Best Highguard graphics settings for no lag and max FPS

Highguard is now out globally, and you can tweak the graphics on your PC to get the best possible results during a match.

There appear to be plenty of settings you can tweak, albeit a few missing ones. Running the optimum sliders will help you get the best possible results and prevent any lag. The latter can be hugely problematic given the competitive nature of Highguard.

You can change the graphics in Highguard after loading into the main menu. You can change the settings even before you complete the tutorial. With several players reporting instabilities, I will recommend tweaking your settings before you start playing a round.

For better context, this is my current setup: 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, AMD 5600G, and 12 GB Nvidia RTX 3060.

Resolution: 1920×1080 for me. This is based on your setup

V-Sync: Off

Max FPS: 60

Field of View: 90

Brightness: Personal preference

Global quality: Custom

Internal Resolution: 50%

Anti-aliasing Mode: DLSS

Shadow Quality: Low

Global Illumination Quality: Medium

Reflection Quality: Low

Anti-aliasing Quality: Medium

Texture Quality: Low

Effects Quality: Low

Post-Processing Quality: Medium

Foliage Quality: Low

Shading Quality: Medium

A couple of notes to keep in mind.

Unless you have a rig that’s significantly above the recommended settings, I will keep the FPS capped to 60. While my machine was running 120 FPS smoothly, I encountered crashes. Keeping it at 60 appears to keep it stable.

There’s no reason to turn on V-Sync. What you lose as a tradeoff is insignificant. The focus should be on getting the smoothest gameplay in Highguard to get an edge over your opponents. Enabling V-Sync will also make your system to consume more resources, and this can also cause lags/stuttering.

Blueprints form the backbone of your AIC factories in Arknights Endfield, and you’ll be able to create plenty on your adventures. However, you can also take advantage of community creations by importing and using their designs.

In simple words, Blueprints refer to production chain designs that can be used at your AIC base. It includes every detail of a production chain and prevents you from having to recreate everything from scratch.

Best factory Blueprint codes in Arknights Endfield

Thanks to the social media community, we already have a fair number of codes popping up on social media. Personally, I have loved using them, and will add more codes in the days to come. You can not only use these designs, but you can also tweak them to add your personal touch as required.

Most of these codes are working EU/NA. However, the codes with user names in brackets are meant for the SEA servers.

How to create Blueprints in Arknights Endfield

Before you get to import and use Blueprints made by others, it’s necessary to create one of your own.

Enter the AIC Mode and open the Top View.
Select Bulk Action, and then choose the portion of the design that you want to save as a Blueprint. This can be your entire design, or only a part.
Once you have confirmed the selection, press Ctrl+S to save your Blueprint.

You can add your own names and descriptions to your Blueprints. You can also add icons and tags to categorize and identify them more easily in the future.

How to import Blueprints in Arknights Endfield

Creating your own Blueprint might be fun, but you can also use designs created by other Arknights Endfield players. This will allow you to harness the advantages of an efficient base design that might not have popped up in your brain.

To import Blueprints, you’re going to need codes. Every Blueprint has a unique alphanumeric string like the ones posted in the next section. First, copy the code from outside the game.
Go to your Core AIC (or Outposts).
Enter Top View by pressing Q/R3 (if you’re using a controller).
Press F1 to open the Blueprint menu.
Switch to the Shared Blueprints tab, which will allow you to paste the copied code.

You can also visit another player’s base in Arknights Endfield, and directly copy a Blueprint (it automatically copies the applicable alphanumeric string).
