The Arknights and Rainbow Six Siege collaboration – dubbed Originium Dust – is finally coming to global servers, about five months since it was announced for its home server. Details have been provided via the official Twitter.

Collaboration outfits will be available for purchase from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7 to 1 September 2021, 03:59 UTC -7. Prices are as follows:

The Special Equipment Exhibition Room is the new furniture set available with the event, obtainable from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7 to 1 September 2021, 03:59 UTC -7.

The Walter Interior Sensations furniture set will be added as a Lucky Drop from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7. This will replace the Rhodes Island HR Office furniture drops.

Players will be able to redeem a free ID Reset Card to change their in-game nickname from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7 to 1 October 2021, 03:59 UTC -7. You’ll be able to purchase more at a later date. Note that changing your in-game nickname will also change the digits attached to your name.

Last but not least is the Defence Protocols game mode, running from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7 to 1 September 2021, 03:59 UTC -7. You can randomly match, invite or join another player in a co-op session across a variety of two-tiered maps. 2X speed will not be available in this mode, and watch out for ping.

The collaboration event can be considered a “true limited” one, as it’s too soon since its original CN run to tell if it’ll ever be rerun, so don’t miss out.
