The Airport — officially Guoyapos International Airport — is the newest map in Arena Breakout: Infinite and, by MoreFun's own numbers, the one with the highest drop rates in the game. It launched with Season 4: "Dusk to Dawn" on January 8, 2026, and it is still the go-to map when you want to walk out heavy. The whole map is built around a single octagonal Central Terminal / Control Tower that MoreFun and outlet PCGamesN both describe as a "treasure trove of valuable supplies" — which is exactly why it is also the deadliest spot on the map. Learn the zones, pick your entry, and know your extraction options before you queue.
This guide is verified against MoreFun's official Season 4: Dusk to Dawn launch post, the January 15, 2026 and July 30, 2026 live-update patch notes, and the live Steam store page for app 2073620, and reflects the game as it stands in Season 6: White Nights (the June 30, 2026 update — still the live season as of September 4, 2026). No Season 7 has been announced. Loot and balance in extraction shooters shift every season, so treat the specifics as a Season 6 snapshot.
⚡ TL;DR — Arena Breakout: Infinite Airport map (Season 6)
- What it is: the newest of the game's 6 maps, added in Season 4: Dusk to Dawn (Jan 8, 2026). Official name: Guoyapos International Airport, a militarized aviation hub in southern Guoyapos.
- Why you play it: MoreFun stated in the January 15 patch notes that "the Airport map will continue to have the highest drop rates." It is the richest loot map in ABI.
- The core areas (official): Freight Center, Exhibition, Fuel Storage, Parking Lot, Ticket Hall, and Control Tower. The Control Tower is the hot zone.
- Safe counts (Lockdown Zone, official): 7 electronic safes, 7 encrypted safes, 1 regular safe, 2 Strong Boxes, and 13 small safes. The Forbidden Zone has even more encrypted safes and Strong Boxes.
- Map mechanics: collect model airplanes to trigger a lucky slot machine that guarantees a gold miscellaneous item, plus password decryption to reach hidden areas and unlock new routes.
- Extractions: the usual extraction points plus new Collaboration and Special Mission Extraction Points — pick your route by your objective, not just the nearest exit.
- Difficulty tiers: Normal → Lockdown → Forbidden Zone. Higher tier = higher loot ceiling and higher entry cost.
Where is the Airport in Arena Breakout: Infinite?
The Airport is the sixth and newest map in the rotation. MoreFun added it in Season 4: Dusk to Dawn, which went live on January 8, 2026, and named it Guoyapos International Airport. In the game's fiction it sits in southern Guoyapos as "a modern aviation hub" that "initially… served tourists from abroad," before — in MoreFun's words — "as the war progressed, it was used by both sides as a provisional frontline command center and was militarized accordingly."
That backstory matters for how you read the map: it plays as a civilian airport that got bolted onto a war effort. You get wide-open aprons and runways, a huge central terminal, and a scatter of warehouses and support buildings around the edges. PCGamesN, covering the launch, summed up the appeal plainly — the abandoned logistics hub is "a prime spot to grab some worthwhile loot."
The six areas of the Airport map
MoreFun's own map introduction lists six named areas. Learn these before your first raid — callouts, quest objectives, and route planning all key off them:
- Control Tower — the octagonal building at the dead center of the map. It holds the densest, highest-value loot on the Airport, which makes it the single most contested spot. PCGamesN describes it as a "treasure trove of valuable supplies," with "multiple points of entry and exit" and upper-floor rooms locked behind keys. There is also "word of a secret passage." Treat it as a fight, not a loot run.
- Ticket Hall — the terminal interior connected to the central tower complex. High foot traffic, lots of interior containers and counters.
- Freight Center — the logistics/cargo wing (the West Wing side of the map). Industrial loot, crates, and container spawns; a strong option if you want density without diving straight into the tower.
- Exhibition — a large hall on the opposite (East) side. Another big interior objective with its own loot pockets.
- Fuel Storage — the industrial tanks toward the north of the map. A quieter approach vector with cover.
- Parking Lot — the vehicle and apron areas out toward the runways. This is your "less populated" perimeter: PCGamesN notes the ring around the tower is "surrounded by roads, and then by scattered warehouses and other buildings that are likely to be less populated," which is ideal if you'd rather take a cautious, edge-hugging route.
The map above pins each of these areas onto the actual Airport layout so you can see the geography, not just the names. A quick note on the spelling: MoreFun's Season 4 launch post writes the full name as "Guoyapos International Airport," while later posts and community sites often shorten it to just "Airport" (and you'll see "Guayapos" floating around too). The in-game map name is simply Airport — the "Guoyapos" name is the lore location it sits in.
Why the Airport is the best loot map in ABI
The reason to learn this map over the others is simple, and it comes straight from an official patch note. In the January 15, 2026 live update, MoreFun stated: "the Airport map will continue to have the highest drop rates," while adding that loot value in other Lockdown and Forbidden Zones had been increased "to close the gap." In other words, MoreFun's own words confirm the Airport sits at the top of the loot ladder — the rest of the map pool was buffed toward it, not past it.
