Buy Bonds for Arena Breakout: Infinite — UID top-up on the CIS server
Arena Breakout: Infinite is the hardcore PC extraction shooter from MoreFun Studios (part of Tencent, published by Level Infinite) — not TiMi, despite the mix-up that still pops up in coverage. The same team builds the mobile Arena Breakout. The game ran in Early Access from 13 August 2024 through the official launcher only, then went free-to-play with a full Steam and Epic Games Store release on 15 September 2025. It runs on Unreal Engine 4.26 with layered ballistics, bullet fragmentation and modular weapon attachments. As of May 2026 the live patch is Season 5 "Distortion", which dropped on 2 April, and the 1st Anniversary event has been running in phases since 17 April. There is one premium currency — Bonds — and everything in the catalogue is priced in it.
- Unlocking the seasonal Advanced Pass and Premium Pass
- Activating the Elite Subscription for 30 days (+150 stash slots)
- Renting Bulletproof Case 2x2 and Composite Case 3x2 secure containers
- Permanent stash upgrades from 350 up to 600 slots
- Weapon and operator skins, plus Quick Kits from the in-game shop
- A reserve for repairs on top-tier armour and medical kits between raids
Permanent vs Temporary Bonds: what actually lands on the account
ABI splits the same currency into two flavours, and event payouts can be confusing. Permanent Bonds are the ones bought with real money: they sit on the account indefinitely and cover any purchase — pass, case, skin. Temporary Bonds come from dailies, Battle Pass tiers and seasonal events; they work the same way at the till, but each grant can carry an expiration date, and any leftover Bonds are wiped after that deadline with no compensation. To make sure they do not burn, the game spends Temporary first and only then dips into Permanent. A real-money top-up through Brawl Games credits Permanent Bonds — they show up in the wallet on the linked UID and never expire.
What happened to Koen: the story of the removed paid currency
Koen is the in-raid trade currency for ammo, armour repairs, marketplace bids and looted gear from NPC safes. During Early Access (August 2024 to September 2025) Koen could be topped up with real money, which fed a long pay-to-win backlash on Reddit and in Steam reviews. With the full release on 15 September 2025 the developers officially removed the paid Koen option — it is now strictly a farmable currency from quests, raid loot, marketplace flips and stash safes. Older guides and YouTube videos still talk about "buying Koen", but that is out of date. Real money buys Bonds; Koen is earned in raids.
Advanced Pass and Premium Pass: 1,500 or 2,600 Bonds
The seasonal Battle Pass runs alongside an 8- to 10-week patch cycle and resets at the start of the next season. The two paid tiers split clearly. The Advanced Pass at around 1,500 Bonds opens the premium reward track from level one — you grind raids and daily contracts up to level 80. The Premium Pass at around 2,600 Bonds skips you straight to level 30 and adds an exclusive operator skin that is not available any other way. At max level the Advanced track returns roughly 500 Bonds in rewards; the Premium track returns 2,000–3,000 Bonds plus an Elite Subscription bundled into the rewards line, so it partly pays itself back for an active player. The Brawl Games catalogue lists the pass with two delivery formats — "PC" (UID-based, no login) and "Login" (one-time access code). They are the same product from Level Infinite, just two ways to deliver it. If you already own Advanced and want to move up, the upgrade SKU charges the price difference between the two tiers.
Elite Subscription: 500 Bonds for 30 days
Elite Subscription (also called Elite Privilege) costs 500 Bonds in-game and bundles the infrastructure perks an active player leans on: +150 stash slots for 30 days (the base 350 grows to 500, a 43% bump), 300 weekly marketplace listing slots versus the default cap, 8 Simulation slots for delayed trades, faster Hideout health regen and a small daily Bonds payout. It is not auto-renewing and not a Tarkov-style EOD edition — each activation lasts 30 days and you re-buy the next one when it ends. Stacking is sequential: two activations equal 60 days. The catalogue may label it a "subscription", but there is no recurring billing — it is a one-shot 30-day grant.
Bulletproof Case 2x2 and Composite Case 3x2: what the case actually protects
Secure Cases are the only reliable way to bring valuables out of a failed raid: anything inside the case stays with you when your operator dies and the extract goes south. The Bulletproof Case is a 2x2 grid (four slots), rented for 30 days. The Composite Case is a 3x2 (six slots), big enough for a tactical backpack of ammo or a couple of mid-size weapons. The grid sizes are literal — a full rifle does not fit into 2x2 — so most players use Bulletproof for gems, keys and rare quest items, and Composite for chunkier loot. Secure Cases of 3x3 and larger are no longer sold for Bonds after the 15 September 2025 full release — they are part of the fair-play rebalance that removed paid Koen, and only drop from in-game missions and seasonal rewards, including a free 3x3 case for 30 days from the 1st Anniversary track. Bulletproof and Composite are separate SKUs; there is no automatic upgrade between them.
