Kurt: The Tactical Commander of the TV Station in Arena Breakout: Infinite
Among the trio of bosses lurking in the TV Station, Kurt stands out as the most balanced and tactically complete. As the squad leader of this faction, Kurt’s approach to combat blends durability, suppressive fire, and dangerous utility – making him a versatile and lethal adversary who can adapt to nearly any raid scenario. From faster bursts to explosive traps, Kurt keeps even seasoned players on their toes.

Loadout Breakdown: Lethality in Layers
Kurt’s standard loadout screams high-tier dominance:
- MDR, F2000 or M4A1 with a Blue-Violet laser sight for enhanced hipfire and visibility control.
- 60-round drum mags loaded with M855 or M855A1 5.56x45mm ammo, giving him both volume and penetration.
- Wears a T6 AL Commander chest rig, one of the most coveted in the game due to its massive slot count and armor rating.
- Equips a T5 O3 Heavy Helmet and GS2 headset for full sensory and ballistic protection.
What makes Kurt’s setup dangerous isn’t just the gear – it’s how he uses it. Thanks to enhanced AI, Kurt can accurately hit moving targets at over 30 meters, adjust to player movement patterns, and coordinate suppression fire with his guards.
Appearance & Loot
Boss Kurt can sometimes blend in with TV Station guards, but he’s visually distinguished by his O3 helmet and a Task Force-style combat outfit – gear normally restricted to player skins. His boss token is the Combat Compass, a subtle nod to his role as squad commander and tactician.
Upon defeating him, players should prioritize looting:
- AL Commander T6 Rig (spacious and durable);
- Fully loaded drum mags;
- AUG with rare mods;
- Potential rare keys or encrypted data tied to the TV Station storyline.
Spawn Locations & Raids
Kurt typically spawns in one of the following TV Station hotspots:
- Central Control Area (1 Floor) – The richest area of TV Station. There are two encrypted safes and a locked room.
During Lockdown Raids, his bodyguards’ loadouts escalate in lethality, making them resemble elite PvP squads more than traditional AI opponents.
AI Behavior: Suppression and Smart Utility
Kurt doesn’t charge blindly – he suppresses. Both he and his guards are scripted to engage last-known positions, laying down continuous fire even after losing visual contact. This behavior often locks players in cover, forcing long delays or costly repositioning.
Unique to Kurt is his use of Sticky C4 – an explosive device that mimics a flashbang when thrown, but emits a telltale ticking sound just before detonation. Players unaware of this trick often fail to react in time, making it one of the most deceptive utility uses in the game. Always retreat on visual cue; don’t rely solely on the sound.
Combat Strategy: Play the Distance Game
- Engage at medium-to-long range. Kurt wears a helmet, but the prevalence of high-tier ammo in TV Station makes headshots a reliable strategy.
- Use cover and angle rotations to stay ahead of his suppressive fire.
- Be cautious during reload gaps; even his guards maintain constant fire pressure.
Once Kurt boss is down, secure the Commander rig quickly – other players often converge on his death zone due to the loot’s value.
Kurt’s Guards: Consistent Mid-Tier Threats
His guards may not wield exotic loadouts, but they’re deadly through efficiency:
- Armed with ACE31 rifles loaded with PS rounds
- Wear TM1 Armored Rig and T4 KSS2 tactical helmets
Despite lower-tier ammo, their pinpoint accuracy and suppressive behavior make them far more dangerous than their gear suggests. They should never be underestimated – many failed assaults on Kurt result from underestimating these sentinels.
Final Thoughts
Kurt is the kind of boss designed to punish careless aggression and reward patient, methodical players. He’s not about flashy gear tricks or overwhelming brute force – he’s about control. Control of space, vision, angles, and tempo.
Successfully eliminating Kurt feels like a military operation well-executed. You’ll need timing, precision, and spatial awareness – but the payoff, especially his AL Commander Rig and rare drops, is absolutely worth the risk.
