Gryphline announced on the 20th that it is hosting a special play event in collaboration with PicaPlay to celebrate the half-anniversary of Arknights: Endfield. The campaign, aimed at providing various perks to players, will run until August 16th.

Anyone with the CraftBox program installed on their PC—whether at one of the 2,600 PicaPlay-affiliated PC bangs across the country or at home—can participate. During the event period, a variety of missions and collaborative benefits will be available. For starters, the 'Daily Sortie' mission rewards players with Pica Mileage on a first-come, first-served basis for logging an hour of gameplay. This mileage can be used for PC bang usage fees, snacks, or cultural gift vouchers, with participation limited to once per day and a maximum of three times per PicaPlay account.

Furthermore, a tiered reward system based on cumulative playtime is in place; players hitting the 3-hour and 5-hour milestones will receive in-game items. The top 120 players with the highest cumulative playtime during the event will be gifted official merchandise and Galaxy Store gift cards.

There is also an offline component. The Red Force PC Seoul National University Station branch in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, has been decked out in an Arknights: Endfield theme. Customers who purchase the limited-edition 'Pioneer Energy Recharge Doctor Cider' will receive 500 Pica Mileage, along with random souvenir goodies like cup holders and straw picks.
