good vid entertaining and all............ but if u can pay to fill 3-4 mags of the most expensive bullets/best ammo plus 4 others mags/120ammo in ur secure case ur just gonna run trough everybody honestly;) just to sumerize the vid
Most rigs are bigger on the inside so it's a good idea to fill them up with loot and put them in your bag. Also to save up on storage space, remove mags and grips from guns.
Spending real money for in-game currency in an extraction shooter, where full kit chads can easily die to some leg meta rats feels more like a low IQ tax rather than p2w for me. Also for a Chinese who grew up playing Tencent's games I would say they are being subtle with ABI, back in my days they would sell skins that give damage boost or reduced recoil or faster reload or shit like that.
They give you a 1x2 security case for free. That being said, the most expensive item (by a long shot $21mil) the secret document is also a 1x2 item. Meaning you can get the infinite money glitch and securely get it out, dead or alive
It doesn't work like that I believe, if you buy it from the market you can't take it into a raid so you just wasted money as you can't sell it either iirc
yeah they fixed it now. But back in the days when its early beta for mobile, people abused it a lot and i guess they saw it and add a restriction. Tho i played around that time i didnt even think abt that method lol@shikikanaz4624
36:00 Big mistake for Free2play players.... They sell immediately before they check the prize. Tip for selling item fast but still at the same prize. When you sell in the market you see that the item you sell is cheaper than the market, that makes you lose profits. Try click the prize chart where people sell the most and also recently and dont choose the top chart cuz no one is buyin them. Thats it, just click the chart and sell. Your item will follow the prize of the market instead of the default. Allot of noob player got caught with unprofitable sold items. And also guns are way more profitable when selling them separately instead of the full attached guns. It waste selling slots but its worth the money.
I’d like to add on AND summarize, 90% of the time putting something on the market pays more with a wait time for it to sell, simply market items before going into a raid to prevent wait time
I always check the contact prices first before putting on the market to prevent wasting time. A item worth 50k sold to a contact is better than listing on market for 55k profit if it takes 12-24 hrs for it to sell and you lose that item slot for that time.
So ??? Yeah if you are crazy to spend thousands you can unlock tanks, but you need skill to play. Poijt of pay to win is to have something that normal non paying players cant ever earn / have

They do give you a 1x2 case (for 7 days) in mobile now well it gets reset every week so you gotta raid atleast ten times every week to claim it, and it can be cheesed aswell so you feel like you have permanent 1x2 case for mobile AB
Been playing IOS and PC version of AB for a total of 2 years now. It is NOT pay to win, this game requires skills. Gear is nothing if you're out in the open and don't clear corners or communicate with teams.
Well just goes to more inaccurate use of pay to win cause in tarkov people call the unheard version pay to win but you don't get the direct credit benefit you get ABI. You still have to win your fights with skill but having Koen being something you can buy makes people think they can win and then becomes predatory micro transactions which is worse than it being pay to win. Same goes for war thunder haha spent too much on that game myself.
@@angelmatzumoto7642 or 60 bucks for currency you think will win with then guy drops you with mp5 and dumdum so you spend more to try to win again like I said it's the predatory nature that I despise more than even if it's pay to win which is why I haven't played since they brought in mtx
brooo I got to colonel 5 on Ghost Recon Phantom with starter weapons and was fighting against people at ranked General, never spent any money on it but enjoyed every second of it. Good memory :)
funny, you spawn inside the bunker in infinite in the mobile you need to unlock the door to get in the bunker area, and that is LOUD like the entire map knows kind of loud there are 2 entrances and is often very contested because there are locked rooms with _very_ good loot in there
im free to play, on my main i have over 34 million koen and 42 million stash value. and i dont even play on it as much. just doing deke barters. i find it hard to lose money if youre smart.
ABI is free to play but you can top up if you want for whatever reasons. Some are for Event Skins but most people don't spend real money for High Tier Gears, they spend it on Area Keys. This will make your top up more profitable and rewarding.
I really do enjoy taking some time off from Tarkov with some Arena Breakout from time to time but there sure are things that are sort of "off putting" so to speak. My main concerns are: 1. The amount of hackers in ranked games, (saw a guy on killcam literally tracking me through walls) 2. It isn't pay to win per se imo, but having secure containers constrained by a time limit is not fun to say the least. 3. Loot value is very low compared to gear and item prices, you'll need to loot very high traffic areas to get anything of decent value. (this is even more bitter when joining a game with gear worth 100k or more then get taken out by a hacker. 4. Having a set kit value to play other game modes (should be free to play with whatever gear you want too no matter the value. In conclusion: I enjoy it a lot when atleast one of the previous concerns are not present (hackers), the other things I can live with. I think it's a nice transition if you wanna try Tarkov but you're new to these types of games. Overall a solid 6/10 :D Would recommend!
