Arena Breakout: Infinite – Quick Tips & Tricks Guide to Dominate

Part 1: Basic Training – Your First Steps in Arena Breakout: Infinite

Before you can become a legend, you must learn to walk. This section covers the absolute essentials every new operator must master. Consider this your boot camp for surviving Kamona.

Understanding the Mission: Tactical Extraction 101

1. The Core Loop: The gameplay of Arena Breakout: Infinite revolves around a simple but brutal loop: you gear up with weapons, armor, and medical supplies from your stash; you deploy into a raid on one of several maps; you fight other players (Operators) and AI-controlled soldiers (Militants); you loot valuable items; and you must survive and reach a designated extraction point to keep what you’ve found.
2. The Ultimate Price: If you die during a raid, you lose everything you brought in and everything you looted, with one exception: items stored in your secure container. This high-stakes system is the heart of the extraction shooter genre.

Choosing Your Operator: Game Modes Explained

Arena Breakout: Infinite provides several game modes, which create a structured learning curve that is far more welcoming than in other, more punishing extraction shooters. Use these modes as dedicated training tools to hone specific skills.

3. Tactical Ops (Your PMC): This is your main character, your primary operator. When you play Tactical Ops, you risk your own gear for the chance to keep 100% of the loot you extract with. This is the standard, high-risk, high-reward mode.
4. Covert Ops (Scavenger Runs): This is the ultimate risk-free way to make money and learn the game. In Covert Ops, you spawn into an ongoing raid with a completely random, free set of gear. The AI militants on the map will not be hostile to you unless you attack them first. Anything you successfully extract with is yours to keep. Use every single Covert Ops run available to you; it’s free money and, more importantly, free map knowledge without any risk.
5. Secure Ops: This is a fantastic mode for beginners looking to practice PvP. In Secure Ops, you get to keep your gear even if you die. The catch is that you only receive 40% of the value of the items you extract with, paid out in Koen (the in-game currency). This removes gear fear and lets you focus purely on the mechanics of fighting other players.
6. Lockdown & Forbidden Zone: These are high-tier, high-difficulty versions of the standard maps. They feature much better loot, tougher and more numerous enemies, and require a minimum gear value to enter. These zones are filled with experienced, heavily armed players. Do not enter them until you are confident in your skills and financially stable enough to risk expensive loadouts.

Navigating the UI and Essential Features

7. Quick Equip is Your Friend: When you’re new, gearing up can be daunting. Use the “Quick Equip” feature. The system will automatically pull recommended items like medical supplies, ammo, and magazines from your stash. If you don’t own the necessary items, it will give you the option to purchase them directly from the Market. It’s a great way to ensure you never forget essentials.
8. Use the In-Game Map: One of the biggest quality-of-life features in Arena Breakout: Infinite is the in-game map, accessible by pressing ‘M’. It clearly marks your available extraction points and major points of interest (POIs). This drastically lowers the barrier to entry for new players, allowing you to navigate with confidence from your very first raid.
9. Accept Missions from Contacts: Your primary source of income and progression early on will be missions. Navigate to the “Contacts” tab and accept tasks from characters like Joel Garrison. These missions will guide you through various in-raid objectives, such as eliminating enemies or finding specific items, and reward you with crucial XP and Koen.

Part 2: The Operator’s Mindset – How to Think in Arena Breakout: Infinite

Your gear and your aim are tools, but your most powerful weapon is your mind. Success in Arena Breakout: Infinite is dictated by a specific mindset—one that balances aggression with caution, and treats every failure as a learning opportunity.

Defeating Your First Enemy: Gear Fear

10. Gear is a Consumable: You will die, and you will lose your gear. This is not a possibility; it is a certainty. You must overcome “gear fear”—the hesitation to use your best equipment for fear of losing it. Think of your gear not as a collection to be admired, but as a key you use to unlock more valuable loot. Its purpose is to be spent to make more money.
11. Smart Fear vs. Raid Paralysis: Gear fear should exist in your stash, not in the raid. In the stash, it manifests as smart decision-making: “Is this expensive kit appropriate for a simple quest run on Farm?” In a raid, it manifests as fatal hesitation: “I hear footsteps, but I don’t want to risk my helmet by peeking.” Play aggressively, but play smart. Choose the right tool for the job, and once you’re in the field, commit to using it.

