Short version: no, Arena Breakout: Infinite does not wipe your stash. Unlike Escape from Tarkov, there is no season-boundary reset that empties your inventory, zeroes your Koen, or resets your account level. What does reset each season is your season rank and your seasonal missions / battle pass — the ladder you climb for that season's rewards. Your gear, your money, your character level, and everything you've unlocked carry straight over. This guide breaks down exactly what resets and what survives, verified for Season 6: White Nights (live since June 30, 2026).
Key Takeaways (TL;DR)
- ABI does not run Tarkov-style full wipes. Your stash, Koen, character level, Bonds, unlocked maps, and main mission progress all persist across seasons. Morefun has never announced a stash wipe.
- What actually resets: your season rank (the seasonal competitive ladder) and seasonal missions / season pass progress. Morefun's own Season 6 announcement tells players to "Hit your target rank before the season resets!" — rank, not stash.
- Seasons run roughly 12–13 weeks. The last three: Season 4 (Jan 8, 2026) → Season 5 (Apr 2, 2026) → Season 6 (Jun 30, 2026). That cadence points to a Season 7 around late September / early October 2026 — but no Season 7 date has been announced, so treat that as an estimate only.
- This is the #1 confusion on the keyword: the mobile game Arena Breakout (no subtitle) does wipe stash, Koen and reputation each season. Arena Breakout: Infinite on PC does not. They are two different games from the same studio.
- Mastery Points "reset" is a good thing: every Operator's Mastery Points are fully refunded on reset, and you can respec freely any time outside a raid at no cost.
Does Arena Breakout: Infinite wipe your stash?
No. There is no mechanic in Arena Breakout: Infinite that empties your stash at a season boundary. The items you've looted, the weapons you've built in the Gunsmith, the Koen you've banked, and the Bonds you've bought all remain in your account when a new season starts.
This is the single biggest expectation gap for players coming from other extraction shooters. Escape from Tarkov built its whole progression rhythm around periodic wipes — everyone resets to zero, re-levels traders, and re-builds their stash. Arena Breakout: Infinite deliberately did not copy that model. Morefun's seasonal posts never promise or schedule a stash wipe; the only thing they ever tell you to race against is your rank before the season ends.
If you took a few seasons off and came back to find your account intact but the meta unfamiliar, that's expected: your stuff stayed, but the balance patches, new maps, and seasonal systems moved on around it.
What actually resets at the end of a season?
Two things reset, and neither of them touches your gear:
- Season rank. This is the seasonal competitive ladder — a separate track from your character level. You climb it through raids during the season, and it resets when the next season begins. Morefun runs end-of-season "double points" sprints precisely to help you push rank before the reset. From the official Season 5 announcement: "Double points will start on March 24th. Boost your rank before the season ends."
- Seasonal missions and the season pass. The season's mission set and battle-pass track are time-boxed. Progress and the associated reward tracks reset for the new season. Limited-time seasonal activities also expire — for example, Morefun noted a specific S5 event was "limited to the final days of S5 and will not carry over to Season 6."
There's also a friendly kind of reset worth calling out: Mastery Points. The Mastery System (added in Season 6) hands every Operator points to allocate, and Morefun states plainly that "All spent Mastery Points are fully refunded upon reset." You never lose progress there — you just get your points back to re-spend, and you can respec any time outside a raid for free.
What carries over between seasons?
Everything that represents your account's wealth and progression persists. Here's the split:
| Resets each season | Persists across seasons |
|---|---|
| Season rank (seasonal ladder) | Your stash and all items in it |
| Seasonal missions / season pass progress | Koen (looted in-raid currency) |
| Limited-time seasonal event progress | Bonds (premium currency) |
| Mastery Points (refunded, not lost) | Character level and account progression |
| — | Unlocked maps and main mission progress |
| — | Gunsmith builds, skins, and cosmetics |
The practical upshot: the grind you've done on your account is safe. A new season is a fresh competitive slate (rank, missions, seasonal rewards), not a fresh economic slate.
How long is an Arena Breakout: Infinite season, and when is the next reset?
Morefun hasn't published a fixed season length or a Season 6 end date, but the launch cadence of the last three seasons is consistent:
- Season 4: Airport Hunt — launched January 8, 2026 (added the Airport map)
- Season 5: Distortion — launched April 2, 2026
- Season 6: White Nights — launched June 30, 2026 (still live)
That's roughly a 12–13 week season each time. Extending the pattern lands the next reset — a hypothetical Season 7 — somewhere around late September to early October 2026.
Two important caveats. First, that date is an inference from cadence, not an announcement. As of mid-August 2026, Morefun has not revealed a Season 7 name or date, and there is no published Season 6 end date. Anyone printing a specific "wipe date" for ABI is guessing. Second, remember that even when Season 7 lands, it's a rank/mission reset, not a stash wipe — so "when does ABI wipe" is, strictly, the wrong question. The right question is "when does the season rank reset," and the honest answer today is late September–early October 2026, unconfirmed.
