Punishing: Gray Raven (play free on PC now) has an affection system that will let you in on some of the characters' darkest secrets, among other things. It won't give you any real buffs, but allows you to become closer with your squad of Constructs and unlock secrets, additional info, new story chapters, and voice files. While the game does a decent job of telling you who likes what the best, it's not entirely clear at times. We don't want you regretting handing over someone's favorite gift instead of saving it for the best character, so check out our Punishing Gray Raven character gift guide and play it safe with the affection ranks.
How to Get Punishing Gray Raven Gifts

The first thing that you should know is how to access the character affection screen, because it's not entirely obvious. In the main screen, tap your Construct and a small menu will appear, with the options to swap character, choose coating (outfit system), and Mingle.
Mingle is the affection option, so tap on that and examine the next screen. To the right you have File, Story, and Gifts, and it will be this last tab that matters the most. This screen displays the gift items that you have stored in your inventory, and their only use is to offer them to your characters. Gifts increase Construct's affection level, thus unlocking the extras that we've mentioned above.
You get various types of gifts from the Dorm feature. The Dorm is unlocked after you complete battle 4-2, and it is the little housing system that fans of Honkai Impact 3rd are surely familiar with. To earn different gift tiers, which include Normal Gift Box, Precious Gift Box, and Fine Gift Box items you must complete dormitory events and claim the rewards.
Check the event bubbles that appear over the Constructs' heads and satisfy their requests in order to complete the various missions. From patting a character (which looks more like scrubbing, to be honest) to placing a character on a sofa or bed, there are several demands that need to be fulfilled. Completing daily missions will reward you with the gift boxes, and when you see a character with a triangle over their heads it's a sign that they may have a gift for you – it could be a decor coin, but also a gift box.
There's just one more step to go before giving the presents to your Constructs and raising their affection levels. Head over to your inventory (Items Manage), choose the Material tab, and use every gift box that you find in there. The gifts are random, so you're in for a surprise each time.
Punishing Gray Raven Character Gift Guide | Best Gifts for Each Construct
After unwrapping the gifts, it's time to see the selection that you have in store. From portable consoles to prototype engines, there's a fair bit of diversity, with some gifts aimed at some characters, and other gifts that are less specific. Still, you can offer a gift to anyone you like, but the affection points may suffer in comparison.
You can swap your target Construct by tapping the button on the bottom left corner. If you have a favorite gift for the current character, it will display a little heart above the correspondent gift.
