A special skin will make The First Descendant a fortune

The new loot shooter “The First Descendant” was launched on Steam on July 2nd. The game itself is free2play, but wants to trick players into paying for their money through microtransactions. With the “Ultimate Bunny” skin, the developers seem to have hit the right tastes for at least some users: The “Ultimate Bunny” skin may be expensive, but it’s already causing a stir.

That’s the thing about skins:

  • Usually, the appearance of a character in role-playing games changes with the armor he wears
  • In free2play games, however, it is common that armor plays no role in appearance, but rather you have to buy cosmetic items, so-called skins, to change the appearance of a hero. This is the case in the most profitable free2play games such as Fortnite or League of Legends
  • The individual skins vary widely in rarity, quality and price: A “recolour” only changes the colour of a character and is considered inferior, high-quality and high-priced skins transform a character and often offer new voices or animations
  • The Ultimate Skins in The First Descendant not only change the appearance of a character, but also make them stronger by, for example, increasing their base stats.
  • Looter shooter The First Descendant announces its release date in the trailer

    This is the skin for The First Descendant: BIn The First Descendant, the “Ultimate Bunny” skin is causing a stir.

    In a reddit thread, the heroine’s butt-free skin is shown in 3 different images and commented on extensively:

  • “Ultimate Bunny alone will probably make them millions of dollars”
  • “My 20-year-old son sat next to me yesterday while I played this. He was quiet the whole time. Then he mumbled, ‘Destiny with strippers, I have to reload that,’ and disappeared.
  • “Bro, this is so crazy and sexy – how do I get the skin?”

    Skin can be bought for a lot of money or earned with a lot of time

    How much does the skin cost? If you buy the skin, you have to dig deep into your pockets: The skin costs 3,000 calibers, about €60, or you can buy the bundle for about €100.

    But there is also a way to grind the skin in the game, which requires 2.7 million gold and 14 ingredients.

    The skin triggers this discussion: There is a serious discussion on Reddit about why people buy the skin, whether there are any sexual intentions behind it and whether players then only play with one hand.

    One user explains: That’s not what it’s about. A skin like this is like Onlyfans. It’s about creating a close bond with a beautiful woman. And for the money you can at least spend hundreds of hours looking at something very beautiful while you grind.

    Even though the skin in The First Descendant is expensive and has sparked some debate, it is no comparison to the “Ahri” skin of the iconic player Faker in League of Legends. The skin was so decadently expensive that players wanted to tear down Riot Games’ place. More on the discussion about the skin that caused so much controversy: LoL players are so angry that they want to ban a heroine in every game forever to really show Riot what’s what
