Deployment Point

Deployment Point (DP) is a numeric value used to deploy Operators, summons, and deployable devices in Arknights. For further information about DP costs, see Attribute/Cost.
DP is automatically generated at a rate of 1 DP per second; however, some operations restrict DP generation by slowing or even disabling it completely. The automatic DP generation is disabled in Annihilation operations.
Players start an operation with certain amounts of DP, though some have zero. The maximum amount of DP the player can have in an operation is capped at 99, but there are some exceptions to this:
- Annihilation operations, including MO ones on certain Intermezzi/Side Stories, have a DP cap of 999.
- Episode 12 operations have a DP cap of only 20, or 15 in certain operations, which can be raised by the methods detailed in the Interactions section below.
Generation[edit]
- Pioneer, Tactician, Agent, Strategist, and Standard Bearer Vanguards generate DP through their skills, with Standard Bearers having the highest rate. Due to their numbers, those will not be listed in the table below.
- Chargers generate 1 DP when defeating an enemy.

Interactions[edit]
Roadside Emergency Reserves increase the DP cap by 5 and generates 5 DP when destroyed.
Friendly[edit]
| Enemy | Interaction |
|---|---|
 |
Once identified and entered a Protection Objective, the DP cap is increased. Civilians increase the cap by 2, while Spies increase the cap by 5.

Hostile[edit]
| Enemy | Interaction |
|---|---|
  |
Their ranged attacks, only used while having ammunition, drains DP upon hitting a friendly unit. Operatives drain 2 DP, while Operative Leaders drain 3 DP.
|
  |
Drains 1 DP upon hitting an Operator in every third (Wasteland Robber)/second (Elite Wasteland Robber) attacks.
|
  |
When at least one Skulker is on the map, the automatic DP generation rate is reduced. Wasteland Skulkers reduce the rate by 25%, while Elite Wasteland Skulkers reduce the rate by 50%.
|
  |
Drains 3 DP upon hitting an Operator in every second attacks.
|
  |
Their area-of-effect attack drains 1 DP for every Operator affected.
|
  |
Each Disruptor on the map reduces the DP cap, which can stack without a limit (but cannot be reduced below 0); if the reduced DP cap would exceed the current DP when a Disruptor (Captain) spawns, DP will be drained based on the difference. Disruptors reduce the cap by 10, while Disruptor Captains reduce the cap by 15.
