Arknights free pulls: how many Orundum you earn per month without paying

Every pull in Arknights costs 600 Orundum. A free-to-play account that clears its routine content collects roughly 14,390–15,890 Orundum a month, which converts into 23–26 pulls on the Headhunting banner. Below is where that currency actually comes from, source by source, and what it means against a hard pity of 99.

The table only counts sources that repeat every month. Story rewards, achievements and other one-off bonuses are listed separately: they are a big head start for a new account, but they do not pay the next banner.

Where the free Orundum come from each month

Source	Orundum / month	≈ pulls
Daily missions	3,000	5
Weekly missions	2,150	3
Annihilation (full weekly cap)	7,740	12
Events (variable)only in months with an active event, no fixed figure confirmed	1,500–3,000	2–5
Monthly total (recurring only)	14,390–15,890	23–26

How far 23–26 pulls a month get you on the Headhunting banner

Hard pity on this banner sits at 99 pulls, with soft pity kicking in around 50. Saving everything, a free player reaches hard pity in about 4 months, and the worst case for the featured unit (99 pulls) in about 4 months. With one month of pulls and no pity carried over, the chance of the featured unit is 37%–41%; with two months saved it climbs to 61%–69%.

One-time boosts for new accounts

These pay out once per account. They are not part of the monthly figure, but a fresh Arknights account can pull far more in its first weeks than the recurring total suggests.

If you spend a little

The cheapest recurring purchase in Arknights is by far the best Orundum-per-dollar deal in the shop. This is how much it adds on top of the free income:

With the Card of Fortitude (~$4.99)+7,100 Orundum / month ≈ +11 pulls
