Edition Upgrades

If you'd like to further support the development of Gray Zone Warfare, you can upgrade to one of the game’s higher editions.

Each edition includes gear, weapons, and resources, giving PMCs a stronger starting point and offering extra value to those backing the game’s continued development. 

The highest edition is the Supporter Edition, which includes unique cosmetic apparel, a special designation, an exclusive morale patch, additional equipment, and the largest locker and lockbox. Supporter Edition owners also get early access to major updates through the Supporter Preview, several days before the full release.

Check out the full breakdown of all available editions in our latest article.

Soft Wipe

With Update 0.5, we are avoiding a full wipe and proceeding with a partial wipe instead. This will allow us to rebalance the in-game economy for the new update while letting players retain their progression and avoid having to grind from scratch.

Players will retain their progression from Update 0.4, including completed tasks, rank, unlocked apparel, vendor levels, and statistics, while their locker and money will be wiped.

When first entering Update 0.5, players will need to choose which mode they want to transfer their existing character progression to. This action is irreversible. The faction stays the same.

What’s Next

Update 0.5 marks another major step forward in the development of Gray Zone Warfare and towards Ground Zero. But there’s still much more to come. Where others end, we begin. 

We’ll continue supporting the game with regular patches, hotfixes, and ongoing improvements.  We’re also working on new features, content, and gameplay improvements for future major updates.

As always, your feedback plays an important role in shaping the future of the game. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the update. Please share your feedback and bug reports with us!

UPDATE 0.5.0.1 CHANGELOG 

Introduction

Update 0.5: Rogue Ops is here, introducing the Hideout, a new progression path where players gather resources, craft useful items, produce valuable goods, and take on risky smuggling operations. Three new Tier 4 points of interest bring new storylines to Lamang, while smarter AI introduces new challenges, including throwing grenades and executing downed players. We've also streamlined the health system to improve the combat experience.

New Features

Hideout

Rooms

• Laboratory

  • Players can craft medical items and stims, as well as produce other chemical substances that can be sold or used to craft more complex products

• Electronics Workshop

  • Players can disassemble electronic devices and extract valuable intel and crafting materials used to create tracking tags and hacking tools

• Utility Room

  • Provides power to the production rooms

Stations

Crafting

Hacking

Smuggling & Hunting

Notable Changes

Multiple Characters

• Players can now create up to four characters, each tied to a specific game mode (PvE or PvEvP) and faction

  • Limited to one character per faction and game mode combination

  • Account wipes have been retired. Players can instead create new characters in different factions or game modes

  • Players can also delete one character per week

• Players with existing characters must select a game mode when starting Rogue Ops

Seasonal Soft Wipe

• Players retain their progression from Update 0.4, including completed tasks, rank, unlocked apparel, vendor ranks, and statistics

• Equipment, locker contents, and money will be reset

Streamlined Health System

• We've streamlined the healing process so that treatment now applies to an entire body part rather than individual injuries

  • For example, if both bones in one leg are fractured, a single application of a splint can now treat both fractures

• We've reworked the bleeding system to give players more time to fight off opponents before needing to treat their wounds

  • Each body part now acts as a single source of bleeding

  • The bleeding rate depends on the ammunition type and the severity of the hit, including whether it damages flesh, organs, or bones

  • The total bleeding rate is calculated as the sum of bleeding from all affected body parts

  • Bleeding rates have been reduced across the board

• The improved health screen now provides more information about injuries and treatment

  • Updated symptom icons

  • New buff icons displaying beneficial effects from stims

  • Expanded body part tooltips

• Blood bags and drinks are now consumed by volume rather than by charge, meaning players use only the amount they need

• Medical items are now distinguished by quality

  • Higher-quality medical items work faster, and military-grade supplies are more effective than civilian alternatives