The more hotter the area, The higher the chance Good loot are going to spawn. If there's more than 3squad in an area, a Red loot(Price is 2M+) is going to spawn This always happens to me, Ive played arena breakout both mobile and pc my peak rank is Expert 4
Use rigs or armorrigs for tetrising(Organizing your loot), theyre really helpfull especially where theres a bag that can be use for tertris. Some rigs had extra slot in'em than the rigs size itself. Instead of bringing guns try detached the gear/attachment and just bring expensive guns in your primary and secondary. Try to remember which gun is cheap and expensive so you wont regret bringing expensive guns instead of cheap guns. Sharing knowledge for timmies out there who needs help to get rich without pay2win.
Hey there! Just wanted to say, sometimes in the case of expensive valuables its worth it to check if the npc has a better price for it. Talking about the 180k+ valuables
I'm sure you already know that there are lots of things you could optimize in the gameplay. I think you do a good job of highlighting the important elements. For a new player, you certainly do well to show how the game is approachable.
A question for vets of this game. Is it better to sell all the misc items that you get for koen? Or should I keep them to trade for items from the Contacts?
I have Never collect garbage stuff for exchanging . As for me, it’s wasting of space + you can by missing items from market. For example: 926 tier 5 vest costs 120k koen, if you buy items to exchange it will be cost 100 k.
Type 8 is worth it, price same as dumdum but sacrificing range for crazy high damage that 2-4 tap any one (even thigh armour wont help help enemy if u aim for thier shin or feet)
its is when the objective of the game its the economy and you can buy koen, get a battle pass and even a Case with more slots to save legendary item over 1.000.000+ value. but anyways that not mean the game its imposible to play for free players (Even me)
its also much less rewarding to spend irl cash in ABI cuz the mobile follows the same exact conversion of 1:1000 but the prices of items in AB mobile is much cheaper so u can get more items per koens in abmobile (though the price of sellable items are also super high so it doesnt matter when you play f2p it only affects the p2w)
ABM here. Even though you pay for the currency it's still not pay to win even though you bought yourself a high tier loot you still dying the same way as non pay players.you a chad with t6? You died as the same way you're not immortal. Not pay to win unless.you only need to be good if wanted to play with ease not about pay to win they ain't giving you extras health. Edit: the currency pay is just to make your account survive and not going broke.
ABM player here since Season 1! I spend money to buy battle passes for the koens to not get broke lmaooo while my newbie friends casually has over 40M storage value after playing for 1 month lol
That's literally the first argument of players who play any p2w game. It's like when you ask cheaters why they cheat, they say something similar, like how it's hard to play against sweats so you buy yourself a little bit of advantage to keep it together. 🤦🏼♂Like come on man.
@@KJTsukoyomi suck to be you my new account with lvl 24 just got almost 17 million storage value it's about skill and how many accounts losses lol I mean we literally make a new account just to play again because of the old account is too broke Edit:by the way I'm AB beta players
Anecdotal evidence that you have succeeded doesn't disprove that the structure of the game is a p2w model yes high skill players will have high value stashes but the game is built to have many players reaching for card to keep going. I have high stash value in tarkov that only requires looting and surviving not being amazing at winning fights.
i always obliterated in ghost recon online. the most kill I get from the match is one or two, but the aesthetics of the game is faithful to the game so I have fun.
It would be interesting how it is a bit further down the wipe. If right now many people still use starter gear, then ofc the money buying aspect isn't that big of a deal. If most players use advanced armor, weapons and ammo, then the starters could be incentivised to grab some koen since you can buy gear very early on. BTW can you get the secure containers through gameplay?
You start the game with a free 2m and multiple free kits + events that give more free kits and ranked and you get even more free kits. Did I mention the extra free kits?
strict definition- yes. but reality... nah. you do have an advantage if you pay money, but its not that great. the main thing is that you can buy a bigger security box in case you find valuable loot and die before extracting. But in reality it lets you maybe keep 10 -30% of your gear cost when you get killed before extracting. Unless you find a red item or bring in some really expensive ammo, its not that huge an advantage, although it does let you play a bit riskier by bringing in expensive stuff you might not want to risk otherwise. But now you can't put expensive helmets or thermals into that, so its utility went down quite a bit.
