Playing Arena Breakout: Infinite in 2026...

Tommo, you know, I've got this gas mask. Can you throw a gas grenade at me cuz I want to see if it actually protects me. Uh, yeah. Just a little bit of a science experiment here. Do it. Gas coming out. See if this gas mask actually works. Hit me with it. That's a frag grenade. Welcome back to Arena Breakout Infinite. I've not played this game since it was in beta in May 2024. It's been almost 2 years. I enjoyed it back then on first impressions, and since that point, the game has seen significant updates, and they invited me, Tommo, and Will to an early preview of the season 5 content. and sponsored the video today. There was a few different reasons that I was interested in coming back and checking this out. Number one, this is a free-to-play game, so anyone can try it. It's like a more accessible Tarop extraction game on Steam. Number two, they removed all of the pay to- win elements. That's never a good thing, of course, so it was great to see them rectify that. Number three, they added proximity chat. Always good fun. And number four, while the game is still a hardcore extraction shooter at its core, the new season is a bit spooky and has some SCP vibes to it. There's a new version of the valley map called Distorted Valley. And while I'm not going to spoil everything in the intro, there's some weird stuff happening here. They're calling it horror light. And for whatever reason, the tactical shooter genre mixed with a sprinkle of horror does something for me. I don't know what that says about me, but there it is. So, you're going to see some of that weirdness unfolding as we play. And the longer that you stay in the map, the more dangerous it becomes, and extraction options are decreased. You can also choose between one of four ability perks in this map. Now, too, there's two new guns this season, the FAMAS and the T-192, as well as a rebalance of red ammo and six new red items. So, with that said, I'm going to show you what the game is like now on the new distorted valley map. And I've got all the graphics maxed out so you can see all the bells and whistles. And this is myself, Will, and Tommo playing for the first time, coming back to the game for a few rounds, exploring, and getting into some intense PvE VP battles. I hope you guys enjoy this. If you do, drop a like. Thank you. And the link to check out the game for yourself is in the description below. Let's get it. What do you think about this? Whoa. That's your ability, is it? Yeah. Let's see you, lads. What does your ability do? I can move faster, but I can't be shot at, but I can't shoot. What do you do, Will? I send out a blinding pulse. I've got a bulletproof wall. Look at that. You think about that? Wa wa bulletproof wall cuz it's all disorientating when you get close. Oh, bulletproof wall is that you can pass through. Very interesting. How weird is that? That's anomalous activity. I would say someone's going to know the spawns already. Rotate and kill us. It's a bit Harry Potter, though, isn't it? Look at that. It's got a flat tire. I've seen that, Jack. It's just floating there. There is a truck floating in the air. I don't know if you guys can see that. Right. I've put a mark on port. Let's go. You want to go to ports? Yeah.

He's like, keep your eyes peeled for anomalous activity, lads. All right. Look at those floating containers. Should we get up on this ridge here and have a look? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there is a boat. Oh, there is a big ship. There's a floating water leaking from it. You see that? Can we get there? The endless stream of No. Well, on the ship. Imagine. Surely not. Unless there's some sort of teleport. There's an enemy here. Oh, killed him. Are you getting sniped? No, I'm trying to take out the AI. Oh, well done. Well done. Does that sound like a sniper? You've done great work there, mate. You've done great work. There's a phone booth down there, and we can use that to extract a guy here. Whoa. Hey. Oh, he's dead. Careful. I'll take this guy's stuff. Oh, yeah. I'm not seeing any weird horror things yet. Uh, is that the bell? That is the bell. It's going to get weirder. I will say that the sea is red here. As if there were a giant shark. Well, that's right. The crimson sea. The crimson sea. That's what he meant by the crimson sea. Jack, I think there's a player over there. Let me check this out. Oh, yeah. What are you looking for then? Are we losing this? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, guys, there's something there. There's a weird mannequin. Where? I don't like that. There's weird. No, trust me. I've played SCP games. These are not just mannequins. Oh, yeah. They're not going to be mannequins, are they? I think we take the fight to them. Get up here. He's losing it, Will. He's absolutely losing it. It's just a mannequin. What's wrong with you? A mannequin and nothing else. Calm down. Okay, these one these ones look a little bit creepy. I'll give you that. Then who's who's positioned them like that? Calm down. I'll have a look at that. Oh, there is blood. There's blood. That the blood came off that one. They've positioned themselves, some and they're going to come alive and ruin us. I'm telling you. How can there be blood when Are you telling me there's weeping angels in this game?

