Arknights' latest update introduces Contingency Contract Season #1 [Operation Pyrite]
Yostar Limited's popular tower defence game Arknights has begun a new event with another overly wordy title. The latest is called Contingency Contract Season #1 [Operation Pyrite]. It involves a host of highly customisable stages that are intended to test the flexibility and strengths of your squad.
During this first – though it's actually the second – season, there will be 8 different sites, each of which will have different maps and enemies. With the exception of one of them, these sites will rotate on a daily basis and will provide a new experience even for those who took part in season zero. You'll be able to combine different contracts with these new sites to create a challenge for even the most veteran of players.
During the event, the Cross-Season Secret Sanctuary will be open. Here you'll be able to redeem various rewards by using Contract Bounty. The prizes up for grabs this season include a new outfit for Manticore and a rerun outfit for Perfumer and Barrenland. There's also the Pyrite Pennant Furniture Set, the Royal Vanguard Tokens, Elite Materials, LMD, Furniture Part, Battle Record, Chips and more.
Elsewhere, two new Operators will also be added to the game. The first is five-star Defender Asbestos who specialises in dealing and preventing Arts damage. The other meanwhile, Tsukinogi, is a five-star Supporter who can reduce the damage allies take and remove enemy stealth.
Arknights is available now over on the App Store and Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
