The highly anticipated Arena Breakout: Infinite has entered its early access stage, and players around the world are curious about the possibility of any future wipes.
Occurring once every few months, wipes are a frequent occurrence in extraction shooters such as Escape from Tarkov and Gray Zone Warfare.
Will there be wipes in Arena Breakout: Infinite?
According to the developers on their official X account, there will be no wipes during or after the Early Access period for Arena Breakout: Infinite. In the most recent FAQ release, the devs stated that the Early Access version is unlimited and there will be no data wipes. All players can join by registering an account on the official website.
The developers have clarified that Arena Breakout: Infinite prioritizes a tactical in-game experience over RPG-style character growth or base building, which is the reason for the game’s lack of wipes.

Each time a wipe occurs in an extraction shooter, all of the weapons and items that you have obtained throughout your gameplay are lost.
Although resetting your progress may seem daunting, it also gives experienced players the opportunity to pursue coveted items once again. This creates a new challenge for them and levels the playing field for new players. Additionally, this is one of the methods the developers use to maintain balance within the game.
Despite some players’ dissatisfaction with the concept of not implementing wipes, there are concerns about the potential challenges of sustaining long-term community engagement. Therefore, it remains to be seen if wipes will eventually be incorporated in the future.
Before diving into the game, be sure to verify that your PC meets the game’s requirements. Aside from that, the game offers a substantial number of bosses to conquer in order to obtain valuable loot.
