Arena Breakout: Infinite’s Season 3: Breach goes live on September 15 as the game officially leaves Season 2 Crimson Edge on PC. In this full release (available free on Steam and Epic Games Store) the developers have packed in tons of new content and improvements for returning players. The game now features five fully realized maps (Farm, Valley, Armory, TV Station, and Northridge) each with its own dynamic weather cycle (sunny, rain, fog and even violent storms).
Season 3 adds new mission types (Solo Ops, Covert Ops, and the popular Lockdown mode), a fresh seasonal mission chain (the “Breach” storyline), and even a new boss enemy – all designed to keep raids varied and challenging. In short, Arena Breakout Infinite Season 3 delivers a massive content update that veteran players have been eagerly awaiting.
Expanded Trophy Room 2.0 and Crafting Hub
Season 3 greatly overhauls the hideout, turning it into a fully expanded Trophy Room 2.0. The new hideout has multiple wings – including an Intelligence Department, Living Area, and a high-tech Workbench – plus an all-new progression and crafting system. Top-tier gear (like high-end armor and weapons) and red-tier ammo can no longer be bought on the market; instead they must be crafted in the Trophy Room or looted in raids.
This means returning players will spend more time collecting components and upgrading their hideout stations. Seasonal tasks in Season 3 let you unlock better workbenches and rewards as you play, and importantly every player gets a free Titanium Secure Case (a 9×9 pouch) simply by completing seasonal missions. This huge storage upgrade ensures even casual players have safe space for their best loot without spending real money.
- Multiple hideout wings: Intelligence Dept., Living Area, Workbench.
- New crafting progression: only crafted or raid-found red ammo and top gear.
- Free 9×9 Titanium Case via seasonal missions (no real-money purchase needed).
The result is a richer hideout experience where returning players can truly “build up” their base. All of this was made for a fairer economy: high-end items now require effort to obtain, not a purchase from an NPC.
New Weapons and Gear
Season 3 adds a bounty of new firepower and attachments. Three new primary weapons hit the arsenal: the PP-19 Vityaz submachine gun, the CZ 807 assault rifle, and the AN-94 assault rifle. These join the existing roster (bringing the total to 72 weapons) and are fully customizable with dozens of attachments. In addition, 40 new tactical accessories and gadgets have been added. For example, new medical equipment – like the Experimental Physique Enhancing Pill and an advanced multi-purpose First Aid Kit – give squads more options to recover and stay in the fight.
A major quality-of-life addition is the new Supply Station device. These small kiosks are placed on raid maps and allow players to spend in-game Koins to instantly purchase ammo, medical supplies or armor repairs mid-raid. This means you can top off grenades or fix your armor on the fly, without having to extract and reload. Overall, Season 3’s weapon and gear updates give returning players plenty of fresh loadout options and tactical flexibility.
- New weapons: PP-19 SMG, CZ 807 rifle, AN-94 rifle.
- New gear: 40 new attachments/gadgets (grips, sights, etc.).
- New items: Experimental Physique Pill, improved First Aid Kit.
- Supply Stations: Buy ammo/repairs on-map during raids.
Map Updates and Dynamic Weather
Several maps receive expansions in Season 3. The Farm map is noticeably larger: it now includes a new Grain Trading Zone and Stables area, giving more cover and loot spawns for combat. All maps now feature the dynamic weather system mentioned above – sudden fog or a surprise storm can drastically change sightlines and tactics. For example, a thunderstorm at Northridge can make long-range sniping much harder, while a sunny day on Valley map favors bold, open-air firefights. Returning players will need to adapt their gear and strategies to these changing conditions each raid.
Alongside these expansions, the full launch adds a variety of new game modes. In addition to normal mode and the existing Lockdown mode, Season 3 Breach introduces Covert Ops (stealth missions) and a Solo Mode designed for single-player runs. These modes offer fresh challenges and make the game more accessible to solo players or those looking for specific objectives.
Economy, Fair Play, and No Pay-to-Win
Season 3 doubles down on the developers’ promise of no pay-to-win gameplay. The in-game currency (Koens) remains free-to-earn and cannot be bought with real money. All players start on equal footing. Top-tier ammo (6- and 7-series rounds) and elite armor have been removed from the direct market; you can now only craft them or find them as rare loot. This enforces a more balanced economy where skill and grinding matter more than wallet size. Additionally, since every player earns the same Titanium 9×9 case via missions, even new or free players have access to the largest secure stash.
In practical terms, returning players will notice that high-end items are scarcer in shops, but they can still be obtained through play. As the official blog explains:
“Certain high-tier items and high-end ammo have been removed from the in-game market and can now only be crafted in the Trophy Room or found as loot in raids”.
In short, power comes from your actions in-game, not from purchasing currency.
Seasonal Missions and Rewards
Season 3’s seasonal quest line is themed “Breach” and introduces a series of new objectives and rewards. Completing these missions not only expands the story of Season 3 but also unlocks unique rewards: aside from the free Titanium case mentioned earlier, players can earn special gear skins, Battle Pass items, and trophies. The developer’s launch notes mention that Season 3 will even add exclusive cosmetics and rank rewards (like animated avatars and special weapon skins) as you progress through tiers.
Crucially, these rewards are designed for fair play and all can be earned by playing. For example, reaching new ranks during Season 3 grants cool items like graffiti art and weapon charms – but it never requires spending money. Early player feedback has been very positive about this system: fans on social media have praised that Season 3 “gives out free loot cases” and finally removes any paywalls.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
In addition to big new content, Season 3 sneaks in many user-friendly tweaks. The game’s inventory and loadout interfaces have been improved (players report being able to save custom gear presets and sort items more flexibly). There are also new hotkeys and shortcuts – for example, you can quickly select which ammo type to load into your weapons. Combat also feels smoother: certain grenades now take longer to cook (so enemies have more time to react), and UI elements like the keybinding menu are more intuitive. Overall, veteran players will appreciate these polishing touches that streamline gameplay. (Note: these details are based on player reports from the Season 3 test server.)
One small but popular change is the addition of a global voice chat option. While squad voice chat is still the default, you can now toggle a setting so that enemy radios and ambient chatter are audible too – at least in theory (on live servers this will be confirmed). These kinds of enhancements continue the trend of making Arena Breakout: Infinite feel modern and user-friendly, distinguishing it from more hardcore looter-shooters.
Community Reception
Early impressions of Season 3 have been very favorable. Critics and streamers note that the game feels balanced and fun. Many players comment that Arena Breakout: Infinite maintains high-stakes firefights (“every decision matters”) but removes some of the frustration common in similar games. One review on Steam praised ABI as “a very strong Tarkov competitor” thanks to faster match times and built-in conveniences.
Overall, the community is excited to see that developers listened to feedback – especially by handing out free gear cases and cutting pay-to-win elements in Season 3. The full launch will put ABI to a big test, but so far fans are enjoying the fresh content and fair economy.
Final Thoughts
Season 3 Breach is a substantial expansion that aims to welcome back returning players with exciting new features and free content. With its September 15 release on Steam and Epic Games Strore, the game is positioning itself as the free, fast-paced alternative to bigger-budget looters. Between the fully overhauled Trophy Room, the raft of new weapons and gadgets, expanded maps, and a pledge to keep gameplay fair, Arena Breakout: Infinite Season 3 has a lot for both veterans and newcomers.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or just jumping in now, Season 3 offers something for everyone – from epic boss fights in new modes to deep crafting in your hideout. As developer MoreFun Studios says, “power comes from playing, not from your wallet”. So load up your gear, assemble your squad, and jump back into the arena on September 15 – Season 3 “Breach” is here to shake things up.