Every Death is a Lesson: The Power of the Killcam

12. Stop Making Excuses: When you die, it’s almost never because of “luck.” It’s because the other player out-positioned you, out-aimed you, or out-thought you. Accept responsibility for your deaths, because each one is a perfectly preserved lesson on what not to do next time.
13. Analyze the Killcam: Arena Breakout: Infinite provides a killcam that shows you exactly how you were eliminated. This feature is your single greatest learning tool. Watch every single one. Did they hear you coming? Were you silhouetted against the sky? Did they use a clever angle you didn’t know existed? The killcam gives you free intelligence to use in your next raid.
14. The 30-Second Vulnerability Window: The killcam is more than just a learning tool; it’s an active tactical mechanic. When you kill an enemy player, their squadmates can watch the killcam after a short delay. This means that approximately 30-40 seconds after you get a kill, your exact position will be revealed to the entire enemy team. This creates a “vulnerability window.” The takeaway is simple but critical: after you shoot, you move. Always.

Tactical Waiting vs. “Ratting”

15. Know the Difference: There is a crucial distinction between “ratting” and tactical waiting. Ratting is hiding in a corner for the entire raid, hoping someone stumbles into your sights. This playstyle will not improve your skills. Tactical waiting is holding a position based on intelligence—you heard footsteps, so you set an ambush. One is passive and fearful; the other is proactive and smart.
16. Be the Predator, Not the Prey: Your chances of success are much higher when you are the one imposing your will on the enemy, rather than reacting to them. Actively hunt, control territory, and dictate the flow of engagements.

The Risk-Reward Calculus

17. Every Choice is a Gamble: From the gear you bring to the buildings you decide to loot, every decision is a calculation of risk versus reward. The high-tier loot in the Armory’s command center is tempting, but is it worth risking a 500,000 Koen loadout? Constantly assess whether the potential gain is worth the potential loss.
18. Live to Fight Another Day: Knowing when to disengage is a skill just as important as knowing how to fight. If you are outgunned, outmaneuvered, or heavily injured with no meds, your best move is often to retreat. There is no shame in extracting with what you have and resetting for the next raid.

Part 3: From Rags to Riches – Mastering the Arena Breakout: Infinite Economy

Koen makes the world of Kamona go ’round. A healthy bank account allows you to run better gear, which in turn helps you survive and make even more money. Long-term success in Arena Breakout: Infinite depends just as much on your economic strategy between raids as it does on your combat skill within them.

The Art of Efficient Looting

19. Loot Faster, Live Longer: Time spent standing still over a body or a crate is time you are a vulnerable, stationary target. Learn to loot quickly. You can stack actions, such as starting to search a backpack while simultaneously unloading the magazines from an enemy’s rig.
20. The 5k-Per-Slot Rule: This is the golden rule of profitable looting. To maximize your income, prioritize items that have the highest value per inventory slot they occupy. A small, one-slot item worth 10,000 Koen is far more valuable than a bulky four-slot item worth 20,000 Koen. Aim for an average value of at least 5,000 Koen per slot.
21. Know What to Grab: Don’t waste time picking up every piece of junk. Focus on high-value items: rare keys, valuable weapon attachments (suppressors, scopes), high-tier ammunition, medical supplies, and military-grade electronics.
22. Strip for Parts: If you are low on space, don’t just leave a valuable weapon behind. Quickly strip it of its most expensive attachments. A scope, laser, and suppressor can often be worth more than the base weapon and take up a fraction of the space. Only take the full gun if it’s heavily modified and worth over 100,000 Koen.
23. Collapse Stocks: A simple but effective space-saving trick: many weapons have collapsible stocks. Collapsing the stock will often shorten the weapon’s inventory profile, saving you a precious row of space in your backpack.

