The Airport map in Arena Breakout: Infinite is not just another large location – it is one of the most intelligently designed, loot-dense, and survivable maps of Season 4. If you understand its logic, you can farm Koens consistently without being forced into constant PvP chaos.
This guide breaks the Airport down to its core mechanics: spawns, routes, safes, keys, loot logic, and optimal playstyles – so you play with your brain, not luck.
Why Airport Is One of the Best Maps This Season
Airport succeeds where many large maps fail:
- No empty running zones
- No forced PvP funnels
- High loot density across the entire map
- The highest number of safes in the game
- Multiple viable playstyles: aggressive or stealthy
If you want fights – you’ll find them.
If you want stable Koen farming – the map allows it.
This balance is what makes the Airport map unique.
Airport Map Logic: Why Survival Is Easier Here
The airport is a ring-shaped map with a dense central core.
Core Structure
- Center: Control Tower (2 floors, main PvP hotspot)
- Outer Ring: Five major locations
- Connectors: Corridors, bypasses, flanking routes
This means:
- Not everyone rushes the center
- You can rotate safely
- You choose when to fight
Your survival rate depends entirely on route selection, not RNG.
All Spawns & Early Contact Timings
After extensive testing, Airport has 11 primary spawn points:
- Exhibition Area: 3 spawns
- Fuel Depot: 2 spawns
- Construction Site: 2 spawns
- Cargo Center: 2 spawns
- Parking Area: 2 spawns
Important Reality Check
- Not all spawns activate each raid
- Average lobby size: ~12 players (4 squads total)
- Early spawn fights are rare, unless you sprint directly into a hotspot
Airport respects minimum engagement distance, unlike smaller maps.
Outer Ring Locations Overview
The outer ring consists of five loot-rich zones. Each is viable for farming.
1. Exhibition Area
One of the most valuable zones outside the tower.
- Exclusive airplane collectible quest
- Collect 4 model planes → guaranteed high-tier loot
- Each squad member receives rewards individually
- Free electronic safe always present
- Key room inside a service cabin
Perfect for solo and squad farming.
2. Fuel Depot
Compact but efficient.
- One guaranteed free safe between fuel tanks
- Locked room (Fuel Depot Key):
- Electronic safe
- Additional containers
High reward, moderate risk.
3. Construction Site
The most unpredictable zone.
- Free safe may disappear between raids
- Only the outer-ring location where this happens
- Multiple mini-safes
- Drainpipe extraction (no-backpack exit)
Always check the map after spawning.
4. Cargo Center
Consistent and safe farming zone.
- Guaranteed free electronic safe in hangars
- Locked storage room (Cargo Area Key):
- Safe
- Multiple crates
Low traffic, reliable income.
5. Parking & Ticket Hall
Strong transitional area.
Parking
- Electronic safe inside a vehicle (20-second timer)
Ticket Hall
- Fast access toward center
- Second floor locked room:
- Safe
- Document box
- Military PC
High movement traffic – loot fast and rotate.
Safe System Explained (Critical Knowledge)
The airport has the most safes in Arena Breakout: Infinite.
Safe Types
- Free safes: 12 total
- Locked safes: 8 total
- Mini-safes: Dynamic spawns (not marked)
Key Rule
The map always contains 8 free safes – they never disappear, only relocate.
Mini-safes:
- Not marked on map
- Change position each raid
- Spawn in logical places (tables, desks, corners)
- Drop gold frequently, and can drop red items
Ignoring mini-safes is a mistake.

Yes. Solving the AOK Archives code can unlock one of the highest-value loot rooms on Airport, making it absolutely worth the effort if uncontested.
