We will continually update this notice with any additional issues and bugs that are found, as well as any impactful issues identified before January. Please keep track of the updates during your gameplay.

[January 29th]

■ (#5) An Issue Where Reaching Level 400 Is Not Possible When Purchasing the Premium Battle Pass

- An issue has been identified where Descendants are unable to reach Level 400 even after earning all available EXPs after purchasing the Premium Battle Pass.

- This issue was caused by an unintended design oversight that was not identified during operations. To prevent this from occurring again, we have thoroughly reviewed and adjusted the overall experience and level structure for Season 3 Episode 3.

- We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. As compensation, 300 Bonus Coins will be granted to all Descendants who purchased the Season 3 Episode 2: Assemble Premium Battle Pass.

- The compensation will be distributed on February 9 (Mon) and can be used in the newly launched Battle Pass.

[January 22nd]

■ (#4) An issue where the maximum stack count is displayed incorrectly in the ‘Kill Chain’ trigger module tooltip

- The incorrect maximum stack display will be corrected with the 1.3.18 update.

■ (#4) An issue where the fire rate of ‘Greg’s Reversed Fate’ was applied abnormally fast

- We have identified an issue where the fire rate of ‘Greg’s Reversed Fate’ was applied abnormally fast, causing damage to intermittently not register.

- To resolve this issue, we plan to refine the fire rate mechanics of Tactical Rifles in a future update, and ‘Greg’s Reversed Fate’ will undergo additional balance adjustments accordingly.

[January 15th]

■ (#3) (Resolved) An issue where the buff effect of Enzo’s “Bullet Supplying Device” skill is not applied to Descendants with full ammunition

- This issue is scheduled to be fixed with 1.3.17 patch.

[Previous Known Issues]

■ (#1) (Resolved) An issue where the Returning Growth Support Weapon Box reward from the [Returning] Back to Albion event is granted as a Level 1 weapon under certain conditions
