Arknights: Endfield Emergency Update: Compensation, Early Game Streamlining, and 6★ Operator Choice

Developers Optimize Early Progression, Lower Enemy Levels, and Distribute Compensation After Maintenance

An emergency server update will occur in Arknights: Endfield. Maintenance will take place on February 5, 2026, from 03:00 to 03:10 (Moscow Time) — during this period, game access will be temporarily unavailable. The update focuses on improving the early game experience, balancing enemies, enhancing base management convenience, and distributing compensation.

Key Update Changes

Story Campaign Progress Reward

To simplify the start and formation of initial teams, all players who have completed Operation I of Chapter I, "Breaking the Siege," will receive:

The opportunity to choose one 6★ operator from the standard banner for free: Ardellia / Border Guard / Dirge / Ember / Liffen

The reward is sent via in-game mail and will be available for 365 days. It can be claimed after unlocking the mail function.

Enemy Balance and Difficulty

To make exploration stages more comfortable to complete, enemy levels have been lowered:

  • Exploration Level 6: enemies reduced from level 60 to 55
  • Exploration Level 7: enemies reduced from level 70 to 60

Rewards and loot remain unchanged from before the adjustments.

Operator Development Support

Rewards for increasing Influence Level have been optimized:

  • At Influence Levels 16, 17, and 18, players will immediately receive Ferrous Components for blue-tier equipment.
  • At Influence Levels 28, 29, and 30, players will immediately receive Crystite Components for purple-tier equipment.

The components are sufficient to craft four items of the corresponding quality. Players who reached these levels before the update will receive compensation via in-game mail.

Management and Map Improvements

A quick toggle function for selected objects has been added to the top-down view mode, simplifying resource reallocation during energy shortages. The placement of enemies near some teleportation points, rare material collection spots, and development zones on the map has also been adjusted — this should simplify APC placement.

Update Compensation

All players registered and who created a character before February 5, 2026, 08:00 (UTC+8), will receive compensation via in-game mail:

  • Orobil ×200
  • Emergency Sanity Protector ×1

The mail will be available for 30 days after unlocking the mail function.
