Basic (Standard) Chartered (Featured) New Horizons (Beginner)

Basic Headhunting (Standard)

Basic Headhunting
Basic Headhunting serves as the Standard or Regular banner of the game, featuring all the Standard characters in the game's gacha pool.

The following ruleset for Basic Headhunting, as revealed in the Special Beta Test II Program are the following:

  • Basic Headhunting guarantees ANY 6★ Standard Character after 80 pulls.
  • This banner uses Headhunting Permits in order to roll for characters. These can be obtained from events, mission rewards, or direct purchases/exchanges.
  • All Standard 6★ characters that the game will feature will be in this banner. Limited 6★ characters will not be added in this banner unless stated otherwise.

Chartered Headhunting (Featured)

Chartered System
Chartered Headhunting serves as the Featured banner of the game, where you can roll the sought-after Limited characters. Similar to the Basic headhunting, you can get any 6★ after 80 rolls, but the limited featured character has a rate-up, increasing your chances.

Unique to Arknights' system for this focus banner is the Chartering aspect, with the limited featured 6★ still being available as part of the Chartered Banner's 6★ roster after two banners once their debut banner is over.

The following ruleset for Chartered Headhunting, as revealed in the Special Beta Test II Program are the following:

  • Chartered Headhunting guarantees ANY 6★ Standard Character and chartered 6★ limited-time characters after 80 pulls.
  • Not getting the limited featured rate-up 6★ on the first 80 rolls will allow you to guarantee that character on your next 120 rolls. This basically means that your first 80 rolls act as the 50/50, while the 120 is the guarantee roll.
  • This banner uses Headhunting Permits in order to roll characters. These can be obtained from events, mission rewards, or direct purchases/exchanges.
  • All Standard 6★ characters and Limited 6★ characters that had their debut banner finished will be in this system's rotation after 2 limited debut characters are featured (Chartering).
  • Limited 6★ characters that had been in 2 consecutive limited debut banners will be removed in all banners afterwards, unless reruns are stated.

New Horizons Headhunting (Beginner)

New Horizons
The New Horizons Headhunting is basically the beginner banner of the game, and it allows you to roll up to a certain limit by getting the necessary Headhunting Permits by progressing the game's Mission Stories.

This is a one-time banner that allows you to ultimately get any Standard 6★ for free as long as you get the permits, allowing you to get a special character right from the bat!

What is Arsenal Exchange?

Gacha System for Weapon Banners

Arsenal Exchange
Arsenal Exchange is the Weapons Banner system of the game, which uses different Arsenal Tickets as its main currency. These tickets can be exchanged for Arsenal Issues for rolls or used to purchase weapons outright.

Gain Arsenal Tickets From Headhunting

You will gain a set amount of Arsenal Tickets from your Headhunting rolls, which will vary depending on the ★ quality of the characters you pulled, or if you get a duplicate roll.

Arsenal Tickets Can Also be Acquired by Battle Pass and Purchases

Aside from Headhunting, you can gain Arsenal Tickets from the game's battle pass, called the Protocol Pass, or through in-game transactions via limited packs.

Arsenal Issues Explained

Uses Arsenal Tickets Equivalent to 10 Weapon Rolls

Arsenal Issuing

1 Arsenal Issue is equivalent to 10 rolls when exchanged from Arsenal Tickets. Rolling in banners where 6★ weapons are will allow you to get them in 4 Arsenal Issues (40 rolls), but for featured weapons that you can't get in 4 attempts, you will get them on your next 8 attempts (80 rolls).

There are additional systems and rulesets set up should you continue rolling weapons as revealed in the Special Beta Test II Program:

  • Doing 10 attempts (100 rolls/10 Arsenal Issues) will provide you with an Arsenal Offering Crate, allowing you to choose a non-feature 6★ weapon.
  • Doing 18 attempts (180 rolls/18 Arsenal Issues) will give you an extra featured 6★ weapon.
  • Further attempts repeat this process the more you roll on the specific weapon banner.
  • Weapon Banner Pool will expand with future patches.

Which Gacha Banners Should I Pull?

Prioritize Rolling on Chartered Headhunting for Characters

You should prioritize rolling on the Chartered banner for your Limited Feature characters. This allows you to gain 6★ characters that you will certainly need in gameplay and for endgame content.

It also features the most characters in all banner rosters thanks to its Chartering system, allowing you to still get any limited character for two banners should you fail to get them on debut.