Why do people think Arena Breakout: Infinite wipes? (mobile vs PC)
Most of the "does Arena Breakout wipe" confusion comes from mixing up two different games:
- Arena Breakout (no subtitle) is the mobile game (iOS/Android), and it does run seasonal wipes — it resets stash, Koen and reputation on a seasonal cycle, closer to the traditional wipe model.
- Arena Breakout: Infinite is the PC (Windows-only) game on Steam and the Epic Games Store, and it does not wipe stash, Koen, level or Bonds.
They share a name, a studio (Morefun Studios), and a lot of DNA — but they have separate seasons, separate season numbering, and separate economies. Mobile "Season 7" is not the same thing as ABI "Season 7." If you searched "does Arena Breakout wipe" and landed on a page describing full stash resets, double-check whether it was written about the phone game. On PC, your stash is safe.
Does the season rank reset hurt my account?
Not in any way that costs you gear. Season rank is a prestige/competitive ladder, not a wealth store. Resetting it gives everyone a level playing field to compete for the new season's rank rewards. Your account level — the persistent one tied to unlocks and gates like Lv. 26 (Mastery Points) and Lv. 30 (Supply Passes) — keeps climbing and never resets.
If anything, the reset is designed to be forgiving: refunded Mastery Points, free respecs, and end-of-season double-point sprints that let you bank rank rewards before the cutover. The only real "loss" is unfinished seasonal missions and any limited-time event track you didn't complete before it expired — which is why it's worth doing a pre-reset cleanup.
What should you do before a season resets?
Since your stash is safe but your seasonal progress is not, the pre-reset checklist is about cashing in time-limited value, not protecting gear:
- Finish your seasonal missions and season pass tiers. These reset. Anything you haven't claimed on the seasonal track is the only progression you can actually lose.
- Push your season rank during double-point windows. Morefun runs end-of-season rank sprints; that's the cheapest time to bank rank rewards before the ladder resets.
- Clear any limited-time event tracks. Live events (like the current Kamona Summer Festival, running since August 13, 2026 with staggered end dates through mid-September) have their own deadlines independent of the season.
- Don't panic-sell your stash. There's no reason to dump items "before the wipe" — there is no wipe. Sell on the Market when prices are good, not out of reset fear.
- Bank your Koen normally. It carries over. The old Early Access habit of "spend it all before reset" no longer applies.
A note on buying Koen (don't)
Because your Koen persists and there's no wipe to reset a bad economy, some players look for shortcuts. Be careful: Morefun bans real-money Koen trading for both buyers and sellers. Its official anti-trading policy confiscates illicitly obtained profits, lowers the buyer's Merit Score, and escalates to bans — its fortnightly ban notices routinely log hundreds of ten-year bans and device/IP bans, under a stated "0% tolerance" policy with retroactive review. The purchase-Koen system that existed in Early Access was deleted at the 1.0 launch in 2025. Earn Koen in-raid, flip on the Market, and build Contact reputation for better barter trades — that's the intended, ban-safe path.
FAQ
Does Arena Breakout: Infinite wipe every season? No. ABI does not wipe your stash, Koen, character level, or Bonds at any season boundary. Each new season resets your season rank and seasonal missions / season pass, but your account's items and currency persist. Morefun has never announced a stash wipe for the PC game.
When is the next Arena Breakout: Infinite wipe / season reset? There's no confirmed date. Season 6: White Nights launched June 30, 2026 and is still live as of mid-August 2026, with no Season 6 end date or Season 7 date announced. Based on the ~12–13 week cadence of Seasons 4–6, the next rank reset would fall around late September to early October 2026 — an estimate, not an official date.
Do I lose my stash when a new season starts in ABI? No. Your stash and everything in it carries over to the new season. The only things that reset are season rank and time-boxed seasonal content. There is no "wipe day" that empties your inventory.
Does Arena Breakout on mobile wipe? Is that the same as ABI? The mobile game Arena Breakout (no subtitle) does run seasonal wipes that reset stash, Koen and reputation. Arena Breakout: Infinite on PC is a separate game and does not wipe. Don't apply mobile wipe rules to the PC version — that's the most common source of confusion on this question.
What happens to my Mastery Points when the season resets? They're fully refunded. Morefun's Season 6 rules state that all spent Mastery Points are returned upon reset, and you can respec freely any time outside a raid at no cost. You don't lose Mastery progression.
Should I spend all my Koen before the season ends? No. Koen carries over between seasons, so there's no benefit to dumping it before a reset. That habit came from the Early Access era and no longer applies. Spend and save Koen on your own schedule.
