- Hoshiguma The Breacher will be the limited unit of the anniversary banner.
- We are getting 10 Headhunting permits during the anniversary
- Side story ATO is going to be the main focus of the anniversary
Arknights, the strategic RPG, is celebrating its 6th Anniversary on the Global server from January 16th, 10:00 (UTC-7), to February 13th, 2026, 03:59 (UTC-7). Here, I will provide you with all the details and announcements made during the 6th Anniversary Livestream.
There will be new prizes and rewards for the course of the anniversary, hence if you are an Arknights fan, you can’t afford to miss out on them. This anniversary will focus on new operator Haruka and old operator Hoshiguma in the Yan region of Higurashi.
I am looking forward to the story and what the new place, Mitsukue, looks like in Higurashi. Two new 5-star Operators, who are Matsukiri and Kichisei, with 2 new 6-star Operators who are Haruka and Hoshiguma The Breacher, who is the Limited unit of this banner.
Arknights 6th Anniversary Celebrations: All you need to know
Arknights brings Carnival Side Story limited event Ato
Ato is the thirty-eighth Side Story and fifth Carnival event in Arknights, and the seventh event in the Summertime Beats story arc that is running on the 6th Anniversary. All Doctors must have cleared the 1-10 main story stages to access AT operations in the event.
All AT operations are worth 40 Originite Prime (2nd Main currency for banner pulls and buying outfits). Operators from the banner will gain 50% more Trust during the event.
Fourth Carnival Headhunting banner: Hanabi Exiled
Every day, the player can perform one headhunting pull for free at Hanabi, Exiled banner, accumulating over 20 pulls by merely logging in. These free pulls do not transfer over to the next day, so they must be used before the daily reset. Hanabi Exiled also removes Ch’en the Holungday from the secondary rate-up Carnival limited Operators.
A single Ballad of Vagabonds Headhunting Permit (10 free pulls) can be claimed while Hanabi Exiled is up. The Headhunting Data Contract to exchange directly is 300 for Doctors to get the limited operator Hoshiguma The Breacher, or Haruka. The amount of Headhunting Data Contracts needed to buy Ch’en the Holungday in the Headhunting Data Contract Store is reduced to 200.
Arknights 6th anniversary rewards
We are getting a lot of rewards during the 6th anniversary, but before the anniversary even starts, we are getting a lot of rewards in our mail with 1200 Orundum, Operator levelling up materials, and even 2 free Kernal Headhunting permits.
Let me break them down on what we are getting during the 6th anniversary so far.
- Free 10x Headhunting permit with 20 daily free pulls.
- Free Top Operator activity transfer permit (Bagpipe, Surtr, Eyja, or Saria).
- Free outfit voucher for any 18 Originite Prime or below-priced outfits.
- Free Senior Operator activity transfer permit, with which you can choose any of the 5 star operator.
- Limited 5 Star Operator Savage is claimable during the anniversary event phase.
- During the Enmusubi Wishing Wall event, you can log in to claim a random number of Orundum every day till the Hanabi Exiled banner runs.
Outfits for Operators
Ch’en The Holungday is finally getting her Holiday outfit, which the community dubbed Tourist C, as she was seen wearing this way back during the first beachside event. Pepe is another limited character to get an outfit from the list, and with Thorns getting his first live 2D outfit.
Necrass and May are also getting new outfits, which you can use the free outfit voucher to get, as they will be priced at 18 Originite Prime.
Final Thoughts
Returning and New Doctors are going to be enjoying the rewards during this anniversary, and the community is delighted to know we are finally getting Hoshiguma alter after all these many years. Hopefully, with Arknights: Endfield on the horizon, Hypergryph can keep the community happy.
