Arknights: Endfield<\/span><\/span><\/a> will roll out its first major content expansion, Version 1.1 titled Old Deep Water Dies, by Rising Tide It is Denied<\/em>, on March 12 as a free update.<\/p>\n

Publisher GRYPHLINE<\/span><\/span> confirmed the patch adds new Operators, story content, base-building systems, and quality-of-life improvements following what it described as a stronger-than-expected global launch in January.<\/p>\n

Two New 6-Star Operators Headline the Patch<\/h4>\n

Version 1.1 introduces two 6-star Operators that reshape team-building options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tangtang (Caster) \u2013 Specializes in AoE Cryo damage and crowd control. Her Ultimate immobilizes enemies, including bosses, creating controlled burst windows.<\/li>\n
  • Rossi (Guard) \u2013 Converts Arts Infliction into Vulnerability, effectively enabling Physical-focused squads to break defenses more efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The additions expand endgame composition diversity, particularly in high-difficulty encounters where damage windows and debuff layering matter most.<\/p>\n

    Hydro-Industrialization Expands Base Systems<\/h4>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The update introduces a new hydro-industrialization system, adding the Hydro Mining Rig, which gathers Cuprium using water flow instead of electricity.<\/p>\n

    New Conduits and Water Treatment Units extend logistics and resource management depth, while the Forge placement cap increases to four \u2014 raising the production ceiling for late-game progression.<\/p>\n

    These systems reinforce Endfield\u2019s hybrid design that blends RPG combat with industrial base-building.<\/p>\n

    New Story Area: Qingbo Stockade<\/h4>\n

    Players will explore the Qingbo Stockade in Wuling, advancing the Talos-II storyline. The arc centers on rising tensions tied to Nefarith and Ardashir, setting up larger conflicts teased for Version 1.2.<\/p>\n

    The next update is expected to introduce two additional maps and expand fluid-based production systems within the AIC Factory.<\/p>\n

    Rewards, Pulls, and Progression Changes<\/h4>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Version 1.1 expands player rewards beyond the initial 135 free pulls offered at launch. Additions include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 10 Chartered Headhunting Permits via new beginner milestones<\/li>\n
    • Two 7-day login campaigns<\/li>\n
    • Expanded AIC Quota rewards for acquiring 4\u20136 star Operators<\/li>\n
    • A revamped Protocol Pass with recurring Headhunting permits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The patch also introduces the Valley Multi-Line Engraving Kit, allowing customized triple-stat Essences \u2014 reducing RNG variance in endgame gear optimization.<\/p>\n

      Combat and Controller Improvements<\/h4>\n

      GRYPHLINE is addressing launch feedback with broad UI and control adjustments. Operators now enter Protocol Spaces with full HP and Ultimate Energy, and enemy telegraphs have been refined for visibility.<\/p>\n

      Controller players gain improved facility movement controls and map access during traversal, tightening exploration flow in vertical zones like Qingbo Stockade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
