I wish to see better servers. Reconnecting issue is annoying and having high ping (my ping is good in other games)

[Mubabaz]

It’s good to see that they’re not just blindly pumping out content without doing maintenance

2025
Solo vs Squad
Difficult: Ultra Hard

[SecondRealMd]

I just want to get a feature of locking loot that you kill.
Because if the feature is not get released, the dogtag is just gonna be a drawing to show who kill is it.

The faction guns should all come back as available on the market after a season has passed since they released. It's a missed oportunity to have guns such as the bizon not being available on the market.

Issues People Are Having in my YT Community
-Server instability
-de sync/hit reg issues
- body sinks into map
- would be nice to see lockdown/forbidden have higher requirements of entry to keep naked players from entering or players with basically gear a bot would have..
- we would like a hardcore mode with no sound prints or indicators at all
- being able to stack more koen in inventory
- nerf all leg meta ammo / make high tier armour actually worth using, making leg meta ammos less effective
- PROMOTE PVP! PROMOTE PLAYERS ACTUALLY USING HIGHER TIER GEAR !
- I mentioned raising gear requirements but if we could match with other players with similar gear value would be better. Going in with T6 gear and only running into players with T3 is no bueno and not fun at all, makes wearing T5/ T6 armour while also using T5/T6 ammo not worth using bc it’s not economically viable.
- the loot severely needs buffed.. reds should be a lot more accessible to find.I found 70+ red items in season 1 now im barely able to find 20-30 in a season.
You can barely find 200k worth of loot on any map, loot should be much better then it is now.
- Bring Back Summit & Meeting Event for NorthRidge 🙏
- realism is cool, but generally means less fun… movement nerf/ lean peak nerf / and stamina nerf is irritating.
- stop nerfing weapons that don’t need nerfed.. bring back Season 1 M4A1 back to its original state 😭
- make T7 thermal imager not caseable 🚫
- stop catering to timmy players, cater to ALL players with all skill levels.. the game should be fun but also hardcore..
The thing that drives me crazy is people only care about storage value and hoarding high value items which they never actually use ! They have Ind70 helmets, AX50s and don’t even use them bc they are afraid to lose them.. it’s sad and creates a stale PvP environment

I think I stand with everyone, Ragdolls are not worth losing your loot over...

[iTzKevinx]

I'm glad to see the changes coming to make the game more fun and a little free of toxicity.

A big hug to everyone and have a nice day! ^^

We need more customization for your character, NOT hidden behind a pay wall. People will spend money regardless, but there's almost nothing for olayers who dont go into the store. We are entering season 7, and many players still look as if they are in season 1.

[PatriotMen]

How about add new type of melee weapon via grinding? I mean, we have butterfly knife, axe, and sledgehammer, why not you add regular, standard looking axe or hammer via grind or exchange to contacts? That give player more reason to loot stuff.

[Topic_Yo]

This vid gives me hope
The hope that AB can be great again

[commandercody]

an ideia i think it would be nice its to add loot block on the bodies, like if i killed somebody and a teammate goes loot it, he can't cause i lock the loot for him, if you are playing with a friend and you usually share loot with him, it would be nice to add a "loot block list", something like "he can take my kill loot, he too but he can't", something like a whitelist/blacklist for your kills to secure your loot from randoms

[Gottfried_Dauthe]

I'm a day 1 player and never stopped playing. Sometimes a bit more, the other week a bit less. I think the game improved MASSIVELY! I'm totally happy with Northridge royal and team elimination modes. And I'm REALLY excited about the free skins! (Much thanks for this)
I personally want the rank clothes back and maybe a "rework" of the rank system. Everything else is imo nice!

[GRTGMR-poly]

those sounds great ngl, but if there's 1 thing the community wants so badly is something like a switch ir button that locks loot from people someone killed for his teammates

[Alex]

I'm gonna voice for my community with my feedback.

I have been playing Arena Breakout since the very first beta and also streaming and making content for the game since then.

Here some of the things you guys should consider when it comes to dynamic gameplay instead of bringing tactical gears to see rats etc. why not give us a more that turn off sound indicator for all players or take them out of forbidden and lock down modes only.

The sound indicator cause people to sit and wait in corner because why move when I can sit here and see someone sound indicator coming from a mile away it makes it easy for people to camp. Yes, tactical style of play is rating but I think it was stupid idea in the first place to think such a feature for having sound indicator in game and justified the use or the addition of it to say you need people to play on a bus, train etc.

This means you're catering for only one players base which is casual players who play on a bus etc. This is one of the reasons when I'm streaming everyone is saying this game is not fun because everyone is doing the same thing which is rat. If you also have rats getting annoyed of being ratted then for sure you see the problem.

