Gryphline has released Version 1.5 Part 2 of Arknights: Endfield, introducing a new map and a free operator that changes how players approach the game's current content. The update adds a complex environmental puzzle zone and gives away a high-tier character, which matters because it provides immediate power boosts and fresh gameplay mechanics for both new and returning players. This shift from standard combat to time-loop puzzles offers a distinct break from the usual action, giving players a new way to engage with the game's world.
Version 1.5 Part 2 adds Suiming map and 1,200 Oroberyl
The centerpiece of this update is the Suiming map, a city-sized zone that functions as a massive puzzle rather than a traditional combat arena. Players must navigate this area while managing a 15-minute time loop mechanic where water levels rise and fall with the Blight Tide. This environmental pressure forces players to plan routes carefully, as getting trapped by rising water can halt progress entirely. The design encourages strategic movement over raw combat power, making timing and observation key skills for success.
Alongside the new map, Gryphline is awarding Purrchena, a free 5-star Physical Defender, to all players through the "Purry Big Feline! Rawr!" event. Purrchena comes with six copies of her signature 5-star Sword, Dessert Moment, allowing players to fully refine the weapon immediately upon receipt. This generous distribution means every player can access her full potential without spending Oroberyl or pulling from the gacha system. The event also provides 1,200 Oroberyl, a Mark of Perseverance, and five Operator Tokens to help max out her Potential nodes.
This release follows the trajectory of previous updates, such as Version 1.3 which introduced the first male 6-star operator Camille. When we covered the last Arknights: Endfield update, several of the same balance and stability themes came up, showing a consistent focus on character diversity and game stability. The current update continues this trend by adding a new defensive operator and expanding the puzzle-solving aspects of the game. Players looking to strengthen their roster or tackle new environmental challenges will find this version particularly relevant.
The Version 1.5 Part 2 update is now live for all players, bringing the Suiming map and the free Purrchena operator to the game. The update advances the game's content schedule by introducing new story elements and providing players with free in-game items. Players can immediately start the "Purry Big Feline! Rawr!" event to claim their free operator and explore the new time-loop mechanics in Suiming.