I'm agree with this final conclusion BUT ! But in one click without a patch the next day they can change the spawn rate of rare and suddently you don't make cash, you'r angry and you use cashshop. I mean it's okay but it's dangerous it's depend of the good faith of developer..
Seems pc doesn't have visual audio cues, i freakin' hate it on mobile! People dont even use audio to play the game, just visual audio cues that pop up on the screen
Tbh i always hear kids Saying Nah, You can buy all you want and your just gonna die anyways like bringing leg meta to against full chads duh ofcourse people will Hold Angles with M61s since it 2 shots anyone in the chest
I mean it is technically pay to win but with this kind of game it’s hit or miss if it really affects you that much. You won’t really know if they bought the gear or just found it lol.
Good visor (t4 above) and dropshot can safe u from these, the combo made enemy confused for few sec trying to figuring where the leg, use these sec to blast em with bullet
If you can spend money to get items that give an in game stats that are improved over what someone who has not spent that money has access to, then it’s P2W. But P2W varies. Warthunder is P2W, WoT is P2W, Tarkov is P2W. But all of those games are pretty well balanced - maybe with the exception of Tarkov, which is more ‘pay for QoL’ to the extent you can win, even against someone in a premium vehicle or using gold ammo. Compare that to, say Raid: Shadow Legends, where someone who spends money on random heroes can complete the *every day, normal* missions they put up, while a F2P cannot, and you have a world of difference. For people looking to make a stand - and I understand why they would - then this game is absolutely P2W. … and of course, not everyone is as good as FairTX :-)
Tarkov = cheaters and P2W, WT is P2W, Enlisted is P2W and WoT is P2W. Arena Breakout is now become camping near extraction point. I see entire squad camping near the extraction point with snipers once you enter they killing field.
You can pay all you want, but on the battlefield you depend on skills. Someone who can get in every raid with a T6 Armor can still get melted down by a T1 player that goes for legs. Sounds like Skill2Win to me.
since the game is brand new, this doesnt hold any weight because people are quite equally geared but try this like a year later and i promise it wont be fun. thats just the reality of f2p games.
I'm a casual playing in AB mobile and I got more gear and money to buy gear that idk wtf to do with it but just sell the gear for dirt cheap in the market and then build stupid guns, so if pc market economy is like mobile then there wont be a problem because even the highest tier of armor is surprisingly cheap in mobile. Although this assumes that gear spawns are the same as mobile so it may be better or worse, we'll see in time.
I am playing AB in mobile And doesn't matter you are wearing T6 My crap BM59 with M61 2 tap your chest Ammo is the best place to spend money in AB You got 200k AEK with us ammo while I got a bot gun with best ammo then I will win 8 out of 10 face offs
While I think they should take it out once they add the battle pass and skins, I've experienced taking out geared players on my own. So Its not impossible to take out those people who buy their way in the game. It's the subscription of the secure containers that is a bigger issue. Because it does give you an advantage over making money in game which is the basis of the entire game. Both still really bad business practice that turns off a lot of people from even trying the game
HAHA! Ghost Recon Phantoms was a good game. I didn't spend a dime. Yes, I was dying a lot from the pay-to-win players, but when I killed them, it felt good!
This game really tempts me to upgrade my GPU lmao. When the Beta came out, I couldn't play because my 1070 is too old but seeing more and more of the game seriously has me considering upgrading!
It completely removes any risk-reward feelings and sense of accomplishment. People play games because of how they make them feel. Even if you spend $0 on the game play for 500 hours, get max level and have the best loot, it means completely nothing. I have to however praise their pr and marketing department, their strategy is so complex that it made you guys defend p2w in an extraction shooter looter game. Congrats!
