Best Cheap Loadouts to Earn Money Fast in Arena Breakout: Infinite

Having a healthy in-game bank account in an extraction shooter is key to a slightly less stressful experience, and that holds true in Arena Breakout: Infinite as well. If you’re running short on cash, though, knowing the best cheap loadouts you can use to easily make money fast can be a godsend.

Five Cheap Weapon Loadouts for Making Money in Arena Breakout: Infinite

First, a point of order. The gear loadouts I’m listing here are not optimized for PvP. Rather, they’ll keep you safer from the AI, even in Lockdown Zone to some extent, but against meta-geared chads and multiple players, they’re liable to be found lacking. The goal is to be as prepared as possible for a fight while spending as little as possible on your setup. We’ll start with the weapons you should look to use.

MP5-SD

One of my favorite setups in any shooter, the MP5-SD in Arena Breakout: Infinite is a solid budget choice without sacrificing too much stopping power. Even with purple ammo, you shouldn’t have too much trouble dealing with the AI, and you can even shred geared players if you keep them short range. Here’s the setup I use:

• Bolt: MP5 Micro SMG. Cost: 20,000 Koen
• Receiver: MP5 High-Performance SD Upper Receiver. Cost: 11,000 Koen
• Muzzle: MP5SD Suppressor. Cost: 8,000 Koen
• Handguard: MP5SD Polymer Handguard: 20,000 Koen
• Rail: MP5 Extended Rail. Cost: 2,300 Koen
• Stock: MP5 Fixed Stock. Cost: 7,770 Koen
• Sight: EKP-8-18 Reflex Sight. Cost: 10,000 Koen
• Magazine: MP5 Standard 30-Round Magazine. Cost: 2,300 Koen each.

Total Cost before additional ammo and magazines: 70,000-80,000 Koen depending on market rates.

BM59

In what I think is probably the lowest-cost budget build I could find, the BM59 offers great stopping power, range, and usability for next to almost nothing as Arena Breakout: Infinite goes. It’s a six-part setup that clocks easily below 30,000 Koen. You can take that value just beyond 40,000 with a Suppresor. If you don’t mind going loud, you can get a good weapon for a fantastic price.

• Bolt: BM59 Carbine. Cost: 4,000 Koen
• Sight: EKP-8-18 Reflex Sight. Cost: 10,000 Koen
• Rail: Dedicated BM 59 Rail. Cost: 1,200 Koen
• Magazine: BM59 10 Round Magazine. Cost: 3,400 Koen
• Muzzle: AR-10 Muzzle Flash Suppressor. Cost: 6,500 Koen

Total cost before additional ammo and magazines: 24,000-28,000 Koen.

FAL

Budget is our primary concern with these builds, and you aren’t going to get too close to below 100,000 Koen for a decent assault rifle setup. You can get one that functions relatively well for its price with the FAL, though you’ll be making some significant sacrifices and the thing will kick like a mule. If you want some of the highest stopping power in the game, though, there are few better substitutes.

• Bought weapon: FAL Assault Rifle. Cost: 56,000 Koen
• Handguard: CASV FAL Adapter Handguard. Cost: 44,000 Koen
• Dust Cover: FAL Sight Mount Receiver Cover. Cost: 18,000 Koen
• Rail: 6″ Modular Lock Rail. Cost: 3,300 Koen
• Sight: EKP-8-18 Reflex Sight. Cost: 10,000 Koen
• Front Grip: Vertical Front Grip. Cost: 6,500 Koen
• Magazine: FAL 30-Round Magazine. Cost: 15,000 Koen

Total cost before additional ammo and magazines 100,000-110,000 Koen.

AK-102

5.56 ammo has always been a solid midpoint between the SMG and 5.45-firing weapons and those that use the harder-hitting 7.62 rounds. That’s true in Arena Breakout: Infinite as well, and with the AK-102, you have a fairly accessible 5.56-firing rifle that you can build a functional setup with for just under 100,000 Koen. Make additional sacrifices for even lower cost.

