Arknights Endfield rating: what's in it

Short answer: It's rated for teens in the US and for 16 and up in Europe.

• US & Canada (ESRB): T. The ESRB describes fights with swords, blasters, spears, and artillery turrets, with explosions and cries of pain; female characters with deep cleavage and exaggerated proportions; and a few strong words.
• Europe & UK (PEGI): 16. PEGI says that after its rating criteria changed in June 2026, games with loot boxes or other paid random items get PEGI 16 by default. PEGI also notes that some character designs may scare younger players.
• App Store: 13+. Google Play: Teen.

How Headhunting works: paid random draws

Short answer: Headhunting is the game's random draw for Operators, and its currency can be bought with real money.

On the App Store, Origeometry, the paid currency, costs $1.99 to $69.99 per pack, and a Monthly Pass costs $4.99. Apple's listing says the game offers purchases "for certain items (including random items)." Guides such as Prydwen say a draw costs 500 Oroberyl and that Origeometry converts to Oroberyl. PEGI notes battle passes too.

The habit kids may copy: build it again

Factory lines in Endfield often don't work on the first try; players rebuild them until they do.
