Best Free 6★ Weapon Selector Picks

After completing the New Horizons beginner banner, you can choose a free 6★ weapon. Here are the best picks:

TOP PICK

Wedge / JET

Both deliver massive personal damage boosts for Arts damage dealers. Highly versatile and work with many operators.

SITUATIONAL

White Night Nova

Strong stat-stick sword for Arts damage dealers, but requires Combustion/Electrification to activate full passive. Slightly less universal.

NICHE

Exemplar

Exclusively for Physical Greatsword users. Effective for that role but narrow focus makes it the least flexible choice.

Best Strategy: Pick a weapon that matches the 6★ operator you got from the beginner banner. Each signature weapon is tailor-made for its operator.

Weapon Investment Priority

  1. 1

    Main DPS Signature Weapon

    Your carry's signature weapon (e.g., Forgeborn Scathe for Laevatain) gives the biggest damage increase. Prioritize this first.

  2. 2

    Support Enabling Weapons

    Weapons like Clannibal for Wulfgard that boost your entire team's output. These multiply your DPS's damage.

  3. 3

    Sub-DPS Weapons

    After your main team is equipped, invest in weapons for secondary damage dealers and swap characters.

Important Reminder

Build your operator roster first! Weapon banners should only be pulled after you have your core team of operators. A 6★ operator without their signature weapon is still stronger than a 5★ with one.

Arknights Endfield Weapon FAQ

What is the best weapon in Arknights Endfield?

The best weapon depends on which operators you own. Signature weapons like Forgeborn Scathe (Laevatain), Delivery Guaranteed (Gilberta), and Artzy Tyrannical (Yvonne) are the strongest when paired with their respective operators.

Should I pull on weapon banners?

Only after you have a solid operator roster. Operators are more impactful than weapons. Since weapon pity doesn't carry over between banners, only commit when you can reach the 80-pull featured guarantee.

How do I get Arsenal Tickets?

Arsenal Tickets are earned every time you pull on character banners. They're also available from the Battle Pass and some bundles. You naturally accumulate them while building your operator roster.

Which free 6★ weapon should I choose?

Pick the weapon that matches the 6★ operator you got from the New Horizons beginner banner. If unsure, Wedge or JET are the most versatile options for Arts damage dealers.

Does weapon pity carry over in Arknights Endfield?

No, weapon banner pity does NOT carry over between banners. If you do 70 pulls on one weapon banner and it ends, those pulls reset to zero. This is why you should only pull when you can reach the guarantee.

What are the weapon pity rates?

Weapon banners have a 4% 6★ rate (much higher than character banners). You're guaranteed any 6★ weapon at 40 pulls and the featured weapon at 80 pulls.
