This Arknights pity calculator turns your pity counter into a real percentage. The Headhunting banner guarantees a top-rarity drop by pull 99, with soft pity from pull 50 (the rate climbs from 2.0% to 4.0% on that pull and keeps rising). There is no coin flip on this banner: the guaranteed top-rarity drop is always the featured unit. Starting from zero pity, 10 pulls give you a 18% chance and you need about 35 pulls for a coin-flip 50%. Set your current pity and the pulls you have saved to see your own number. Arknights has one of the most transparent systems around: the 6★ rate is a flat 2% for the first 50 pulls, then rises 2 points per pull until it is guaranteed, and the counter resets only when a 6★ drops.

How the Arknights Headhunting pity system works
- Counter. Every pull without a top-rarity drop adds 1 to your pity. The counter resets to 0 the moment you get one — it does not reset when the banner rotates.
- Soft pity zone (pull 50 → 99). From pull 50 the per-pull rate jumps to about 4.0% and grows on each following pull. Most top-rarity drops in Arknights land inside this window, which is why the average is far below the hard cap.
- Hard pity (99). If you reach pull 99 without a drop, that pull is forced to be top rarity. From zero that costs 59,400 Orundum.
- Featured guarantee. The pity drop is always the featured unit, so 99 pulls (59,400 Orundum) is the true ceiling.
- Limited banners. On limited headhunting events, 300 pulls unlock an exchange for the limited operator, and the first 10-pull guarantees a 6★ on your first ever roll of that event.