Having played Tarkov a lot and this game quite a bit, it's not really pay to win because paying will not buy you skills and knowledge. And I have killed and looted better geared players a lot to prove that. If it's expensive, it's more like "pay a lot to maybe win".
not p2w, its pay2fast, but honestly the only anoying thing about that is how the market prices inflate, a god way to fix it would be just being able to buy every single item ment 4 pvp (armor, ammo, attachments, heals) on traders, so theres a price cap that stops ppl from selling stuff 4x the price
Doesn't matter if you can spend money to get gear that puts you on par with the best stuff in the game or stuff you can buy that gives you a significant advantage over everything available for free. Being able to buy power of ANY SORT is p2w. And in ABI's case it's hypocritical because the game director explicitly stated in a pre-launch interview that the game would not only not have any sort of p2w in it, but you would not be able to buy in-game currency for real money because that would disrupt the idea they're trying to achieve. So not only is he a hypocrite, he's a bold-faced liar.
the mobile version has alot of maps that the pc version doesnt have, theres tv station, northridge, port, i suggest playing mobile if you can, but it is very hectic compared to pc and very hard

@@leonardoariewibowo7867idk what server you play but sorry, in Asia server you don't get to rest I swear 😂 even in normal maps you'll meet T6 thermals with mk14 💀 one day I was just doing a simple zero to hero in farm, you know just having some relax time in the game and boom the first squad I meet is a full T6 thermal like dude did I spawn in a forbidden farm or something coz I'm sure I played on normal farm 😭
@762ISLIFE oofff 😆😆
Awesome to see you playing ABI Fair!
Y'all gonna get permanent 1x2 secure case when the game launches. On mobile we don't have such luxury so be thankful
They do give you a 1x2 case (for 7 days) in mobile now well it gets reset every week so you gotta raid atleast ten times every week to claim it, and it can be cheesed aswell so you feel like you have permanent 1x2 case for mobile AB
@@demasathallahat least till the end of the season yeah
Been playing IOS and PC version of AB for a total of 2 years now. It is NOT pay to win, this game requires skills. Gear is nothing if you're out in the open and don't clear corners or communicate with teams.
Well just goes to more inaccurate use of pay to win cause in tarkov people call the unheard version pay to win but you don't get the direct credit benefit you get ABI. You still have to win your fights with skill but having Koen being something you can buy makes people think they can win and then becomes predatory micro transactions which is worse than it being pay to win. Same goes for war thunder haha spent too much on that game myself.
@@txdeskpopyeah Well, in war thunder You spend 60 dollars and get a top tier vehicle.
Here in AB You spend 60 dollars For a Skin, lol
@@angelmatzumoto7642 or 60 bucks for currency you think will win with then guy drops you with mp5 and dumdum so you spend more to try to win again like I said it's the predatory nature that I despise more than even if it's pay to win which is why I haven't played since they brought in mtx
brooo I got to colonel 5 on Ghost Recon Phantom with starter weapons and was fighting against people at ranked General, never spent any money on it but enjoyed every second of it.
Good memory :)
funny, you spawn inside the bunker in infinite
in the mobile you need to unlock the door to get in the bunker area, and that is LOUD like the entire map knows kind of loud
there are 2 entrances and is often very contested because there are locked rooms with _very_ good loot in there
im free to play, on my main i have over 34 million koen and 42 million stash value. and i dont even play on it as much. just doing deke barters. i find it hard to lose money if youre smart.
So they just cut out the middle man and started selling currency themselves...
😂
Just like they did with WoW
not much thought expected from a guy with that anime pfp and that name
Tip for space saving: if you remove the mag off the mp5 and fold its stock, it can get to 2x1 :)
ABI is free to play but you can top up if you want for whatever reasons. Some are for Event Skins but most people don't spend real money for High Tier Gears, they spend it on Area Keys. This will make your top up more profitable and rewarding.
I really do enjoy taking some time off from Tarkov with some Arena Breakout from time to time but there sure are things that are sort of "off putting" so to speak.
My main concerns are:
1. The amount of hackers in ranked games, (saw a guy on killcam literally tracking me through walls)
2. It isn't pay to win per se imo, but having secure containers constrained by a time limit is not fun to say the least.
3. Loot value is very low compared to gear and item prices, you'll need to loot very high traffic areas to get anything of decent value. (this is even more bitter when joining a game with gear worth 100k or more then get taken out by a hacker.
4. Having a set kit value to play other game modes (should be free to play with whatever gear you want too no matter the value.
In conclusion:
I enjoy it a lot when atleast one of the previous concerns are not present (hackers), the other things I can live with.
I think it's a nice transition if you wanna try Tarkov but you're new to these types of games.
Overall a solid 6/10 :D
Would recommend!