• Stims can no longer be purchased from vendors and must now be crafted

AI

• Smarter combat behavior and decision-making: AI NPCs acquire their targets faster and lose them more slowly, fire their first shot with less hesitation, and switch between targets without breaking off the fight. When they spot players, they turn and engage rather than immediately seeking cover, unless they're already under fire. Their combat decisions are also more consistent, adapting their positioning and tactics based on the distance to their targets and the weapons they're carrying. They maintain distance, sidestep, take cover, or advance as needed. They no longer repeatedly switch between actions when facing multiple enemies or waste time suppressing positions they cannot effectively hit

• Better combat awareness: AI NPCs will now treat their wounds when injured. Injured NPCs continue fighting when players are nearby, rather than turning their backs on them, and only check or treat their wounds when it’s safe to do so. They also reposition to avoid friendly fire. Alerted NPCs investigate noises and monitor distant enemies instead of instantly taking cover, but switch to combat as soon as they are shot at.

• Smarter use of cover: AI NPCs now select cover positions that allow them to engage their targets and spread out rather than crowding behind a single tree. They no longer take unnecessary routes around buildings or run past players just to reach cover, and only seek cover on another floor when it's accessible. They also no longer see or shoot over their own cover. When their cover is flanked, they move to a new position and avoid the old one for a while. Injured NPCs seek the nearest safe cover rather than running long distances in the open. They monitor distant gunfire but take cover only when sniper fire lands near them.

• Curiosity and aggression: AI NPCs no longer wait behind cover forever. If players remain hidden, they will eventually leave cover to find them, with more experienced soldiers moving sooner. If players are no longer at their last known position, they head to where players are most likely to have gone. Each takes its own route so the squad doesn’t move as one group, and they stay within the area they guard.

• New combat threats: Depending on their faction, some AI NPCs can now throw grenades to flush players out of cover. They can carry up to three grenades depending on their rank, take turns throwing them, and try to avoid injuring fellow soldiers. They also actively search for players in a coma and attempt to finish them off, making teamwork and positioning more important than ever.

• Increased difficulty: We've increased the overall AI difficulty in Tier 3 areas (Fort Narith, Midnight Sapphire, and Tiger Bay) and the new Tier 4 areas

World Updates

New Locations

• Constructed by the Soviets in the 1960s during the Vietnam War, RLSL-1 originally served as a military listening post, operating as part of a radio interception network alongside YBL-1 and Fort Narith. The facility was later converted into a radio observatory, but following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the original personnel departed, leaving the site entirely under the control of the Lamang Armed Forces. For decades, it was manned by little more than a skeleton crew responsible for basic maintenance.

• Over the years, some of the structures fell into disrepair, although much of the original equipment remained surprisingly functional. Even today, some of the aging computers can still be brought back to life when powered on. However, just a few months before the Event, the facility saw a sudden influx of LAF personnel, along with extensive modernization efforts and hastily conducted repairs. The timing seems far too convenient to be a coincidence, raising questions about exactly what was happening at RLSL-1 and whether those activities ever truly stopped.

• Established in 1956, Lakevale Sanctuary was once among the most respected medical institutions in the region. However, following the Lamangese Civil War in 1968, the facility was repurposed to house political opponents and others deemed undesirable by the new regime. Its reputation quickly deteriorated, and stories of patient mistreatment and questionable medical practices became commonplace.

• Following the Event, the Lamang Armed Forces established a permanent presence on the grounds, although the soldiers seem strangely reluctant to enter the main buildings, preferring to remain in makeshift encampments outside. What exactly goes on behind the walls of Lakevale Sanctuary remains a mystery.

• Established by the Lamang Armed Forces shortly after the Event, Northern Reach is a heavily fortified military research facility dedicated to investigating Ground Zero and recovering anything of potential value. Initially, the operation attracted some of the military's finest personnel, but mounting casualties and increasingly disturbing reports from returning expeditions soon took their toll.

• Today, expeditions into Ground Zero continue despite the growing reluctance of those ordered to undertake them. Morale among the remaining personnel is at an all-time low, and the research facilities operate under strict security. Whatever the scientists have managed to uncover, it seems to have come at a terrible cost.
