Arknights: Endfield Winter Hunt Banner Guide

The Winter Hunt Chartered Headhunting banner is now live in Arknights: Endfield, bringing the 6★ operator Typhoeus into the spotlight. Running alongside the Dreamscape of Wind and Snow update, this banner offers a limited-time chance to recruit a powerful new unit, plus a sign-in event and trial stage to help you prepare. If you're planning your pulls, here's everything you need to know about the schedule, rewards, and whether Typhoeus is worth your resources.

This banner is part of the latest wave of Arknights: Endfield news, and it follows the pattern of previous limited banners like the Deep Cold Issue weapon banner. Understanding the mechanics—especially the new Urgent Recruitment and Headhunting Dossier systems—can make a big difference in how efficiently you spend your currency.

Banner Details

The Winter Hunt banner features Typhoeus as the Rate-UP 6★ operator. Other 6★ operators that may appear include Liino, Arcane, Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik. Note that after three Chartered Headhunting banners, the Rate-UP 6★ will be removed from the pool and will not be added to Basic Headhunting—so this is your only chance to get Typhoeus for a while.

Pull Mechanics

• Urgent Recruitment: After 30 headhunting attempts, you get 10 bonus Urgent Recruitment attempts (a free 10× pull). This does not carry over to other banners, and the free 10× does not count toward the guarantee or the total attempts for rewards.
• Headhunting Dossier: After 60 attempts, you receive a Headhunting Dossier. It auto-converts to 10 special HH Permits for the next Chartered Headhunting banner, but those permits expire when that banner ends.
• Token Tribute: Every 240 attempts gives a Token of the Rate-UP 6★ operator (Typhoeus).

Arsenal Tickets

Every headhunting attempt earns Arsenal Tickets, which can be spent at the Acquisition Center's Arsenal Exchange. You get:

• 6★ operator: 2000 tickets
• 5★ operator: 200 tickets
• 4★ operator: 20 tickets

These tickets are a steady source of resources, so even off-banner pulls have some value.

Should You Pull?

Pull if:
– You need a strong 6★ operator and Typhoeus fits your team composition.
– You're a collector who wants to secure limited operators before they rotate out.
– You have enough currency to reach at least the 60-pull milestone for the Headhunting Dossier.

Skip if:
– You're saving for a future banner or a specific character.
– Your current roster already covers Typhoeus's role.
– You're F2P and prefer to hoard resources for guaranteed pulls.

Save for:
– If you're close to pity on a future banner, it might be wiser to wait. The Winter Hunt banner does not carry over pity to other banners, so plan accordingly.
