Breakout

This article or section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

Prior to Issue 21, Breakout was the Villain tutorial zone. It was replaced by a new co-op tutorial experience, although the zone itself was not removed from the game. Consequently, any characters that were in Breakout upon the release of Issue 21 are able to complete the old tutorial and exit to Mercy Island.

Overview

Breakout is the tutorial city zone in City of Villains.

The "Breakout" occurs from the Zigursky Penitentiary in Paragon City. Arachnos is engaged in battle with Longbow so that Destined Ones can escape.

Contacts

• H.T.
• Angel Lopez
• Jimmy Dortz
• Sakai Tamaki
• Arachnos Pilot

Neighborhoods

• The Yard (Level 1) (Music)
• Drop Zone (Music)

Exploration Badges

Jail Bird (multiple locations)

It is rumored around the Zig that the Bug Man escaped from this location.

Day Jobs

Pilot / Grounded (requires rogue/villain)

You have aided Arachnos by piloting its fliers, helping Lord Recluse better mobilize his troops, earning you the Pilot Day Job. Logging out near a Black Helicopter will earn you a Speed Bonus, when you log back in, for a short time.

---

Arachnos is more likely to pound you into dust than let you near one of their fliers. And your license is no good in Paragon City, it seems.

Transfer Points

After placing the bomb in the bunker for the Arachnos Pilot, return to him and you will be given a choice of contacts (Kalinda or Matthew Burke) and will be taken to Mercy Island.

Enemy Groups

• Escaped Prisoner
• Prison Guard

Notes

• Breakout is the reverse of Outbreak, the hero tutorial zone.
