72 Hz
one update every 13.9 ms
What this test sends:
72 packets per second of 350 bytes, matching Arena Breakout: Infinite rather than a generic ping.

MoreFun moved the PC servers from about 20 to 72 tick with Season 4 (8 January 2026), announced with the season update.
Run the test above for at least 60 seconds. Here is what each
number means for this game specifically.
Red lines (packet loss)
In a raid a lost update can be the shot that should have hit. Loss above 0.5% is enough to notice. If you see red lines here while not playing, the problem is on your line.
Jitter
At 72 Hz the server sends an update every 14 ms. Jitter above 7 ms means updates often land in the wrong tick, which you see as enemies moving in small jumps.
Ping
Under 50 ms is good, 50 to 90 ms is playable. Above that you will lose most close fights against players with a low ping.
What you see in game, and which number on this page explains it.
At about 20 updates per second, the server only knew where you were every 50 ms. Many shots and movements fell between two updates, and the game felt imprecise no matter how good your line was. At 72 tick the interval is 14 ms, and the server sees most of what you do.
That makes your own connection more visible. On a slow server, a little jitter disappeared in the coarse timing. At 72 Hz, jitter above 7 ms already means updates landing in the wrong tick. Players who felt fine before Season 4 can feel worse after it on the same line.
In an extraction shooter, this has a price. One lost fight costs the gear you brought in. A one-minute test before a raid is cheaper than finding out during it.
Raid length is the last factor. A raid lasts long enough for one Wi-Fi burst or one spike from a background download to hit at the wrong moment. Players who measure one clean minute and then lose a fight to lag have usually not measured long enough. Let this test run for the length of a raid, 20 to 30 minutes, and look at the timeline afterwards. One red mark in that window is the one that would have cost the raid.
If the chart above shows packet loss or high jitter, work through
these in order.
What tick rate does Arena Breakout: Infinite use?
72 Hz on PC since Season 4 (8 January 2026). Before that, players measured about 20 Hz. This test sends 72 Hz.
Why do my shots not register?
Usually packet loss or high jitter. The shot was drawn on your screen, but the update did not reach the server in time. Look for red lines or high jitter here.
Is it my connection or the server?
Run this test during a raid. If the chart is clean and the raid lags for everyone, it is the server. Loss or a jumping ping here points to your line.
What is a good ping for Arena Breakout: Infinite?
Under 50 ms is good, up to 90 ms is playable. A steady ping matters as much as a low one.
Did the 72 tick update make my ping worse?
No. Ping is the time to the server and back, and the tick rate does not change it. What changed is how precisely the server registers what you do, which makes jitter and packet loss easier to notice than before.
