This article summarizes recommended Koen farming methods in the Valley of Arena Breakout. It also includes strategies for the Lockdown Zone and recommended keys. If you want to learn about recommended Koen farming in the Valley, refer to this guide.
What to Bring to a Raid
M14 Carbine is Recommended for Weapon
The recommended weapon is M14 Carbine, so buy it from the market. Tap the scope and muzzle, then search, and it's recommended to buy one equipped with a high-magnification scope and silencer. As of November, it can be purchased for approximately 30,000 to 40,000 Koen.
Points to Note When Purchasing
Try to purchase items where the price difference between "Reference Unit Price" and "Purchase Price" is small. Even if you find the customized gun you're looking for, the purchase price may be higher than the reference price. If the purchase price is too high, it's cheaper to customize it yourself.
Bring 7.62x51mm M80 Ammo
Players in the Lockdown Zone often equip around Armor Class 4, and 7.62x51mm M80 with penetration level 4 is sufficient to fight. Bringing an additional 60 rounds of ammunition will eliminate concerns about running out of ammo. Since M80 is expensive, it's recommended to store it in a secure container before heading out on a raid.
No Need to Bring a Spare Magazine
It's generally long-range combat, so it's okay not to bring a spare magazine. When you're about to run out of ammo, remove the magazine directly and reload. If you're worried about close-quarters encounters, bringing one spare magazine is also a good idea.
Recommended Armor Set
Armor Class 4 armor and a Commander A Tactical Headset is recommended. In the Valley, you often won't survive a headshot from a sniper. To reduce losses when killed, go into raids without equipping a helmet.
Z038 Tactical Headset is Also Okay
It's also okay to equip the Z038 Tactical Headset, which has one level lower "noise reduction" performance compared to the Commander A Tactical Headset. There's only about a 1,000 Koen difference in market price, so equip whichever you prefer.
Recommended Rig & Backpack
| Recommended Rig | Recommended Backpack |
 RAP Simple Chest Rig |  Outdoor Travel Backpack |
If you plan to defeat enemies and procure a backpack locally, it's okay to go without one. The Lockdown Zone has an increased appearance rate for high-value supplies, so it's recommended to bring an Outdoor Travel Backpack assuming a scenario where you don't encounter enemies.
Items to Bring
- Grenades
- Food and Water
- Healing Items
- Painkillers
- Spare Ammunition
- Extraction item "Safety Harness"
Extraction Items Boost Success Rate
The RV Park extraction condition includes "Possession of Safety Harness." The appearance probability is 50%, but having more extraction points significantly increases survival rate. The item price is also cheap at about 2,000 Koen, and it can be carried in one slot, so be sure to prepare it.
Strategy After the Raid Starts
Lockdown Zone Most Dangerous at Start
In the Lockdown Zone, spawn locations can be close to enemy players. Immediately after the raid starts, always be cautious of your surroundings. Understanding general spawn locations will increase your early-game survival rate.
Head North
The southern side of the Valley map has the "Seaside Villa," a highly contested area, and many spots are watched by snipers. Utilize cover and bushes to break lines of sight while moving north.
Target Players Fighting at Landmarks
Players entering the Lockdown Zone often wear high-performance gear. Snipe players engaged in combat at the RV Park or Small Factory from a distance to take their equipment.
Always Be Aware of Lines of Sight
When focused on defeating enemies, you might leave yourself exposed. Many players in the Valley use long-range weapons, so always act with the awareness that you might be targeted.
Loot Player Gear and Extract
In the Lockdown Zone, gear looted from players often yields significant profit. After looting, move along the north side, avoiding detection by other enemies. To speed up your travel to the extraction point, it's recommended to consume food that recovers stamina while moving.
Use Safety Harness to Extract at RV Park
If you have a Safety Harness, you can extract from the RV Park with a 50% chance. After fighting at the RV Park, if this extraction point is open, use the Safety Harness to return immediately.
Don't Forget to Bring Keys
Lockdown Zone Has Increased Rare Loot Rate
Due to the increased difficulty in the Lockdown Zone, high-value supplies are more likely to appear than in normal raids. If you want to earn as much Koen as possible, it's recommended to prepare Valley keys.
