From a visual perspective, MaxAce Collab series does not seek to emulate the heft of traditional daggers, but rather emphasises lightweight construction, a mechanical aesthetic and high recognisability from a first-person perspective. A unified straight-blade design ensures a consistent series identity, whilst varying blade colours, surface textures and handle finishes create distinct individual styles for each model, making them resemble professional tactical tools whilst also serving as collectible aesthetic skins.
Tips: The designs of single-edged and double-edged blades are actually tailored to the practical requirements of military operations.For example, the straight cutting edge of a double-edged blade makes it suitable for piercing and making holes, whilst a single-edged blade has a sturdier tip, making it suitable for cutting ropes, opening crates and similar tasks.
MaxAce Collab Animations
The Arena Breakout MaxAce Blades feature a full set of finger-flip inspection animations, attack-and-sheath presentation, delivering a refined melee visual experience.With its perfectly balanced weight, it feels brilliant in the hand.In draw animation, the blade glides smoothly between your fingertips, while in inspection animation, the character can perform fancy knife tricks in hands.Both starting and finishing animation are quite eye-catching.
Candy Trap and Datura also feature a dedicated knife-flip sequence.You can toss and catch the knife with bold, sweeping movements to show off skills.
In combat, the MaxAce Blade can perform four-hit combo. The first strike is a rapid thrust with the blade held in one hand and the third attack triggers a tactical combo, switching to a two-handed grip to deliver a heavy thrust. There is also a four-hit sheathing sequence, during which the MaxAce Blade spins smoothly back into its sheath once the chain is over.
Also, if you wish to refer to the melee weapon statistics in this section,this image is based on the Chinese beta version. Official figures may change following the set launch, so please take note.
Draw Cost and Advice
Based on the information currently available, the Chinese version of MaxAce is priced at approximately $65 when sold directly. It is estimated that this version will remain at a similar price range—around $65 to $75—once it goes live.We are unsure whether any official discount vouchers will be available. However, it is certain that purchasing multiple MaxAce Blades will result in corresponding discounts, with the discount increasing as the quantity purchased rises.The ultimate discount on a six-cosmetic bundle could reach around 60%. Pull bundles require players to purchase Military Supply Cards to draw them, though the exact cost is as yet unknown. Personally, I would recommend drawing the MAXACE Datura.Of course, if you do not wish to draw, you may want to check the MAXACE Original, as it features the same blade design as the special edition.
Conclusion
The Arena Breakout x MaxAce collection is best suited to players who value distinctive OTF knife designs and polished inspection animations. Datura and Candy Trap are the premium prize-pool choices, while other MaxAce blades are safer direct-purchase alternative for players who want a similar blade profile without chasing a draw. Because the global launch date hasn’t yet been released, final prices and bundle discounts may change, players should check the live event page before spending. Compare each knife’s draw, inspection and sheath animations, then set a fixed budget. At the same time, if you need any Military Supply Cards as event currency, please review the available options on BuffBuff.They have been working closely with the official on this event and are able to offer the best prices for Arena Breakout top-up.
