Arknights Endfield How to Add, Manage, and Prune Your Friends List Effectively

Arknights: Endfield’s friend system is simple but has limits, so it’s worth adding people deliberately, pruning regularly, and using block tools when needed. Here’s how to set up and maintain a clean, useful friends list.

How to Add Friends

• Unlock the Friends feature
  • Complete the early Valley Reboot/reach about level 2 to unlock the Friends menu on the main screen.
• Find the Friends tab
  • Tap the menu icon (top-right) → Friends, or on PC use the Friends button next to the Regional Development icon.
• Send a request
  • Go to Add Friends.
  • Enter your friend’s UID or in-game name in the search box and confirm to send a request.​
• Share your own UID
  • Open your Profile (bottom-left portrait or left tab in Friends) and copy the UID using the copy icon, then paste it to friends, Discord, or Reddit megathreads.​

Once the other player accepts, they’re permanently added to your list until you remove or block them.​​

Managing Requests and Friend Caps

• Request behavior and limits
  • Incoming friend requests last indefinitely, but there’s a cap on how many you can hold; once you hit that limit, new requests can’t come in until you clear some.​
  • GameWith notes you can accept up to 20 pending friend requests at a time, so check the tab regularly.​
• Accepting and declining
  • In Friends → Friend List / Requests, you can accept or ignore requests; accept only people you recognize or that come from trusted channels (Discord, Reddit threads).
• Overall friend list size
  • A related Arknights post mentions friend caps around 200 accepted friends after expansions in the main game; Endfield is expected to use a similar scale, so your list can fill up fast.​

Periodically clearing old or inactive requests keeps you open to new, actually useful connections.

How to Prune and Clean Your Friends List

• Remove inactive or unknown players
  • Go to Menu → Friends, select a name, open their profile, and choose the option to remove/unfriend.​​
  • Prioritize keeping:
    • People you know personally.
    • Active players from your region or community.
• Use block instead of just remove when needed
  • From the same profile screen, hit Block if someone is harassing you or you never want to interact with them again.​
  • You can later go to the Block list (inside Friends) to unblock if you change your mind.​

Think of it as curating a “friends you actually want to see online” list rather than hoarding every UID.

Tips to Grow a Useful Friend Network

• Use community friend threads
  • The Endfield and Arknights subreddits run Friend Request Megathreads where players share UIDs; you can quickly fill your list with active people there.
• Tag or note who’s who (outside the game)
  • Keep a simple note (e.g., in a doc/Discord) matching UIDs to “Discord name / region / role” so you remember why you added them.
• Periodic pruning
  • Every few weeks, remove players who haven’t logged in for a long time or that you don’t recognize, then refill from up-to-date threads.

Using Friends → Add, Request, and Block thoughtfully gives you a clean, responsive list of people you actually play and chat with, instead of a cluttered pile of random UIDs.
