A post recently appeared on The First Descendant subreddit, boasting about getting max weapons, max mastery, and farming all the descendants in the game, in a very quick timeframe given the game’s relatively recent release.
This post was later deleted by the moderators, possibly due to suspicions that the original poster used bot-farming or other methods to achieve these feats. The post sparked a lot of reactions, with many users expressing skepticism and disdain for their “achievements”.
Community Reaction to The First Descendant Post
In response to the now deleted post, several users joked about the OP’s commitment to the game, suggesting they hadn’t seen daylight since the launch of The First Descendant. Comments included remarks about needing to go outside, seeing the sun, and touching grass, indicating that they believed the poster spent way too much time playing a game, likely close to 18 hours a day.

Some even advised them to get a social life, or even a job, as that would be far more productive and beneficial to them.

A notable comment suggested that the game, which should be a fun loot chase, turns dull when one uses bot farming, or gets everything way too quickly, leaving them exhausted and waiting for the next content drop.

The comment explained that farming could lead to completing new content quickly, making the wait for future updates unbearable. This approach essentially kills the excitement of The First Descendant, which is a live service after all.
The overwhelming consensus in the comments was that the OP’s achievement was likely not genuine. Most users were critical, if not outright mocking, of their claims. This also showed a broader frustration about players who use shortcuts to progress rapidly in games, and then brag about it online.
This practice, as pointed out by several comments, undermines the effort and time other players invest and can diminish the overall enjoyment of the game.
Some Users Tried Verifying the Claims
One user took it upon themselves to fact-check the claims. They provided a detailed breakdown of the time required to build all the guns in The First Descendant. According to their calculations, the process is quite lengthy and definitely not achievable in a month, not naturally at least.
With only five building slots and around twenty guns, the user estimated it would take approximately 28.4 days in real-time to build all the guns. This calculation assumed maximum efficiency, with the player building new guns immediately after a slot became available, even factoring in sleep time. All of this is definitely not possible for a normal human being.
The user also highlighted that this estimate didn’t include the time required for building titular descendants and ultimate descendants, which would occupy the building slots as well.
From this analysis, it was clear that they either purchased all the descendants or rushed their construction. The conclusion drawn was that achieving max weapons, max mastery, and all descendants farmed in such a short time was nearly impossible without spending real-life money or using some form of bot farming.
What do you think of this recent The First Descendant claim, could it be genuine? Let us know in the comments.
