Arena Breakout: Infinite is a snack-sized Tarkov I can't stop playing, but has some awful monetisation

When things go to shit in Arena Breakout: Infinite, they go to shit fast. Each of the 10-15 minute matches in this brutal extraction shooter start the same way: you're stood in a peaceful wooded area with a military-grade firearm, an empty rucksack and a glimmer of hope that this will be the time you find a stack of valuables.

The aim of the game here—and Escape From Tarkov, the game Arena Breakout: Infinite takes liberal inspiration from—is to charge around the map hoovering up loot and heading to extraction. Get lucky and you'll kill a couple of players along the way, taking some of their gear, too. Die, and you lose everything you went in with. In practice, each of these raids is a coinflip on whether you'll survive rich or bleed out.