Disagree with #4 that's what normals is for
@@SkeletonizedTV Each to their own of course but I think it leaves no room to show your skill :D
I haven’t played any tarkov but I am addicted to this game
Welcome to our fandom recruit
ive been playing arena breakout for over a year from the start watching this video reminds me of my beginer days
4:45 the CoD/Apex Legends jump… yeah, we know where he came over from…
24:06 man when the music started i got a jumpscare because i thought that was a bullet sound that pierced the sh*t out of the character's head 😂😂😂
The more hotter the area, The higher the chance Good loot are going to spawn.
If there's more than 3squad in an area, a Red loot(Price is 2M+) is going to spawn
This always happens to me, Ive played arena breakout both mobile and pc my peak rank is Expert 4
40:59 It might take a day or two sometimes but I'll never miss your videos man.
If you click on the star on the top right of an item in the market, it favorites it and it shows up in quick equip.
Use rigs or armorrigs for tetrising(Organizing your loot), theyre really helpfull especially where theres a bag that can be use for tertris. Some rigs had extra slot in'em than the rigs size itself. Instead of bringing guns try detached the gear/attachment and just bring expensive guns in your primary and secondary. Try to remember which gun is cheap and expensive so you wont regret bringing expensive guns instead of cheap guns. Sharing knowledge for timmies out there who needs help to get rich without pay2win.
Hey there! Just wanted to say, sometimes in the case of expensive valuables its worth it to check if the npc has a better price for it. Talking about the 180k+ valuables
I'm sure you already know that there are lots of things you could optimize in the gameplay. I think you do a good job of highlighting the important elements. For a new player, you certainly do well to show how the game is approachable.
WHAT MANOR? (Mansion) IT'S A MOTEL 😭🙏
In AB mobile getting 1 mil every 3 - 4 raids is just crazy cause for pc is normal
17:49 you hear the alarm? That's the basement safe
In 14:54 in the video,was kinda funny due to the bot warning you not to do any trouble,even you did :3
The video was great! More ABI please!
A question for vets of this game. Is it better to sell all the misc items that you get for koen? Or should I keep them to trade for items from the Contacts?
I have Never collect garbage stuff for exchanging . As for me, it’s wasting of space + you can by missing items from market. For example: 926 tier 5 vest costs 120k koen, if you buy items to exchange it will be cost 100 k.
And dont forget if youre broke theres a best gun for brokies.....MP5 with dumdum round leg abuser or S12K with type8 buckshot leg destroyer.
Type 8 is worth it, price same as dumdum but sacrificing range for crazy high damage that 2-4 tap any one (even thigh armour wont help help enemy if u aim for thier shin or feet)
its is when the objective of the game its the economy and you can buy koen, get a battle pass and even a Case with more slots to save legendary item over 1.000.000+ value.
but anyways that not mean the game its imposible to play for free players (Even me)
its also much less rewarding to spend irl cash in ABI cuz the mobile follows the same exact conversion of 1:1000 but the prices of items in AB mobile is much cheaper so u can get more items per koens in abmobile (though the price of sellable items are also super high so it doesnt matter when you play f2p it only affects the p2w)
ABM here.
Even though you pay for the currency it's still not pay to win even though you bought yourself a high tier loot you still dying the same way as non pay players.you a chad with t6? You died as the same way you're not immortal.
Not pay to win unless.you only need to be good if wanted to play with ease not about pay to win they ain't giving you extras health.
Edit: the currency pay is just to make your account survive and not going broke.
ABM player here since Season 1! I spend money to buy battle passes for the koens to not get broke lmaooo while my newbie friends casually has over 40M storage value after playing for 1 month lol
That's literally the first argument of players who play any p2w game. It's like when you ask cheaters why they cheat, they say something similar, like how it's hard to play against sweats so you buy yourself a little bit of advantage to keep it together. 🤦🏼♂Like come on man.
@@KJTsukoyomi suck to be you my new account with lvl 24 just got almost 17 million storage value it's about skill and how many accounts losses lol I mean we literally make a new account just to play again because of the old account is too broke
Edit:by the way I'm AB beta players
Anecdotal evidence that you have succeeded doesn't disprove that the structure of the game is a p2w model yes high skill players will have high value stashes but the game is built to have many players reaching for card to keep going. I have high stash value in tarkov that only requires looting and surviving not being amazing at winning fights.
@@KJTsukoyomi me too dude
the problem with me its that i dont even have a phone, my dog broke my phone and i play in the phone of my mom now 💀💀💀💀💀💀
I got a strong feeling that background music was made by Suni AI, am i right? :D
The grenade throw at 33:50 was epic!!!
i always obliterated in ghost recon online. the most kill I get from the match is one or two, but the aesthetics of the game is faithful to the game so I have fun.
