Setup takes a few minutes: turn off Windows protection, set the game up correctly and activate your key. The bot detects scan regions on its own — no manual screen mapping anymore.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (x64)
- Game resolution 1920x1080, Fullscreen Windowed mode (on monitors above Full HD — Windowed)
- Windows display scaling strictly at 100%
- Game language set to English
- Any launcher: Arena Breakout Launcher, Steam or Epic Games
System requirements
Preparation
Disable Windows protection — that's enough for most systems.
Remove third-party antivirus and anti-cheats Kaspersky, Avast, ESET and the like, plus FaceIT and Riot Vanguard, conflict with the loader. They must be uninstalled, not just paused.
-
Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Control Panel → Programs and Features).
-
Uninstall any third-party antivirus (Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, ESET, 360, Malwarebytes, etc.). Pausing or disabling is not enough — the antivirus driver stays resident.
-
Uninstall the FaceIT AC and Riot Vanguard anti-cheats if present — they block third-party software at the kernel level.
- FaceIT is the CS2 anti-cheat, Vanguard is the Valorant one. If you don't play those games, they are safe to remove.
After removing an antivirus, restart the PC — some of its services only unload after a reboot.
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.
-
Read the full guide first and follow the steps in order — almost every problem comes from a skipped step.
-
Turn off Real-time protection manually in Windows settings: `Settings` -> `Update & Security` -> `Windows Security` -> `Virus & threat protection` -> `Manage settings` -> turn off Real-time protection.
-
If Windows turns protection back on automatically, disable it again before launching KoenFlow.
-
Set the game up — the bot reads the interface off the screen, so everything depends on these settings.
- Full HD (1920x1080) monitor: select `1920x1080` and Fullscreen Windowed mode.
- Monitor above Full HD: select `1920x1080` and Windowed mode.
- In Windows settings, set scaling (Display Scaling) strictly to `100%`. Above that the program misbehaves.
- The game language must be English.
Launch
-
After payment you receive an activation key and this guide. Example key format: `YC21-EPBM-FOAD-I82D`.
-
Download the launcher with the button at the top of the page — the file comes straight from the developer's site.
-
Install or run the application once it finishes downloading.
-
Paste the activation key you received into the corresponding field in the program.
-
Open the inventory in the game and add to favorites all the ammo you plan to trade. Remove unnecessary items from favorites — this list is exactly what the bot goes by.
- The developer recommends adding all ammo to favorites at once: that way the bot covers more profitable deals.
-
Scan regions need no setup. The bot detects the screen areas — inventory, market prices and ammo counts — automatically, manual mapping is no longer required.
-
Start the bot with F8, stop it with F9. The `Console` tab shows what the bot is doing right now: purchases, sales, skips and errors go into a live log, and any deal can be expanded to see quantity, price, profit and margin. Daily, weekly and monthly totals live in `Statistics`.
-
You don't have to touch the settings: after activation the values are already optimal and the bot can be launched right away. The section below is for fine-tuning only; when in doubt, keep the defaults.
-
Acceleration
- Speed: speeds up the bot's cycle — listings go up faster and pauses between actions get shorter. Safe to enable. Default: Off.
-
Ammo Settings
- Modify price before listing: before listing, the bot checks market prices and cuts its own by 1% to undercut competitors and sell faster. Keep it on. Default: On.
- Skip item if target price is not found: how long to wait for the target sell price. With no buyer, the bot moves on instead of getting stuck on one position. Default: 1m.
- Ammo purchase budget limit: the maximum the bot spends on ammo. It keeps your whole balance from going into ammo. Default: 30kk.
- Minimum remaining balance: the balance below which the bot makes no new purchases. Default: 15kk.
-
Trading Settings
- Modify price before listing: same logic as ammo — an automatic 1% price cut so the item doesn't sit in listings. Default: On.
- Skip item if no good price is found after: how long to wait for a suitable offer. Once it expires, the item is skipped. Default: 1m.
- List an item at any price if the desired price is not found: if the desired price never shows up, the bot lists the item at market price instead of holding it. Enable it when turnover matters more than squeezing out the maximum. Default: 1m.
-
Language Settings
- Language: switches the program interface between English and Russian. Applies instantly, no restart needed. Default: English.
Problems & fixes
The bot does not see prices or items
Screen settings are almost always the cause. Check in order: Windows scaling exactly `100%`, game resolution `1920x1080`, Fullscreen Windowed mode (or Windowed on a monitor above Full HD), game language English. Then check favorites: if the ammo you need isn't there, the bot has nothing to read in the inventory.
The launcher will not download or disappears afterwards
Windows protection takes the file. Turn off Real-time protection before downloading, open the protection history and restore the file, and add the download folder to exclusions if needed. If you get a zero-byte file — clear the browser cache (`Ctrl + Shift + Delete`), disable the ad blocker and try another browser.
The activation key is rejected
Copy the key in full from the email or the bot message, with no spaces at the edges, and don't type it by hand: `1`, `l` and `I` are easy to confuse. The key format is four blocks of four characters. If the key is correct and still rejected, contact support — we'll check its expiry and activations.
The bot stopped after an ad, a game event or a crash
Recent versions recover on their own and continue where they left off — give the bot a minute. If it is still stuck, press F9, bring the game back to the market screen and start again with F8. Check the `Console`: it shows exactly where it stalled.
The bot runs but buys nothing
Look at the limits: below Minimum remaining balance there are no new purchases, and an exhausted purchase budget limit stops buying until the session restarts. Also make sure the categories and positions you want are ticked and their markup isn't too high — with an inflated markup the bot simply finds no profitable deals and skips them.
Advanced setup — only if it still won’t launch
Use a VPN for download and activation CIS ISPs often block the activation servers. A VPN is needed while downloading the loader, activating the key and injecting — you can turn it off before joining a match.
-
Use a full VPN (an app that routes all traffic), not a browser proxy, VLESS or extension — half the support tickets come from exactly this.
-
Turn the VPN on before downloading the loader and activating the key. If something won't load, switch country (Europe or the US usually work).
-
After a successful inject you can turn the VPN off before the match to avoid extra ping.
A VPN fixes most endless-loading and "key won't activate" problems.
Update Visual C++ and DirectX Up-to-date runtimes keep the loader and overlay from crashing at start.
-
Install Visual C++ Redistributable x64 and restart the PC.
-
Update DirectX if you haven't in a while.
FAQ
Where do I get the key after payment?
The key arrives instantly after payment — it appears on the order page and lands in your email, and if Telegram is linked to your account, our bot sends a copy too. This guide opens from there as well.
How do I start and stop the bot?
Start is F8, stop is F9. KoenFlow has no in-game menu: it is a separate program with its own window, and all it needs in the game is the market screen open.
Do I need to map the scan regions?
No. Screen areas used to be marked by hand, now the bot detects them itself. All that's needed from you is one one-time step — add the ammo you trade to favorites and remove everything else.
Can I leave the bot running for a long time?
Yes, it is built for long sessions and keeps going after game events, ads and crashes. It is worth setting Minimum remaining balance so a reserve always stays on the account, and looking into `Statistics` now and then — the daily profit tells you at once whether the settings are right.
Still stuck?
Run R1XON Checker first — it pinpoints most launch problems in 30 seconds. If it still fails, attach the checker report to your support ticket and we’ll sort it out fast.
