What is the drop rate for units?

Updated May 14, 2025

If you're curious about the odds of getting a certain unit from a beacon, you can check the drop rate in-game. To view the drop rates, go to the 'Recruitment' window, then press the 'i' icon in the top-right corner. This will give you detailed information on the drop rate of each unit rarity available in the game. Here's a breakdown of the drop rates for each type of beacon:

Currency=Beacon, Rarity=Uncommon, Unit Type=Default, Tier=Default, State=Default, Equipment Type=Hull.png Public beacon

                  Common: 60%

                  Uncommon: 38%

                  Rare: 2%

                Rare: 89%

                Epic: 10%

                Legendary: 1%

ContractBeacon_Epic_2023 (1).png Expert Beacon

               Epic: 90%

               Legendary: 10%

ContractBeacon_Legendary_2023 (1).png Elite Beacon

               Legendary: 100%

When recruiting with a Specialist Beacon, you are guaranteed to obtain a Legendary unit on your 101st recruitment.

Starting from your 80th recruit, a pity counter will appear, allowing you to track how many more recruits are needed to reach the guaranteed Legendary.

Note: The counter will reset if a Legendary unit is obtained before the 101st pull through direct recruitment. Only direct recruitment using a Specialist Beacon counts toward the pity counter. The counter will not reset if a Legendary is acquired by any other means.
