Kettle Budget Build
· Budget / Starter · Kettle TI
The cheapest viable loadout in ARC Raiders. Kettle I with a vertical grip is all you need to start extracting.
Attachments: Vertical Grip I
Augment: None
Shield: None
Quick Use: bandage, energy-drink
Why This Build Works
- Extremely cheap at 840c for Tier I — affordable after one successful extract
- Light ammo is the most abundant and cheapest ammunition type
- Low financial risk — easy to insure and replace
- Vertical grip eliminates most vertical recoil for accurate follow-up shots
- Great starter weapon for learning map layouts and extraction points
Pro Tips

- Aim for headshots — semi-auto rewards precision over spray
- Avoid long-range engagements (low bullet velocity makes leading shots harder)
- Upgrade to Rattler or Tempest as you accumulate wealth
- Insure Tier I — the 840c buy-in is worth protecting your run
