If you’ve been wondering whether Duet Night Abyss is a gacha game, the answer is simple — not anymore.

Why the gacha system was removed
During beta testing, players voiced concerns about the usual frustrations tied to gacha systems — low drop rates, RNG dependence, and stamina restrictions. In response, the developers announced the complete removal of both gacha and stamina mechanics. Their goal was to make Duet Night Abyss more accessible and player-friendly, focusing on gameplay depth rather than monetization pressure.
How character and weapon unlocking works now
In the new system, players can unlock every character and weapon simply by playing the game. Progression replaces randomness — completing missions, challenges, and story events naturally rewards you with new unlocks. There’s no pulling from banners, no pity rates, and no limited-time drops. This design ensures equal access to all playable content, regardless of spending.
