Latest Patch Notes

February 11 Patch Notes

Arknights: Endfield underwent a quick update to apply numerous bug fixes to the game. This includes fixes for Android and controller players, Laevatain, the AIC, and the filtering options for both the Control Nexus and Baker. This update will also nerf the Bonekrusher Vanguard, making it easier to take down.

The maintenance was done on February 12, 2026, and ran from 10:30 AM to 10:50 AM UTC+8. Players received 200 Oroberyl and 1 Emergency Sanity Booster after the maintenance period was over.

Updates and Fixes
・Fixed an issue where using specific Android devices to play the game could result in occasional stuttering if pipes were transporting liquids.
・Fixed an issue where performing specific actions to switch the 6★ operator [Laevatain] to a non-controlled state during her ultimate, and then casting her battle skill, could lead to abnormal combat performance.
・Fixed an issue where specific actions could cause the Protocol Automation-Core and Xiranite Relay to abnormally switch to an unpowered state while they were supposed to be powered.