Stash Management: The Tetris Mini-Game

24. Backpacks Within Backpacks: Your stash space is limited, but you can dramatically increase it with a simple trick. Many backpacks and chest rigs provide more internal storage space than they occupy in your stash. You can place smaller backpacks and rigs inside larger ones, creating a nested system that multiplies your available slots.
25. The Rush Tac Combo: A popular and effective storage combination is to buy a Rush Tactical Backpack, place two high-capacity chest rigs inside it, and then fill those rigs with loose items like ammo, grenades, and magazines. This can save you 10-20 slots of stash space.
26. Declutter and Sell: Don’t be a hoarder. Regularly sell items you don’t need: dog tags from players you’ve killed, non-meta weapon attachments, excess food and low-tier meds, and any armor or weapons you know you won’t use. A clean stash is an efficient stash.
27. The 50% Space Saver for Guns: To save a massive amount of space in your weapon storage, simply remove the pistol grip and the magazine from your rifles and SMGs. This will change their inventory icon from a 2×5 grid to a 1×5 grid, instantly doubling your weapon storage capacity. You can sell the grips and mags and simply buy them back when you’re ready to use the gun.

Playing the Market

28. Merchant vs. Market: You have two primary ways to sell items. The Merchant (Contacts) gives you instant Koen but at a lower price. The player-driven Market offers much higher prices, but it takes time for items to sell, and you have a limited number of weekly listing slots.
29. Market Strategy 101: Use the Market for all your high-value items. To preserve your precious weekly listing slots, sell low-value items (anything that would net you less than ~4,000 Koen after the market fee) directly to the Merchant.
30. Batch Selling: If you have multiple stacks of the same low-value item (like cheap ammo or barter goods), you can sell them in a single market slot. This is far more efficient than listing them one by one.
31. Master Deke’s Deals: Contact Deke Vinson offers barter trades that refresh regularly. Constantly check his inventory. He will often offer valuable gear, weapons, or containers for a collection of common items. If the combined market price of the barter items is less than the market price of the reward, you’ve found a profitable trade. You can use this to get cheap gear for yourself or to flip items on the market for a profit.

Part 4: The Art of the Gunfight – Combat Fundamentals in Arena Breakout: Infinite

Winning a gunfight in Arena Breakout: Infinite is often decided before the first shot is even fired. It’s a chess match of information, positioning, and exploiting the game’s core mechanics. Raw aim is important, but tactical superiority is what will consistently bring you back to the extraction point alive.

The Golden Rule: Crosshair Placement

32. Aim Where They Will Be: This is the single most impactful skill you can develop to improve your PvP performance. As you move through the map, always keep your crosshair positioned at head or upper-torso height, aimed at the corners, doorways, or angles where an enemy is most likely to appear. Most players aim at the floor. By keeping your aim high, you drastically reduce the time it takes to get on target, giving you a massive head start in every engagement.

The Unfair Advantage: Mastering the Right-Hand Peek

33. Exploit the Camera: In Arena Breakout: Infinite, your operator holds their weapon on their right side, and your point of view is slightly offset to the right. This creates a mechanic known as “peeker’s advantage.” When you peek around a corner from the right side, you expose only a small fraction of your body before you can see and shoot the enemy. When you peek from the left, you have to expose your entire left arm, shoulder, and torso before your weapon can clear the cover.
34. Always Take the Right-Hand Peek: Consciously position yourself to always take fights from the right side of cover. If an enemy is pushing you, reposition to a corner that gives you a right-hand advantage. Forcing enemies into your right-hand peek while avoiding their own is a fundamental key to survival.

