Arena Breakout: Infinite Health System explained

The Health System in Arena Breakout: Infinite is quite a complex part of the game since even minor wounds can be lethal if you don’t know how to treat them properly. Even with full armor equipped, players are exposed to a lot of debuffs, so knowing how to deal with them is essential.

The game has finally released in early access, so here’s all you need to know about Arena Breakout: Infinite’s Health System, including types of injuries, status effects, and how to treat them.

How does health work in Arena Breakout: Infinite?

In Arena Breakout: Infinite, the Health System shows how much damage you can take before you are incapacitated. Counting all the body parts, players have a total of 440 health points. If they lose them all, they’ll die.

An incapacitation occurs when the player takes too much damage to the limbs or body, and cannot move. The player will then fall prone and can drag himself away or be dragged out of danger by a teammate. This will also begin a countdown before the player loses consciousness or dies.

To prevent this, other players will have to heal you with items such as Surgical Kits, Medpacks, and Bandages.

If you are going solo, incapacitation means a direct elimination. Keep in mind that Arena Breakout: Infinite is a team game, so you’ll have better chances at survival if you stick together with your team.

Limb health explained

In Arena Breakout: Infinite, each part of the body has its own health bar. When depleted, the limb/body part breaks and this causes several status effects/debuffs that need to be healed using specific meds.

There are seven limbs you need to keep track of, namely your Head, Upper Abdomen, Right Arm, Left Arm, Lower Abdomen, Right Leg, and Left Leg. You can see the state of each by looking at the body on the bottom left of your screen.

If you have an injury, the corresponding body part will change color:

• Green: Minor injury
• Orange: Moderate injury
• Red: Severe injury
• Black: Broken limb

How to heal all injuries in Arena Breakout: Infinite

To heal in Arena Breakout: Infinite, you need to use health items such as Surgical Kits, Bandages, and Health Kits. But not every health item can fix all your problems, so here’s every kind of ailment that you’ll see in the game and how to heal it:

Ailment	Effect	Heal with
Injury	HP drops	Bandages/Medkits
Pain	Causes blurry vision and increased noise	Painkillers
Wounds	Lose health progressively	Bandages
Broken Limb	Prevents you from healing affected limb	Surgical Kit
Lung injury	Prevents you from regaining stamina	Nebulizer
Tinnitus	Impairs hearing	N/A – disappears over time
Hunger	Lose health over time	Food
Dehydration	Lose health over time	Water

Keep in mind that all health items have charges, so carry plenty of them before going into a raid, or you’ll be dead with the slightest wound if you cannot heal properly.

It is also important to mention that most healing items cause Hydration to drop down drastically, for example, Painkillers. So, you’ll have to keep a constant supply of water as you play to prevent Dehydration.

Status effects explained

Debuffs are status effects in Arena Breakout: Infinite that affect your character negatively depending on what kind of damage they have taken, if you’re carrying too much, or if you’re low on food and water:

• Injury: Any damage taken causes an injury.
• Pain: caused by every wound, or the “broken” condition.
• Dehydration: Loss of water under the 5/100 threshold, the player will start to lose health.
• Hunger: Loss of energy under the 5/100 threshold, the player will start to lose health.
• Critical Overload: Carrying too much weight, the player can’t run, or move.
• Sound Blocking: Caused by Tinnitus. The player cannot hear.
• Exhausted: Lower Body Stamina depletion, the player can’t run, jump, or climb.

There are also “Critical Wounds” that cannot be healed. Bullets penetrating the armor and hitting vulnerable parts like the brain are considered Critical Wounds. A shot to the face or heart instantly kills you, so keep that in mind.

Alongside the Health System you need to know how to mod your weapons so you can perform your best during missions. Leveling up fast and making enough money will also help you get better equipment, further increasing your chances of surviving while you’re playing.
