Depot Nodes in Arknights: Endfield are one of those systems that look simple at first, until you realize the game barely explains how to get the most out of them.
Once you unlock your first depot and start doing deliveries, you might think you just need to grab the goods and deliver them yourself. But players discovered that transferring the job to your friends is often way better.
How to Transfer a Depot Delivery
Depot Node deliveries can be a bit confusing at first, especially when it comes to deciding if you want to handle them yourself or send them to friends. The game does not really tell you how you can transfer those, and unless you check carefully on the mission, you will not see the option directly on the Depot. The good news is that transferring your delivery missions is really not that hard once you know how it works!
First, you want to unlock and level up your depot. You need at least the first depot unlocked and leveled to access delivery missions. You can find multiple depots on the map. Each of them allows you to pick one Delivery per day. Do not worry, you do not need to go to each depot, you can accept all of them at the same spot.
Once you have access, here is what you want to do:
- Pick your delivery mission.
- Pack the goods. Prepare the items required for the delivery.
- Select the delivery location. Some NPCs are closer than others, keep that in mind since it can save time.
- Validate the delivery. After that, be careful. It will close the Depot menu and put you outside. You have to interact with the Depot again.
- Choose your method:
- Deliver it yourself: You can pick up the goods and go, but teleporting or fighting along the way can damage your items, meaning less money at the end. DO NOT select “pick the package” if you want to transfer the delivery.
- Transfer the job: Instead of picking up the package, open the depot or your Missions, check the delivery mission, and select “transfer the job.”
The mission appears in your friends’ in-game list, and anyone can complete it.
Keep also in mind that higher-level depots increase how much you and your friends earn because you can pack more goods, and this allows you to get paid more. If you complete one of your friend’s deliveries, you will also receive some Stock Bills, so it is worth completing a few from others as well.
Why Transferring Is Usually Better
- You avoid losing money from damaged goods.
- You often get more rewards when a friend completes it.
- Both you and your friends are rewarded for it.
Make sure you have enough friends in your list. If no one picks up the delivery after a few days, the mission completes automatically, but you will only get half the payment.
Overall, Depot Node deliveries are one of those systems that reward you way more if you use them correctly. Transferring deliveries to friends saves time, avoids penalties, and usually rewards you better on both sides. As long as you keep an active friend list, there is very little downside to doing it this way.
If you make it a daily habit alongside your other Endfield routines, Depot deliveries become easy passive income rather than a chore. It is a small optimization, but over time, it adds up more than you might expect.
