Arena Breakout: Infinite – How to Boost FPS/Performance

In the brutal, high-stakes raids of Arena Breakout: Infinite, victory and defeat are often decided by a single piece of information. The difference between seeing an enemy a split-second before they see you, or hearing a subtle footstep from an adjacent room, is what separates the victors who extract with high-tier loot from the victims who are sent back to the lobby with nothing.

While raw skill and tactical prowess are paramount, the foundation upon which that skill is built is a perfectly optimized set of game settings.

The default settings in any game are rarely designed for competitive advantage. They are often a compromise aimed at showcasing the game’s graphical fidelity. This guide is your ultimate resource for stripping away the cinematic fluff and tuning every aspect of the game for what truly matters: maximum information and clarity. We will provide a deep dive into the best general, graphics, audio, and post-processing settings to ensure you can see and hear your enemies more effectively than ever before, giving you a crucial edge in every single firefight.

Section 1: General Settings – Maximizing Your On-Screen Information (HUD)

Your Heads-Up Display (HUD) is your lifeline to critical information. The goal is to have as much useful data as possible available at a glance, without needing to open a menu. Navigate to the “General” tab in your settings to configure the following.

Field of View (FOV): The Competitive Sweet Spot

Your Field of View determines the width of your perspective. While a very high FOV can give you better peripheral vision, it also creates a “fish-eye” effect that can distort targets and make them appear smaller and harder to hit, especially at a distance. For a tactical shooter that demands precision, a balanced FOV is key.

• Recommended Setting: 90. This is the perfect sweet spot that provides excellent situational awareness without the significant visual distortion that comes with higher values.

The Heads-Up Display (HUD): Information is Power

In a game where every second counts, you want to see your vital stats at all times.

• Recommended Setting: Set the following options to “Always Show”:
  • Low Health and Armor: Provides instant feedback on your condition without needing to guess.
  • Stamina Bar: This is absolutely critical. Arena Breakout: Infinite features a dual stamina system. Leg Stamina is consumed by sprinting, while Arm Stamina is consumed by aiming down sights (ADS). Running out of Arm Stamina will make your aim incredibly unsteady, so having this bar always visible is non-negotiable.
  • Weapon Bar: Instantly see which weapons you have equipped and their position.
  • Position Bar: Helps with orientation and callouts for your team.
  • Raid Time Remaining: Knowing how much time is left is essential for planning your extraction.
  • Performance Info: Keep an eye on your FPS and network latency to instantly identify any technical issues.
• Headshake: Set this to Low. This will minimize the distracting screen shake from explosions and running, allowing you to maintain a more stable sight picture.

Section 2: Graphics Settings – The Pursuit of Clarity Over Prettiness

The goal of your graphics settings is not to make the game look as cinematic as possible, but to make your targets as clear as possible.

The Great Upscaling Debate: Why Native is King (For Now)

Arena Breakout: Infinite offers several upscaling methods like DLSS and FSR. In many games, these are a great way to boost FPS. However, the current versions implemented in this game are older and have a significant downside: they can make the image look blurry or smeared. In a tactical shooter, visual clarity is everything. A blurry image can easily cause you to miss a pixel of an enemy hiding in the distance.

• Recommended Setting: Set Resolution Sampling Type to Close (which means Off, or Native resolution). You should only consider using DLSS or FSR as an absolute last resort if you are severely struggling to maintain a stable frame rate.

Key Settings for Enemy Visibility

• View Distance: Set this to High. This is non-negotiable for competitive play. It ensures that player models and important environmental details are rendered at the furthest possible distance, preventing enemies from “popping in” out of thin air when you are scanning a long sightline.
• Vegetation Quality: Set this to High. While it might seem counter-intuitive, a higher vegetation setting can sometimes make it easier to spot enemies. It often renders foliage with more consistency and detail, which can create a clearer contrast against a player model hiding within it.
• Shadow Quality: Set this to Medium. Setting shadows to Low can sometimes remove important visual information (like an enemy’s shadow appearing around a corner before they do). Setting them to High or Ultra can create overly dark areas that make it too easy for enemies to hide. Medium is the perfect balance, providing useful tactical information without a massive performance hit.
• Texture Quality: This depends on your GPU’s VRAM. For cards with 8GB of VRAM or more, set this to High. For cards with less than 8GB, set it to Medium.
• Other Settings: For a good balance of quality and performance, set Anti-Aliasing, Post-Processing Quality, Effect Quality, and Shader Quality to Medium.

Section 3: Audio Settings – Hearing the Enemy Before You See Them

In Arena Breakout: Infinite, your ears are just as important as your eyes. A properly configured audio setup will allow you to hear enemy footsteps, reloads, and other crucial audio cues from much further away.

The Golden Rule: Turn Down Your UI Volume!

This is the single most important audio tip and a secret used by many top-tier players. The sounds your own character makes—looting a container, opening your inventory, packing a magazine—can be very loud and can easily mask the subtle sound of an enemy’s footsteps approaching your position.

• Recommended Setting: Turn your UI Volume down to a very low level, such as 11. This will make your own interaction sounds a quiet whisper, while keeping the essential enemy sounds at maximum volume, giving you a massive auditory advantage.

Other Essential Audio Settings

• Spatial Audio: Turn this ON. This is the game’s 3D audio solution and is absolutely essential for accurate directional hearing, allowing you to pinpoint whether a sound is coming from in front, behind, above, or below you.
• SFX Volume: Turn this to Max (100). This slider controls all the critical gameplay sounds: footsteps, gunshots, explosions, and character callouts.
• BGM Volume (Music): Set this to your personal preference, but for the most competitive advantage, it’s recommended to turn it down or completely off so that the in-game music never masks a critical audio cue.

Section 4: Post-Processing – Calibrating Your Vision for Darkness

The final step is to tune the post-processing settings to ensure you can see enemies clearly in all lighting conditions, especially in the dark interiors where many fights take place.

• Recommended Settings:
  • Brightness: 1.0 to 1.5, depending on your monitor’s base brightness.
  • Saturation: Personal preference, but 1.11 is a good starting point for slightly more vibrant colors without being distracting.
  • Contrast: 0.55. This is a crucial setting. While a high contrast setting might make the game look more cinematic in bright areas, it “crushes” the black levels, making it nearly impossible to see enemies hiding in shadows or dark corners of buildings. Setting your contrast low creates a “flatter” image but dramatically improves your visibility in dark environments.
  • Sharpness: 1.0. This provides a clean and clear image without introducing the distracting visual noise or smearing that can come from over-sharpening.

By dialing in these optimized settings, you are giving yourself every possible advantage. You will be feeding your brain the maximum amount of clear visual and auditory information, allowing your own skill to shine. Now go dominate your raids.
