What is Contingency Contract? - Guide for New Players of Arknights

[@kukkikaze]

I've been told that my videos have been soft lately, have they been? Let me know and I'll ensure to toggle it in future videos!

can you farm the red bounty things for shop?

[@argene652]

@@abyssenjoyer yes but it's not really worth farming unless you really need upgrade materials or you wanna get the red certificate operator All materials in AK is almost farmable(even originium) just look in inventory then click the item then you'll see the stages where it's farmed

This guide is a game changer for me. Relatively new player. No E2 operators yet. Tried CC, super confused, got wrecked, never came back. Now I understand the interface much better and will start collecting bounties regularly trying EZ mode first.

[@sariahaver3493]

as someone who first experienced cc on cc cinder where i can't even get past risk 3 on the permanent map, i'm so relieved this one is way easier & finally can clear risk18... happy tears

[@wethermon]

Those last advices are really important imo. A lot of newbies forget this should be fun, kinda glad the person who was (still is, even if I eventually caught up to him) my gateway to the game always made me feel nice when I couldn't clear my first risk 18 CCs, he pushed me to build a strong core team and I'm glad for that. As for the medals they are nice to have but pretty much "flex", I actually value more the little medals they give us for clearing some chapter maps, those are cute. Also imo newbies should try various guides to clear ccs, sometimes you can make your own strat by viewing guides.

[@FishSlapper-sk8pj]

Very true. Don't feel ashamed just because you watch guides. Just make sure you learn the tactics and mechanics. Soon enough, you will be the one making guides, who knows.

[@unknownuser-vm9jm]

This will be a lot of help for beginners who wants to try and practice on CC👌

Abandoned Mine is the very first accomplishment ever since starting playing this game at Risk 18. Took me so many tries of team combinations.

[@Ushisim]

I play warframe, and one of my favorite content creators, brozime, talks about how opening the mod menu in it is a player killing screen. Opening the contingency contract for me was a fucking MURDER screen, thanks for the guide

[@fuhu2770]

as someone who just started the game a few weeks ago, this video was really helpful 🙌 it's quite assuring to hear that i don't have to go all the way to risk 18 as a newbie

[@patroka]

Note that you still get the medal so long as you reach at least risk 16 at any point; getting risk 18 week 1 is only for the medal’s trim.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

As a new player… huge thank you for this and all your content. In love with the game because of its complexity, learning all this stuff is so fun.

[@Slatymyns]

As this is my first CC thanks dude

[@baduser103]

High risk cc is some of the hardest content in the game so if you can’t hit risk 18, don’t beat yourself up over it. Shop items you can’t farm from story or supplies stages stay in the shop permanently and there will always be another cc season for you to farm bounties for them.

[@scorched1864]

the shop rotates right cause i member when CC first came to global there was that nice siege skin and its not there anymore

[@baduser103]

@@scorched1864 it doesn’t rotate, just new things get added to it. The siege skin is the only exception and it’s being brought back in cc#7

[@Xerin21]

Thanks for this video, I just started 3 weeks ago and seeing this in game was a lot to take in. Thanks for the breakdown and I appreciate the tip on not being afraid to spend bounty on operators.

[@xdarin_]

I spent at least 65 of my real life sanity on beating my first CC, but GOD did I feel smart after that.

[@g405t]

Must read for beginners for training grounds, you have level 1, level 2, level 3. Once you beat level 1 with the green support tab/box checked on, you need to uncheck the support green tab box, then select contingency level stuff to raise the contingency level. If you have the green support box checked on the contingency level will remain zero "0" I played for weeks not understanding why i can't level up contingency level......I thought I needed to wait for the contingency event to raise the level..........

[@tronghieudoan97]

When it comes to skip one or two dailies, my first thought is east armory lmfao

[@kukkikaze]

Haha, I missed the one before that, which was Transport Hub, it was unfortunate, I was too busy at my actual job to play the stage.

[@charginginprogresss]

Imagine skipping east armory and doing windswept highland lmfao

[@carlosteixeira3688]

Nice video.

