How to Get Orundum in Arknights (Free & Fast)

Q: How much Orundum does Paradox Simulation give?

Clearing an operator's **Paradox Simulation** for the first time gives 200 Orundum for that operator. It is a one-time reward per operator and does not repeat, so it is not part of your recurring monthly income.

Orundum is the recruitment currency in Arknights — one headhunting pull costs 600 Orundum, and a 10-pull costs 6,000. Orundum earned for free and Orundum bought with real money go into the same wallet and are used together when you pull.

There is no way to convert another resource directly into large amounts of Orundum, so everything below is either earned in-game for free or bought directly. There is currently no confirmed recurring redeem-code system that reliably grants Orundum, so codes are not listed as a source.

Daily & weekly (recurring)

Daily missions — About 100 Orundum per day for completing your daily tasks — roughly 3,000 Orundum per month.
Weekly missions — About 500 Orundum per week for completing your weekly tasks — roughly 2,150 Orundum per month.

Endgame (recurring)

Annihilation — A weekly endgame mode (its cap unlocks after a few early achievements). At the full weekly cap it gives about 1,800 Orundum per week — roughly 7,740 Orundum per month.

Events (variable)

Story & side events — Clearing an event's stages and side missions gives extra Orundum, but there is no fixed, confirmed figure — the amount depends entirely on the specific event and how much of it you clear. Treat this as a bonus on top of your daily/weekly/Annihilation income, not a guaranteed number.

One-time (great for new accounts)

**Paradox Simulation** — Clearing an operator's Paradox Simulation for the first time grants 200 Orundum per operator. This is a one-time reward per operator, not repeatable.
Main story & early achievements — First-clear stage rewards and account progression achievements add a meaningful amount of Orundum on a new account, but do not repeat.

Paid (for context)

**Card of Fortitude** — A ~$4.99 monthly pass: 200 Orundum per day for 30 days (6,000 total), plus 6 Originite Prime (worth about 1,080 Orundum) when you activate it — roughly 7,080 Orundum per month combined. This is a purchase, not free income.
