How to Get Free Koen in Arena Breakout

Koen is the currency you earn by playing raids in Arena Breakout Infinite: there's no need to pay real money or buy Bonds to build it up, you just need to extract alive from raids and know where to look. Most new players lose Koen without realizing it, either by failing to cash in on the loot they find or by ignoring the merchants' daily quests, which offer steady rewards for low risk. In this guide we cover the methods verified by the community and by creators who specialize in the game: from loot extractions on maps like Farm, Valley, or Mining Port, to bartering with merchants like Deke Vinson or selling stripped weapon parts. We also explain which looting routes are safest if you're running basic gear, and how much Koen you can expect to pull in depending on the type of raid. The goal is simple: build a sustainable in-game economy without relying on one-off rewards or purchases.

What's the fastest way to get Koen in Arena Breakout?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Koen, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

~200,000–500,000 Koen per raid Variable

Loot extractions from raids

Extracting alive with a full inventory is by far the method that generates the most Koen per session. On maps like Farm or Valley, specific routes (for example Tool Shed → Admin Building → Power Substation on Farm) let you carry out valuable items with controlled risk. The better you know the loot spots and extraction routes, the less time you spend exposed to other players. It's the method with the highest earning ceiling, but also the most dependent on skill and the map you choose.

~50,000–100,000 Koen per contract Daily

Daily and weekly quests, and merchant contracts

Merchants offer quests and contracts that reset daily and in weekly cycles, with rewards in Koen and experience for completing them. High-tier contracts pay noticeably more than basic tasks, and often include extra loot on top of the Koen. Keeping a daily quest streak unlocks bonuses that build up over time. It's the most stable method because it doesn't depend on finding specific items, just on playing consistently.

~15,000–25,000 Koen per safe route Every raid

Looting cash registers, containers, and loose items

Cash registers, lockers, and containers scattered across the maps consistently drop Koen and sellable items, even on low-risk routes away from the most contested zones. On Farm, for example, the route through the Grain Trade Center and its office safe tends to give predictable loot. It's ideal for raids with basic gear, since it doesn't require fighting other players to make the raid profitable.

Variable depending on rarity Variable

Selling items on the market and to merchants

Anything you don't need for your own loadout can be sold, either directly to a merchant or on the player market. Medical supplies, weapon parts, and attachments sell reliably to NPCs, while rare items usually fetch better prices on the market over weekends, when player demand rises. Saving your highest-value loot for those price spikes, instead of dumping it right after the raid, clearly boosts your return per raid.

~78,000–100,000 Koen profit per barter Every few hours

Bartering with merchants (Deke Vinson)

The merchant Deke Vinson refreshes his barter inventory every few hours, offering trades where you hand over lower-value materials or items and receive others you can resell for a profit on the market. Examples cited by community guides include rifles or thermal scopes that, after the barter, leave a considerable margin. It's worth checking the rotation often, since the best deals disappear quickly.

Variable Every raid

Stripping and selling weapon parts

Broken or spare weapons can be stripped at the workbench in your stash to recover components like sights, stocks, magazines, or tactical rails, which sell separately. This practice usually generates more total Koen than selling the whole weapon at once, especially if it has several attachments installed. It's a secondary method, but a profitable one if you already play regularly and stockpile weapons you won't use.

Up to ~500,000 Koen per event Every patch

Seasonal event rewards

Each season usually brings temporary events with high Koen rewards for completing specific challenges, such as finishing a certain number of successful raids or clearing specific challenges tied to the current patch. These rewards aren't recurring like daily quests, but they pay off well for the time invested while the event is active. It's worth checking the event calendar in-game or on the official Discord so you don't miss them.

How much free Koen can you get per month?

Source	Estimated amount	Frequency
Loot extractions	~800,000–1,500,000	Variable
Quests and contracts	~150,000–300,000	Daily/Weekly
Looting cash registers and containers	~150,000–300,000	Every raid
Market/merchant sales	~200,000–500,000	Variable
Barters (Deke Vinson)	~150,000–300,000	Every few hours
Weapon stripping	~50,000–150,000	Every raid
Estimated total	~1,500,000–3,000,000 Koen per month	—

The range is wide because it depends directly on your skill, how much time you play, and how many raids you extract from alive: a casual player will stay at the low end of the range, while someone who plays daily and knows the loot routes well can approach or exceed the high end.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get Koen without spending real money in Arena Breakout?

Yes. Koen is the currency you earn by playing raids: you get it from extracting with loot, completing merchant quests, selling items, and bartering. It requires no purchase, unlike Bonds, which are a paid currency.

What's the fastest way to get Koen?

Loot extractions on maps like Farm or Valley generate the most Koen per raid, but they're also the riskiest. For a safer, steadier route, merchants' daily quests offer reliable rewards with less exposure.

Is it worth selling loot right away or waiting?

It depends on the item. Common supplies and parts can be sold immediately, but rare items usually fetch a better price on the market over weekends, when player demand is higher.
