Free Currency Awaits in Arknights: Endfield’s OrbiPom Merge Event
Mark October 1 on your calendar if you want a last batch of free currency before Arknights: Endfield’s next patch lands. That is when the OrbiPom merge web event opens, a browser-based activity that pays out Oroberyls and T-Creds until the following version update and its maintenance window arrive.
The timing places this right after the Dreamscape of Wind and Snow update from early September. That patch was a full content drop. This event is the opposite, a light web activity with a single job, handing out currency to anyone who completes a few merges.
The essentials at a glance
- No official name is given; the notice just calls it a web event
- Runs from 2026-10-01 at 12:00 server time until the next version update and maintenance
- Pays out Oroberyls, T-Creds, and other items the notice does not itemize
- Unlocked by clearing Chapter I Process II: Paving the Way
- Played in the browser, no game client needed
- Asia sits at UTC+8, Americas and Europe at UTC-5
How the merge loop works
The core loop takes seconds to learn. Combine OrbiPoms of the same type to create a larger OrbiPom, keep combining, and watch the points climb. Those points unlock the rewards listed in the official notice.
Anyone who has touched a merge minigame in another gacha title will recognize the format. The OrbiPom theme fits Endfield’s own visual style, which gives the event a bit of local flavor instead of a generic reskin.
The official materials mention no stamina costs, no daily caps, and no leaderboard. Treat this as a low-pressure side activity. You can open the page, do a few merges, and close it again without worrying about a daily checklist.
What you need to have done
Participation requires clearing Chapter I Process II: Paving the Way, an early main story mission. Most active accounts will already have it finished. New players or anyone rushing an alternate account should push through that chapter before October 1 so the opening stretch is not wasted.
Server clocks and start times
Start time depends on which server you play on. Both regions show the event opening at noon, but the clocks behind those labels differ.
| Server | Time zone | Event start |
|---|---|---|
| Asia | UTC+8 | 2026-10-01 12:00 |
| Americas / Europe | UTC-5 | 2026-10-01 12:00 |
Notice the Americas and Europe row runs on UTC-5. That is an Eastern time zone offset, so if your local clock sits outside it, noon server time will not be noon for you. Convert before the day arrives and you will not have to scramble.
Rewards and what they are worth
The notice confirms Oroberyls and T-Creds as rewards and leaves the rest under the label “other event rewards.” No quantities are given, so do the math on pull value and you will come up empty. Oroberyls typically go toward pulls, while T-Creds act as general spending currency.
Web events in this genre tend to add a modest but welcome cushion to your balance. If you are saving for an upcoming banner, every Oroberyl moves the needle a little. The merge format is also fast, so the time investment stays small relative to what you collect.
What the notice does not say
There is no mention of new banners, character rate-ups, or shop bundles anywhere in the announcement. If you were hoping for a banner reveal alongside this event, that news is not here. Players tracking the current patch cycle should keep an eye on official channels for that information.
Free to play, no strings attached
Nothing about the event costs money. There is no paid tier and no premium pass. Free-to-play players simply complete the merges, collect the currencies, and move on. The announcement gives no reason to treat this as anything more than a quick claim.
The event runs from 2026-10-01 at 12:00 server time until the version update and maintenance begin, so the patch schedule sets the closing date. Clear the early chapter, note the noon start, and spend a few minutes merging while the window is open.