Sound is Your Superpower: Audio Cues

35. Information is Ammunition: Sound is the most critical source of intelligence in this game. The audio design is incredibly detailed, and nearly every action a player takes has a unique, audible sound cue. A good headset is not optional; it is mandatory.
36. Build a Sound Library in Your Head: You must learn to identify key sounds and what they mean:
    • Footsteps: Learn the difference between sprinting, walking, and crouch-walking on various surfaces like wood, dirt, and metal.
    • Aiming Down Sights (ADS): You can hear the distinct sound of an enemy raising their weapon to aim. If you hear this, do not peek the corner. Conversely, if you hear them aim out, their arm stamina may be drained, giving you a window to attack.
    • Gear Sounds: Reloading, switching fire modes, opening your inventory, healing, and looting all have unique sounds that can give away an enemy’s position and current action.
37. Use Sound to Hunt: If you hear an enemy healing or looting, that is your signal to push aggressively. They are locked in an animation and are completely vulnerable.

Movement and Positioning

38. Stop Sprinting Like a Maniac: Sprinting is loud, drains your stamina, and prevents you from firing your weapon instantly. When you are near a high-traffic area or suspect enemies are nearby, slow down. Walk. This keeps your weapon at the ready and makes you much harder to hear.
39. Lean into Every Fight: Never peek a corner by walking your entire body out into the open. Use the lean keys (Q and E by default) to expose as little of yourself as possible while gathering information or taking a shot.
40. Jiggle-Peeking for Info: A more advanced technique is “jiggle-peeking.” Quickly tap your lean key to get a split-second glimpse around a corner. This is often fast enough to spot an enemy without them being able to react, giving you crucial information about their location without fully committing to a fight.
41. Mind Your Backdrop: Always be aware of your silhouette. Avoid standing on ridgelines where you are perfectly outlined against the bright sky. Instead, use bushes, shadows, and dark backgrounds to blend in with your environment. A well-positioned operator is much harder to spot and kill.

Part 5: Advanced Combat Tactics for the Arena Breakout: Infinite Veteran

Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, it’s time to elevate your play. Advanced combat is about manipulating your opponent’s psychology, controlling the flow of the engagement, and turning chaotic firefights into calculated victories.

The 30-Second Rule: Repositioning

42. Shoot and Scoot: As established, the killcam gives your position away. You must internalize the “shoot and scoot” mentality. After you fire your weapon—whether you get a kill or just exchange shots—you must immediately reposition. Do not re-peek the same angle. The enemy is now expecting you there. Flank to a new position and re-engage from an unexpected direction.

The Art of the Grenade

43. Grenades are Tools, Not Just Weapons: A common mistake is to think of grenades only as a means to get a kill. Their true power lies in their ability to force an enemy to move and create opportunities for you to capitalize on.
44. The Cooked Grenade: For flushing an enemy out of a small, enclosed room, “cooking” the grenade is your best bet. Pull the pin and hold the grenade for a few seconds before throwing it. A perfectly cooked grenade will explode almost on impact, giving the enemy zero time to react or escape.
45. The Uncooked Grenade (The Pusher’s Tool): This is often the more tactical option. If an enemy is holding an angle down a hallway, throw an uncooked grenade past their position. Their natural instinct will be to retreat from the grenade indicator. The moment they turn to run, you push forward aggressively. The sound of the eventual explosion will mask the sound of your footsteps, allowing you to close the distance and catch them completely off guard.
46. Baiting the Throw: If you are close to an enemy and hear the distinct sound of a grenade pin being pulled, do not run away. Rush them immediately. They will be caught in the throwing animation, with their weapon down and completely defenseless. This aggressive counter-play can turn a deadly threat into a free kill.

How to Fight Squads as a Solo

47. Divide and Conquer: The fundamental strategy for fighting a squad as a solo player is to never fight fair. Your goal is to break down a 1v4 engagement into four separate, manageable 1v1s.
48. Isolate the Target: Use movement, flanking, and patience to isolate one member of the squad from the others. Get a quick kill, and then immediately and aggressively reposition before their teammates can trade the kill.
49. Exploit Chaos and Hesitation: Most squads, especially those composed of random players, will descend into chaos when the first member goes down. They will hesitate, communicate poorly, and make mistakes. This is your window of opportunity. Use their confusion to secure a second kill or to disengage safely.
50. Patience and Sound are Your Allies: When you know you’re facing a full team, slow down. Let them come to you. Use your superior auditory awareness as a solo player (with no friendly footsteps to confuse you) to track their movements. Wait for one of them to make a mistake—like looting in the open or separating from the group—and then punish them for it.

