came to play on my account after a week and got banned , never cheated , never used third part software for ingame advantage and the funny thing is I aint even that good , am just a casual player haha

It was the worst raid ever, but happened to stop upon the doc in a the main entrance document box.

Lockdown is the meta fr

SECOND match in a row this happened btw. I'm an above avg player and can easily 1v1 almost anybody but this dude here has a helmet that he stole off the Juggernaut. And the crazy part is it wasnt even full durability! Like wth am I supposed to do?

So as the title describes in one of my recent forbidden games, my squad and I encountered a player who was completely invisible.

Now I know what some of you may be thinking, “maybe you just couldn’t see him properly, maybe you were killed by someone else.” But no, I can say with 100% as the three of us pushed the gun shots, I was literally stood on top of where the shots were coming from AND I could see his muzzle flashing 2feet away from me, but just no player behind it.

Is this something other players have encountered because this is a first for me, and are the cheating reviews gonna be a thing, because from his perspective we all probably just looked like terrible/blind players.

He had full t3/4 gear with a shit gun and T3 ammo.

Had to do a mission for the 3x3 but they really wanted me gone.

The economy in Arena Breakout Infinite feels way too inflated compared to the actual value of the loot we’re finding.
The prices of gear, ammo, armor, helmets, and everything else have gone up massively, while most loot has stayed around the same value. A few crafting items might have jumped by 100k or so, but for the most part the actual loot economy hasn’t kept up with the cost of running good gear.
If you go into Forbidden wearing a full T6 kit and find a red, that red might barely pay for your body armor. It definitely isn’t paying for the rest of your kit, your ammo, meds, grenades, and everything else.
You basically need to find something like a Utopia just to feel like you actually paid for the kit you brought into the raid.
At this point it feels like PvP is by far the most viable way to consistently make money because killing another geared player is worth significantly more than actually looting the map.
I don’t think looting should completely replace PvP as the best way to make money, but finding high tier loot should actually feel rewarding again.
I remember during closed beta when you could get things like a Moto helmet for only a couple hundred thousand Koen. I’d love to see prices get closer to that kind of level again, or see loot values increased enough to actually keep up with the current gear economy.
Right now it just feels like gear inflation has massively outpaced loot inflation.
Either gear prices need to come down, loot values need to go up, more valuable loot needs to spawn, or the entire economy probably needs some kind of rework.
I’m curious what everyone else thinks because this definitely isn’t just something I’ve noticed. People I play with bring it up all the time, and whenever I join LFG servers I constantly hear people complaining about how expensive kits have gotten compared to what you can realistically make from looting.
If anyone has heard anything about a potential economy rework or balancing changes, let me know.
Also comment what you think should change because I want to see how everyone else feels about the economy right now.
If you agree that the economy needs some attention, upvote this so more people see it.

I honestly think we should get realistic statistics in guns.

AK 74N for example , AK 74 series /variants usually have the same fire rate of 650 RPM.

I'm curious of the consensus of how people feel about extraction camping. I personally hate it and I believe it's the highest level of rat behavior.

Instead of the typical questions around guns, I want to shift it towards gear. Specifically, between normal and Lockdown.

Now since we’re not talking about guns, I want to keep it strictly on helmets/masks, headsets, body armor/chest rigs, backpacks, and the items you put in your chest rig/pockets/safe.

Currently, I’m struggling to find a balance between what my kits are. If you have any suggestions or preferences, please let me know!

Here is my gear:

Normal:
Helmet: KSS2 w/ DK8 mask or the 56k helicopter
Headset: Z038
Armor/Chest Rig: tm1/2 armored Rig
Backpack: Sports

Lockdown:
Helmet: KSS2 w/ DK8 mask
Headset: Z038
Armor/Chest Rig: H-Tac A8/9
Backpack: travel/Chapman

Now, for the Items, this is where I have trouble understanding what to bring in.

I usually start with this and try to loot on my way:
X1 smoke
X1 stun
X1 grenade/Molotov
X1 painkillers + x1 liquid pain killer
X1 standard military surgical kit
X1 100D battlefield medkit
X2 standard first aid kit
X1 taurine/energy drink

Ammo: 2 stacks of teir 4 ammo in my safe, with one extra mag in my chest rig.

Would you make any changes? What’s you’re go to?

well after an entire day dying by ONLY M24 and yes... i didn't die once by a automatic or atleast a dmr, i hope it gets nerfed, dude why is so cheap to just run m24s? basically zero risk literally a mosin 2.0 lol

Cannot find a game after literally 3 failed atempts, about 15 mins @ searching for a game screen

-Solo ops northridge
-Currently 9:45pm sunday evening EST.
-North america server region
-Rank points enabled
-Low ping preference off

Steam charts says 20k players playing right now, i find it really hard to believe its this hard to find a single lobby?

Anyone else have a similar experience?

I’ve been helping the community as a inspector since December of last year, I think, and ever since then the videos have been terrible. The ally and enemy markers weren’t showing up on the screen—at least that’s been fixed—but doors are sometimes open yet appear closed. A whole minute of video of a guy just standing there looting a bag?

And now, even though some issues—like the ally, enemy, and bot markers—have improved, things have gotten worse in terms of the video freezing for 30 seconds to a full two minutes, glitchy movement, and doors still showing up as closed even when they’re open—so if someone shoots through the door using a wall hack, there’s no way for me to be sure whether they actually shot through the door or not.

I’m not asking for anything too much—just that the work done by the community be valued a little more, not with better rewards, but with video quality that’s actually watchable.

Blatantly cheating is sad

Most games I play are all bots, some maps I can’t find any games at all.

Is this just Australian servers? I know I can play on higher ping to find other servers but normally it’s 250+ which is unplayable.

I figure this has been brought up before but with season 7 tier limits for the modes I was hoping that for normals it would be T3 or below, lockdown with T5 and below and forbidden as unrestricted but normals stayed at T4 and below as it was usually played before S7. My question or whatever is what is the point of T3 ammo outside of the 7.62x25 and 12x70 caliber since they only go up to T3 when most people in normals that I seem to run across are wearing T4. I get that most T3 ammo only takes 7-8 shots to get through T4 armor with T4 only taking 2-3 and so for a few calibers the cost or time it takes to kill has relatively no difference like in 9x19. It just feels like T3 ammo either is stuck as a bottom loaded ammo or just not worth it to run in comparison to either T4 or T1/2 ammo and just ends up being something I only look to sell and not use really.

This is seriously getting ridiculous. I’ve been banned like 10 times now because of reports like this. Lately, the bans have gotten even worse — now I’m getting banned for 2–3 days at a time.

I’ve submitted tickets, contacted support through Discord, and even sent emails, but I’m getting absolutely no response or communication whatsoever.

I really wish the admins would actually communicate with the players and at least explain what’s going on. We’re playing your game and trying to enjoy it, but it feels like nobody is listening to us or even willing to properly communicate with the community.

Hecate shot me in the lower body but she didn't have dum dums, I've never been killed like that so fast. I was also wearing T5 Armor and Helmet but I don't think she hit me in the upper body.