It would be interesting how it is a bit further down the wipe. If right now many people still use starter gear, then ofc the money buying aspect isn't that big of a deal. If most players use advanced armor, weapons and ammo, then the starters could be incentivised to grab some koen since you can buy gear very early on. BTW can you get the secure containers through gameplay?
You start the game with a free 2m and multiple free kits + events that give more free kits and ranked and you get even more free kits. Did I mention the extra free kits?
17:01 not really all the guns but yes you can pick which one you wanna use and modify
Bro is such a baller he solo Armoury 🗿
01:45 Drops Saiga for BM, first rookie mistake
The BMs got M80s tho
@@KJTsukoyomi yeah, neah...nope
A funny situation would be players paying money to get good gear only to get shot by a naked with ap slugs on the head or face
And the most important... you can fold stuff... FOLD !!!
When you got mp5 you can fold stock and take off the mag to make smaller
get ready for season 1 of ABI tomorrow !
5:56 Wait did that guy have the groka unifom skin
1:41 ITS AN M14 AHHHHHH
That a BM, M14 in this game have polimer funiture
strict definition- yes. but reality... nah. you do have an advantage if you pay money, but its not that great. the main thing is that you can buy a bigger security box in case you find valuable loot and die before extracting. But in reality it lets you maybe keep 10 -30% of your gear cost when you get killed before extracting. Unless you find a red item or bring in some really expensive ammo, its not that huge an advantage, although it does let you play a bit riskier by bringing in expensive stuff you might not want to risk otherwise. But now you can't put expensive helmets or thermals into that, so its utility went down quite a bit.
I'm agree with this final conclusion BUT ! But in one click without a patch the next day they can change the spawn rate of rare and suddently you don't make cash, you'r angry and you use cashshop. I mean it's okay but it's dangerous it's depend of the good faith of developer..
After ABI thermal nerf, the mobile thermal got nerfed for whatever reason, from 750k to 850k for one unit☠️☠️☠️
Is it paid to win? NO! Everyone dies. Stray bullets, random grenades, gang ups, and death. The instant kind.
Seems pc doesn't have visual audio cues, i freakin' hate it on mobile!
People dont even use audio to play the game, just visual audio cues that pop up on the screen
Why does the OKP-7 have that weird reticle lol
Tbh i always hear kids Saying Nah, You can buy all you want and your just gonna die anyways like bringing leg meta to against full chads duh ofcourse people will Hold Angles with M61s since it 2 shots anyone in the chest
Here's the thing. Spending money doesn't matter if the players doesn't want to murder every person they see
if you want to remove items from your inventory or from the enemies press x on them
26:46 well that could've been 800k-850k
Fair you’re a legend
I mean it is technically pay to win but with this kind of game it’s hit or miss if it really affects you that much. You won’t really know if they bought the gear or just found it lol.
as a arena breakout mobile player all i can say is yeah you got good armor helmet gun and ammo but can it save you from da rats?
Good visor (t4 above) and dropshot can safe u from these, the combo made enemy confused for few sec trying to figuring where the leg, use these sec to blast em with bullet
If you can spend money to get items that give an in game stats that are improved over what someone who has not spent that money has access to, then it’s P2W.
But P2W varies. Warthunder is P2W, WoT is P2W, Tarkov is P2W. But all of those games are pretty well balanced - maybe with the exception of Tarkov, which is more ‘pay for QoL’ to the extent you can win, even against someone in a premium vehicle or using gold ammo.
Compare that to, say Raid: Shadow Legends, where someone who spends money on random heroes can complete the *every day, normal* missions they put up, while a F2P cannot, and you have a world of difference.
For people looking to make a stand - and I understand why they would - then this game is absolutely P2W.
… and of course, not everyone is as good as FairTX :-)
Tarkov = cheaters and P2W, WT is P2W, Enlisted is P2W and WoT is P2W. Arena Breakout is now become camping near extraction point. I see entire squad camping near the extraction point with snipers once you enter they killing field.
YOU ARE NOT TO SHOOT RANDOMLY EVEN IF YOU KNOW THERE IS A ENEMY BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE UNDETECTED!!!
It doesnt matter how geared you are.
Skill will always be the best thing you have.