The safe density backs that up. According to the Season 4 launch post, a single Lockdown Zone run on the Airport map contains:
- 7 electronic safes
- 7 encrypted safes
- 1 regular safe
- 2 Strong Boxes
- 13 small safes
That is a lot of guaranteed high-value containers for one raid, and the Forbidden Zone version has "even greater" numbers of encrypted safes and Strong Boxes. On top of the fixed containers, Season 4 expanded the variety of lootable objects across the map — MoreFun specifically added car trunks, trash cans, biscuit tins, and small safes, and notes that loot can now appear on building walls. The upshot: the Airport rewards thorough searching more than any other map.
How the three difficulty tiers change the Airport
Like every ABI map, the Airport is played across three difficulty tiers named on the official store page: Normal → Lockdown → Forbidden Zone. This is not Tarkov's raid framing and there is no "Nightmare" mode — those are the three tiers, in that order.
Higher tiers raise both the loot ceiling and the entry requirement (and the danger). If you are new to the map, run it on Normal first to learn the geography and extraction routes with less on the line. Step up to Lockdown once you can navigate the tower and warehouses under pressure, and only push Forbidden Zone when your kit and your map knowledge can justify the risk — that is where the richest containers, and the best-equipped players, live.
Airport map mechanics you should actually use
The Airport isn't just a bigger loot pool — Season 4 added interactive mechanics that are unique enough to be worth planning around. From MoreFun's launch post:
- Model airplane → lucky slot machine. Collecting model airplanes around the map lets you activate a lucky slot machine that guarantees a gold miscellaneous item. This is a free high-value payout most rushers skip. If you find models, bank them.
- Password decryption. Certain areas are gated behind password decryption — decode them to "access hidden areas" and open routes other players can't. This is the Airport's version of a key room, and it rewards knowledge over gear.
- New routes and entries. The tower and terminal have "multiple points of entry and exit," and some upper-floor rooms need keys. There's persistent community talk of a secret passage into the tower — the kind of route that lets you hit the treasure room from an angle a camping squad won't expect.
These mechanics are why the Airport rewards repeat runs: the more you know where the models, decryption terminals, and key rooms are, the more value you extract per raid without adding risk.
Airport extractions — plan the exit before you enter
Extraction is where the Airport differs from the older maps. MoreFun's launch post spells it out: "In addition to the conventional extraction points, the Airport will feature new Collaboration and Special Mission Extraction Points. You can choose the most optimal route to extract safely based on your objectives."
Practically, that means your exit choice should follow your goal, not your spawn:
- Standard extractions are your default safe exits — the ones available on every run.
- Collaboration Extraction Points are tied to co-op/objective play; use them when your route or squad setup lines up.
- Special Mission Extraction Points open up around quest objectives — if you're on the Airport for a Contact mission, the mission exit is often the smarter play than the nearest generic one.
A word of caution on exact numbers: MoreFun has not published a single official list of every Airport extraction, its raid timer, or its player count, and the "interactive maps" that claim to show all of them are third-party scrapes — several are actually maps for the mobile Arena Breakout, which is a different game with a different Airport. Treat any "exact extraction list" you find on a top-up or boosting site as unverified. The reliable move is to read the extraction prompts in your own raid and learn the two or three exits closest to the areas you loot most.
Airport loot routes: three ways to run it
There's no single "correct" route, but these three templates cover most players' goals on the map:
- The greed run (Control Tower dive). Land near the center, hit the tower's high-value rooms and the key-locked upper floors, then extract fast. Highest reward, highest death rate — expect a fight in the tower almost every raid.
- The Freight/Exhibition sweep (balanced). Work one of the big side halls — Freight Center or Exhibition — clear its containers and safes, then loop toward the center only if it's quiet. Strong loot, far less immediate PvP than the tower.
- The perimeter grind (safe & steady). Stay in the outer ring — Parking Lot, Fuel Storage, and the scattered warehouses MoreFun and PCGamesN both flag as "less populated." Fewer big-ticket items, but consistent loot and the best survival rate. This is the route to build map knowledge on before you graduate to the tower.
Whichever route you pick, remember the Airport's own gimmicks: grab model airplanes for the guaranteed-gold slot machine on your way through, and note any password terminals for next time.
Is the Airport good for Koen farming?
Yes — and it's the honest answer to a common question. Because the Airport has the highest drop rates in the game, it's one of the most efficient places to earn Koen by looting and selling on the Market. Note the key economy fact for this game: you cannot buy Koen with real money in ABI — MoreFun removed that system at the 1.0 launch, so every Koen you earn comes from raids, quests, barters, and Market sales. If you're chasing Koen, the Airport's dense containers and guaranteed-gold slot machine make it a natural farm. For the full breakdown of the fastest legitimate methods, see our companion guide below.
One more economy note tied to this map: the July 30, 2026 live update buffed the settlement multipliers for the co-op Supplies Drops mode on the Airport — 1st place went from 1.4 → 2.0 and 2nd from 1.2 → 1.5. If you run Supplies Drops here, a top-placement squad now walks away with a meaningfully larger cut of the pooled loot than before that patch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Airport map called in Arena Breakout: Infinite? Its full official name is Guoyapos International Airport, introduced in Season 4: Dusk to Dawn.

How many extraction points does the Airport have? MoreFun hasn't published an exact count. Officially, the Airport has the conventional extraction points plus new Collaboration and Special Mission Extraction Points, so your best exit depends on your objective. Learn the exits nearest your usual loot areas rather than relying on third-party "full extraction" lists, some of which are actually for the separate mobile game.
