Arena Breakout Infinite is a free-to-play shooter with a lot more complexity that should entice casual players from Escape From Tarkov. Being F2P certainly helps, too. In ABI, the loadout you choose is crucial for your success in raids. This guide covers the best loadouts for each difficulty level: Normal, Lockdown Zone, and Forbidden Zone.
What Is the Best Loadout in Arena Breakout Infinite?
Arena Breakout Infinite offers three difficulty levels that impact loot quality and NPC scavenger toughness:
- Normal: Basic loot and weaker militant bots.
- Lockdown Zone: Increased difficulty with better gear for bots and a loadout requirement of 30,000 Koen, the entry cost of 5000 Koen.
- Forbidden Zone: Elite difficulty featuring heavily armed bots and enemy players, requiring loadouts worth at least 80,000 Koen, the entry cost of 12000 Koen, start time 12:00-20:00 (UTC-0).
Choose your gear wisely to maximize your success across these varying challenges.
