on

You’ve downloaded Arknights: Endfield and stepped into Talos‑II — but the questions start fast:

Is it free to play? Which characters are worth pulling? What’s "pity" and how does it work?
This FAQ addresses the real questions players are searching for right now, with actionable answers backed by community and reliable sources.

๐ŸŽฎ Core Gameplay & F2P Viability

❓ Is Arknights: Endfield free to play?

Yes — Arknights: Endfield is free to download and play on all platforms (PC, mobile, PS5). You can complete the full story and main game systems without spending money. Premium currency (Oroberyl) is optional and used mainly for gacha pulls and cosmetic/quality‑of‑life purchases.

Many players compare the gacha to other games, but Endfield’s additional safety nets and free pull systems make it more F2P‑friendly than some alternatives.

❓ What is the core gameplay loop?

Endfield blends open‑world exploration, team combat, and base management:

  1. Explore Talos‑II: Fight enemies, gather resources, unlock quests.

  2. Gacha (Headhunting): Pull operators and gear with Oroberyl.

  3. Build & Upgrade: Use your base (AIC) to craft better gear and boost your team.

  4. Progress Challenges: Tackle harder combat missions and unlock more content.

❓ Should I play on PC, PS5, or Mobile?

Arknights: Endfield Beginner FAQ (2026)

  • PC: Best for high graphics and customizable performance.

  • PS5: Smooth optimization, 4K graphics, and controller features.

  • Mobile: Great for on‑the‑go play, though high settings may be demanding on older devices.

Cross‑platform account support lets you switch devices easily.

๐ŸŽฐ Gacha & Pull Strategy

❓ How does the pity system work?

Endfield’s gacha has multiple safeguards to protect players from unlucky streaks:

  • 0.8% base rate for 6★ operators.

  • Soft pity starts at 65 pulls: Each pull after adds ~5% more chance of a 6★.

  • Hard pity at 80 pulls: Guaranteed 6★ if none have appeared.

  • 120‑pull guarantee: 100% of the featured limited character at that banner.

Important carryover rules:
✔ 10‑pull 5★ guarantee carries over.
✔ 80‑pull hard pity carries over between banners.
❌ 120‑pull featured guarantee does NOT carry over.

❓ Is there a free pull or bonus system?

Yes. After doing 60 pulls on a limited banner, you get a Headhunting Dossier that gives one free 10‑pull on the next limited banner. Use it promptly — it does not stack or carry indefinitely.

❓ Which characters are worth pulling for beginners?

According to recent tier evaluations:
๐ŸŒŸ S‑Tier: Laevatain, Yvonne, Gilberta, Last Rite, Ardelia — strong for most teams but often high‑cost characters.
๐Ÿ…ฐ️ A‑Tier: Avywenna, Akekuri — solid support and free‑friendly picks.

Pick operators who:

  • Fit your team composition

  • Fill missing roles (DPS, healer, support)

  • Are meta‑validated by community tier lists

❓ What’s the best first 6★ for F2P players?

  • Laevatain: Excellent Heat DPS, reliable throughout early and mid‑game.

  • Ardelia: Versatile support, excellent even long‑term.

  • Last Rite: Strong single‑target DPS when you need precision damage.

Use the beginner banner’s free 6★ selector wisely, typically on Ardelia if you lack core support early.

If you don’t get a strong DPS, picking a versatile support is often a better long‑term investment.

❓ Should I reroll?

Rerolling means restarting until you get good initial pulls. It can get you a strong start, but:

  • It’s time‑consuming (20–30 min per attempt)

  • The game is designed to be playable even without perfect pull starts

Strategy: Reroll only if you really want an early S‑tier operator; otherwise, play normally and save Oroberyl for banners you want.

๐Ÿ’Ž Early Game Strategy & Resource Tips

❓ What should I spend my Oroberyl on?

Priorities:

  1. Finish the “New Horizons” beginner banner: Great value with a discounted 40‑pull guarantee + weapon selector.

  2. Save toward 120 pulls on banners featuring characters you want.

  3. Skip early weapon banners: Unless you can reach pity guarantees.

❓ What mistakes should I avoid early?

  • Ignoring your AIC base — it’s key for materials and progression.

  • Leveling too many characters instead of a solid core team.

  • Spending Oroberyl on stamina or revives — not cost‑effective early.

๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿค‍๐Ÿง‘ Multiplayer & Endgame

❓ Is there co‑op or multiplayer?

Not at launch. Arknights: Endfield is currently single‑player only, with no real‑time PvP or co‑op exploration modes announced.
