The First Descendant Twitch drops: how to redeem and all rewards

Publishers want to get as many eyes on its games as possible for launch, which is where the power of Twitch drops comes into play. The First Descendant is releasing on July 2, and by watching specific streamers playing the game, you can unlock some exclusive rewards. To our knowledge, these will only be available through these Twitch drops, so you only have a limited time to collect them all. You are probably eager to get into the game and start playing it yourself, but let’s quickly go over how to redeem these rewards and what they are. Starting at midnight PT on July 2 and running through midnight on July 29, watching any Twitch stream under the category of The First Descendant will start counting toward your watch time for the rewards. Before you start watching any streams, though, make sure you link your Twitch account to your The First Descendant account on this page. Once you have watched for long enough to earn a reward, it will appear in your Twitch inventory. Simply open it up, claim it, and it will be sent to your The First Descendant account to use. Note that you do not need to watch a Twitch stream in one sitting to earn any or all of the rewards. Each minute counts and adds up, so feel free to space it out between July 2 and July 29. There are five The First Descendant prizes up for grabs via Twitch drops. Each one requires you to watch for a set amount of time, but all can be done in a single day if you choose. Live-service games are all about the grind. In The First Descendant, you will be grinding for weapons, armor, materials, and XP to level up either solo or with a squad. Once you start taking on missions, you will quickly realize that there isn’t just one, but two different things you will be leveling up. The first is your Descendant level, and the second is your Mastery Rank, and each one gives different rewards. If you’re gunning to be the most powerful Descendant in Albion, you have plenty of grinding to do if you want to hit the level cap in both categories.
What are the max levels in The First Descendant?
As mentioned, there are two different ways to level up in The First Descendant, but both are done through the same method of beating missions. The max Descendant level is 40, but this is a little misleading since each individual Descendant has its own Descendant level that is not shared between the others. That means you could grind all 14 currently available Descendants to 40, which could take you quite a long time to do. It appears that The First Descendant is experiencing some sort of server outage this morning, as players are flocking to social media to post about disconnects and the inability to log in. This is reportedly happening across all platforms. Here’s what we know right now:

While Destiny and Warframe are the two big names in the free-to-play looter-shooter space, The First Descendant looks like it might be able to carve out an audience for itself when it hits. Coming to most platforms on July 2, this third-person shooter using Unreal Engine 5 certainly has the looks to draw people in, but only time will tell if it has the addictive gameplay and enough content to satisfy gamers. It’s not often you get to be there on day one for a live-service game like this, so plenty of people are hoping to get in as early as possible to be the first to hopefully get some overpowered gear and guns. Here are all the preload details you need if you want to be ready to roll the second the game drops.
