PAY $ TO SPAWN. EARN $ PER KILL.
*** ## How the BR1 game loop works BR1 runs on persistent, always-live servers. There are no traditional “matches” with a fixed start and end. Instead: * You **DEPOSIT** funds to spawn into the world * You **EARN** funds for each player you eliminate * If you **DIE/SURVIVE**, you must pay to respawn {% hint style="info" %} In BR1: INFINITE, the game server never stops, only your session ends until your next spawn. {% endhint %} *** ## Risk servers and stakes Each game mode has a different entry cost with a structure that scales: * **FREE SERVERS** *(used solely for practice & levelling up)* * **RISK SERVERS** *($0.25, $0.50, $1.00, $5.00)* {% hint style="info" %} **EXAMPLE: $1 GAME MODE** * User pays $1.00 to spawn * User earns $1.00 per elimination (excluding 'BR1 Service Fees') {% endhint %} Each Risk Mode features a different entry cost and payout structure, allowing players to select their desired level of risk. Performance directly determines profitability. {% hint style="info" %} *Maintain a* *minimum* *1.3 K/D ratio (1.13 K/D if maxed-out* [*ERB*](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/earnings-retention-bonus-erb)*) on Risk Servers to be profitable.* {% endhint %} *** ## How players earn in BR1 BR1 offers multiple earning paths, each rewarding different playstyles and strategies. Players can strategize their goals to maximize earnings. Not all players play for the same goals, and so mastering each type of earning mechanism is critical. Players can generate revenue through: * [Eliminations](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/elimination-and-survival) // **Kills -** *guaranteed earnings* * [Cash Drops & Extractions](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/cash-drops-and-extractions) // **Looting for Cash -** *requires extracting without dying* * [Kill Races](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/kill-races) // **Tournaments -** *place in the top of the event leaderboard for cash* Players can also: * Earn [BR1 Points](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-points) from Playing, Looting, & Renting, and spend them on items in the [Store](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-store). * Earn [XP and Level Up](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-xp-and-leveling) from Spawning & Eliminating, and unlock items from the [Infinite Pass](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-infinite-pass). {% hint style="info" %} Players maximize their earnings if they consistently: * Eliminate opponents * Successfully extract loot * Rank on Kill Race Leaderboards * Max out their *Earning Retention Bonus* * Maintain a high K/D ratio (maximizing kill vs spawn ratio) {% endhint %} *** ## Operatives, weapons, and ERB Depending on the [BR1: Operatives](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-operatives) and [BR1: Weapons](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/br1-weapons) you have equipped, users can increase their profitability by maximizing their [*Earnings Retention Bonus (ERB)*](https://litepaper.bravoready.com/br1-infinite-guide/br1-infinite-guide/br1-game-ecosystem/earnings-retention-bonus-erb).\ \ This bonus reduces the 'BR1 Service Fee' and increases the base profit of every elimination achieved. An in-game asset's *ERB* can be found in its description and metadata. Each item's *ERB* is fixed and cannot be changed, making some more valuable than others on secondary markets.
