If you’ve spent hours grinding CE-5 for Lungmen Dollars, clearing Contingency Contract stages on max risk, or geeking out over Arknights’ dark, dystopian lore, you’ve almost certainly had Arknights Endfield on your radar for months. The open-world spinoff of the beloved tower defense gacha has been shrouded in mystery since its first announcement, and the first closed beta only gave players a tiny taste of what the full game will offer. Now, the second closed beta is right around the corner, and getting your hands on an Arknights Endfield Beta 2 event ticket is the only way to get early access to new zones, characters, and gameplay mechanics before the general public. We’ve pulled together everything we know from official announcements, dev comments, and feedback from first beta testers to help you navigate the sign-up process, avoid common pitfalls, and make the most of your test access if you get selected.
Eligibility Rules for Your Arknights Endfield Beta 2 Event Ticket
Before you jump into the sign-up process, it’s important to make sure you meet all the basic eligibility requirements to even be considered for a ticket. First off, you have to be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your country of residence, to participate. Hypergryph requires this because beta testers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to prevent leaks of unreleased content, and minors can’t legally sign that type of document. Next, you need a valid Hypergryph account in good standing, with no prior bans or suspensions on any Arknights title, including the original Arknights, Arknights: Endfield, or Arknights: Reimei Zensou. If you’ve had action taken against your account for cheating, toxic behavior, or real-money trading in the past, your application will automatically be rejected.
You also need to have a device that meets the minimum beta requirements, either for PC or mobile. For PC, that means at least an Intel Core i5-8400 processor, 8GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card. For mobile, you need at least a Snapdragon 865 processor or equivalent, 6GB of RAM, and Android 11 or later, or an iPhone 12 or later running iOS 16 or later. You don't need to spend any money to enter the beta sign-up, any listings selling tickets for real cash are scams, full stop. Even if you participated in the first closed beta, you don't get automatic entry to the second test. You will get priority in the selection process, but you still have to fill out the full sign-up form to be considered. A lot of first beta testers make the mistake of skipping the sign-up step, assuming they'll get an invite automatically, and end up missing out entirely.
Step-by-Step Sign-Up Process to Claim Your Beta Ticket
Now that you know you’re eligible, let’s walk through the exact steps you need to follow to submit your application. First, head to the official Arknights Endfield event page, and log into your existing Hypergryph account, or create a new one if you don’t have one already. Make sure you log in with the account you plan to use if you get selected, you won't be able to transfer your beta access to a different account later. Next, fill out the official eligibility survey. The survey will ask you basic questions like your age, location, what type of device you plan to play on, and how long you've been a fan of the Arknights franchise. It also has a few open-ended questions, like what you're most excited to test in the second beta, and what types of open-world games you usually play. Hypergryph prioritizes players who can provide detailed, actionable feedback, so don't just write one-word answers for these questions. Taking 2-3 minutes to write a thoughtful response about how you want to test combat balance, open world exploration, or story pacing will drastically increase your odds of being selected.
Third, confirm your contact information before submitting your application. The email linked to your Hypergryph account is the only way they'll notify you if you're selected, so make sure it's an email you check regularly, and that emails from Hypergryph aren't going to your spam folder. Fourth, keep an eye on official Arknights social media channels for extra entry opportunities. The dev team regularly runs giveaways for extra beta tickets on Twitter, Discord, and TikTok, usually for fans who share event posts, participate in fan art contests, or answer trivia questions about the Arknights universe. These giveaways have much lower competition than the general sign-up pool, so they're a great way to boost your odds of getting in. Even if you already submitted your general application, it's worth entering these giveaways for a second shot at access.
Before you hit submit on your application, make sure you avoid these common mistakes that get thousands of applications rejected every beta cycle:
If you avoid these mistakes, you'll already be ahead of most people applying for access.
What Perks Come With Your Beta Ticket?
You might be wondering why so many people are fighting to get access to a test build of a game that isn't even finished yet, and the perks are a big part of the appeal. First and foremost, you get two full weeks of exclusive early access to the second beta build, which includes hours of new story content, three brand new open world zones that weren't available in the first beta, and 10 playable characters, including four that haven't been revealed to the public yet. You'll also get access to the new base building and crafting systems that the dev team added after feedback from the first beta. All progress you make during the beta will not carry over to the full launch, but you will get an exclusive in-game portrait and limited-edition title for your full game account as a thank you for participating in testing. These rewards are only available to beta testers, so they'll be a rare way to show off that you were part of the game's development process once it launches publicly.
You also get access to the private beta Discord server, where you can chat directly with the Endfield dev team, report bugs in real time, and share feedback that could actually shape the final version of the game. First beta testers have said that the dev team is incredibly responsive to community feedback, and a lot of the changes coming in the second beta are directly based on suggestions from first test participants. Testers who submit high-quality bug reports and detailed feedback often get priority access to future Endfield tests as well, so if you're hoping to get into later closed betas or the final open beta, putting in the work to give good feedback during this test will go a long way. You'll also get to participate in beta-exclusive in-game events, like limited-time challenge runs and boss fights that are only available during the second test, to help the dev team balance endgame content before launch.
How to Spot Fake Beta Ticket Scams
Unfortunately, any high-demand game beta brings out scammers looking to make a quick buck off excited fans, and Endfield's second beta is no exception. There are already dozens of fake listings and scam messages floating around online, so it's important to know how to spot them to avoid getting scammed. First, remember that Hypergryph never sells beta tickets directly, and all official giveaways are run exclusively through their verified social media channels and official website. Any listing on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or third-party key sites selling beta tickets for real cash is 100% a scam, no exceptions. Never share your Hypergryph account password, credit card information, or personal ID with anyone who says they can get you a guaranteed beta ticket, these scams are designed to steal your account, your money, or your personal identity.
You should also be wary of random DMs on Discord, Twitter, or TikTok from people offering to sell you a beta code. Most of these codes are either already used, fake, or were stolen from other players, and if you buy one, you'll lose your money and won't get access to the beta. If someone offers you a code for free, make sure it's coming from a verified official account, or ask a mod in the official Arknights Endfield Discord server to confirm if the offer is legitimate before you accept it. If you do come across a scam listing or a scammer reaching out to you, report it to the official mod team immediately to help keep other fans from getting scammed.
At the end of the day, getting an Arknights Endfield Beta 2 event ticket is all about following official steps, being honest on your application, and avoiding scams while you wait for selections to be announced. Selections are sent out in waves starting one week before the beta goes live, so don't panic if you don't get an email on the first day of notifications. Even if you don't get selected this time around, there will be more test opportunities before the full game launches, so keep an eye on official channels for future sign-up windows. If you do get lucky and get access, take the time to explore everything the beta has to offer, test out different character builds and playstyles, and share honest, detailed feedback with the dev team to help make Endfield the best possible game for all fans when it launches.
