Apocalypse Rising 2 Starter Kits & Gamepasses

Why starter kits exist in Apocalypse Rising 2

Apocalypse Rising 2 by Dualpoint Interactive (Roblox place 863266079) is free-to-play since July 1, 2022. You can clear every military site, farm elite Infected, and chase L96A1 drops without spending a Robux. Starter Kit gamepasses only change what you spawn with on a fresh life. They do not unlock exclusive endgame rifles, secret islands, or permanent inventory slots.

On May 15, 2026, Dualpoint added a Starter Kit menu on the Character tab plus four paid kits—Bandit, Survivalist, Hunter, and Veteran—alongside free options beyond the classic Snubnose loadout. This page compares each kit, prices, and honest value so you can decide before you click Buy. For the full pass list and buying tips, start at the Gamepasses Hub. Pair kit choice with getting started habits and the weapon tier list so you still upgrade off the beach kit within minutes.

Core rule: everything in every paid kit is world-lootable. If a store thumbnail implies you need Robux to survive, ignore it. There are also no redeemable codes that grant free passes.

Apocalypse Rising 2 starter kits overview

Free kits — Snubnose, Knife & Beans, Beans Only

Before you spend, open the kit selector and learn the free rows:

Free kit	What you get	Best for
Default Snubnose	Weak .45 ACP revolver, Pocket Knife, beans, drink, basic meds	Standard learning path
Knife & Beans	Melee + food, no firearm	Stealth challenge / quieter starts
Beans Only	Food only—no melee, no equipment	Hardcore / content creators

The Snubnose kit is the intended beginner spawn: a short-range revolver that should be replaced the moment you find any better pistol or automatic. Use the knife on Infected so you do not broadcast gunfire. Knife & Beans and Beans Only are optional challenge modes Dualpoint shipped with the same update—they teach map knowledge faster because you cannot lean on a free sidearm.

If you are brand new, stay on Snubnose until you can reliably loot a backpack and an automatic on a free life. Buying a kit before you know Halsey vs Faris routes usually wastes Robux on comfort you will outgrow in a week.

Paid starter kits compared

All four paid kits also include beans and a Pocket Knife on top of their themed gear.

Bandit — 250 R$

Theme: Cheap early PvP opener.

Typical spawn: Makarov, three extra mags, a box of 9mm Soviet, a soda, and a Flashlight. Notably light on medical supplies.

Worth it? Best budget pick if you already know small-town routes and die to players more than to thirst. The Makarov beats the Snubnose in practical close fights, but you still need to loot meds immediately. Skip Bandit if your deaths are mostly infection, bleeding, or night navigation—Survivalist solves those better.

Survivalist — 400 R$

Theme: Stay alive long enough to loot.

Typical spawn: P38, two extra mags, a box of 9mm Parabellum, Water, Small Medkit, Bandage, Health Booster, Lantern, and Binoculars.

Worth it? Strongest choice for newer players and anyone who rage-quits after starving or bleeding out. Binoculars and the lantern teach information and night movement habits that transfer to free kits later. The P38 is still a temporary sidearm—your real goal remains a backpack and full-auto from the loot guide loop.

Hunter — 500 R$

Theme: Aggressive pressure and Infected farming starts.

Typical spawn: Coach Gun, a box of 12 Gauge, a Sports Drink, a Stamina Booster, one Bandage, and a Survival Flashlight.

Worth it? Buy when you already survive consistently on free or Survivalist spawns and want shotgun pressure for early fights or special Infected routes. Coach Gun is loud and short-ranged—great for door peeks, terrible for open fields. At the same 500 R$ price as Veteran, pick Hunter only if you prefer CQC aggression over balanced pistol + military meds.

Veteran — 500 R$

Theme: Balanced combat head start.

Typical spawn: M1911, two extra mags, a box of .45 ACP, two Military Field Dressings, and a Military Flashlight.

Worth it? Best default 500 R$ kit for mixed PvEvP. Field dressings matter more than people admit after the first gunfight, and the M1911 is a cleaner all-rounder than Bandit’s Makarov for players who take mid-range peeks. If you only buy one combat kit and already manage hunger, take Veteran.

Side-by-side decision table

Kit	Robux	Primary vibe	Buy if…	Skip if…
Bandit	250	Budget PvP pistol	You want the cheapest gun start	You die to needs/bleed
Survivalist	400	Sustain + tools	You are learning the loop	You already never starve
Hunter	500	Shotgun aggression	You farm fights / Infected up close	You hate CQC reloads
Veteran	500	Balanced combat	You want one strong all-rounder	You only care about cosmetics

2x Infected Loot Drops — 500 R$

This is not a spawn kit. It permanently doubles drop chances from Infected for cosmetics, consumables, and utilities for the player who gets the kill. It does not double weapon or backpack drops—Infected that always drop guns or bags still drop them the same way.

Worth it? Yes for fashion collectors, booster hoarders, and players who already clear Infected efficiently. Low priority for brand-new survivors who still need map knowledge. If your goal is rifles, spend time on tier list routes and military crates instead of this multiplier. For Infected behavior and farming context, see the Infected guide.

Premium Hair Colors — 75 R$

Unlocks a wider hair color set in character customization. Purely cosmetic, cheapest pass, zero combat power.

Worth it? Only if looks matter to you. Never buy Premium Hair expecting loot, damage, or spawn items. Buy kits or 2x Infected first if you are choosing between cosmetic and power-adjacent passes.

Are any passes required?

No. Apocalypse Rising 2 expects most of the population to succeed without Robux. Practical free path:

1. Learn the getting started checklist—backpack, automatic, food, meds.
2. Upgrade weapons with the tier list so you stop clinging to novelty pistols.
3. Squad in groups of up to five; shared meds beat any 250 R$ sidearm.
4. Ignore fake codes promising free kits.
5. Confirm live pass contents in the official Roblox store—Dualpoint can retune bundles.

Buying and account tips

• Purchase only through the official Roblox gamepass prompt inside AR2 or the game’s store page.
• Passes bind to your Roblox account; sharing credentials violates Roblox rules and risks bans.
• Xbox and PS5 (supported since May 1, 2026; PS4 unsupported) use the same entitlements when Roblox cross-buy applies—confirm before double purchasing.
• “Unlock all gamepasses” scripts are account thieves. Read the Scripts Hub warnings.

Spend deliberately, loot obsessively, and remember meta guns still come from the world—not the Robux catalog.
