The TV Station map, introduced in Season 3, has quickly become one of the most dangerous yet rewarding locations in Arena Breakout: Infinite. With its maze-like hallways, broadcasting studios, and hidden safes, it offers players a chance to score some of the rarest REDS (Mythical-tier) items in the game – but at enormous risk.
This article dives into the exact spawn points and high-probability loot areas based on the official dev video and verified player intel. From the Central Control Room to the Director’s Office, we’ll explore where to find Antique Teapots, Gem Necklaces, Gold Lion Statues, and more, plus tactical tips to survive the chaos.
Central Control Area (1F) – The Heart of the Station
The Central Control Area is the most fought-over zone on the map. Acting as the main hub connecting all regions, it contains two free safes – making it a magnet for both rookies and high-level operators.
Key Loot Points
- Two Free Safes – Always contested; high chance of valuables and mid-tier Reds.
- Locked Supply Room – Use the Equipment Key for electronics and gold items.
- Desks and Cabinets Nearby – Gold Lion Statues or Secret Documents have been reported to spawn here.
- Planning Area 2 Conference Table – Occasionally spawns a Gem Necklace (Red); don’t miss this easy-to-overlook surface.
Pro Tip: After looting, circle around to Planning Area 1 and Broadcast Control – many players leave secondary tables untouched.
Broadcast Control Room – Hidden Riches Behind the Cameras
The Broadcast Control Room, adjacent to Central Control, is deceptively quiet. Players often rush to loot the free safe, but forget to check the table beside it.
Key Loot Points
- Free Safe Table – Common spawn for valuables; rare chance for a Red collectible.
- Overhead Cabinets & Racks – Search upper shelves; Antique Teapots and Gold Lions may spawn on these.
New Update Note: This area received improved loot density in the latest patch, increasing rare spawn probability around safe tables.
Southeast Wing – Director’s Office, Archives & Café
If you spawn on the Southeast, take your time – this section holds several of the map’s best REDS spawns.
Director’s Office (2F)
- Behind the desk or under chairs, a two-slot Antique Teapot (Red) can appear.
- File cabinets can spawn Secret Documents or mid-tier valuables.
- Don’t skip the Dark Room nearby; it sometimes contains purple gear and documents.
Archives Room
- Look for paper-wrapped document piles and cabinets – prime locations for Secret Documents (Red).
- Check shelves and document boxes; this area’s layout closely matches known Secret Document spawn environments.
Café
- Beneath the lounge sofa is a rumored spawn for the Antique Teapot.
- Also search behind the counter – electronics, jewelry, or teapots may spawn there.
Northeast Wing – Interview Room & Scenery Studio
This area may seem quiet, but it hides several underrated Red item spawns.
Key Loot Points
- Interview Room Table – Frequently overlooked; has yielded high-value spawns.
- Backstage Shelves and Display Cases – Chance to find Gold Lion Statues or rare decor items.
- Scenery Set Tables – While waiting for the safe’s countdown, check these.
- Outside Scenery Exit (Right-Hand Corridor) – Items like Antique Teapots or Vases can spawn on the floor.
Insider Tip: Many players focus on the safe timer and forget to scan the floor – always look down before extracting.
Northwest Wing – Editing Room
The Editing Room isn’t just for aesthetics; it’s a secret treasure zone.
Key Loot Points
- Stage Platform – Can spawn electronics, jewelry, or even Reds.
- Equipment Racks – Look behind monitors and cables; a few Red items have been found here.
- Desks & Drawers – Mid-tier loot often indicates nearby high-tier spawn potential.
Southwest Wing – Logistics and General Office
The Logistics Area connects to the General Office (2F), both offering solid loot if you’re patient.
Logistics Warehouse
- Display Cases & Boxes – Random high-tier items spawn inside.
- Crates on the Path – Possible drops of Gold Lion or Antique Teapot.
General Office (2F)
- After looting the safe, inspect the small conference table – Red items have been found here.
- Search cubicles for forgotten valuables; Secret Documents occasionally spawn under tables.
Understanding Reds and How They Spawn
In Arena Breakout: Infinite, Reds are classified as Mythical Collectibles. Current confirmed or suspected Red items include:
- Antique Teapot (2×2 item) – Found in Director’s Office, Café sofa, or open shelves.
- Gem Necklace – Found on Planning Room tables or rare safe drops.
- Gold Lion Statue – Commonly in safes or shelves within Central Control and Logistics.
- Secret Documents – Spawn in file cabinets, document boxes, or coat racks (especially Archives).
- Vase – High-value decorative collectible; occasionally spawns near broadcast props or scenery sets.
Spawn Mechanics:
Reds share loot tables with high-tier purple items. If you find a purple gun mod or luxury watch nearby, there’s a good chance a Red item could also spawn in the same room.
Season 3 Loot Changes and What’s New
With the Season 3 update, the TV Station map introduced several important changes:
- Two new free safes (1F) – No keys required; instant hot zones.
- Locked Equipment Room – Requires a pricey key but guarantees high-value loot.
- AI Bosses: Kurt Williams & Bernard Martin – Both can drop Red or Gold-tier items.
- Rebalanced Drop Rates – Reds now appear slightly more frequently on high-tier missions and in elite zones.
- New Extraction Points:
- Elevator (2F) – Timed extraction, activated after 10 minutes.
- Loading Dock – Requires switch activation; high PvP risk.
These updates make the TV Station both riskier and more profitable. Smart players should avoid head-on fights at the start and focus on looting outer rooms before rotating into Central Control.
Looting Strategy for Maximum Profit
- Prioritize Safety: Clear nearby areas before opening safes – expect campers.
- Loot in Layers: Outer offices → Broadcast → Central → Exit.
- Check the Floor and Under Furniture: Reds often spawn in low visibility spots.
- Use Sound Discipline: Heavy footsteps echo; crouch-walk through critical zones.
- Coordinate with Teammates: One player secures angles while another loots.
- Scan for Purples: Purple-tier items are often the canary for nearby Reds.
- Extract Smart: Avoid extraction choke points during peak fights – use alternate routes.
Conclusion – Risk Big, Loot Bigger
The TV Station in Arena Breakout: Infinite is a perfect embodiment of high-risk, high-reward gameplay. While its safes lure countless operators into firefights, the true riches – the Reds – often lie in the quieter corners: under desks, on planning tables, or tucked behind studio props.
If you methodically clear each sector – from Central Control to the Director’s Office – and remember to check every surface, you’ll dramatically increase your chances of scoring these elusive Mythical items. With the Season 3 adjustments boosting spawn variety, there’s never been a better time to master this map and claim the treasures the careless leave behind.
So gear up, stay sharp, and remember: in the TV Station, every shelf, sofa, and stage could hold your million-credit payday.
