Arena Breakout: Infinite is known for its exceptional realism, featuring detailed weapon handling and complex map designs that pull players into intense, high-stakes combat. The challenging extraction shooter demands patience, careful strategy, and quick thinking, offering no hand-holding at all.
Hence, new players should be ready to face a steep learning curve as they navigate complex mechanics, including stamina management, inventory organization, and tactical engagements against both human opponents and AI enemies.
Mastery won't come overnight, but this guide with 10 essential beginner tips and tricks should ease that journey, helping players build a solid understanding of every mechanic and feature in Arena Breakout: Infinite.
Best Extraction Shooters For Newcomers To The Genre
Extraction shooters are relatively new to gamers, but some of the best will help newcomers get ready for what's next.
10 Know What to Loot, Where to Loot
Maximizes Profit, Minimizes Hoarding
Arena Breakout: Infinite has a severely time-consuming looting process that boils down to one important tip: stop trying to loot everything.
Avoid looting the basic Scavs (AI-controlled enemies) because their minimal rewards rarely justify the risk of becoming a stationary target. The same goes for every box or container, and there are dozens to find in every building.
The best loot in Arena Breakout: Infinite comes from fully-equipped players, safes, office drawers, red toolboxes, white suitcases, premium weapon cases, and tactical accessory cases—in that order.
Each map features red-marked locations where elite Scavs can be found. These enemies are worth looting, especially for under-equipped players missing a secondary weapon or looking to replace broken armor vests.
9 Equip the Knife to Run Faster
Cuts Down Travel Time
Every map in Arena Breakout: Infinite involves a considerable amount of running, so new players need to learn how to manage their Stamina effectively. The Knife drains the least amount of Stamina and maximizes mobility, allowing players to run faster, cover more ground, and be a lot more agile than they would be lugging around an assault rifle.
Hit "4" on the keyboard to pull out the Knife, but never run out on the open road!
8 Use Level 3+ Ammo Only
The Only Reliable Way to Pierce Armor
Most players will be wearing at least level 3 body armor, so plan accordingly. The only way to break through their durability is with level 3 or higher bullets. Anything lower will just bounce off their armor or do minimal damage at best.
Bringing the right rounds for the job ensures faster and more efficient kills in Arena Breakout: Infinite. However, since level 4+ bullets are expensive, stick with level 3 rounds until the higher tiers become more affordable or easier to access.
Have two different magazines: one for enemy players and one for Scavs. This way, players don't waste their expensive rounds on bots.
7 Always Use Face Shields
Protects More Than the Head
Wearing a helmet is not enough in Arena Breakout: Infinite because it leaves the face vulnerable to direct fire. Attaching a Face Shield expands the protection zone of the standard helmet, ensuring players don't die from a lucky spray in their face.
Face Shields are not as expensive as most new players think. Right-click on any helmet in Storage and use the linked search feature to find a compatible Face Shield in the marketplace.
6 Keep Meds, Food, and Grenades in the Chest Rig or Pockets
Grants Quick Access Without Digging Through the Backpack
It's not just about finding a consumable or throwable during a gunfight. Even using them can be clumsy and slow due to the number of actions involved.
A smarter trick for new players in Arena Breakout: Infinite is to move their medicines, food, water, and grenades from the backpack into the Chest Rig and Pockets via the inventory screen. This is because items in these tactical slots are instantly accessible through the quick-access wheel, saving precious seconds when it matters most.
Just hold "V" to use a consumable or throwable.
This also includes spare weapon magazines for automatic reloads, or else players will have to manually add a new clip from their backpacks.
5 Pop Painkillers Before Engaging
Helps Stay Combat-Ready, Even With Broken Limbs
Speaking of meds, make sure to preemptively use Painkillers before a potential gunfight. They allow players to keep moving and shooting even after taking damage that would normally break limbs. Staying mobile under fire can be the difference between surviving and becoming loot.
Painkillers reduce hydration levels, so don't overdose.
4 Check the Noise Levels
Learn to Stay Hidden or Hunt Smarter
Arena Breakout: Infinite wouldn't be a realistic first-person shooter without its audio cues. Every action creates noise that can alert nearby enemies. Forget gunshots, even moving while crouched or prone creates small levels of noise. Seasoned players listen closely to footsteps or subtle movement cues to track down enemies and set up ambushes.
Spending money on a good headset is more valuable than good armor. After all, landing the first shot usually means winning the fight, especially if the other person never heard it coming.
Use the "Caps Lock" to walk super slowly when sneaking behind enemies. Only the best (and most expensive) headsets in the game can reliably hear slow walks, and that too at short distances.
3 Manage the Stash Like a Pro
Stay Organized, Stay Raid-Ready
Here's an important storage tip and trick for new players in Arena Breakout: Infinite. Items can be stored in Chest Rigs that can then be stored in large backpacks. This smart inventory management helps save a lot of space. A large backpack can store multiple rigs, and they are easy to find.
Additionally, weapons can be broken down to take up less space. For example, taking out the magazine from an MP5 makes the weapon take 3 slots instead of 6. Sell the magazines because they are cheap, and buy them again when needed.
For extra space-saving, roll up empty backpacks to make them compact.
2 Quick Equip for Faster Loadouts
Gear Up Instantly Without Digging Through the Stash
Manually searching through a stash of hundreds of items to gear up can be tedious and frustrating. Instead, when starting a raid, open Quick Equip, select the gear and consumables needed, and add them to your loadout. If the items are already owned, they’ll be equipped automatically. If not, they’ll be purchased from the marketplace.
This system works perfectly for essentials like food, water, bandages, grenades, and more. It also works to find (and automatically pull) gear that players have stored inside Chest Rigs to save space, as noted in the tip above.
1 Prioritize Completing Missions
The Fastest Way to Level Up
One of the best tips for beginners in Arena Breakout: Infinite is to focus on completing missions as soon as possible. The tactical first-person shooter offers dozens of basic, weekly, and seasonal missions to go through, each rewarding a good amount of XP to level up, money to spend, and valuable gear like backpacks and weapons.
Most importantly, completing missions is also how players can increase their storage space in Arena Breakout: Infinite. Two specific mission rewards add a total of 300 additional spaces, but that requires players to complete over 20 missions.