Have you not Have you not watched Doctor Who, Will? the the hit TV show Doctor Who? Not since I was a child. You don't remember the Weeping Angels? The statues that would just I'll take you away.

Yes. You killed it. Die, foul mannequin. Foul mannequin. Shoot her in the head. Uh, it's a normal mannequin. There's AI yelling at me. I don't like that. Unless it was the mannequin. Ow. O, that was my son. I can hear something in the woods there. There's a ball. Let's go to the ball. But with me. Can we clear this first before we go for the ball? We did hear footsteps. I heard them, too. I'm drawn to the orb, guys. I'm drawn to it. Forget the orb. AI. It's AI man. It's an AI. It's an AI man. Don't worry. Just gone. What if that was a full team and we just died?

Oh, that's not quite as scary as I thought it would be. A coin. It's a a friendly anomaly. A frenomaly. Can we go further into the map? Did you hear the gunshots across the bay? Well, that's going to be real people. All right. So, here. Jack, you're not being tactical enough. I am very tactical, Will. You're not taking it serious. We're going to do this. Is this tactical enough for you? This is This is what they do in the real army to cross the cross terrain. Yeah, they do this today in the real army. Miles for miles. Some some useful info for you, boys. In this game, you always want to be prone when you're looting. Right. Even if you look in a random box in a room, low profile. I'm going to disregard that information. Yeah. Immediately forget that information. I will forget that very quickly. I've put a ping on our next POI. We're heading out. Oh, up here, Tom. Yeah. The beach head. Oh my. Yo, John Travolta called bit of a disco. Is it? There's some black smoke coming out of here. That's uh precarious. Turn off. Oh, there we go. Let's get that off. It's nice. It looks like a fruit pastel lolly. It does. Yeah. I heard we're just along this road. Good anomalous activity. And I saw movement. Another ball. Another ball. A bigger ball. Oh, that's a giant ball. That's more a giant ball. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Let's go. Person. Oh, yep. AI. AI on the right. On the right. Dead. Very tactical. I can hear gunshots suppressed in front of us over the hill. Let's wrap around this building on the left. Hard cover. We're going to look right. There's a rig. I can't fit it. Wait, what's this here? Big container there. This is something. There's a red phone box. It was like London. It's just a little uh cooker, isn't it? Oh, no. It doesn't seem This is not a good time. Start devotion.