Advanced Movement Techniques

51. The Jump-Peek: To safely gather information on what’s inside a room or around a dangerous corner, sprint and jump past the opening while using your freelook key (middle mouse button by default). This makes you an incredibly fast-moving target that is almost impossible to hit, while still giving you a clear glimpse of any threats.
52. The Drop-Shot (Last Resort Only): Drop-shotting is the act of going prone in the middle of a gunfight. In Arena Breakout: Infinite, this is a high-risk, high-reward maneuver. It can save your life if you are caught completely in the open with no cover, as it instantly changes your hitbox. However, it also makes you completely immobile. If the enemy doesn’t die, you are now a stationary target on the ground. Use this technique only as a last-ditch effort to survive.

Part 6: The Gunsmith’s Bench – A Guide to Weapons and Gear in Arena Breakout: Infinite

Your effectiveness in combat is directly tied to the gear you carry. Understanding the nuances of weapon modification, ammunition types, and protective equipment is non-negotiable for any operator who wants to consistently extract with a backpack full of loot.

The Golden Rule: Ammo is King

53. The Bullet Matters More Than the Gun: This is the most important principle of building a loadout in Arena Breakout: Infinite. A cheap, common rifle loaded with high-tier, armor-piercing ammunition is infinitely more deadly than a fully customized, meta weapon firing cheap, low-penetration rounds. Always prioritize your budget for the best ammo you can afford.
54. Understand Penetration Tiers: Ammunition is graded by its penetration level, from Tier 1 to Tier 7. As a general rule for PvP, you should always use ammunition that can reliably penetrate at least Tier 4 armor. Anything less will likely be stopped by the armor of any reasonably geared player, rendering your shots ineffective.

The Ultimate Gunsmith System

55. Unleash Your Creativity: The Gunsmith in Arena Breakout: Infinite is incredibly deep, featuring over 900 weapon modifications across more than 20 attachment slots on some firearms. You can customize nearly every aspect of your weapon to suit your playstyle.
56. Key Weapon Stats Explained: When modding, focus on these key stats:
    • Vertical/Horizontal Recoil: Lower numbers are better. This determines how much the gun kicks up and to the sides when firing. This is the most important stat for controlling full-auto sprays.
    • Ergonomics: A higher number is better. This affects how quickly you can aim down sights (ADS) and how long you can hold your aim before your arm stamina drains.
    • Accuracy: Affects the bullet spread, particularly at longer ranges. Higher is better for precision shooting.
    • Effective Range: The distance at which your bullets begin to lose velocity and damage. Higher is better for long-range engagements.

Meta Weapon Builds (When Money is No Object)

57. The FAL: Widely considered the best all-around weapon in the game. It is a hard-hitting assault rifle that is unique in its ability to fire Tier 6 ammunition, making it capable of shredding even the most heavily armored opponents.
58. The MPX: A top-tier submachine gun. It boasts an incredibly high rate of fire and, when properly modded, has virtually zero recoil, making it a laser beam in close-quarters combat.
59. The SJ16: The king of bolt-action sniper rifles. When loaded with the best.338 Lapua Magnum rounds, it is capable of one-shotting any player with a well-placed shot, regardless of their helmet.

The Best Budget Builds for Arena Breakout: Infinite

You don’t need to be a millionaire to be effective. The game’s design allows for a clear division between the “penetration meta” and the “leg meta,” enabling budget players to remain highly competitive.

