Egg Heist
Egg Heist – branded in-game as Operation: Egg Heist – is one of Aniimo's headline competitive modes: a 3-player, real-time PvPvE format that launched in the January 29 (second closed beta) update. Your team drops into the Lost Isles to gather supplies, infiltrate a forbidden area, and race to seize the Giant Darkler Egg.

- PvPvE real-time
- Lost Isles arena
- Veteran Pathfinder unlock
How Operation: Egg Heist plays
A single run is a race against two other players and the environment alike. Access opens once you reach the Veteran Pathfinder level, then every match runs the same arc:
- 1
Drop into the Lost Isles
Three Pathfinders enter the arena in real time – you're competing against each other and the map's PvE threats.
- 2
Gather & infiltrate
Collect supplies across the isles, then breach the forbidden area where the prize is held.
- 3
Seize the Giant Darkler Egg
Compete to claim the Giant Darkler Egg – the object the whole mode is built around.
- 4
Evacuate by boat
Reach the boat and get out safely to bank what you carry. How that payout is shared is the mode's core twist – see the rules below.
The prize – the Giant Darkler Egg
Seizing the Giant Darkler Egg carries a chance to obtain a brand-new Aniimo in its Darkler form – the standout reward that gives the whole mode its pull. That single payoff is why teams take the risk of pushing deep before evacuating.
Climb the ranks
Every run scores toward a seasonal rank. Seven tiers stand between a fresh Egg Hunter and the apex – higher ranks drop richer reward boxes.

Rules that matter at the table
Runes are switched off
Rune effects on carried items are disabled inside Operation: Egg Heist – they still work in Team Mode, but here everyone competes on the same footing.
Official sourceEvacuation decides who keeps what
Submitted Aniimo Eggs are shared across the whole team only on a safe evacuation; a failed evac means you keep only your own. You can evac after one personal objective – submit a single egg, or collect Eggshell Coins.
Official sourceScaled up: Diamond Egg Heist
For the Global CBT, FunPlus is scaling the concept up into Diamond Egg Heist and making it the headline showpiece: up to six teams of three Pathfinders drop into one arena and race for a single prize – the diamond egg.
The win condition is the twist. The moment a player twines with the egg, the round flips from a free-for-all scramble into a defended escort: their two teammates protect the carrier and shepherd the egg to safety while the other five teams try to take it. It keeps Egg Heist's steal-and-escort core and pushes it into full team-versus-team competition.
Every detail on this page is confirmed from Aniimo's official channels and linked to its source. Egg Heist is a Closed-Beta feature and the Diamond Egg Heist scale-up arrives with the Summer 2026 Global CBT, so expect changes before global launch.
