Overview
BR1: INFINITE is a third-person shooter game that utilizes a risk-based system, built on the Solana Blockchain. It is an "Infinite Royale" where players pay a $1 fee in SOL to enter the game and earn rewards for eliminating other players. The reward for eliminating an enemy is either $1 or 10% of the enemy's total earnings in the game. Players can keep 85-90% of the rewards they earn during the game. Now, this concept for any avid shooter fan is extremely attractive, capitalizing on your skill to get rewarded for actively playing the game. Let's dive more into what BR1 has in store for its players and what an Infinite Royale actually means.
Game Lore
Set in a dystopian world driven by profit and survival, BR1’s universe revolves around brutal combat tournaments where genetically engineered Apes, advanced Droids, and desperate Humans fight for dominance and wealth. Each Operative represents a unique background and species, offering different bonuses tied to their in-game performance. Apes are the strongest earners, Droids excel in durability, and Humans, still unreleased, reflect the raw desperation of this high-stakes world. The lore gives flavor to the chaos, explaining why every Operative fights not just for survival, but for the promise of fortune and freedom.
Gameplay and Features
BR1: INFINITE blends the tension of extraction shooters with a persistent risk economy. Players choose a risk mode, pay their entry fee, and spawn directly into live combat. Each elimination earns a payout tied to that mode’s value, while death means losing your entry and resetting your run. Unlike traditional battle royales, the server never truly resets, creating an ongoing battlefield that rewards both survival and aggression.
Free-for-All serves as a no-risk mode where newcomers can train, complete missions, and level up without paying entry fees. Once comfortable, players can move to paid modes where real-money stakes heighten every moment. The gameplay emphasizes situational awareness, quick rotations, and smart resource management, every bullet and movement decision could mean profit or loss.
A unique mechanic called the Earnings Retention Bonus (ERB) lets players increase their share of winnings based on the Operatives and weapon skins they own. Equipping specific assets raises your ERB percentage, allowing you to keep more from each kill. With enough Operatives and weapons, this bonus can reach significant levels, adding a layer of strategy to loadout building beyond just cosmetics.

Game Modes
Infinite Royale is a unique pay-to-spawn, kill-to-earn shooter game mode in BR1: INFINITE that comes with a risk-based element. Players spawn into a map with up to 300 other players and work their way towards the center, where they can access stronger weapons, ammo, and equipment. However, obstacles limit the ability to return to the edge. Players earn 10% or the 'Spawn Fee' for each player eliminated and keep 85% of their earnings when eliminated. There is no timer or set end to the game, allowing players to progress at their own pace.
For you to come out alive with your earnings, you will find a in the upper right corner of the screen, next to the display of your earnings, a feature called the "Survival clock." It is represented by a blue bar that gradually fills over a period of 10 minutes. Once the bar is completely filled, players can activate the action button to initiate a 30 second countdown. If a player remains still and does not take any damage during this countdown, they will be automatically removed from the game and retain 90% of their earnings.

However, if the player moves or takes damage at any point during the countdown, the timer will reset and the player will need to wait for the bar to fill again before attempting to survive again. This adds an incredibly tense and competitive layer to BR1 and its unique shooter experience.
Operatives
Every player kicks things off with a base Operative and some starter weapons. Operatives come in three types: Apes, Droids, and Humans. Each one has its own backstory and offers different Earnings Retention Bonuses, or ERBs for short. Apes usually give the biggest bonus, Droids come next, and Humans offer the lowest. You can get more Operatives through loot boxes, missions, or by leveling up your Infinite Pass.

NFTs and Blockchain
In the world of BR1, players can choose from a variety of unique and customizable playable characters known as NFTs (non-fungible tokens). These NFTs include Apes, Droids, and Humans, each with their own distinct abilities and attributes. The Apes are known for their brute strength and powerful melee attacks, while the Droids are highly skilled in technology and long-range combat. Humans, on the other hand, are versatile and well-rounded characters that can adapt to various situations. Players can collect and trade these NFTs on the marketplace, adding to their collection of playable characters and unlocking new possibilities in the game.

They are primarily used for completing dangerous tasks to avoid human casualties. However, due to the high density alloys used to produce them, droids are only available to the government and the incredibly wealthy, who use them to participate in the BR1 Games. In this society, the gap between social classes is substantial and growing, with everyday people struggling to survive with limited access to resources or work opportunities. Despite this, circumstances can arise that force everyday people to participate in BR1.