Am I balancing the scale? End devotion. It's done. Now what happens? Rapidly. Well, they've done a good devotion there. Devotion seven. I don't know. That really hurt me actually. My arm is gone. Way. Oh, you can weigh it. Oh, there you go. Walkie-talkie. A transceiver. What do we do with that? We transceive. I hardly know it. But it's a purple item worth 20,000. Is this one nice? It'll be fine. Giant giant orb. Oh, dead head. Dead head. Can you cover me while I resonate? More gunshots. More gunshots. Jack, I think you're prioritizing the wrong things here. Please cover me. Clear it first. Dead is dead. Here we go. Tactical. I'm being very tactical. Stairs dead ahead. Single fire. Coast activated. Someone's extracting. Okay, I'm going for the orb. Grab the orb. Resonating. Basically empty on the mag. You think that's a player? I've got a lot of shots into him. Yeah. I'm going uphill a bit. No eyes. No eyes. I see him. Oh, he's beaming me hard. He's dead. He's dead. dead. I'm healing up. I'm heading uphill. What's that weird noise? Don't like it. Will, don't turn around. Is it the mannequins? The mannequins, isn't it? You're stuck between two mannequins, will I'm not moving. I'll look at this one. You just strafe right. Strafe right. You'll be fine. Yeah. Ha! Lads, you're not going to die easily. Outplayed you tricky devils. Uh, that extract said it requires two dog tags, so we need to We should fight gunshots. we killed like three people, didn't we? But what AI, they No, mine says operators eliminated, too. Oh, we got him. Nice. I'm going to use this retrieval device. What does that do? I can put loot in it and it will get um guarantee loot extracted. There we go. Ah, so you can free up inventory space with that. Then that's going to go back to the stash. That's really good. Put those in my safe pocket. 30 minutes in raid. Look at this. Uh, we found the bell tower. Was that a player? No. AI. I can hear people. I've been spotted. There's crows here, Jack. Oh, they've disappeared. Magic crows. The anomalous crows are no more. There's a guy here. Got him. Nice. This is very strange. Oh, there's mannequins in here. Oh god. Curiosity killed me. Ow. Oh, it nearly got me. I need help, guys. I need help. I'm coming up. I'm just I'm about stammed out. I don't think you need help. As long as you look at them, they can't they can't hurt you, Jack. So, I was fighting an AI and they charged me. Oh, yeah. They just Yeah, they appear on you. They appeared. You're delusional, Jack. I'm not. Oh, it was real. They're all real. What about this one? Where are they? Oh, knife them down. Let's just stab every mannequin. And if we see blood, it'll die. All gone. I think we do. We need to get them all gone. Now, we need to think about extract because some of them have special parameters, don't they? And we've only got 10 minutes. Yeah, we we should be okay, though. I hovered over them. Uh, one of them said that after the first bell, you can leave. So, as far as I'm concerned, it's been a pretty good raid. Let's just go home. We're good. Let's Let's Yeah, let's go home. I mean, have you completed your missions now, guys? I've completed my one mission. I think we go for Valley Village, which is currently pinged. Uh, shot left, shot left, shot left.

They got players on, don't they? What is this here? I've never seen this before. There's a supply station here. You can buy stuff from a PlayStation. A supply station. Oh, interesting. You can buy drinks. Yeah, I'm going to buy an drink, actually, cuz I'm getting pretty low. I'm fairly low. Pop a Red Bull. I wasn't here too, man, boys. So, uh, you know, I was looking around.

That's a vibe. That's lovely. You got the moes in there as well. It's on my screen, too. So, it's reduced my peripheral vision a bit. We're at our extract now. Then it's not going to be the easiest thing to defend. I mean, it is just a phone box, right? They look just like the ones in London. Yo. Telephone. Call him up, Tom. Apply to activate. Exit. Here we go. Hello. Don't. These do not smell good in London. Can we go? Immediately. Put the phone down, but we're extracting. Ah, it's the Matrix. Is it for 36 seconds? Have you got a smoke grenade? I've killed someone there. Not sure if that was an AI. They came around. ADS. Okay, I'm in the impenetrable. Oh, they did, did they? I I'll have a look. I'll scope over. Wait, I could use my um my bulletproof wall. Oh, lovely. That's really nice. You think about that? Oh, I've just suddenly become really comfortable. Ah, does that make you feel safe? Yeah. And then I'll put my this on and then and then I'll just blind you. I glow when I do this. Yeah, you do. You're already glowing though, Tom. Oh, stop it. And there it is. How many kills did you get? I got three operator. Total eliminations 12. Three operators limited. I got one operator. So, we killed seven. Oh, damn. That's all right. That's a fine hole. That's all right. That That's all right. That That's not bad. Got the jump on that one team. Should I just immediately sell this laptop for 500 grand? Just sell absolutely everything. Yeah. So, I love this button here, by the way. Organize. Look at that. That's going to save me so much time cuz I'm really bad at inventory management. Doesn't this game have an insane gunsmith system in it? Yeah. Fully break it down. And there'll be um suggested builds on the right hand side. So, I'm going to put a suppressor on cuz it's a Vector. Got to have a suppressor. And the drum mag. More capacity. Look at that. Okay, I want maximum PvP this round. Oh, this is the mannequin building from before. Be careful. I've got to destroy five puppets to spot my mission up there. Watch out. Oh, baby.
