### Base weapons

When a player opens BR1: INFINITE for the first time, they receive a set of base weapons to use in game. These weapons can be added to your [Inventory: Loadout & Backpack](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-gameplay-and-controls/inventory-loadout-and-backpack) so you spawn with the items you want on your hot bar.

### Weapon skins

Players can customize their in-game experience by acquiring unique weapon skins for each weapon. Beyond aesthetics, these skins also grant an [Earnings Retention Bonus (ERB)](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/earnings-retention-bonus-erb), adding both style and strategic value to gameplay.\
\
ERB bonuses go up to **5% per weapon skin** and can be stacked to reach the cap. Players can equip up to **10 weapon skins plus 1 Operative** to achieve the highest earnings bonus possible.

### Weapon skin rarity

Weapon skins and weapon sets vary in rarity, similar to [BR1: Operatives](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-operatives). The look and ERB value both depend on how rare the skin or set is.
