Command the Frontlines in High-Stakes PvP
Winds of War puts PvP battles in the spotlight. Players can capture over 30 Combat Outposts and access additional spawn points along with Vulture, a newly introduced Vendor residing in some of the COPs. The developers also streamlined the experience of handing off tasks. PMCs can now finish the tasks in the field, which significantly smoothens the gameplay flow.
When players from opposing factions engage in a firefight, a Conflict Zone is triggered and marked on the map for all to see. This gives players more freedom to choose whether to engage in PvP combat or avoid it. In addition, MADFINGER is bringing 4 new weapons, mortar strikes, a plethora of low-entry gear, and a number of improvements, such as better ballistics, AI behavior, and responsiveness improvements, a Friend-or-Foe system, locker sorting, and much more.
Experience Authentic Weather
Immersive, dynamic weather is now available in Gray Zone Warfare, bringing a fresh wind to Lamang. Gray Zone Warfare developers partnered with Meteosource weather experts to authentically depict the weather of Laos. This translates into a carefully crafted scheduler that brings true weather cycles onto your screen.
Battles through storms, flooded rice fields, or foggy jungles naturally change the gameplay. Scopes get foggy, raindrops block night vision, and players’ headgear now matters more than before. There are also over 60 smaller new points of interest to explore.
“The Winds of War update brings truly major changes. We've focused on both PvP and PvE players and added a huge number of new locations, quests, weapons, new interactions, dynamic weather, and many other new features. We're trying to take Gray Zone Warfare to the next level," says Marek Rabas, CEO and founder of MADFINGER Games. "This update showcases the enormous potential of our game and the direction in which we want to continue developing it."
