Orbital Cargo Drone (OCD)

The Orbital Cargo Drone (OCD) is one of the most powerful and unique features offered exclusively by HWS. It allows you to store items securely in a virtual Cargo Box that persists across wipes—ensuring your valuables remain safe over time. You can access your OCD through HWS Connect or via in-game commands.

Note: You must log in for HWS Connect to stay up-to-date. Tools like Structure Commander may show outdated info otherwise.
Damaged weapons, armors, boosters inside armors, and trade commodities cannot be stored at any OCD level.

:rocket: How to Use OCD

Basic Deposit Command

To store items, use the ocd:put:x command, where x is your toolbar slot number.

Example:
If you have 999 Fusion Cells in toolbar slot 1 and 500 in slot 2:

  1. Type ocd:put:1
  2. Wait 10 seconds
  3. Type ocd:put:2

Then check HWS Connect to see your updated item total in the corresponding OCD slot.

:light_bulb: Type ocd:put in faction chat for a convenient deposit interface.


:brain: OCD Commands

Visit cmd.hws.global, open your PDA > Guide > HWS Commands, or type ocd:? in-game to explore all available commands.

:card_index_dividers: OCD Categories

For HWS+ EU/NA:

For HWS Reforged Eden (HWS RE):

OCD works slightly differently in HWS RE to better align with the scenario’s intended gameplay. Categories differ due to block ID variations.

> ℹ️ These categories may be updated or rearranged over time.

:hammer_and_wrench: OCD Upgrades

There are 10 OCD levels. Each upgrade increases storage slots and capacity.

> ✅ Alien cores can be stored at **any** OCD level now—Level 5 is no longer required.

:round_pushpin: OCD Zones

Usually, items can only be deposited or retrieved inside OCD Zones—invisible regions that vary in size and location.

Common Locations

The most used OCD Zones are at EGS HQ and EGS HQ Outpost in the ECC sector.

Create Your Own OCD Zone

Purchase a Support Package to generate an OCD Zone at your base.

  1. Visit your desired PvE Base
  2. Type:
    do:oz:id
    3.(Replace “id” with your Base ID from Structure Commander or console: di)*

OCD Zone Rules:

  • Removed if the base is removed
  • Size: 50x50x50 around the core
  • Can be used by all players (not faction-locked)
  • Only available in PvE playfields
  • Cannot overlap with other zones (e.g., Recycle Zone)
  • Removed if applied to a ship and CSW’d

:ticket: OCD Tickets

Use OCD Tickets to withdraw items outside an OCD Zone (PvP or PvE).

  • Requires 1 PvP Token = 1 OCD Ticket
  • Use them wisely!