• Bought weapon: AK-102 Assault Rifle. Cost: 30,000 Koen
• Gas Block: AKM Standard Gas Tube. Cost: 1,500 Koen
• Handguard: AK-series CAA Polymer Front Handguard. Cost: 6,000 Koen
• Rear Grip: SAW Tactical AK Rear Grip. Cost: 6,500 Koen
• Front Grip: Vertical Front Grip. Cost: 6,000 Koen
• Muzzle: MDR Standard Flash Suppressor. Cost: 4,500 Koen
• Stock: AK Stock Recoil Pad. Cost: 10,000 Koen
• Dust cover: AKM Series Standard Dust Cover. Cost: 500 Koen
• Rail: AK Series Dust Cover Rail. Cost: 7,500 Koen
• Gun Bolt: AK Series Alloy Charging Handle Cap. Cost: 400 Koen
• Sight: EKP-8-18 Reflex Sight. Cost: 11,000 Koen

Total cost before ammunition and magazines 92,000-95,000 Koen.

Mosin Man

The story of the Mosin Man continues in Arena Breakout: Infinite. While not as quite cheap as the BM59, if you want to perpetuate the legend that is the low-geared with a Mosin Nagant rifle PMC, I can’t and won’t stop you.

• Bolt: Mosin-Nagant Bolt-Action Rifle. Cost: 6,500 Koen
• Barrel: Mosin Sniper Barrel. Cost: 12,000 Koen
• Stock: Mosin Standard Sniper Stock. Cost: 6,000 Koen
• Magazine: Mosin Sniper Rifle Standard Magazine Chamber. Cost: 2,100 Koen
• Rail: Mosin Sniper Sight Mount. Cost: 3,000 Koen
• Rail: 3.5 Scope Ring Base. Cost: 3,000 Koen
• Sight: Mosin Dedicated 3.5x Rifle Scope.
• Sight: Mosin-Nagant Standard Rear Sight
• Sight: Mosin-Nagant Standard Front Sight

Total cost before ammunition: 38,000-40,000 Koen.

A Cheap Gear Loadout to Save Money in Arena Breakout Infinite

I’ll be assuming you’ve equipped the following set of gear, not including your weapons. I’ll be trying to keep your entire setup under 150,000 Koen.

Equipment

• Helmet: IND200. Barter from Randal Fisher. Average cost: ~20,000 Koen
• Chest: Sentry 305 Armored Chest Rig. Barter from Randal Fisher. Average Cost: 33,000 Koen
• Headset: Commander A Tactical Headset. Barter from Randal Fisher. Average Cost: 14,000 Koen
• Backpack: Chapman Backpack. Barter from Deke Wison. Average Cost: 20,000 Koen

Consumables

• Two Standard First Aid Kits. Cost: 2,666 Koen
• One OPM Bandage (or multiple regular bandages). Cost: ~2,000 Koen
• One stack of purple ammo: 15,000-25,000 Koen
• Three Liquid Painkillers. Cost: 4,000 Koen as a barter from Evita
• One Standard Surgery Kit. Cost: 14,000 Koen

Total equipment cost before weapons: 125,000-135,000 Koen.

Bear in mind that if you downgrade any of your equipment or find better deals, you might get as low as 110,000 Koen for a pre-weapon kit. Get better ammo, more ammo, or any upgrades and that number goes up.

All told, then, you can expect a standard budget kit to cost you around 225,000 Koen, which is at least 50,000 less than you’d make if you extract from a raid with a full kit of random stuff you found. It will be significantly less if you take out another player or two and take their stuff, as you can then use their kit if you lose your budget one. Provided you survive your PvP encounters or avoid them entirely, you can use that 225,000-250,000 Koen cheap loadout multiple times, making sure it pays for itself several times over.
