With Patch 1.1 arriving tomorrow in Arknights: Endfield, the developers have shared the full calendar for the update, revealing when new banners, events, and activities will roll out over the coming weeks. As always, not everything launches at the same time, and Patch 1.1 spreads the content across March and April, introducing the new characters, limited-time events, and login rewards throughout the patch.
Patch 1.1 Begins With Tangtang Content
The first half of the update focuses on Tangtang. Her banner will run from March 12 to March 28. During this period, you will also be able to access Tangtang’s Combat Drills. Those are small challenges that serve as a test linked to the character. If you are unsure if you want to pull for her, completing the combat drills is a good way to know if you like her gameplay or not.
Tangtang’s weapon banner also becomes available on March 12 and will remain accessible for the entire duration of Patch 1.1.
At the same time, you can explore the “Quietly Flows the Spring” event that runs from March 12 to April 2 and introduces the Qingbo Stockade sub-region, offering a ton of exploration rewards.
Two login and progression events also begin during this early phase of the patch:
- Gently Flows Qingbo Sign-In (March 12 – March 29) – log in for seven days to collect rewards
- Supply: Exploration Day (starts March 19) – complete daily tasks and exchange them for rewards
Rossi Takes Over the Second Half of the Patch
Starting March 29, it is Rossi’s turn! Her banner will run until the end of Patch 1.1, around April 14, 2026. Rossi will also receive a Combat Drills event, giving you again the possibility to test her gameplay before you commit your pulls.
Two additional events will also begin around this time:
- Cleanse and Rinse (starts March 29) – complete objectives using jet drones to earn rewards
- Pearl of the Pack Sign-In (March 29 – April 14) – another seven-day login event with additional rewards
Later in the patch, the Survival Training event begins on April 9. This is a sort of tower-defense style mode where you have to use explosives to defeat waves of enemies.
Additional Patch Events and Banners
Patch 1.1 also includes a few ongoing “banners” and bonuses running alongside the main content. Several characters and their weapons remain available during the patch:
- Gilberta and her weapon remain available until March 28
- Yvonne and her weapon stay available until the end of Patch 1.1
This means that you can basically still obtain Gilberta on Tangtang’s banner, and Yvonne on both Tangtang and Rossi’s banners. You will also see two Sanity Discount periods, which temporarily reduce the Sanity cost of activities:
- March 22 – March 29
- April 10 – April 14
Some new stages will be added to the following permanent content as well:
- Delver of the Cryptic – Grotto Survey on March 29
- Etchspace Salvage Zone 4 on March 12
- Umbral Monument Searing Scars series on March 26
- Umbral Monument limited-time event – Scorch Mark on March 26
Overall, the upcoming weeks look pretty full for Arknights: Endfield players. With character banners, exploration events, login rewards, limited-time activities, and even new stages for permanent content being added throughout March and April, Patch 1.1 will definitely keep us all busy for a while.