60. Penetration Meta on a Budget – The SKS: This classic semi-automatic carbine is a budget powerhouse. Load it with 7.62x39mm BP (Tier 4) ammo, and you have a weapon capable of taking down geared players for a fraction of the cost of a meta assault rifle.
61. Penetration Meta on a Budget – The AK-74N: A cheap and reliable platform. It’s easy to modify for better recoil, and its 5.45x39mm PP and BP rounds are affordable Tier 3 and Tier 4 options that get the job done.
62. Leg Meta Defined: “Leg meta” is the strategy of ignoring an enemy’s expensive body armor and helmet entirely. Instead, you use cheap ammunition with high flesh damage to shoot their unarmored legs. Once a leg’s HP is depleted (“blacked out”), any further damage to that leg is distributed to the rest of the body, killing the player without ever needing to penetrate their armor.
63. Leg Meta Starter Pack – The Vector 45: This SMG has a blistering rate of fire. Load it with cheap.45 Dum Dum or AP rounds and aim for the legs. It can bring down a fully armored “Chad” in seconds.
64. Leg Meta Heavy Hitter – Shotguns: Any shotgun loaded with Type 8 buckshot is a terrifying leg meta weapon. At close range, it only takes two or three well-aimed shots to the legs to kill any player in the game. The S12K semi-auto shotgun is particularly effective for this role.

Armor, Helmets, and Headsets

65. Armor: Tier 4 Minimum: For PvP, Tier 4 armor should be your minimum. Most competent players are using ammo that makes anything less effectively useless.
66. Pay Attention to Mobility Debuffs: When choosing armor, don’t just look at the protection level. Pay close attention to the debuffs to Ergonomics and Movement Speed. A heavy Tier 6 armor might protect you, but if it makes you slow and clumsy, it could get you killed.
67. Helmets are for Ricochets, Not Stopping Power: High-tier ammo will go straight through most helmets. The primary benefit of wearing a helmet is its ricochet chance. For this reason, a cheap Tier 2 steel helmet with a high ricochet chance is often a better value proposition than an expensive Tier 4 helmet that will still be penetrated by common PvP rounds.
68. Headsets are Non-Negotiable: A headset is the most important piece of gear you can bring, arguably more so than a helmet. Headsets like the M32 amplify crucial sound cues like enemy footsteps, giving you a massive information advantage. The investment is always worth it. Never go into a raid without one.

Part 7: Field Medicine – A Deep Dive into Healing in Arena Breakout: Infinite

Surviving a firefight is only half the battle. Now you’re bleeding, your bones are shattered, and your vision is blurry. A deep understanding of the intricate medical system is what separates operators who limp to the extract from those who bleed out in a ditch.

Understanding the Health System

69. Your Body is a Resource: You have a total health pool of 440 HP, distributed across six zones: your head, thorax (chest), stomach, and your left and right arms and legs.
70. Critical Zones: Your head and thorax are critical. If the HP of either of these zones reaches zero, you will die instantly. There is no second chance.
71. The “Blacked Out” State: When any non-critical limb (arms, legs, stomach) reaches zero HP, it becomes “blacked out” or fractured. This limb is now broken and will impart negative effects (e.g., broken legs prevent sprinting).
72. Damage Spread: Once a limb is blacked out, any further damage it takes is not absorbed. Instead, that damage is amplified and distributed across all of your remaining healthy body parts. This is why it’s critical to fix broken limbs as soon as it is safe to do so.

The Optimal Healing Sequence

In the chaotic moments after a fight, healing efficiently can save your life. There is a correct, prioritized order for applying medical aid.

73. Step 1: Use Painkillers (Always First): Before anything else, pop a painkiller. This is the most critical step. Painkillers temporarily negate all negative effects from injuries, such as blurred vision from pain and the inability to sprint from broken legs. This allows you to either continue fighting or, more importantly, run to safe cover where you can perform the rest of your healing. Pre-using painkillers before an anticipated fight is a high-level tactic.
74. Step 2: Stop Bleeds (Wounds): If you have a bleeding wound (indicated by a droplet icon and draining HP), your next priority is to use a Bandage or Medkit to stop it.
75. Step 3: Fix Breaks (Fractures): Once you are in a safe location, use a Surgical Kit to repair any blacked-out limbs. This is a lengthy animation, so be absolutely certain you are hidden. A repaired limb will only be restored to 1 HP.
76. Step 4: Restore HP (Injuries): Finally, use a Medkit or First Aid Pack to restore the missing HP to all of your body parts.
77. Step 5: Manage Vitals: Remember that many painkillers and strenuous activities will drain your Hydration and Energy. Top these off with water and food to avoid taking damage from dehydration or hunger.

