Arknights Endfield Settings and Battery Optimization Tips for Mobile Players

Mobile players can keep Arknights: Endfield smooth and protect battery life by capping FPS, lowering a few heavy graphics options, and cutting background drain. The game is decently optimized on modern phones, but high settings and long sessions still cause noticeable heat and battery loss.

Recommended In-Game Settings (Mobile)

Use these as a baseline, then tweak based on how hot your phone gets.

• Frame rate:
  • 60 FPS on modern mid‑range/flagship devices for smooth play; drop to 30 FPS on older/budget phones to dramatically cut GPU load and battery drain.
• Graphics preset:
  • Medium by default; only use High on strong SoCs (recent Snapdragon 8‑series, A16/A17) with good cooling.
• Resolution / render scale:
  • Keep at 80–100%; if big fights stutter or the phone heats up quickly, lower the scale slightly (e.g., to 0.8–0.9) for a large fluidity boost.
• Heavy settings to reduce:
  • Shadows & shadow distance → Low/Medium (huge performance and heat gains).
  • Effects/particles → Medium; drop to Low if large battles hitch.​
  • Post‑processing (motion blur, bloom, depth of field) → Off or Low to reduce clutter and cut extra GPU work.

Prioritize a stable 30–60 FPS at Medium over maxed visuals; this keeps combat responsive without hammering your battery.

Phone and System Tweaks

Small OS-level changes add up if you play daily.

• Close background apps and services:
  • Shut down apps syncing data, streaming, or using GPS before starting; this lowers CPU load and heat.​
• Lower screen brightness:
  • The display is a big power draw; dropping brightness noticeably reduces battery drain and temperatures.​
• Use Wi‑Fi and Game Mode:
  • Prefer Wi‑Fi over mobile data and enable your phone’s Game Mode / Game Booster to limit background processes.​
• Remove thick cases if very hot:
  • Let the phone breathe; cases trap heat and worsen throttling.

Together, these can significantly extend session length at the same graphics level.

Thermal and Battery Management Habits

Even with good settings, habits matter for long-term battery health.

• Take short breaks:
  • Pause every 30–60 minutes so the phone cools; this reduces thermal buildup and slows battery wear.
• Avoid playing while charging:
  • Charging plus heavy 3D load spikes temperature and accelerates battery aging; use shorter untethered sessions instead.​
• Consider external cooling:
  • Clip‑on fans or small cooling pads can help during long farming or exploration sessions on hotter devices.​

Guides emphasize that keeping device temperatures moderate is key both for stable FPS and for preserving battery health over months of Endfield sessions.
