Diving into Arena Breakout IGNITION's November 2025 Meta
Patch Hits: New Boss, Fresh Map, Big Shifts
Back on April 29, 2025, they dropped Northridge—a sprawling map with bosses like Fred, Rolf, Kurt, and Bernard—plus 120+ attachments, Secure Ops mode, AK-12 buffs, that AEK nerf to 800 RPM, and Ace31 getting some love. Fast-forward to Sep 19/22 Season 3: three new weapons, six items. November S3 predictions? Ace31 buffs incoming, FAL/MPX tweaks pushing HK416, Mosin, and M110 into S-Tier. Post-April nerfs sliced damage 15-25% but kept penetration solid; T4 ammo handles 90% of fights now. FAL's rocking 31% survival (per those Sep 19 lists). Go for T4 M80—850.5 dmg, 441 pen—over T1 LP's measly 13 pen/60 dmg.
