The new season will introduce a ton of big new modes and gameplay variations. We've also added many highly anticipated features you've been waiting for!
Two Brand New Modes—Hostile Sector and Supplies Drops
In Hostile Sector, operators will face extreme weather like dark nights, heavy fog, and blizzards, along with four types of Elites (breachers, snipers, grenadiers, and fumigators). Compared to regular Tactical Ops, local Militants in Hostile Sector are significantly stronger, and the number of real players has been greatly reduced. This mode encourages cooperation and sharing map earnings between teams, making PvP combat less stressful. Teams cannot attack each other in the Farm and Northridge. While the TV Station retains team-versus-team combat, teams can still flexibly cooperate and negotiate to progress together. As for Hostile Sector loot yields, the Farm is the same as Lockdown Zones, Northridge is higher than Lockdown Zones, and the TV Station is the same as Forbidden Zones. At the same time, we're opening up the Solo Infiltration mode for solo/single team entry (available on Farm and Northridge). Tickets for Solo Infiltration can be obtained in Tactical Ops as in-raid drops, traded out of raid, and used for unlimited entries, catering to players with different needs. With the introduction of Farm and Northridge Hostile Sectors, we hope to bring a deeper and more challenging PvE experience with more predictable risks. In the TV Station, where supplies are relatively richer, we've kept the PvPvE experience while significantly reducing the PvP pressure. We look forward to seeing you enjoy an elevated experience in these all-new combat environments.
Supplies Drops is a more relaxed and fun team mode focusing on cooperation and mutual benefit. Operators need to loot resources on the map and put them into their ** Personal Crate ** and the** Squad Crate. ** At the end of the raid, the supplies in the Team Supply Crate will be split equally among team members. For this reason, operators don't need to gear themselves up. Simply choose a system loadout after entering the raid to start playing. Most importantly, if you are eliminated in Supplies Drops, you can respawn and rejoin the battle after a set time, with unlimited respawns.
Supplies Drops maintains multi-squad competition while reducing the cost and mental pressure of gearing up. The unlimited respawn mechanic greatly reduces death penalties, and in most cases, the earnings are quite significant. We hope it brings you a more relaxing, fun, and stress-free experience outside of the intense Tactical Ops.
In Season 6, we've also added a very important system mechanic—the Mastery System.
Rest assured, we understand the community's concerns and worries about extra abilities for operators. Masteries in Arena Breakout: Infinite will have several key features:
Firstly, each operator will get 6 Mastery Points by default. You can obtain 6 more points as you level up your character to Lv. 26. This means that max-level players will automatically start the new season with 12 Mastery Points, which is also the cap, requiring no extra investment or consumption.
Secondly, operators can freely adjust their Mastery Point allocation anytime outside a raid, with no cost or cooldown restrictions, allowing free switching between different combinations.
Thirdly, a maximum of 6 Masteries can be active simultaneously. This creates a distinct experience between different choices and fits practical tactical needs.
Finally, Masteries provide substantial benefits in survival and searching. In PvP, Masteries mainly serve to increase your margin of error and battlefield survival.
The Mastery System is a bold attempt for Arena Breakout: Infinite. With simple, grind-free acquisition, unlimited free adjustments, and restrained ability designs, we hope to provide more options and variety to the Dark Zone's loot-and-shoot extraction experience. We look forward to your feedback.
As for older modes, we've also made some gameplay iterations based on mercenaries' requests:
The highly popular melee-only combat introduced in Season 4 is coming to the TV Station. In addition to extracting, obtaining enemy dog tags allows you to participate in an in-raid lucky draw. A mysterious enemy roaming the map has also joined the combat—defeat the enemy for guaranteed high-value rewards!
The rules for the Warlord Tournament have also been upgraded. The rating stars operators earn from a single raid will be based on both Team Rank and Personal Eliminations Rank, with the total stars earned from both parts in a single raid still capped at 3.
In every season, we expand our weapons and combat items. The all-new Banshee Submachine Gun and T88 Marksman Rifle are here, along with new items like the** Experimental Shock Grenade ** and Y4O Experimental Ultra-Strength Treatment. A new batch of ammo and weapon accessories will also be available this season.
In addition, we've made several optimizations and adjustments to core systems you care about:
Improving Combat Fairness and Detail Experience—We rebuilt the underlying aiming logic in the game. The FOV seen by the character in ADS will align better with the third-person presentation, massively reducing combat issues caused by FOV differences.
On the character control side, actions like aiming down sights, inspecting weapons, and vaulting over obstacles have been visibly optimized to improve the feel of first-person controls.
On the post-raid Combat Details Screen, we optimized the bullet hole count display and further improved the display for head and face hits to increase the realism of taking damage. Plus, you can now view your opponents' equipment details here.
After a raid ends, you can view the Highest Extraction Value for that raid—the one who extracted with the most loot might not actually have the highest value.
The gloves in this season's customization system can now be freely mixed and matched, giving you more ways to personalize your character's appearance.
In addition, this season brings numerous optimizations and new content. For example, in-raid Supply Stations now provide 2 items for free 5 minutes after the raid begins, with no additional Koen required. The backpacks and chest rigs will now restrict which weapon accessories can be brought into a raid. The Airport map has received visual and environmental upgrades. A new Career Record system has been added to capture your memorable moments in Kamona. Voice Recorder collection has also been added. Of course, this season also introduces new Collectibles and a variety of fun interactive items.
Season 6 delivers a more diverse experience with deeper gameplay and continued refinement. In addition to the features mentioned above, this update includes a wealth of new content and optimizations. For more details, please refer to the full update notes below. Thank you to every operator for your love and support.

