Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night is the workshop activity returning with The Masses’ Travels rerun in November 2026. It lets you accept workshop orders using Espresso and collect rewards such as Firearms Workshop Giftboxes, LMD and Battle Records. There’s an important change from the original run: the daily Espresso allowance is higher.
The 2026 rerun gives you six cups of Espresso every day, rather than the two listed for the original 2025 event. Each accepted order costs one cup. Here’s how that resource works, when it resets worldwide and why it should not be confused with the currency used in the main event shop.
How Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night works
The workshop is part of the The Masses’ Travels rerun, beginning on 5 November 2026 at 08:00 UTC-7, or 15:00 UTC. You must clear Main Storyline 1-10 to access the rerun itself. Open the gunsmithy activity from the event interface and look at the available workshop orders.
Accepting an order in Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night uses one Espresso. Once accepted, complete the order’s displayed requirements to earn its listed rewards. Choose an order in the workshop and complete the objective shown on its card. The task is what earns the reward; accepting the order alone is not enough.
The rewards include Firearms Workshop Giftboxes, LMD and Battle Records. A Giftbox awards a random upgrade material from the specified selection. You do not pick an exact material simply by opening the box, and the event notice doesn’t give a list of probability percentages.
Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night Espresso reset time
The gunsmithy coffee pot brews six Espresso every day at 04:00 UTC-7. That is 11:00 UTC, or 11:00 GMT for the UK in November. The same daily reset is at 06:00 Eastern Standard Time and 20:00 Japan Standard Time.
| Region / timezone | Daily Espresso brew |
|---|---|
| Arknights server (UTC-7) | 04:00 |
| UTC / GMT | 11:00 |
| US Eastern (EST) | 06:00 |
| Central Europe (CET) | 12:00 |
| Japan (JST) | 20:00 |
| Australia Eastern (AEDT) | 22:00 |
You’ll also receive six Espresso immediately when you first unlock the gunsmithy. That’s separate from the regular daily brew. Use the daily supply while you’re playing rather than assuming that Espresso will keep accumulating without a limit.
If you played the original event, be careful with old walkthroughs: Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night now grants six daily Espresso in the 2026 rerun. The earlier 2025 notice described a different daily amount. Use the current rerun instructions and your live resource display.
How to complete Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night orders
Enter the workshop, check an available order, accept it using a cup of Espresso and complete the requirement shown by the game. Collect the reward after completing the task, then check whether you have enough Espresso for another order. Return after the daily brew if you need more.
Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night rewards come from completing orders, not simply holding Espresso. Check the objective and reward for each order before spending Espresso. Prioritise orders you can finish with the time and resources you have available.
Is Espresso the same as Enlightened Pacifier?
No. Espresso is for the workshop orders. Enlightened Pacifier is the separate event currency used in Sweet Dream Hall, earned through The Masses’ Travels stages and Babysitting Criteria missions. The shop sells Sankta Miksaparato tokens, Headhunting Permits and other supplies.
For Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night, remember that an order consumes Espresso, not Enlightened Pacifier. If you’re trying to unlock the free six-star Operator instead, use our Sankta Miksaparato reward guide to find the correct mission and shop routes.
How long is the workshop available?
The activity forms part of the November rerun, which runs from 5 November at 15:00 UTC to 19 November at 10:59 UTC. The three main combat stage groups close earlier on 15 November at 10:59 UTC. Check the workshop’s in-game timer for its own closing time. The earlier 15 November cutoff applies to the named combat stage groups, while Sweet Dream Hall stays open until 19 November.
If you want to make use of Arknights A Firearm Technician’s Night, visit regularly during the event and use your daily Espresso on orders you can complete. Our The Masses’ Travels rerun guide covers the full stage, shop and medal deadlines.
