Arknights: Endfield is a traditional free-to-play action RPG with gacha mechanics similar to titles like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves. In 2026, while a few games, such as Ananta and Duet Night Abyss, are ditching traditional gacha elements for a less pay-to-win model, Arknights: Endfield chooses to stick to the basics.
That said, its gacha monetization schemes aren’t identical to the ones found in notable titles from the past. There are a few significant changes that make Arknights: Endfield’s gacha relatively more consumer-friendly.
Whether you’re a free-to-play connoisseur, an unhinged whaler, or someone in between, it’s worth taking a gander at Arknights: Endfield‘s gacha system, which we explain in detail below.

Arknights: Endfield limited-time character banner explained
Arknights: Endfield features 6-star operators and weapons, in addition to 5-star and 4-star ones. Limited-time banners will feature 6-star units with the lowest drop rates. Below, you can find the drop rate of operators of different rarity types:
- 6-star operator: 0.8%
- 5-star operator: 8%
- 4-star operator: 91.2%
To pull these characters, you’ll need a currency called Oroberyl. A single pull costs 500 Oroberyl, whereas 10 pulls cost 5,000 Oroberyl. As of this writing, it’s unclear how much real-life money Oroberyl would cost.
Furthermore, limited-time 6-star operators remain in the pool for two subsequent limited-time banners, a feature unique to Arknights: Endfield. This should allow you more time and opportunity to get your desired 6-star unit.
Naturally, the drop rates for these limited-time 6-star operators will vary, depending on the banner. Here’s what you can expect:
- 50% chance to get the featured 6-star operator
- 35.72% chance to get standard pool characters
- 7.14% chance to get one of the two previous limited-time 6-star operators
Arknights Endfield limited-time character banner pity explained
Since Arknights: Endfield is a traditional gacha game, it has a pity system in place so you don’t spend all your savings in a single banner. Like most titles, there is a soft and hard pity in place in addition to other milestones. Surprisingly, this game also offers a sure-shot way to get your desired 6-star operator or weapon, but the journey is long and treacherous.
Below you can find an in-depth explanation of different pity milestones for limited-time characters in Arknights: Endfield:
10 pulls
Every 10 pulls on any character banner guarantees at least one 5-star operator. This 10 pulls pity carries over to the next banner. For instance, if you make five pulls in one banner, you are guaranteed to get a 5-star operator in the fifth pull you make in the subsequent banner. Furthermore, when you do get a 5-star character, there’s a 50% chance it will be a featured one.
60 pulls
After making 60 pulls, you’ll get an item called Headhunting Dossier. This will give you 10 free pulls in the next, limited-time banner.
65 pulls
If you make 65 pulls without getting a 6-star operator, the drop rate of getting a 6-star operator will increase by 5% with every subsequent pull. This will consistently increase until you get a 6-star character, featured or otherwise.
80 pulls
If you make 79 pulls without getting a 6-star operator, you’ll get one on your 80th pull. However, there’s only a 50% chance that it will be a featured, limited-time operator. Fortunately, the 80 pull pity carries over to the subsequent banner, so if you are more interested in getting the featured unit in the next one, keep track of the pulls you make in this one.
120 pulls
If you make 119 pulls without getting a 6-star operator, you are guaranteed to get the featured, limited-time 6-star operator in the 120th one. However, this 120 pull pity won’t carry over to the next banner. Hence, irrespective of how many pulls you make in the current banner, the only sureshot way to get the next banner’s limited-time 6-star operator is by doing an additional 120 pulls.
240 pulls
If you make 239 pulls, you are guaranteed to get a duplicate copy of the limited-time 6-star operator in your next one. This doesn’t carry over to the next banner.

Before we get into the details, take a look at the drop rates of all rarity weapon types:
- 6-star weapon: 4%
- 5-star weapon: 15%
- 4-star weapon: 81%
To pull these weapons, you’ll need Arsenal Tickets, a currency you obtain by pulling characters.
- 6-star operator: 2,000 Arsenal Tickets
- 5-star operator: 200 Arsenal Tickets
- 4-star operator: 20 Arsenal Tickets
To put things into perspective, you’ll need 1,980 Arsenal Tickets to make 10 weapon pulls. Unlike character banners, you can’t make individual pulls in the weapon banner.

Below you can find an in-depth explanation of different pity milestones for weapon gacha in Arknights: Endfield:
10 pulls
You are guaranteed to get at least one 5-star weapon from every 10 pulls.
40 pulls
If you make 39 pulls without getting any 6-star weapon, you are guaranteed to get it on your 40th pull. It’s worth noting that there is only 25% chance of getting the highlighted, limited-time 6-star weapon.
80 pulls
If you make 79 pulls without getting the featured 6-star weapon, you are guaranteed to get it on your 80th try. However, unlike character gacha, weapon gacha pity doesn’t carry over to the next banner.
100 pulls
After you have made 100 pulls, you get Arms Offering, which lets you select a 6-star weapon of your choice except the featured one. From here on, every 80 pulls, you alternatively obtain the featured weapon and the Arms Offering selector.
Like other gacha games, you can also buy standard weapons from the Arknights: Endfields’ item shop. Unfortunately, there’s no way to purchase the 6-star weapons from the limited banner directly.

The standard banner characters have similar drop rates as their limited-time counterparts, up until you make 80 pulls. On your 80th pull, you are guaranteed to get a 6-star character from the standard pool. This continues until your 300th pull, when you can choose any 6-star character from the standard pool.
That pretty much sums up Arknights: Endfield gacha system.
