The military tactical shooter, Grey Zone Warfare, got a big update recently that added a whole new location, brand new enemies, new items and a new section to the base that you can build. It also changed how some of the existing items and enemies work. So let's gear up and see what this jungle has in store for us this time.
Let's start with the small things that happened in this new update. The first thing you'll notice is that your existing inventory has been wiped but you keep your rank with your operator and vendors. The second is that some items changed in their use, mainly drinks and blood bags. These have changed from a number of uses to having a certain amount in them that is used slowly.
Next, the enemies also got a bit of an upgrade to them as well. They have been buffed to be able to tank more damage, and take more critical hits to boot. I have had times where it took two full head shots to put an enemy down that had no helmet. Some people think they got a bit too tough and I can kind of agree, but it does add a bit more of a challenge, which I do like.
Now lets get to the big parts of this update starting with the new zone. There is now a level four area around ground zero that holds new loot and new challenges, and I mean that with a capital ‘challenge’. The enemies in this zone are extremely tough, with the best armor and weapons. Their rounds can punch through most of the armor you can equip. So, you'll want to bring your best gear and medicine as you are going to need every edge you can get to even survive.
The other big part of this update is the hideout they added to the main base of operations. This is the reason you will spend a lot of your time finding material out in the world. The main reason for that is you will need this material to build up the hideout to expand its capabilities. And boy howdy do you want to do this as it gives not only useful items, but a great new way to make money in this warzone.
There are four sections you can build up in the hideout; they are the laboratory, workshop, utility room and a personal room. Currently the personal room is not unlocked but the rest are all fully available. The utility room is self explanatory as it supplies the other rooms with power, but the others have much more value.
As you build them up you will learn more things you can craft from those materials you gather around the map. The lab focuses on medical while the workshop produces tech like hacking devices. But the most valuable part of these is the money you can make from them. The lab can make illegal drugs that you can sell, and the workshop can break down certain items into crafting parts and valuable salvage.
And these items are very valuable as all of them are over 10k and that is huge. Most things you buy from vendors can cost over triple that, so being able to get that kind of money is a major asset here. And since there was a soft reset, you will need to buy back all your containers, so that cash will certainly come in handy.
That all said, this new update has a lot of new things to do and new things to try. I look forward to seeing what comes next in this zone and the new threats and locations that will keep players busy. And who knows, maybe one day we can finally see what happened at ground zero.
