Setting up Arknights (CN) on Android outside of China

Submit Feedback or Error

Overview

One should use both a PC and their Phone at the same time for smoothest setup.

Step 1: Download the game

The latest version is the following link 

You can do one of the following.

  1. Download on PC, Move it to your Android Device, and run it to install via an APK Installer Application
  2. Straight up download the file on your phone, click and install.

To confirm that you did the right thing, make sure the application has the following Icon:

P.S. This game won’t show up in your game launcher folder, but show like a newest application installment.

Step 2: Registering an Account

You should be on a PC right now and visit the bilibili website .

Mail registration has been closed, one must use their phone number, dw it’s safe.

At any point, if the website stops responding please refresh page, I had to type my info down 3 times before I could go through it…. That’s [Made in China] for you.

  1. Unique Name - A name that only you can use, duplicates not allowed
  2. Password - it must be a strong one and you MUST GET GREEN LIGHT

My password included the following to achieve green light

  • Symbol
  • Capitalized Letters
  • Lower Case Letters
  • Numbers
  1. Country - Please use Google Translate English to Chinese and type your Country, and then click the dropdown menu above and find the same symbols, it’s a bit of detective work.  P.S. the moment you find it, try to memorize where in the bracket it is located, incase you need to refill information 3 times like I did.
  2. Phone Number - Type your Phone Number. ((not all countries can receive SMS from Bilibili, notably Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European countries). I used a Polish phone number. There are reports that just renting a phone number to get an SMS on it is a viable option as well if your personal phone number can not receive the SMS codes.)
  3. Spam  “Send Code Button” every 1min.  I received a text on my 2nd click.  P.S. You can’t send code if you don’t have a Green Light Password.
  4. Type Verification Code
  5. Agree to Terms
  6. You can now finalize your account
  7. The site will then lead to various other things but you can just close it now.

Step 3: Login to the Game

Now that you have your account, it’s time to boot the game, you will be granted the following widget/popup:

In this case all you need to do is type the following

  • Phone Number, do not add country code
  • Your Green Light Password

Step 4: Final Verification

Do you need to do verification the legit way?  Here's How:

It has bee reported that the old way of using BILIBILI support email: [email protected] no longer works.  the new way is by filling out the form at this link (Use Google Translate). You will also need your Bilibili UID (found in your profile at https://game.bilibili.com/ in the bottom right corner, Google translates it to B station ID in the form), your Bilibili username, phone number, mail. As for the ID, you need to send photos of your ID from both sides, as well as a selfie of you holding the ID. Submit the form, as far as I know, the rest is the same as before, you just have to wait.

The following is the way you used to Compose your email, it may help filling out the form.