Know Your Meds: A Breakdown of Medical Supplies

The sheer number of medical items can be overwhelming. This cheat sheet breaks down every major status effect and its solution.

Table 1: Arena Breakout: Infinite Health & Status Effects Cheat Sheet

Status Effect	Visual Icon	Common Cause(s)	Primary Consequence(s)	Recommended Treatment(s)	Pro Tip
Injury	Reddened Body Part	Taking any form of damage.	Reduced HP on a specific body part.	Medkit, First Aid Pack	Heal head and thorax first, as they are critical zones.
Wound (Bleeding)	Dripping Blood Drop	Gunshot wounds, shrapnel.	Health drains over time.	Bandage, Medkit	Stop bleeding before restoring HP to avoid wasting medkit charges.
Break (Fracture)	Broken Bone	Limb HP reaches zero.	Prevents sprinting (legs), slows aiming/reloading (arms).	Surgical Kit	Using a surgical kit takes a long time. Ensure you are in a completely safe location.
Pain	Blurry Vision Effect	Taking significant damage.	Blurry, pulsating vision that makes aiming difficult.	Painkillers (Pills, Liquid)	Use painkillers before a fight to prevent this debuff from ever affecting you.
Dehydration	Water Drop	Running, using most painkillers.	Drains stamina, eventually causes HP damage.	Water, Juice, Energy Drinks	Liquid Painkillers do not cause dehydration, making them a top-tier medical item.
Hunger	Stomach Icon	Extended time in raid.	Drains stamina, eventually causes HP damage.	Food (Biscuits, Rations)	Always carry at least one food and one drink item for long raids.
Lung Injury	Lungs Icon	Exposure to toxic gas.	Drains HP over time, slows movement.	Nebulizer	This is a rare condition. Only bring a Nebulizer if you plan to go to maps with gas, like TV Station.
Critical Overload	Weight Icon	Carrying too much weight.	Prevents sprinting and jumping.	Strength Stimulant (temporary)	Drop your backpack before a fight to instantly shed weight and regain mobility.
Tinnitus	Ringing Ear Icon	Being too close to an explosion.	Muffled, ringing audio.	None (fades over time)	A good helmet can sometimes mitigate this effect, but there is no direct cure.

Part 8: Know Your Turf – Map Intelligence for Arena Breakout: Infinite

Map knowledge is power. Knowing the high-value loot spawns, the common player rotation paths, and the hidden angles gives you a decisive advantage. A player’s loadout should always be tailored to the map they are playing, as each environment dictates its own “meta.”

Farm Guide

78. Key POIs: The entire map revolves around the central Motel, a high-risk, high-reward area with multiple safes, weapon crates, and intense close-quarters PvP. Other valuable spots include the Stables and the Grain Trade Center, which is excellent for finding ammo and components.
79. Common Routes: Players spawning on the west side of the map will typically contest the Grain Trade Center first or push directly to the Motel. Spawns on the east will often fight over the Villa before rotating to the Motel. Expect a chaotic mid-game convergence at the Motel from all directions.
80. Key Extracts: Be aware of conditional extractions. The Southern Blockade, for example, is a convenient exit but requires you to pay a Koen fee to use it.

Valley Guide

81. Key POIs: The crown jewel of Valley is the Beach Villa in the south. It’s a massive, maze-like compound with the best loot on the map, including multiple safes and over ten weapon crates. It is also extremely dangerous. Other key locations are the Port and Noan Courtyard.
82. Tactical Considerations: Valley is a large map with long sightlines. This environment heavily favors scoped weapons like DMRs and sniper rifles. When moving across open areas, stick to the treelines and use bushes for concealment to avoid getting picked off from a distance.
83. Key Extracts: The Beach Villa has its own unique extraction point: a Helipad. To use it, you must have valuable items to pay for the flight, specifically Dog Tags taken from enemy players or a high-value Gold item.

