Arena Breakout Infinite activate locators: how to use them
Locators mark points of interest on your map once activated. Learn where they come from and how to get the most from each one.
Locators are items that reveal points of interest on your map once activated. In Arena Breakout: Infinite, they turn an unfamiliar building into a short list of marked spots. That saves time and keeps you out of rooms you don’t need to clear.
What a locator actually does
A locator works like a scan. When you use one, marked locations appear on your map so you can plan a route instead of guessing. The marks point toward loot and key areas, though they don’t open locked doors or replace key knowledge. For locked rooms, the keys guide is still your main resource.
Locators are single-use items. Each activation consumes one, so timing matters more than hoarding.
How to activate a locator
- Loot or buy a locator before the raid and keep it in your backpack.
- Open your inventory during the raid and select the locator.
- Confirm the use prompt. The marked locations appear on your map right away.
The exact menu path can shift with updates, so follow the on-screen prompt if the layout looks different.
Where to get them
Locators show up as loot around the maps, especially in areas worth searching anyway. You can also buy them from other players on the market when the price makes sense. The marketplace guide covers pricing basics and safe trading habits.
If you’d rather farm everything yourself, build your route around known spawn areas. The farm loot routes guide lists efficient paths that keep your bag full without wasted movement.
When to activate
The best moment is just before you enter a building you don’t know. Activating in the open wastes the scan if another operator is watching. Inside a structure, you get the marks with cover nearby.
Don’t burn locators in areas you already know. Save them for unfamiliar maps and long raids where wrong turns cost the most. The maps guide helps you learn layouts so you need fewer scans over time.