** 1. Crate Split Rules: **
Supplies found in-raid must be placed in a crate to be settled after the raid ends. Rewards will be sent via mail after the raid ends. Quitting early means forfeiting all earnings.
Crates are divided into Personal Supply Crates and Team Supply Crates:
a) Personal Supply Crate: Exclusive and visible only to you. Supplies placed here are yours and sent via mail after the raid.
b) Team Supply Crate: Shared by the team. Supplies are converted into Koen and multiplied based on the team's total earnings rank (higher rank = higher multiplier), then split equally among teammates who complete the raid.
2. Multiple waves of air drops appear during the raid, offering rare, high-value rewards. Dog tags earned from the raids can be exchanged at the gachapon to draw bonus rewards.
3. Players eliminated during the raid will automatically respawn after a short wait, rejoining the battle to continue competing for resources.
** New Mastery System **
1. Points are allocated into Combat, Survival, and Support paths. Players can mix and match freely to suit their combat style.
2. Each player obtains 6 Mastery Points by default. You can obtain 6 more points from character level rewards: 3 points each at Lv. 19 and Lv. 26.

** Gameplay Iterations **
Melee-Only Combat—TV Station
Event Rules:
1. Survive and extract via Extraction Points in free-for-all raids, where only attacking with melee weapons is permitted.

2. The rating stars operators earn from a single raid will be based on both Team Rank and Personal Eliminations Rank, maxing out at 3 stars overall.
3. Matchmaking cannot start if the rank gap between squad members exceeds 2 major ranks.
** Weapon and Gear Updates **
** New Weapons **
Banshee Submachine Gun: The Banshee submachine gun from Break Point Zero features softer recoil, higher accuracy, and reduced weight. Uses 5.7×28mm ammo.
T88 Marksman Rifle: The T88 marksman rifle adopts a bullpup design, shortening its overall length and improving mobility. The straight stock also helps improve accuracy. Uses 5.8×42mm ammo.
** New Ammo **
1. New Class IV .45 Ammo: .45 APWC ammo
2. New 12×70 Shotgun Ammo: 12×70 Dragon's Breath ammo
3. New Class IV 5.56×45mm Ammo: 855A2 ammo
** New Tactical Items **
Experimental Shock Grenade: An experimental grenade that uses an impact fuse. It detonates upon impact with hard objects, instantly releasing a strong electrical current that paralyzes targets caught in its blast, preventing them from aiming down sights or sprinting.
Y4O Experimental Ultra-Strength Treatment: Elisir Medicina once developed an experimental ultra-strength treatment, codenamed "Y3O." Although it could rapidly repair human tissue, it also caused severe side effects, and the company ultimately abandoned the project. Years later, a treatment named "Y4O" quietly appeared on the black market, and it had even stronger effects.
This stimulant cannot be placed in a Case. Upon use, it instantly removes all debuffs, repairs all broken limbs, and restores HP to full. However, it permanently reduces the max HP of each body part for the duration of the raid (head -5, chest -15, abdomen -12, limbs -10). Cannot be used repeatedly within a certain time frame.
How to obtain the Y4O Experimental Ultra-Strength Treatment: Trophy Room—Workbench (can craft 1 every 9 hours).
