How to Get Laevatain as a F2P Player in Arknights: Endfield

One of the biggest questions surrounding Arknights: Endfield right now is simple: can a free-to-play player actually guarantee a limited character like Laevatain? A lot of players are worried that they won’t have enough time or enough currency to make it happen.

Short answer: yes, you absolutely can.
Long answer: let’s break down exactly how.

Clearing Up the Gacha Confusion

There’s been a lot of misinformation floating around about pull acquisition in Endfield. To be clear, this isn’t about the total number of pulls in the game (which current estimates place around 240, subject to change). That means realistically you have 2 limited banner pulls. The real concern players have is limited banner currency—specifically, whether F2P players can realistically earn enough to guarantee a limited operator before the banner ends.

1. Bond Quota Exchange

The Bond Quota Exchange lets you buy Chartered Headhunting Permits, which can be used on limited banners.

• Each permit costs 25 Bond Quota
• Bond Quota comes from duplicates:
  • 6★ duplicate → 50 Bond Quota
  • 5★ duplicate → 10 Bond Quota

---

2. AIC Quota Exchange

This system is easy to miss.

You can buy up to five Firewalker’s Trial Headhunting Permits per banner using AIC Quota.

• AIC Quota comes from converting max-potential duplicates
• This is especially relevant for 4★ operators
• Operators you aren’t using should still have their potential maxed so they can be converted

In short: duplicates you’d normally ignore still translate into limited banner value.

3. Daily Credits & the Credit Store

You earn 300 credits per day, which can be spent in the Credit Store.

• The store frequently offers Oroberyls
• While not guaranteed daily, it’s a steady supplemental source

---

4. Daily Missions & Passive Income

Dailies are one of the biggest advantages regular players have.

• Each day grants pull currency.
• Every 2.5 days = enough for one pull
• Over the course of a limited banner, this adds up fast

Weekly routines also provide extra currency, though in smaller amounts.

---

5. Simulations & Authority Levels

Simulations are incredibly efficient because they give:

• Character EXP
• Oroberyl currency

That EXP matters because Authority Level rewards include Oroberyl

• Early levels give ~50 per level
• Higher levels scale up to 100–200 per level
• Progression slows, but the rewards improve

Running simulations effectively lets you double-dip into both EXP and pull currency.

---

6. Open World Exploration

Despite the memes, open world exploration is one of the best sources of pulls.

• Chests commonly give 60 Oroberyl.
• Smaller 10 value chests exist, but they’re not the majority
• Exploration also grants EXP, feeding into Authority Levels

Even partial completion yields massive value. Large sections of the map can remain unfinished while still providing enough currency to guarantee a limited unit.

---

7. Quests: Currency, EXP, and Exploration Combined

Story and side quests:

• Rewards Oroberyl
• Grant character EXP
• Lead you to new areas filled with chests

They’re low-effort, high-reward, and naturally synergize with open-world farming.

---

8. Factory Systems & Standard Banner Pulls

Standard banner pulls matter more than they seem.

• Standard pulls → 5★ duplicates
• Duplicates → Bond Quota
• Bond Quota → Limited pulls

You can earn standard pulls through:

• Factory systems
• Regional Development
• NPC vendors (like the rabbit merchant)

Engaging with these systems indirectly fuels your limited banner progress.

---

9. Events & Firewalker’s Trial

Limited events also provide:

• Direct limited banner pulls
• Firewalker’s Trial permits (up to 5 per banner)

Even if you miss some events, these still act as a bonus acceleration toward guarantees.

---

10. Originium, Battle Pass, and Smart Conversion

When submitting Originium:

• You earn Origeometry
• Origeometry can be converted into Oroberyls.

Before converting, always buy the Original Supply (mid-tier battle pass):

• Costs Origeometry
• Refunds 110%
• Gives bonus Originium plus all pass rewards

Best practice:

• Buy the pass first
• Convert excess Origeometry afterward
• Rebuild currency naturally for the next pass

Arknights: Endfield is far more generous than it’s being given credit for, especially for free-to-play players willing to engage with its systems. Between exploration, duplicates, factories, dailies, and events, guaranteeing Laevatain is completely realistic without spending money.

If you focus on steady progression instead of rushing banners blindly, the pulls are there—and they add up faster than most people expect.
