With Arknights Endfield officially launching on January 22, Hypergryph is going all-in on launch rewards. Between sign-in events, beginner missions, and release campaigns, you can earn up to 135 free Headhunting attempts, a 6★ Operator, multiple 6★ weapons, and a long list of extra bonuses.
Not everything is automatic, and some rewards are time-limited or progression-gated. If you do not know where to look, it is easy to miss a lot of important items and operators.
Here is a clear breakdown of what you can get, how it works, and what to prioritize after launch.
A Quick Overview of Launch Rewards
After the official release goes live, you can earn:
- Up to 135 headhunting attempts
- 6★ Operator Ardelia
- 6★ Weapon: Dreams of the Starry Beach
- 6★ Weapon Selection Boxes ×2
- Multiple banner-specific permits, currencies, and materials
Some rewards are linked to login streaks, others to story progress, and a few are only available for a limited time.
You also have a set of free redemption codes that will be available after launch.
Once the game is live, the Zeroth Directive event becomes available. This acts as the main launch event hub, bringing together several activities that reward players with resources and headhunting attempts.
A large portion of the 135 total pulls comes from events tied to Zeroth Directive, so this is not something you want to ignore or delay.
Pre-Registration Rewards
If you pre-registered, these rewards will be delivered directly to your in-game mailbox after launch.
You will receive the following rewards after the release of the game:
- Basic Headhunting Permit x20
- 5★ Operator Snowshine
- 5★ Weapon: Finishing Call
- T-Creds x30,000
- Advanced Record x20
These are easy to overlook. If you have not pre-registered yet, you still have two days to do so. Simply head to the official website right now and register!
Awakening Sign-In Event
This is one of the most important beginner events in the game. By logging in for a total of 14 days, you can earn:
- 6★ Operator Ardelia. Currently considered the strongest healer available at launch, so you do not want to miss out on her
- 6★ Weapon: Dreams of the Starry Beach
- Chartered Headhunting Permit x12
- Additional upgrade materials and resources
Missing days here directly means missing top-tier launch gear. However, you do not have to log in for 14 days in a row. The event does not seem to have an end date, which means it should stay up until you complete it. You can miss a few days in between and catch up on it after. All you need is to log in for a total of 14 days.
New Horizons Beginner Event
This event is linked to the main story progression, not daily logins. It is basically your beginner Operator Banner. As you complete the main missions, you will earn 40 New Horizons Headhunting Permits.
These can only be used on the Beginner Banner, where you are guaranteed a 6★ Operator within 40 pulls. The Operator will be one of the permanent ones, so either Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite, or Pogranichnik.
There is also an important bonus. After using all 40 pulls, you receive one New Horizons Weapon Supply, and this lets you freely choose a 6★ weapon from a specific selection pool. This is essentially a safety net for new players, and one of the most generous beginner systems Endfield offers.
Authority Level Beginner Rewards
As your Authority Level increases, you will unlock additional rewards at important milestones. These rewards are granted at Authority Levels 8 / 15 / 20 / 30 / 45. Across all milestones, you will earn:
- Basic Headhunting Permit x40
- Orobery x4,000
- Cosmic Voice Issue Certificate x1
- Curated Weapon Supply x1
These rewards are easy to get as you play. Your Authority Level will increase automatically as you play through the story or explore the world.
Time-Limited Sign-In Events (Easy to Miss)
Several sign-in events will also rotate during the launch period. Each one lasts only a short time and rewards different banner-specific permits.
- Firewalker’s Trail Sign-In
- Available at launch
- Ends on February 7
- Complete a 7-day sign-in to earn:
- Firewalker’s Trail Headhunting Permit x5. These permits can be used on the current limited Operator banner
- Messenger Express Sign-In
- Runs from February 7 to February 24
- Complete 7 sign-ins to earn:
- Messenger Express Headhunting Permit x5
- Spectral Splendor Sign-In
- Runs from February 24 until the next version update
- Complete 7 sign-ins to earn:
- Spectral Splendor Headhunting Permit x5
Each of these events replaces the previous one, so skipping days can permanently cost you pulls.
Keep in mind that events only become available after unlocking the Event Center. This will unlock when you progress through the main story. We recommend you focus on the story until you have access to all the main features of the game, including the events.
On top of that, more free resources are earned naturally through:
- Main story progression
- Side quests
- Exploration
- Various other smaller or bigger events
Arknights: Endfield‘s launch rewards are generous, but they are spread across multiple systems, and nothing is fully automatic.
Some of the best rewards are time-limited, tied to daily logins, or gated behind story progression, so missing a day or waiting too long to unlock the Event Center can mean losing free pulls and top-tier gear.
To make the most out of it, log in often, progress the story early, check your in-game mail, and keep an eye on each sign-in and beginner event!
