How to Survive Your First 50 Raids

Arena Breakout is punishing for new players. Your first 50 raids will determine whether you go broke or build a bank. Here's how to survive.

Survival Checklist

Priority	Item	Why
1	Sound	Use directional audio -- footsteps tell you everything
2	Positioning	Never run across open fields
3	Ammo quality	1 mag of good ammo > 5 of bad
4	Surgery kit	Without it, a broken leg = death
5	Map knowledge	Know 3 cheap extract points per map

The 50-Raid Survival Rules

• Rule #1: If you hear shots, STOP moving. Let them fight. Clean up or extract.
• Rule #2: If you get one good kill, extract immediately. Don't get greedy.
• Rule #3: Never take a fight you didn't start. Third-party always wins.
• Rule #4: Your secure container holds your escape items (surgery kit + 1 stack of good ammo)

Starter Gear Progression
Raids 1-10: Knife only, loot dead bodies, extract
Raids 11-25: Budget UZI with Pst ammo
Raids 26-40: AK-74N with PP ammo
Raids 41-50: Full T4 gear with BT ammo
After raid 50: You know your playstyle, build around it

MENA/SEA server tip: The player base here is more aggressive than EU/NA. Expect more close-range rushers. Build for hip-fire accuracy and fast ADS -- you won't have time to scope in. Also, player count peaks at 8-11 PM local time (more players to loot). Play during off-peak hours (2-5 PM) for safer raids with less competition.
