GIRLS’ FRONTLINE 2: EXILIUM, the eagerly awaited sequel to the original GIRLS’ FRONTLINE, offers a revitalized gaming experience through its new narrative, stunning graphics, and a refined gameplay system. A pivotal element of the game is its Gacha system, which allows players to acquire new characters and weapons. Mastering this system is crucial for game progression, as it directly impacts your squad's effectiveness by unlocking powerful units and rare resources. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the Gacha system of GIRLS’ FRONTLINE 2: EXILIUM, detailing its mechanics and the various types of banners you'll encounter.
Understanding the Mechanics of the Gacha System
The Gacha system in GIRLS’ FRONTLINE 2: EXILIUM revolves around a randomized loot box mechanic, where players use in-game currency to summon for rewards, including characters (T-dolls) and weapons. The currency used for these pulls is categorized into several types:
- Access Permissions
- Special Access Permissions
- Event-specific Gacha Currency (earned through special events)
The probabilities of obtaining different rarities of T-dolls and weapons are as follows:
- SSR T-dolls – 0.3% chance of summoning
- SSR Weapons – 0.3% chance of summoning
- SR T-dolls – 3% chance of summoning
- SR Weapons – 3% chance of summoning
Players can summon both T-dolls and weapons across all banners, as they are mixed. Below, we explore the different types of gacha banners you'll encounter in the game.
Beginner Procurement Banner
The Beginner Procurement Banner is designed to give new players a head start. You're allowed a total of 50 pulls on this banner, with a guaranteed SSR character within those pulls, thanks to a "pity" system that kicks in during the last ten pulls if you haven't received one yet.
The drop rates for SSR characters on this banner are 0.6%, while SR characters and weapons have a 6% drop rate. The pity system ensures an SR character or weapon every 10 pulls, and an SSR character every 80 pulls. If you don't pull the featured character on your first SSR, the second SSR is guaranteed to be the rate-up character (hard pity at 160 pulls). Soft pity starts with the 58th draw. Importantly, pity does not carry over to other banners.
For an enhanced gaming experience on a larger screen, it's highly recommended to play GIRLS’ FRONTLINE 2: EXILIUM on your PC or laptop using BlueStacks, along with a keyboard and mouse setup.
