Dust to Gold Prep: Your Kamona Launchpad
Pre-season Dust to Gold is all about piling up Koens before Dec 18 – trader flips, smart looting, strategic hoarding. You can pull >1M daily from flips, farms, and Covert Ops. Thermals? Snag 'em at 50k, flip for 150k (100k profit). M110 goes 34k to 112k (78k). T4 armor: 34k buy, 56k sell (22k). Covert Ops Lv5 nets 100k per run; Militant Scavenger? 100-300k.
- Hit Deak Vincent every 2h – refreshes at 10PM PST.
- Buy the dips on reset, sell peaks on flea during evenings or weekends.
- Queue those 15-min Covert Ops for 150k-500k, zero risk.
Ever wonder why this timing crushes it? Trader stocks cycle predictably – miss it, and you're chasing shadows.
Kamona Economy Shake-Up: What Changes Pre-Dec 18
Dump your overstock now, hoard the meta must-haves. Flea beats contacts by 20-30% on anything >5k/slot. GOLD Cups at 270k, Pens 450k; RED Mythicals like Teapots, Gem Necklaces, Gold Lions – all >5k/slot. T6 ammo racks? 1,909 Koens for 60 rounds. Hoard 'em.
- Sell <5k/slot to contacts (post-fee); >5k/slot hits flea.
- Detach grips and mags to halve width, auto-sell junk under 10k.
- Watch evenings for T4 M80 ammo spikes.
Arena Breakout Bonds recharge global via BitTopup – competitive rates, instant delivery, secure and compliant. Top ratings don't lie; it's a lifesaver for quick top-ups.
Prime Looting Targets: What to Grab Pre-Season
Rush safes, med/large cases (20-50k a pop), weapons, armor, T6 ammo racks. Motel yields 3 safes/3-4 cases; Valley Beach Villa for attachments; Radar Station gear; Northridge Hotels A-D or Sewage for 8 safes (500k-800k total).

- Motel rush → Stables → south extract: SKS/shotguns, ammo/attachments over 2k.
- Unfold those 3-layer BPs, strip weapons (ditch mag/grip).
- Lock down GOLD/RED >5k/slot, keys up to 1.85M container.
Weapons & Attachments: BM59 Carbine under 100k (base 4k + EKP 10k + rail/sup/mag); MPX at 88k (850 RPM +9x19 AP6.3). Medical & Rigs: Battlefield Medkit with 400 durability + Std Mil FA; B3 Rig (12 ext/16 int, +4 net). Hoard surgical kits/TMK (8 uses). (Editor note: TMK's a clutch heal – I've clutched raids on fumes with it.)

Quick-Flip Goldmines: Sell These for Fast Koens
Deak Vincent flips rule: thermals, M110, T4 armor, 120-round M855 packs. Supps 30-50k, NV helmets 40k+. M855? 21k buy to 57k sell (36k profit). Stack >1M daily from flips + 200-400k farms. T4 armor nets 22k each.
- Buy on 2h resets, flea evenings/weekends.
- Trash <5k/slot; RED/GOLD straight to flea.
- Chain quests – deliveries 15-30k, Supply Run collections.
Flea Arbitrage: >5k/slot? 20-30% edge over contacts. Evenings crush M80 peaks. It's not rocket science – just market savvy.

Hoard Like a Pro: Gear Up for Kamona Meta
Pile T6 ammo/materials, surgical kits, 9-slot Titanium Case for MCX/AK-12. T6 M61? 714 pen/682 dmg – one-taps T6 helmets. Racks at 1,909/60 rounds. Large Misc Case gives 7x12 slots.
- Post-reset hoard: T6 racks, meds first.
- Stash Tetris – sell T3 armor/food; clear 3x3 tasks.
- Koen Chest (7x3) missions? Priority.
Kamona Meta: T6 ammo +40 accessories; TMK shines despite 20% penalty. Storage Hacks: Daisy-chain B3 Rigs; unfold packs for meds. (My take: Over-hoarding kills flips – balance is key.)
instant Arena Breakout Bonds top up on BitTopup: fast credits, solid support, full coverage, zero downtime.
Sell or Hoard? Your Decision Matrix
Flip thermals (50k+), M110 (78k), T4 armor, RED/GOLD >5k/slot. Hoard T6 ammo/materials.

- Sell: Supps/NV helmets/T4 gear.
- Hoard: Ammo racks/surgical kits/Titanium Case.
- Trash: <5k/slot.
Ammo trumps guns/armor every time; <100k budgets get 31% survival boost. Weigh >5k/slot flea vs. contacts – flips cycle 150-500k.
Your Daily Pre-Season Routine, Step by Step
2h trader checks/10PM refresh; <100k loadouts on farms; insure T5+. Motel-Stables/Valley Villa farms 100-300k/hr; Covert Ops 150k-500k/run; quests 7.5k-30k.
- Flip traders every 2h.
- Farm Motel → Stables south (prone/crouch – 60% audio reduction).

- Post-raid: Flea >5k, insure via email (skip ammo/meds).
Raid Planning: 15-20min runs. Green fixed opp, Orange Normal 10min/Valley Heli 2 dogtags.
Pitfalls to Dodge – And How
Gear fear kills (ammo > armor), don't sell T6, insure smart – skip T4+ bosses. SJ6/T5+ insurance recovers unlooted loot; solos snag 20% more.
- 60-70% budget on T4+ ammo (top-load 10-20 premium).
- Crouch-walk over sprint; headphones for footsteps/gunfire.
- Bail at 60-70% red audio; reposition 30s after shots.
Biggest Traps: Hoard overload vs. flips; market > contacts for >5k/slot. Seen it bury newbies.
