Arknights: Endfield is preparing a new wave of long-term optimizations based on in-game data and player feedback. Most of these changes are scheduled to be implemented within the next two versions.


While the update list is extensive, three improvements stand out immediately: increased early-game Headhunting resources, Mini-Map support during Zipline traversal, and remote one-click collection for the Resource Recycling Station.




Headhunting Resource Boost: More Early-Game Recruitment Opportunities


Early progression is receiving important adjustments.


To address limited pull access in the early stages, the development team will:

  • Add more acquisition channels for early Headhunting resources
  • Expand access to the Integrated Trade Quota
  • Optimize selected Action Manual missions


These changes aim to smooth early roster building and reduce progression pressure for new players.


Material stages are also optimized — squads can now enter material stages at full HP, removing unnecessary pre-battle recovery friction.

Exploration Upgrade: Mini-Map Now Visible While Using Ziplines


Exploration clarity is being significantly improved.


Players will now see a Mini-Map while using Ziplines, improving spatial awareness during traversal. In addition:

  • Overlook Mode gains an increased maximum visible range
  • PC players can exit Overlook Mode using the Esc key


The Zipline Mini-Map addition is one of the most noticeable quality-of-life upgrades, making vertical movement far more intuitive.

Remote Resource Recycling Station: One-Click Collection


Base management becomes more efficient with remote collection support.


Under certain conditions, the Resource Recycling Station can now be collected remotely with one click — reducing repetitive manual interactions.


Further base-related improvements include:

  • Quick collection and auto-production scheduling in the Dijiang cabin
  • Quick clue collection and auto-placement in the Dijiang Reception Room
  • Reduced red-dot notification frequency
  • Mail temporary storage for precious collectibles


For efficiency-focused players, this update significantly reduces routine management time.

Additional System & Combat Optimizations


Several other refinements are also confirmed:

  • Improved Shared Device management and UI clarity
  • Clearer distinction between self-built and shared Ziplines
  • Manufacturing available outside the Integrated Core area
  • Enhanced Simulation Space completion display with new related Etched Badges
  • Clearer enemy attack indicators
  • Improved squad auto-pickup and movement behavior
  • Adjusted disengagement logic


Together, these changes improve system clarity, combat flow, and overall usability.




A Clear Quality-of-Life Direction


Although the optimization list is extensive, the core focus is clear:

  1. More accessible early Headhunting resources
  2. Stronger exploration guidance through Zipline Mini-Map support
  3. Faster base management via remote collection


Rather than changing core mechanics, this update strengthens progression pacing, exploration clarity, and operational efficiency — signaling a long-term commitment to refining the Arknights: Endfield experience.
