Rates by banner
Every figure below is Hypergryph's own, from the in-game Rules panel. Endfield publishes its whole curve, so there is no sampled number on this page to mark as unofficial.
| Banner | 6★ base | 5★ base | Guaranteed 6★ | Rate climbs from | Rate-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chartered Headhunting | 0.8% | 8% | 80 | 66 · +5%/pull | 50% |
| Basic Headhunting | 0.8% | 8% | 80 | 66 · +5%/pull | N/A |
| Arsenal Exchange | 4.0% | 15% | 40 | N/A | 25% |
- Chartered HeadhuntingThe limited banner. A 6-star is the featured operator half the time; the other half comes from the standard roster, or from one of the two previous Chartered banners, whose featured operators stay in the pool. The 120-pull guarantee is once per banner and resets when the banner closes. Every 240th pull on the same banner also awards a Potential token for the featured operator.
- Basic HeadhuntingThe standard banner, open indefinitely. No featured operator, so no 50/50 and no 120-pull guarantee. The 6-star counter carries across banners of the same type until a 6-star lands.
- Arsenal ExchangeThe weapon banner, and the one that does not work like the others: it is bought in ten-weapon Issues at 1,980 Arsenal Tickets each, not one pull at a time, and there is no climbing rate. One 5-star or better per Issue is guaranteed. Three Issues with no 6-star and the fourth guarantees one (the 40th weapon at the latest), but not the featured one, which a 6-star is only a quarter of the time. Seven Issues without the featured 6-star and the eighth gives it, once per banner. A weapon selection box lands on the 10th Issue and the featured 6-star on the 18th, then every 8 Issues after.
3 headhunting pools run as of version 1.6. Work the guarantees through and the ceiling is fixed: 40,000 Oroberyl buys the 80 pulls that guarantee a 6-star on either operator banner, and 60,000 buys the 120 that guarantee the rate-up one on a Chartered banner even after losing the 50/50. The Arsenal Exchange runs on Arsenal Tickets rather than Oroberyl, in Issues of ten weapons, so it has no Oroberyl ceiling to state.
Banner FAQ
- What is the next banner in Arknights: Endfield?
- No upcoming Arknights: Endfield banner has been announced with a date yet. Tangtang’s Ancestral Spring Flows Anew runs until November 19.
- What weapons come in Arknights: Endfield 1.6?
- Two new 6-star weapons: Jade Vessel, a Great Sword with Intellect, Cryo DMG and Efficacy, on the Seal of Jade Issue from the version launch; and Lunar Calling, a Sword with Will, Attack and Infliction, on the Moongleam Issue from November 5, 2026. Brigand's Calling reruns on the Tender Sprig Issue. The Protocol Pass adds two more 6-stars, Long Heritage (Great Sword) and Complexed Industry (Sword).
- What is the actual 6-star rate on a Chartered Headhunting banner?
- Hypergryph publishes 0.8% as the base rate, and it holds for the first 65 pulls. From the 66th the rate gains 5 percentage points per pull (5.8%, then 10.8%, and so on) until the 80th pull, which is a guaranteed 6-star. There is no unpublished curve behind those figures; the game states them in its own Rules panel.
- How does the 50/50 work?
- On a Chartered Headhunting banner a 6-star is the featured operator half the time; the other half comes from the standard pool or from the two previous Chartered banners, whose featured operators stay in it. The 120th pull on the banner guarantees the featured operator, once per banner, and the counter resets when the banner closes. The Arsenal Exchange runs the same idea at 25%, with the featured 6-star guaranteed by the 80th weapon.
- How much Oroberyl is a guaranteed 6-star?
- One pull costs 500 Oroberyl, and the 80th pull guarantees a 6-star, so the worst case for any 6-star is 40,000 Oroberyl. The featured one is guaranteed at 120 pulls, or 60,000. The Arsenal Exchange is not bought in Oroberyl at all: it takes Arsenal Tickets, 1,980 per ten-weapon Issue.
How we know. Banners up to version 1.5 are transcribed from endfield.wiki.gg’s Banners table (Americas/Europe dates). The 1.6 windows were first read off Gryphline’s 1.6 Special Program slides and are now checked against its 1.6 update notes, which print each one in server time; the version launch date is the one Gryphline, [Sanctuary of Ink] Version DEV Comm, Oct. 7, 2026 states. Operator and weapon art for 1.6 is from Gryphline’s official New Version Guide page. Countdowns run to the Americas/Europe server’s clock (UTC-5).
