Gray Zone Warfare is finally testing the much-awaited feature in-game

With the start of the experimental testing for the upcoming Gray Zone Warfare patch 0.2.3.0, players can expect quite a few notable changes. The highlight here is weapon repairability, a community-requested feature that has been demanded for quite some time now. As MADFINGER Games continues to innovate and experiment with changes on their test server, players expect this extraction shooter to garner more attention, hopefully in a positive way.

In this article, we will review the changes introduced in the upcoming Gray Zone Warfare patch on the test server.

Here is everything to know about the upcoming changes up for testing in the public experimental branch.

Weapon repair function

You can now repair your damaged equipment and parts at the FOB in Gray Zone Warfare rather than replace them entirely. However, with each successive repair, the equipment will lose its maximum quality, which reduces its durability. This repair can be done using the in-game currency.

Max vendor-level progression

The criteria for achieving a Level 3 reputation with LabRat, Artisan, Turncoat, and Banshee have been reduced to make vendor-level progression easier. Additionally, players can gain reputation points for purchasing products from vendors and vendor reputation points for selling items to them.

Player-disconnect protection

As a method of protection for their loot, players in Gray Zone Warfare will have their characters disappear as soon as they are disconnected. If the player reconnects within five minutes, they will reappear in the game and can continue from where they left off. This quality-of-life change will make it easy for unfortunate players to protect their hard-earned loot.

Rework of look interactions

Loot interactions in Gray Zone Warfare have been reworked to make interaction with smaller or less visible items easier. This aims to prevent scenarios where players can't pick up loot while the interaction prompt is still available.

Dead body behavioral changes

All dead bodies are now displayed on the map for one hour. This implies that if you die more than once, your older character bodies will remain in the game world, where other players can loot them. However, you can only rob your latest body. This is further indicated in the interaction widget when you attempt to loot your older dead body.
