What to know

The OMV Dijiang is one of the most important unlocks in Arknights Endfield. It serves as your permanent headquarters, production center, and progression hub throughout the entire game. Nearly every major system—base management, the AIC factory, operator assignments, and long-term upgrades—branches out from Dijiang.

This guide explains exactly where OMV Dijiang is, how you unlock it, what quests are required, and what becomes available once you gain access.

What OMV Dijiang actually is

OMV Dijiang is the orbital headquarters of Endfield Industries. From a gameplay perspective, it functions as your home base where all long-term systems converge. While exploration and combat happen on the surface of Talos-II, Dijiang is where planning, production, and progression occur.

Unlike traditional bases that exist on the map, Dijiang is stationed in orbit and accessed through menus and story transitions. Once unlocked, you can return to it freely at almost any point in the game.

OMV Dijiang location in Arknights Endfield

Lore-wise, OMV Dijiang remains in geostationary orbit above Talos-II. You never physically travel to its location on the map. Instead, access is granted through story events and hub navigation options.

After unlocking it, Dijiang becomes a selectable hub that you can enter to manage facilities, interact with Operators, and oversee production.

How to unlock OMV Dijiang in Arknights Endfield

Complete the prologue: Process: Cold Start

The single mandatory requirement to unlock OMV Dijiang is completing the opening main quest, Process: Cold Start.

This prologue introduces:

• The Endministrator
• Core controls and combat basics
• The narrative setup of Endfield Industries

At the end of this quest, the story transitions directly to OMV Dijiang. There are no alternate conditions, hidden triggers, or optional objectives involved.

Once the prologue ends, you wake up aboard Dijiang, and the ship is officially unlocked as your hub.

First arrival and guided introduction

Immediately after unlocking OMV Dijiang, the game begins the next main quest, Process: Awakening. This quest acts as a guided tutorial for the ship itself.

During this sequence, you are introduced to:

• The Control Nexus
• Cabin and facility spaces
• Operator living and management areas
• Navigation and interface basics

A key character, Perlica, walks you through these systems step by step. This ensures you understand the ship’s layout before being sent planetside.

When OMV Dijiang becomes fully usable

While you technically unlock Dijiang at the end of the prologue, its full functionality opens up gradually.

After completing the guided tour:

• You are deployed to Talos-II to begin surface exploration
• Additional systems on Dijiang unlock naturally as the story progresses
• Production, AIC, and cabin management expand over time

There is no point where access to Dijiang is revoked. Once unlocked, it remains your permanent base for the rest of the game.

OMV Dijiang requirements

Main story progression	Yes	Prologue completion only
Player level	No	No level gate
Side quests	No	Optional
Currency or items	No	Free unlock
Authority level	Not for unlock	Required later for upgrades

What you can do on OMV Dijiang

Once unlocked, OMV Dijiang becomes the backbone of your progression. From here, you can manage nearly every non-combat system in the game.

You gain access to:

• The AIC (Advanced Industry Complex) for automated production
• Growth Chambers and cabins that generate materials over time
• Operator assignments for production and bonuses
• The Control Nexus, which governs base upgrades
• Protocol and exchange-related systems
• Social and reception areas tied to progression features

As you advance, additional cabins and modules become available, making Dijiang more complex and more valuable.

How to use OMV Dijiang for better seeds

The Growth Chamber specifically requires access to Medium-sized empty cabins, which only become available after upgrading the Control Nexus beyond its initial levels.

Most mid- and late-game systems are locked behind Dijiang upgrades rather than character level alone. Advancing the main story, raising Authority Level, and completing key objectives all feed back into unlocking new functionality aboard the ship.

If you ever feel progression slowing down, returning to Dijiang to upgrade facilities or assign Operators more efficiently is often the solution.

Common misconceptions about unlocking Dijiang

A frequent misconception is that OMV Dijiang requires a specific level threshold or side quest. It does not. As long as you complete the prologue, the unlock is guaranteed.

Another misunderstanding is that Dijiang is optional. While exploration happens elsewhere, meaningful long-term progression without using Dijiang is effectively impossible.

OMV Dijiang is not just a base—it’s the structural core of Arknights: Endfield. Unlocking it happens naturally through the story, but mastering its systems determines how smoothly the rest of the game unfolds.

Once you step aboard, nearly every system you interact with will eventually lead back to Dijiang. Understanding when and how it unlocks helps you plan progression more confidently from the very start.