T6 guy? Nah id use MP5 with dumdum and leg meta in mobile.
i got good guns and loot by playing cover ops so when in doubt become the scav
You can pay all you want, but on the battlefield you depend on skills. Someone who can get in every raid with a T6 Armor can still get melted down by a T1 player that goes for legs. Sounds like Skill2Win to me.
how do you get so much action, when I join farm I feel like I am completely alone, same for valley
Farm for me often too but Farm i always meet players. Honestly, dont understand the matchmaking of this game.
since the game is brand new, this doesnt hold any weight because people are quite equally geared but try this like a year later and i promise it wont be fun. thats just the reality of f2p games.
I'm a casual playing in AB mobile and I got more gear and money to buy gear that idk wtf to do with it but just sell the gear for dirt cheap in the market and then build stupid guns, so if pc market economy is like mobile then there wont be a problem because even the highest tier of armor is surprisingly cheap in mobile. Although this assumes that gear spawns are the same as mobile so it may be better or worse, we'll see in time.
I am playing AB in mobile And doesn't matter you are wearing T6 My crap BM59 with M61 2 tap your chest Ammo is the best place to spend money in AB You got 200k AEK with us ammo while I got a bot gun with best ammo then I will win 8 out of 10 face offs
After playing tarkov for so long, I found arena breakout incredibly easy.
Another banger Fairtx
We call it suck rich boy in mobile version. They buy koen instead of uniform skin because they are not good enough.
You can buy more money but they will lose the gear if you suck.
While I think they should take it out once they add the battle pass and skins, I've experienced taking out geared players on my own. So Its not impossible to take out those people who buy their way in the game. It's the subscription of the secure containers that is a bigger issue. Because it does give you an advantage over making money in game which is the basis of the entire game. Both still really bad business practice that turns off a lot of people from even trying the game
HAHA! Ghost Recon Phantoms was a good game. I didn't spend a dime. Yes, I was dying a lot from the pay-to-win players, but when I killed them, it felt good!
This game really tempts me to upgrade my GPU lmao.
When the Beta came out, I couldn't play because my 1070 is too old but seeing more and more of the game seriously has me considering upgrading!
Ehh it ran fine on mine(1070 too) tho
@@rezza_f1re For real? I got a pop-up starting the game saying "nah bruh, we ain't gonna let you start this with your old ass GPU" lmao

@@rezza_f1re Just tried installing but now every time I launch the game and set the brightness it just CTDs without an error message :/
It completely removes any risk-reward feelings and sense of accomplishment. People play games because of how they make them feel. Even if you spend $0 on the game play for 500 hours, get max level and have the best loot, it means completely nothing. I have to however praise their pr and marketing department, their strategy is so complex that it made you guys defend p2w in an extraction shooter looter game. Congrats!
i love cookies in liquid form
Having played Tarkov a lot and this game quite a bit, it's not really pay to win because paying will not buy you skills and knowledge.
And I have killed and looted better geared players a lot to prove that.
If it's expensive, it's more like "pay a lot to maybe win".
not p2w, its pay2fast, but honestly the only anoying thing about that is how the market prices inflate, a god way to fix it would be just being able to buy every single item ment 4 pvp (armor, ammo, attachments, heals) on traders, so theres a price cap that stops ppl from selling stuff 4x the price
Bro just wait for the cosmetics, some weapons look magnificent
Isle you had alpha access can you still get in?
Well that's an opportunity for the ftp players like me. And that's a thing in the mobile version
most P2W was maybe WolfTeam :D basicly all Aeria games games, you bought armor and u survive almost everything
Doesn't matter if you can spend money to get gear that puts you on par with the best stuff in the game or stuff you can buy that gives you a significant advantage over everything available for free. Being able to buy power of ANY SORT is p2w. And in ABI's case it's hypocritical because the game director explicitly stated in a pre-launch interview that the game would not only not have any sort of p2w in it, but you would not be able to buy in-game currency for real money because that would disrupt the idea they're trying to achieve. So not only is he a hypocrite, he's a bold-faced liar.
the mobile version has alot of maps that the pc version doesnt have, theres tv station, northridge, port, i suggest playing mobile if you can, but it is very hectic compared to pc and very hard
is pay 2 win, you get bigger chest, find good lion, and keep it, then just collet money
Dogtags aren't worth anything. You shouldn't loot those
In port, these is needed for a "kinda safe" extract
Ig hes a tarkov player lol