[@lincoln34343]

ty for this vid ucky this helps me understanding cc i found this vid from ur cc#5 vid tip

[@yuzukisasaki9319]

Myrtle is the best and most used in Contingency Contracts, also Surtr, if you have her then it will make it much easier, and must prepare a Ver good strategy to reach risk 18 or if ever can reach risk 20+.

[@prometheus1815]

Regarding the medals, you must Tuye from shop you must buy her before this CC is over. Also risk 16 is the minimum for getting the permanent map medal, however the tinted one must be risk 18 and done within week 1. And lastly the daily stage medal needs a minimum of 10 risk 8 clears of of the daily map. This is just from my memory so correct me if Im wrong

[@yuyuma1013]

risk 16 should be enough for the medal..

[@kukkikaze]

Risk 16, iirc, I didn't overly elaborate on medals because I personally do not think it's a major priority to players, and at the same time, players can navigate that menu on their own to see the requirements. It is a priority if you care about them, which for me, I try my best to make time to get them all.

[@passxz]

You can't get the medal for buying Tuye after CC#4 ends. The medal explicitly states: " *During Operation Lead Seal* , obtain Operator Tuye " gotta get that full medal set

[@prometheus1815]

Thanks for the corrections, Please excuse my goldfish memory

[@kukkikaze]

@@prometheus1815 I have peebrain memory too, wow, we're related

[@vashspecter]

Ended up getting 22 of the yellow triangles but idk if I ever got the mats this past #7 CC. How can I tell? I don’t ever remember opening the boxes for them.

[@skadoosh3253]

So what should the general levels of your units be in order to beat at least risk 5-6?

[@kukkikaze]

At least own one E2 operator of your choice (to let you borrow support units from friends, which can make it very easy to play not just Risk 5, but everything higher as well), and E1's of the various classes and archetypes, no need to be maxed out, just like level 40 or 50 will be sufficient. Always Skill Rank 7 your operators, skills are more important than their levels. I don't think it comes down to the level or how much you build too. The level can feel limiting, but as a player, it's up to you to think with the squad you own. The beauty of the game is that strategies in this game are never strict, always fluid. I could surprise you to say that in Week 2 of this CC Lead Seal, CN players even did Risk 18 with E0 Level 1 on their entire squad, but that's simply because they worked very hard or thought very hard to make it happen.

[@argene652]

risk 10 below is quite easy. But you do need atleast 1 unit to deal lots of dps for the boss mob. so atleast 1 e2 I guess?

[@skadoosh3253]

Alright, I was about to e2 my first operator

[@STREEEEEET]

If you spend the yellow triangle unlocking new contracts does that mean you'll have less to trade for T3 materials in the end ?

[@billnguyen5875]

do you think Arknights would do CC reruns because I miss some of the medals from the other CC events.

[@kukkikaze]

No, when CC first started they explicitly stated they will never rerun them and only make new seasons

[@reginaldmustardbacon5866]

Ty for the video very helpful

[@JamzSlime]

does it reset daily and can we still get the CC bounty even though we already cleared the stage once?

"take it easy" *sweats nervously*

[@FrobeRios]

Is there a guide for every single risk level? I’m relatively new and barely played without guides so far so I’m buns

[@kukkikaze]

More often there isn't, if you watch guides it's for yourself to adapt to what you have. However, in future CC's there's a good chance I'm changing my style a bit, and doing in-depth explanations of the stages, so people can think about how to clear it for themselves.

[@FishSlapper-sk8pj]

@@sibericusthefrosty9950 that's just an introduction. If you want a story, here you go. Contingency Contracts are for experienced Catastrophe Messengers to complete. Since each of these contracts are dangerous and messengers put their lives on the line just to deliver intels or important items, each time they succeed in completing it, they are awarded with medals (like the in-game medals you get for every risks applied). Besides, they are rewarded heavily for their courage and hardwork (the contingency bounty we got to exchange resources). If you are asking whether there are any lores or stories in each Contingency Contracts, then there's none.
