What is Arknights: Endfield? It is a free-to-play 3D RPG from Hypergryph, published by GRYPHLINE, where you lead a squad of Operators across an open world, fight in real time and build automated factories. There is no single win: you clear story missions, raise your Authority Level and beat endgame modes like Umbral Monument and Echoes of War.
What is Arknights: Endfield?
Arknights: Endfield is a spin-off of the Arknights tower defense series. You play as the Endministrator, exploring the planet Talos-II with a squad of four Operators you collect and level. Alongside combat, you build an automated factory network that turns raw materials into the gear and items your team needs. It launched in January 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and mobile.

Gacha RPGs play very differently from competitive shooters, so if you are still choosing what to play, our page with every game explained compares all of them in plain language.
What is the objective in Arknights: Endfield?
Your main goal is to follow the story across Talos-II while making your squad strong enough for harder content. You control one Operator at a time in real-time combat, while the rest of your squad fights alongside you and joins in with their skills. Building good teams, leveling Operators and upgrading weapons all raise your power.
The factory side matters just as much. You place machines and conveyor belts to mine, refine and craft resources automatically, which feeds the upgrades your team needs. Exploration rewards you with chests, collectibles and teleport points in each region.
How do you win in Arknights: Endfield?
Endfield has no matches to win or lose against other players. Success means clearing content. Here is what that looks like in the main modes as of November 2026.
| Mode | Players | What a win looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Main story | Single player | Finish each chapter and its boss fights |
| Exploration | Single player | Find chests, collectibles and teleport points to max a region |
| Umbral Monument | Single player | Beat boss stages on Normal, then the harder Agony tiers |
| Echoes of War | Single player | Clear each seasonal cycle of three stages on Normal, Hard and Brutal |
| Contingency Contract and events | Single player | Clear limited-time stages and claim the rewards before they end |
Right now Echoes of War: Season of Fervor runs from November 5 to November 26, 2026, and Contingency Contract: Indigo Experimental Operation runs from November 5 to November 25, 2026, using Asia server dates.
How does progression work in Arknights: Endfield?
Authority Level is your account level. It rises as you complete quests, Protocol Spaces and daily activities, and it unlocks new systems and modes. Umbral Monument needs Authority Level 30 and Chapter I Process II, and Echoes of War needs Authority Level 40. Many activities use Sanity, a stamina resource that refills over time, so daily play matters more than long sessions.
You get new Operators and weapons from gacha banners using premium currency, which you earn in game or buy. Leveling them and building your factory are what let you push the endgame tiers.
What are the best beginner tips for Arknights: Endfield?
- Spend your Sanity every day. It refills over time, so letting it cap wastes progress.
- Follow the main story first. It unlocks most systems, regions and endgame modes.
- Build up your factory early. A steady supply of materials makes every upgrade easier.
- Focus on one main squad. Spreading resources across many Operators slows you down.
- Pick up teleport points as you explore. They save a lot of travel time later.
- Plan your pulls. Read banner details before spending, because premium currency is limited.
If you would rather improve your own play, a coach can review your account, team building and factory layout and show you what to focus on next.
