What to know
- You can get a free 6-star operator just by consistently logging in during the beginner sign-in period (commonly listed as a 14-day login).
- New accounts have a beginner banner that guarantees a 6-star operator within 40 pulls.
- Some rewards are 6-star weapon selectors, not a choose-any 6-star character ticket.
- Launch redeem codes can accelerate you toward guaranteed milestones by providing extra currency/materials, but they don’t directly equal a free 6-star operator by themselves.
Right at launch, Arknights: Endfield’s freebies are structured to get you at least one strong 6-star operator quickly, then round out your account with pulls, weapons, and materials if you keep playing daily.
If you’re hunting free 6-star items and operators, the most reliable path is to claim the login 6-star, finish the beginner banner’s 40-pull guarantee, and only then decide how to spend any selectors/currency you’ve accumulated.
| Free 6-star item | What it is | How you get it | When you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ardelia (6-star operator) | Guaranteed 6-star character | Log in for the beginner sign-in period (often described as 14 total days) | Over your first two weeks |
| Guaranteed 6-star operator (beginner banner) | Guaranteed 6-star character (random within that banner’s pool) | Do 40 pulls on the beginner banner | Usually within your first day or two, depending on playtime |
| 6-star weapon selector (beginner system) | Choose a 6-star weapon from a limited selection pool | Tied to completing the beginner banner’s 40 pulls (as described in launch guides) | After completing the 40-pull beginner track |
Free 6-star items and operators can you get in Arknights: Endfield
You can easily get the following 6-star items and/or operators in the following ways:
- A guaranteed free 6-star operator from the beginner sign-in.
- A guaranteed 6-star operator from the beginner banner’s 40-pull pity, which is achievable without spending if you use launch rewards wisely.
- Separately, Endfield also pushes 6-star weapon access early via selectors and curated weapon systems, which can feel like “another free 6-star,” but it’s a weapon reward rather than an operator.
How to get your free 6-star operator (step-by-step)
If you’re specifically looking for 6-star operators, here’s how to get them:
Step 1: Start the game and push to the main menu
Complete the prologue/tutorial until you have stable access to menus, mail, and event pages so you can claim sign-in rewards and any launch items properly.
Step 2: Track the beginner sign-in event every day
Look for the beginner or Awakening sign-in event and commit to daily logins until the final day that awards the 6-star operator Ardelia.

Launch rewards arrive if you “log in for a total of 14 days,” so missing days can delay your claim.
Step 3: Don’t ignore your mailbox and claim items as they arrive
Launch campaigns and milestone rewards are often delivered via mail, and claiming them keeps your currency flow steady for beginner pulls.
Step 4: Finish the beginner banner’s guaranteed 6-star within 40 pulls
The beginner banner is designed to guarantee a 6-star operator by your 40th pull, making it the most efficient early “guaranteed power spike” for a new account.
If your goal is to get a free 6-star character fast, this is typically the fastest route because it’s time-gated by playtime rather than calendar days.
Step 5: Claim the beginner-system weapon bonus (if available in your track)
After you complete the 40 beginner pulls, you also receive a weapon supply/selector that lets you choose a 6-star weapon from a defined pool.
Treat this as an account-shaping decision (it can make your best early operator feel dramatically stronger), so it’s worth pausing before you pick.
Rewards (free 6-star)
| Reward | Type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Ardelia | 6-star operator | Beginner sign-in completion (commonly described as 14 total logins) |
| 6-star operator (guaranteed) | 6-star operator | Reach 40 pulls on the beginner banner |
| 6-star weapon selector/supply | 6-star weapon choice (pool-limited) | Tied to the beginner 40-pull track in launch guides |
How to speed it up with launch codes (optional)
If you’re trying to reach the beginner banner guarantee sooner without paying, redeem codes can help by providing extra currency/materials that reduce early friction.
As of late January 2026, the launch code include:
- ALLFIELD
- RETURNOFALL
- ENDFIELDGIFT
- ENDFIELD4PC (PC-exclusive).
All of the above expire on January 29th, 2026.
Step 1: Open Settings from the main menu
Enter the settings menu once you’ve cleared the tutorial unlock requirements.
Step 2: Go to Account and choose Redeem Code
Use the Account tab, then select Redeem Code.
Step 3: Paste the code and claim from mailbox
Confirm the code, then collect the items from your in-game mailbox.
If you want a guaranteed free 6-star operator with minimal uncertainty, prioritize the beginner sign-in track for Ardelia and complete the beginner banner’s 40 pulls for the guaranteed 6-star operator.
Once those are secured, use selectors (especially weapon selectors) to reinforce your strongest operator instead of rushing a pick on day one.
