The Special Recruit for Ark Ranger Black runs from June 11 to July 2, 2026. The update also adds new costumes, an archive entry and a 14-day login campaign.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ark Ranger Black is an SSR Attacker who focuses on sustained damage. Her abilities steadily increase her offense during combat and her Burst Skill triggers a transformation that further boosts damage output. She uses the assault rifle &#8216;Crying Black&#8217;, carries the Wind code and is listed under Tetra Line. Players can attempt to recruit her through the Special Recruit banner during the June 11\u2013July 2 window.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update brings back summer characters through a Limited Select Recruit. The rerun pool includes Anis: Sparkling Summer, Helm: Aquamarine, Mary: Bay Goddess, Neon: Blue Ocean, Sakura: Bloom in Summer and Rosanna: Chic Ocean. The selection window aligns with the Ark Ranger Black banner period.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costume content includes new and returning outfits. Moran \u2013 King of Flowers headlines the Costume Gacha and features full voiceover, a Burst Skill cutscene and special animations. E.H. \u2013 Junkyard Vanguard will be obtainable through the JUNKYARD PASS, and Naga \u2013 Ring Ensemble is scheduled for the July Mission Pass. Returning costumes Sugar \u2013 Wild Backyard and Leona \u2013 Zoo Keeper will be available in the Cash Shop for a limited time.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ARK RANGER story event is fully voiced and follows Ark Ranger Black as she acts outside her television persona to protect civilians. The event features a large exploration map, collectible Lost Relics with an exchange shop, a two-part story with STORY I available at launch and STORY II unlocking later, a dedicated Challenge Stage and a special story animation.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New gameplay additions include the mini-game FIGHT! ARK RANGER!, a vertical defense-style mode where players arrange weapons to fend off waves of Raptures. The update adds the archive entry BOOM! THE GHOST! and a 14-day login event titled ARK RANGER THE MOVIE: COMING SOON, which awards Advanced Recruit Vouchers and development materials over the event period.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Special Recruit banner, Limited Select Recruit window, costume releases and event phases are scheduled to run across the summer season as announced with the update.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goddess of Victory: NIKKE adds SSR Ark Ranger Black via Special Recruit, reruns summer Nikkes, and launches a fully voiced ARK RANGER story
