Psa: Arknights Endfield Players Report Paypal Accounts Being Hacked After Launch Purchases

Many players have reported that their PayPal account is getting hacked after linking and making purchases on Arknights Endfield.
The developers have responded by removing the PayPal payment method and putting it under maintenance.
The issue has been identified and fixed. The developers have started reimbursing all affected accounts.

Arknights Endfield has finally released earlier today, and the game has been equally good and well-received as in the early beta. However, as with most games nowadays, it has become common for launch days to have problems.

Even though the game doesn’t have any issues at the moment, a more serious threat has happened instead. Multiple Arknights Endfield players have taken to Reddit to report their PayPal accounts getting hacked after making in-game purchases. Here is everything you need to know about what has happened and how Hypergryph is taking care of it.

Arknights Endfield PayPal Issue Has Been Fixed (UPDATE)

Hypergryph has made an announcement settling the entire PayPal issue on their official X account . After the investigation, the developers found that there was an inconsistency between the order and item delivery. How this ended up allowing accounts to be hacked is something we are yet to know, but they have reassured that the issue has been fixed.

Furthermore, they have begun issuing full refunds for all PayPal transactions between 9:36:51 AM (UTC+8) and 11:05:36 AM (UTC+8), including purchases using the official launcher and top-ups made via topup.gryphline.com. All refunds will be completed within four hours, and players who do not receive their refunds can reach out to endfield_cs@gryphline.com with their server and UID information.

Editor’s Note: There has been an update on this situation, which has been explained in the section above.

The exact method that the hackers are using is currently unknown, but it definitely has something to do with the PayPal payment method integration in the game. The developers of Arknight Endfield have also responded to this entire fiasco on X, acknowledging the issue and notifying players that the PayPal payment channel has been put under maintenance .

The post asks players to use other available payment channels to make purchases for the moment. However, what it doesn’t specify is how the players who have already lost their money will be reimbursed.

Hopefully, the Arknights Enfield PayPal issue will be fixed soon, and the victims of the hacking attack will get their lost assets back. The title appears to be a breakthrough gacha game that runs really well at launch.

It’s a shame that the game’s launch is getting dampened for something unrelated to the gameplay mechanics and performance. However, the importance of the issue cannot be undercut, as many have lost their entire PayPal wallet due to this problem.

Arknights Endfield’s AIC factory system has a blueprint mechanic that lets you save, obtain, and place them.
Use the Bulk Action option in the AIC Top View to select your buildings and save them in the blueprint.
Next, submit the blueprint and once it is approved, players can share it with their friends.

Arknights Endfield is one of the most complicated gacha games ever, but learning its mechanics is also highly satisfying. The most complex aspect of Endfield is AIC factories, which are the base building and resource management mechanics unique to this game. The AIC factories can take hours to set up by yourself, unless you use blueprints. So, here is a quick guide on how to create, save, obtain, and place Arknights Endfield Blueprints.

How To Create Your Arknights Endfield Blueprints

AIC Factory may be complex, but the game at least allows you to create and share blueprints. These Arknights Endfield blueprints can save you a ton of time. Instead of setting up your own base, you can simply use an optimized AIC base of one of your friends to have an optimized production chain. And you can also save your own blueprint, allowing you to tryout more variety without worrying about losing your first setup.

So, how to create these Arknights Endfield AIC blueprints? Here are the steps to do it:

Select the AIC Section You Want to Save

First, enter your AIC mode and then enter the Top View. Next, select Bulk Action and select the portion you want to save as a blueprint. Not all structures are supported in a blueprint, so make sure to double-check what you are missing out on after you have selected. Once you have selected the correct portion, click ‘Ctrl + S’ to save the blueprint.

Add Name and Other Details

After saving the blueprint, you will have to give it a name and add a description. There are other options as well, like tags and icons that will help you identify your blueprint more accurately. This will save your blueprint, which you can access anytime now.

After you have saved your blueprint, you can share it with your friends or others. To do it, click on the Submit it for Review option. Once the Blueprint is approved, you will see the Share button in place of the Submit for Review option. Now, click on it and you can either share it with your in-game friends or copy the blueprint code and share it outside.

How to Obtain and Place Arknights Endfield Blueprints?

There are various ways to obtain Arknights Endfield blueprints. The easiest way is to simply visit your friends’ AIC factory and copy their base’s blueprint. But if you don’t have any in-game friends, or none of them have good bases, you can always look for blueprint codes out in the community.

The Endfield subreddit is a great place to find such codes. Other than these, you should also check out Arknights Endfield codes from our dedicated list to get free rewards. Now, once you have the blueprint, head to the Shared Blueprints section and click on Import Blueprint. Enter the blueprint code to import it and then click Place or Construct to build it.
