<h2 PayPal Payment Flaw in Arknights: Endfield Gets Flat-Footed
Hypergryph has confirmed a serious money issue in Arknights: Endfield that hit PayPal users. Over the last week, players saw extra charges after a single purchase. An internal review found a fault in the payment flow that sent duplicate requests. About 1,800 players worldwide were touched, with 3,429 unauthorized transactions totaling around $80,000. In one case, a player faced a bill of $5,289.
<h2 Honest refunds and a fair fix
The studio says refunds have already been sent for every case found since the glitch began. In a move praised by players, Hypergryph won’t take back any in-game items bought during the error. That means players get back their money in full and keep the premium currency or items gained during the hiccup as a gesture of goodwill.
<h2 Security upgrades and a pause on PayPal
As a safety step, PayPal payments are off on both the main launcher and the top-up site topup.gryphline.com/endfield. The error has been fixed, but Hypergryph and its publisher Gryphline are running extra tests to ensure the fix holds. The team has overhauled the order check process and added tougher security for third-party payment links. Players should use other payment methods for now while the system is tightened up.
<h2 What players should know now
For those on Android and iOS, stay alert to any new charges on your statements. If you see a charge that isn’t yours, contact support right away. Check that you have received the refunds and that any items or currency from the glitch remain in your account. Keep an eye on your PayPal history even after the fix goes live. The goal is to keep players safe while the team confirms the long-term payment flow is solid.
