BR1: Infinite is a Call of Duty rival that will pay you to play

If you fancy yourselves as something of a sharp-shooting expert, BR1: Infinite could be the game for you. For those who are constantly spamming the group chat and boasting about how they're the best Call of Duty player among you, it could be time for them to put their money where their mouth is.

More than your standard battle royale experience or extraction shooter, BR1: Infinite claims it'll actually pay you real-world money; well, that’s depending on how good you are.

Even though you might not be earning in the big leagues like Tyler "aBeZy" Pharris, you can apparently flex your shooter skills and make bank at the same time.

What is BR1: Infinite?

Developed by Bravo Ready and built on the Solana blockchain, BR1: Infinite is the Call of Duty rival that allows you to risk your own hard-earned cash by jumping into a competitive lobby for a "pay-to-spawn, kill-to-earn".

Unlike Call of Duty: Warzone's traditional battle royale model, BR1 runs on a continuous loop without match timers or designated start times. That means that as long as there are enough players to keep things ticking along, you can drop in whenever you want and earn.

For every kill you make, you can earn $1, with a flat $10 per hour retention rate just for staying alive.

There are different risk tiers to pick from, meaning you're supposed to be in control of how much you're willing to bet. These range from low-risk spawns at $0.1, through to high-risk $10 spawns if you think you're the next Ian "Crimsix" Porter.

At a time when extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov and ARC Raiders are all jostling for attention, BR1: Infinite's monetary incentive could give an advantage against the competition. Better yet, wannabe players can already check it out at the official BR1 website.

BR1: Infinite could have an anti-cheat problem

It's not exactly a secret that Activision has battled with CoD's anti-cheat for an age, with some players abandoning the shooter series altogether because they're sick of seeing cheaters fly across the map like Superman.

Given BR1: Infinite's cash incentive, this is an issue that many in the replies to Bravo Ready CEO Ryan Ever's post promoting the game have noted.

One skeptic wrote: "I mean this with all due respect. Your anticheat needs to be so good it's gonna need to see what people ate last Christmas cause the amount of people that will cheat in this game for that money incentive is gonna be insane."

Ever seemed to simply brush this off as he replied: "Agreed, come test it."

Another warned: "I just know this is gonna end up in a legal battle lol. Hold on lemme plug my aim bot in real quick."

A third critic complained: "Looks like rehashed store bought assets cobbled together with the most awkward looking gunfights imaginable. Bundled with very obvious crypto and web 3.0 or whatever point you people are on. All in all looks like a obv [expletive] rug pull game that might be popular for like a week."

With BR1: Infinite also bragging about a 25% rev share for creators, others were locked and loaded while ready to earn, as another replied to the OG post about the game and wrote: "Lads, I need this. Been ripping 3rd person shooters for god knows how long. I’d stream too! 😎

Another joked: "Want my 15-year-old son? Caught him gaming on his PC at 5:30 am yesterday he's committed."

The whole idea of effectively reversing the pay-to-play model on its head is an interesting one, but whether BR1: Infinite can deliver on that front and prove its critics wrong, only time will tell.