SOLO MODE

For the addition of having a solo mode in the game to have it as an event is quite ridiculous plus it will be available in the later in the season makes no sense. Solo mode should have been implemented more in the game maybe in the future you guys can make it once people turn Off the option to play with players you put them in a lobby where other players has the same option or easier just have a button to switch solo que on just like the option for low ping preferences. I thought you would make solo mode available for all maps but for only one maps just kill the update for solo mode.

HITBOX

When it comes to HITBOX registration in Arena Breakout it is horrible it doesn't register where you're actually hitting the player. For instance you aim and hit the player in his head the game will say you hit his arms 😂. It's been this way for a very long time and we always voice our feedback but season after seasons you guys do nothing about it. Why this time will make much difference?

Arena Breakout is a great game but you're thinking about this game too much of a mobile game like back in the 2000s day mobile gaming is evolving and people need PC quality content and feature because childish mobile features don't work anymore. Something to reconsider when updating Arena Breakout in the future and adding features.


Desync has been such a HUGE issue with game for quite sometime now and I think that issue needs to be fixed asap along with the game disconnecting issue that you get in the lobby and also in game. If you guys really care listen to the people who are playing the game daily and making content consumers know what they need from the game because they're the once playing the game.

QOL Features.

You can also consider adding a feature that makes you move players to cover and also bodies to cover to loot.

For wooden doors 🚪 please make them destructive when bullets it them or explosives.

Fix the bullets in the game. It makes no sense using all the new weapons in a update if the most broken bullet in the game is M61s and there is no armor or other gun you can use but the FAL to actually put a chance to kill someone else.

I bet you guys heard this many times before even ABI players complaining about this as well. The is also a major issue with the game.

HARDCORE MODE

I know that all games are made around casual players but to be honest casual players don't always play the game more than people that sweat and grind ranks to keep being on the top of the leaderboard.

I think there should be a balance ⚖️ in the game design to cater for all players and one way to do this is to give us sweats an Hardcore mode without sound waves and buff the requirements for the gears for that mode.

GEARS AND REQUIREMENTS

The gears requirement makes no sense in lock down and also forbidden. I think making lock down mode 80-100k requirements and cap the rank to elite lvl so other players that are skill doesn't bulky new players. For forbidden zones make it cost more because even now the gears going into forbidden is worth more than 80k it think it should worth a players time to play forbidden mode if the gears are cap at above 200-400k.

That's most of the things I could find for feedback back I better there are many more things but didn't have the time to write a book 📚.

[newburger]

- Make thermal so it cannot be cased.
- Fix the elo system (matchmaking balance).
- Fix the Auto Match where it forces you to go in as a solo.
- Add epic kill clips that we can download, more content, more share, more engagement.

"RAT" happens because the match making rule itself is unbalanced (gear gaps, rank gaps, overpowered T6+T7 thermal+M61+red stim spammer, 1 random party vs 3 premade parties, etc), so they end up hiding. Overtime, it becomes a habit.

Also because when you have sweaty jumping kangaroo competitive players going up against chill casual players... Remember that your core gameplay is about survival extraction, not team deathmatch.. Observe how pro players on ABI for example, still different gameplay than those possessed chinese players. Perfect formula to create rats population.

[SmokyRS]

They should fix the Ping, in Latin America the excessively high ping makes the game unplayable

Another point, they should limit the entry of high-ranked players to normal maps, that a level 20 who just started playing has to face a tier 6 legend rank guy doesn't make any sense

Do you want to nerf the thermal? Ok, why don't they put the visibility that it had in the Beta or the one that was there in Arena Breakout Infinity? Why does the thermal version have to have more screen visibility in the mobile version than in the PC version? It doesn't make sense

The solitaire mode that they are going to add should be an OPTION, not a game mode, in all games the mode is only an option, why in Arena Breakout No?

Finally, To solve the problem of loot stealers, they have 2 possible options, that the player who kills has priority or time to loot or that the player who killed can choose whether to block the loot of the person who killed, the other option is that

If a person steals loot from another person, for example a player kills another and his teammate comes to steal the loot from the person he killed, that player who had the loot stolen will have the option of lowering the person's merit that I stole loot, the merit of the person who stole loot is lowered so much that they will not be able to play as a team again, that way they would not want to steal loot.

When you kill a teammate to steal loot, your merit level immediately drops to level 1.

Thanks for read

[player_unknown]

1:13 What if you add the option Ragdoll can be turned off where players can choose between turning it off or turning it on For me I prefer Ragdoll more so please don't remove it ❤

[AppleJambles]

I saw my kill go under stairs but seeing those flying bodies is worth it
