The First Descendant beta continues to prove very popular on Steam, with the crossplay beta test for the co-op third-person looter shooter managing to pull in a pretty consistent player base that’s hovered around 40,000 concurrent users on the Valve platform throughout the weekend. If you’re playing, you’ll be pleased to know that developer Nexon Games has just introduced a surprise login rewards event, giving you a healthy heaping of currencies just for hopping on in the final days of the test period.
It’s been a busy time lately, so I wasn’t planning to spend too much time with The First Descendant’s crossplay beta, despite the fact that its world is undeniably gorgeous and, even in this early state, it’s held a solid frame rate and by all accounts is a rather fun co-op game. Then I saw The First Descendant beta rewards… and I needed to have that little bear on my back, holding a can of coke in his paws. I’m a man of simple pleasures, okay?
Good news, then, that anyone playing can now grab a rather nice chunk of free rewards. Nexon Games says, “Greetings, Descendants! Thank you for actively participating in The First Descendant Crossplay Open Beta. As a token of gratitude, we have prepared a surprise event so you can enjoy various contents for the lasting test period.” It’s a nice way to quickly get The First Descendant credits and more if you’re running short.

You’ll have to put in a fair amount of time to unlock The First Descendant characters, so these bonus rewards should come in rather handy. Just be sure to keep an eye on The First Descendant maintenance schedule to know when the game is available to play.
