and completion time remain the same.

- A Variable Code exclusive to firearm DPS and a third map are also planned for future addition.

■ Onslaught Stage 5 Added

- Added as new top-difficulty content following the end of the Conquest event.

- Field: Axion Plains. The combat zone is in a different location from Stage 4.

- Entry requirement: Arche Activity 93,300 or above (Transcendent Weapon Tier 4).

- Features a higher proportion of special monsters with well-defined spawn directions, making firearm DPS highly effective.

- Weekly reward: One guaranteed Transcendent option. Players can choose between Stage 4 (two guaranteed Ultimate options) and Stage 5 based on their build.

■ New Transcendent Weapon - Monster Hunter

- Weapon type: Assault rifle. Well-suited for critical hit setups; visual effects change based on how Transcendent ability points are distributed.

- The Colossus Hunter skin is being updated alongside it.

■ Transcendent Weapon Rotation Boost

- Players can check which content which has the Transcendent Weapon boost applied via the 'Content with Ongoing Events' menu on the map.

- The boosted content changes daily and is applied simultaneously to higher-tier and lower-tier content.

- Boost effect: +15% increase over existing drop rates (applied as a separate multiplier, not additive). Applies to Battle Pass effects, boost items, and External Component options.

- The Transcendent Weapon drop rate for Karel's Mothership is being increased.

- Starting October 15th, a challenge event for participating in rotation boost content will run alongside the boost.

■ Transcendent Weapon Retirement & Rerun System

- Application date: Scheduled to take effect starting with the November update.

- The drop pool is fixed at 12. One new Transcendent Weapon will be added each month. When a 13th weapon is added, one existing weapon will retire.

- Retired weapons: Weapons already obtained can still be used and traded. Only new drops are stopped.

- A replacement weapon serving the same role as the retired weapon is planned for addition.

- Re-runs planned on an irregular schedule. Re-runs will use a separate new system; additional details will be provided at the time of launch.

- Weapons scheduled for retirement will be announced 1 month in advance.

- November schedule: New Transcendent version of EXCAVA added; Malicious Dominator retires.

■ Melee Weapon Attack Speed Compression

- This update narrows the gap between minimum and maximum attack speed values.

- Base melee attack speed before builds is increased, and the value gained from modules is reduced. Final speed after builds remains the same.

- Normal attack motions for existing weapons are also being improved.

■ QoL Improvements

- Save Control Options to a Loadout: Keyboard, mouse, and controller settings can now be saved as loadouts per Descendant and recalled at any time.

- Including loadouts in presets will be added in a future update after additional improvements.

- Hammer & Anvil - Default Improved: Descendant Enzo's Hammer and Anvil default mode is changed to Anvil Mode.

- Improved Item Acquisition Effect: High-value items such as Transcendent Weapons are now shown separately in a fixed position on screen when obtained.

- Changed Mission Difficulty Display: Monster levels in Field Missions are replaced with Arche Activity values.

- Search Feature Added to Select Box: A search function has been added to Ancestors Module and Trigger Module Selection Boxes.

- Transcendent Weapon Indicator in Library: Transcendent Weapons are now included in the Library.

- Monster Invincibility State Indicator: Improved to make invulnerable states more clearly identifiable.
