Three new SSR NIKKEs were also added, but they wouldn't be available through the Recruit. They are instead obtainable via playing the new game mode Liberation.

New Game Mode – Liberation

This game mode unlocks after you clear Stage 5-20 in Campaign. It's accessible through the upper left corner of the Character page. Liberation mode allows you to select an exclusive NIKKE (currently between Sin, Quency, and Guilty) and progress towards obtaining them via the daily Liberation missions.

Without spending any Gems, obtaining a Liberation-exclusive NIKKE will take 60 days. If you're willing to spend 150 Gems a day, it will take 30 days instead.

New Chapters

Chapters 19 and 20 have been added to the Campaign Mode.
