Arknights Endfield Best Settings on PC and Mobile for Smooth Performance

Arknights: Endfield is well optimized, but using the right settings on PC and mobile helps keep combat responsive and exploration smooth even on mid‑range hardware. The goal is a stable frame rate first, then visuals.

Best PC Settings for Smooth Play

On PC, target a locked 60 FPS on mid‑range rigs and only push 90–120+ FPS if your CPU/GPU comfortably handle it. Review sites report Very High settings at 60 FPS running fine on modern mid‑high builds.

Recommended baseline (1080p / 60 FPS target):

• Resolution: 1920×1080 (or native) with Fullscreen or Borderless; drop to 900p/720p if you see stutter.
• Frame rate cap: 60 FPS on mid‑range, 90–120 FPS only if usage and temps stay reasonable.
• Overall preset: Medium or High; switch to Low/Medium if CPU or GPU sits near 100%.
• Textures: Medium–High (VRAM heavy; lower if on 4 GB GPUs like GTX 1060/RX 580).
• Shadows & shadow distance: Low or Medium; big FPS gain on weaker GPUs.​
• Effects/particles: Medium; drop to Low if large fights hitch.
• Post‑processing (motion blur, depth of field, bloom): Off or Low to cut input latency and visual clutter.​
• Ambient occlusion/reflections/ray tracing: Low or Off; these are expensive and not needed for clarity.
• V‑Sync: Off if using a frame cap and you do not see tearing; On if tearing bothers you.​

Best Mobile Settings (iOS & Android)

Mobile tests show Endfield running smoothly on recent flagship phones at Medium settings and 60 FPS, but thermals and battery life are key. Prioritize stability over max graphics, especially during long sessions.​

Recommended baseline (modern mid‑range or flagship):

• Frame rate: 60 FPS cap if your phone can sustain it without overheating; drop to 30 FPS on older or budget devices.​
• Graphics preset: Medium as default; High only on powerful SoCs (A16/17, Snapdragon 8‑series) with good cooling.​​
• Resolution / render scale: Default or 80–100%; reduce slightly if you notice drops in large fights.​​
• Shadows & effects: Medium or Low to keep temps down during extended play.
• Post‑processing (motion blur, bloom, depth of field): Off to reduce eye strain and heat.​
• Vibration & extra feedback: Optional; disabling can marginally save battery, but many players like the tactile feedback.​​

Network and Lag Optimization

If you feel “laggy” despite decent FPS, the issue is likely network latency rather than graphics settings.

• Use a stable Wi‑Fi or wired (PC) connection instead of congested mobile data when possible.
• Close high‑bandwidth background apps and overlays to avoid packet loss and spikes.
• If you still get rubber‑banding or high ping on good hardware, consider a route‑optimizing tool like LagoFast, which can shorten paths to the game servers and stabilize ping.
