The development team behind Gray Zone Warfare is preparing the 0.5 update, titled "Rogue Ops," which plans to add three level-four difficulty zones, seven firearms, and 370 weapon modules. Exploring the new areas will involve electronic locks, traps, and puzzles, with some supplies potentially hidden behind these mechanisms.
The three new areas are the Lakevale Sanctuary shelter, the Northern Reach military research facility, and the RLSL-1 radio astronomy observatory. The island will also see added buildings, ruins, and underground passages; players exploring these new areas may find high-value supplies.
In terms of weapons, the update plans to add the AUG, Benelli M4, G3, G36, FAMAS, UMP, and Glock 18C, along with six camouflages, 22 reflex sights, and two magnifiers. Most new weapons will not be available for direct purchase from merchants; players will need to find them on the island.
Suppressive fire effects in gunfights will return, and ammo damage will be adjusted. The development team also plans to improve lighting, clouds, and footstep sounds, adding HDR support and interactive logs with voiceovers. New missions, contracts, and activities will involve shelters, smuggling, and hunting.
Meanwhile, loot will become scarcer, and some consumables and tracking markers will need to be crafted by players rather than purchased from merchants. No release date for this update has been provided yet.
