Open the budget rifleman / recovery draft in Kit Doctor →
Prepare a basic infantry kit. “Budget” is the goal; the full current price remains unconfirmed.
Season 02: check the M4 gate first
The M4 now requires Assault level 28 and a $150,000 unlock fee. The T-21 costs $1,200 and requires Assault level 3 / $10,000 to unlock; AK74 and its 30-round magazine are unlocked by default, with the rifle purchase priced at $800. These are separate weapons and partial costs, not substitutes automatically accepted by this M4 draft.
