Arknights unlocks

Permanent progression, so there is no deadline — these outlast the event entirely. Only worth doing for Operators you actually field. Meet the level and promotion requirements, complete the Operator's Module mission, unlock the base Module, then decide whether Stage 2 or 3 is worth the materials for your build.

• optionalUnlock the Aak Module — GEE-Y

  If you own and use Aak
• optionalUnlock the Eyjafjalla the Hvít Aska Module — WDM-Y

  If you own and use her
• optionalUnlock the Jessica the Liberated Module — SPT-Y

  If you own and use her
• optionalUnlock the Bellone Module — FGT-Y

  Bellone is the new 6★ from the By My Rules banner

Added to Global on August 17 2026 at 04:00 UTC-7, replacing Undercurrent Nest in the rotating slot. The one-time progression here is separate from the recurring weekly Orundum cap.

• Unlock and enter Scorching Workshop

  The current rotating Annihilation stage
• Reach 400 kills for the one-time rewards

  A one-off clear reward, distinct from the weekly cap
• optionalEstablish a stable Proxy record

  Only worth it if you intend to run this stage weekly — a reliable auto-clear saves the time every week thereafter

⚠️ Arknights consistently separates "the stages close" from "the rewards stop being claimable", and the second date is the one that costs you. Both current events do this, and both give three extra days.

The official PC client launched with this content period, on August 13 2026 at 04:00 UTC-7. It supports keyboard and mouse with customisable bindings and a high frame rate mode up to 120 FPS. ⚠️ The one thing worth being careful about: log in with your existing account rather than letting the client create a new one — progression is shared across Windows, Android and iOS only if it is genuinely the same account.

• optionalInstall the official PC client

• priorityVerify your existing account is bound

  Sign in with your existing Yostar account or its linked Google, Apple or Facebook login — NOT a fresh account
• Confirm cross-platform sync before relying on it

  Check that your Operators, resources and progression appear as expected before playing seriously on the new platform
• optionalConfigure graphics and key bindings

  Key bindings are customisable in settings, and the frame rate cap can be raised to 120 FPS