Northridge Guide

84. Key POIs: The massive Northridge Hotel is the map’s primary hotspot, containing an incredible eight safes and fostering intense, multi-level combat. Other important locations include the Sewage Treatment Plant and the Communication Station.
85. Tactical Considerations: Northridge is huge. The distance between POIs is significant, so bringing endurance-boosting stimulants and extra food and water is highly recommended. Be mindful of engagement distances; targets may not even render on your screen beyond 250 meters, and effective firefights often begin around the 180-meter mark.
86. Key Extracts: Northridge features several complex extractions. The Dam extract requires a player to first go to the second floor to activate a console before being able to leave from the first floor. The Hotel Armored Vehicle extract requires you to deposit two enemy dog tags to call it in.

Armory Guide

87. The PvP Arena: The Armory is a high-tier, endgame map available only in Lockdown and Forbidden Zone modes. It is designed for intense, close-quarters PvP. The primary source of loot here is not from containers, but from the high-geared players you eliminate.
88. The Bunker and its Alarms: The map is dominated by a central bunker with three main entrances: Hole in the Wall, Mid, and Tank. To open any of these entrances, a switch must be activated. Doing so triggers a loud, map-wide alarm, alerting every single player that someone is entering the bunker. This makes entries extremely dangerous and contested.
89. Objectives: Inside the bunker, you’ll find multiple free and locked safes, a weapons room with rare gear, and the map’s boss, Renoir, and his elite guards. Defeating the boss is a primary objective for many squads.
90. Key Extracts: Extracting from the Armory is a challenge in itself. The Canal extract is located in the bunker’s basement, while other external extracts like Radar Station and Mine are located on the map’s perimeter and can be difficult to reach safely.

Part 9: Strength in Numbers – Squad Play in Arena Breakout: Infinite

While a skilled solo can thrive, Arena Breakout: Infinite is fundamentally a team-based game. A coordinated squad is a force multiplier, capable of dominating lobbies and securing loot far more consistently than any lone wolf.

The Power of Communication

91. Clear, Concise, and Correct Callouts: Effective communication is the lifeblood of a successful squad. Your callouts should be brief and packed with information. Use compass directions (“Enemy at 2-8-5, on the ridge!”), landmarks (“He’s inside the blue container at Port!”), and actions (“Reloading!”, “Healing!”).
92. The Discord Advantage: The game currently features team-wide global voice chat but lacks proximity chat. This means any in-game communication is audible to all teammates, regardless of distance, which can be confusing. For this reason, pre-made squads using third-party communication software like Discord have a significant advantage, as they can communicate silently and with perfect clarity.

Playing with a Coordinated Squad

93. Establish Roles: While not strictly necessary, having loose roles can improve efficiency. A “point man” can lead the way, a “marksman” can provide overwatch from a distance, and a “looter” with a large backpack can focus on grabbing valuables while others provide security.
94. Master Flanking and Pincer Movements: Never attack an enemy from the same direction as a full squad. Use your numbers to your advantage. While one or two players lay down suppressing fire from the front, have another player flank around to the side or rear for an easy kill on a distracted enemy.
95. Trade Kills: If a teammate is killed, your immediate priority should be to “trade” the kill by eliminating the enemy who shot them. A 1-for-1 trade is always better than letting an enemy get a free kill and reposition.

Surviving with Randoms

96. The Challenge of the Unknown: Playing with random teammates who may not have microphones or speak the same language is a significant challenge.
97. Use the Ping System: Even without voice chat, you can communicate effectively using the in-game ping system. You can mark enemy locations, highlight loot, and indicate where you plan to move. Pay close attention to your teammates’ pings as well.
98. Strength in Proximity: Even if your random teammates are uncooperative, simply sticking near them offers a layer of security. Their presence can deter enemies, and if a fight breaks out, they create another target that isn’t you. Remember, even a bad teammate is one less enemy on the map.
99. Observe and Adapt: Pay attention to your random teammates’ on-screen indicators. If you see their health icon flashing red, they are in a fight. If you see them stop moving for a long time, they are likely looting or healing. Use this visual information to maintain situational awareness.