The 350-slot stash and three permanent upgrades
The base stash is 350 slots, enough for 15–20 full loadouts if you pack tight. Three permanent upgrades expand it: +50 slots for 600 Bonds (to 400), +75 slots for 900 Bonds (to 475) and +125 slots for 1,400 Bonds (to 600). That is 2,900 Bonds total for the full permanent ceiling. After that, expansion only comes from Medic-girl missions and rare quests that ask for 1.5M Koen. Elite Subscription's +150 slots are a temporary boost on top — they do not stack with the permanent ceiling, they layer on for the 30 days the subscription is active. Stacking rigs inside other rigs is a known community trick that doubles effective storage without spending Bonds, but it is an optimisation play, not a catalogue item.
ABI and Arena Breakout (mobile) accounts are separate profiles
The most common buyer mistake is ordering Bonds "for Arena Breakout" without realising there are two games. Arena Breakout (mobile) and Arena Breakout: Infinite (PC) are separate profiles, on different servers, with independent progress, skins, Battle Pass tracks and wallets. Bonds do not transfer between them, even if the same email is used. The Brawl Games catalogue splits PC and mobile listings clearly — at checkout, double-check that the listing belongs to the Infinite / ABI line and that the CIS server is selected. UID is the numeric account ID shown in the top-right corner of the in-game lobby on the Profile card; UID-based delivery means no login needed.
Servers, Steam access and the VPN risk
ABI runs on regional servers: EU, CIS (the Russian-language region), NA, SA, APAC and a separate CN client. Region is locked at first login — switching it later means starting a new profile, since progress does not migrate. For players in regions where the Steam page is geo-blocked — as is the case for many Tencent and Level Infinite titles on Steam — the working route is the official launcher from arenabreakoutinfinite.com on the CIS server; it runs without a VPN. Direct Midasbuy top-ups with locally issued cards are often declined, which is why UID-based third-party top-ups have become the standard for the CIS audience. Using a VPN to swap regions is formally a TOS violation: Q1 2026 ban waves logged thousands of device/IP bans, and a UID top-up without region-jumping is the safer route. There is no PC-mobile crossplay and no console version — ABI is Windows-only.
Season 5 "Distortion" and the 1st Anniversary: what to grab first
Season 5 "Distortion" reworked Valley into Distorted Valley, a map where each raid lets you pick from four supernatural abilities. The patch also added the ticketed No Man's Land mode, the Warlord Tournament PvP event and a multi-boss Boss Rally. New weapons include the T192 and the FAMAS; balance changes removed red-ammo one-shots through chest armour and dropped self-revive. The 1st Anniversary event has been running in phases since 17 April 2026 and hands out up to 4,500 free Bonds (Temporary) through dailies and achievements, a free 3x3 Secure Case for 30 days, Premium Elite Privilege, No Man's Land tickets and a cosmetic bundle. If you are only entering the season, it is worth clearing the anniversary track first, riding it into the Advanced Pass, and topping up Bonds for the Premium upgrade or a Composite Case once you know what you actually need.
How to place a Bonds top-up

- Enter the UID, choose the CIS server and pick a delivery format ("PC" by UID or "Login" by access code where applicable).
- Confirm the data on the checkout screen and complete payment.
- Wait for delivery — Bonds appear in the wallet on the linked account.
Related top-ups in the catalogue
- Arena Breakout (mobile) — the mobile extraction title from the same MoreFun Studios; the Bonds/Koen economy looks similar, but the account and the server are different, and there is no carry-over.
- Delta Force — Tencent's tactical shooter with the Hazard Operations extraction mode, sitting next to large-scale 64v64 warfare in the same client.
- PUBG Mobile — Tencent / Lightspeed, with Metro Royale as the closest extraction-flavoured mode and the same UID-based top-up flow.
The Brawl Games catalogue lists Bonds denominations across the marketing ladder up to 10,000+800, the Advanced and Premium passes for Season 5 "Distortion", the 30-day Elite Subscription, and both secure cases — Bulletproof and Composite. Checkout asks for the UID and the CIS server only; payment is accepted from Russia and the CIS, and there is no need to share the account login or password. The on-site chat is available for questions about a specific SKU or order status.
