7 věcí, které dělá český Gray Zone Warfare jinak a lépe než ostatní extraction hry - INDIAN

Gray Zone Warfare vyšlo dříve, než jsme očekávali a my si přes dva týdny tento český skvost od studia Madfinger Games můžeme užívat. Mnozí hráči přirovnávají hru k Escape from Tarkov, jelikož se rovněž jedná o žánr, který se řadí mezi extraction střílečky. A těch není mnoho. I když se s nimi poslední dobou trhá pytel… Jiní hráči v Gray Zone Warfare vidí mechaniky přežívání podobné například DayZ. My se aktuálně podíváme na to, co Gray Zone Warfare dělá jinak a dokonce oproti podobným titulům lépe.

Na rozdíl od většiny extraction her má Gray Zone Warfare jednu konzistentní rozlehlou mapu, na které se může pohybovat až 48 hráčů. Na jeden server se může připojit 16 hráčů reprezentujících každou ze tří frakcí, které jsou: Lamang Recovery Initiative, Mithras Security Systems a Crimson Shield International. Z bezpečí základny vás vždy vyzvedne vrtulník, díky kterému se dostanete na důležité záchytné body na mapě.

Stejně tak to funguje i naopak, jakmile splníte misi nebo se prostě rozhodnete, že už máte pěší túry dost, zavoláte si z určitých bodů odvoz, který vás dostane zpět do bezpečí vaší základny. Ale dávejte pozor, protože tyto strategické body bývají mnohdy stejné pro všechny tři frakce a můžete tam narazit na typické campery, kteří čekají, až se jim odhalíte při cestě k vrtulníku nebo od něj. Právě to cestování vrtulníkem řadí hru mezi extraction tituly. Což znamená, že se někam dostavíte, vystřílíte, co můžete, posbíráte předměty do svých kapes a batohu a mizíte domů. Ale klidně se můžete rozhodnout ve městě jen tak přežívat, sbírat předměty a kazit ostatním frakcím plány, což je přidaná hodnota Gray Zone Warfare. A že nás to přežívání ve městě či přírodě baví, všechna ta zeleň okolo vypadá naprosto nádherně.

Gray Zone Warfare may be the new FPS hotness, but my experience with it left me cold

As I write this, Gray Zone Warfare is sat at fourth place in Steam's top sellers list. I've seen loads of vids from big FPS YouTubers pivoting to it as the next big thing, especially for the Escape From Tarkov-likers. So I gave it a whirl, both as someone who wanted to see what these more hardcore extraction shooters were like and to play a video game that worked. Unfortunately for me, the game barely functions on my rig to the point where it hurts my poor eyes.

Gray Zone Warfare is deploying hotfixes, but performance remains grim

Hardcore tactical FPS Gray Zone Warfare is proving to be yet another of 2024’s unexpected successes, shifting over half a million copies when it launched into early access last week. Unfortunately, in its attempt to eat Escape from Tarkov’s lunch – a timely one, given that game’s self-inflicted DLC misery – it’s currently choking on the wishbone of some truly dire performance issues. Even players with tip-top graphics cards are seeing heavy stuttering while out in the field, and none of the updates released thus far, including today’s Hotfix #3, have done much to soothe it.

Said hotfix does include some fixes for other widespread problems, including a second attempt at preventing players from becoming headless when rejoining a server (an amusing though resilient glitch, given a previous hotfix had also tried to nix it). But having played a bit of this third patch on a usually reliable RTX 4060, there’s clearly an awful lot of work left to do before Gray Zone Warfare performs acceptably.

How to complete Helping Hand in Gray Zone Warfare

How to complete Helping Hand in Gray Zone Warfare

Once you've completed the first four tasks that Handshake has to offer, he'll give you the task Helping Hand. Handshake believes local criminal forces are getting some outside help, and sends you into the local town to gain proof of the situation. Here is where you need to go and how to complete the Helping Hand task in Gray Zone Warfare.

Where to get the intel in the restaurant

You can complete the Helping Hand task in Gray Zone Warfare by visiting the restaurant in the local town. Similar to the task Medical Detective, Helping Hand requires a key in order to enter the restaurant. You'll want to start by killing enemies around the area and looting them until you get the Restaurant Storage Key for your town. When you are looting the key off an enemy, it will show up as your town's initials and then Attic for some reason, but upon inspection, it will say Restaurant Storage Key. Here is where you can find the restaurant in each town and the key that is required for each faction:

  • Mithras Security Systems - 170, 116 in Nam Thaven, requires NT Attic Key
  • Crimson Shield International - 141, 164 in Kiu Vongsa, requires KV Attic Key
  • Lamang Recovery Initiative - 203, 163 in Pha Lang, requires PL Attic Key

If you look at the coordinates on the town map for your faction, the building has a bright red roof. The screenshot at the top of this guide shows the restaurant from the outside, which is what you want to be on the lookout for. Once inside, head up the stairs and you will find a locked door leading to the attic. This is where you use the Restaurant Storage Key. Inside you will find a brownish Intelligence Folder item on a blue foldout chair, which is what you need for this task. Make sure you have one inventory slot open and loot the intel.

With the intel in hand, head to the nearest LZ and extract back to base camp. Once there, hit the Tab key to open your UI and click the Vendors tab, then Handshake, then Tasks. Select the Helping Hand task and you should have the option to Hand over the intel you got from the restaurant by clicking the yellow button, which will then unlock the yellow Complete button which you can use to complete this task.

Completing the Helping Hand task for Handshake will earn you the following rewards:

  • 1x Scorpion Backpack with 20 slots
  • $4,500
  • 400 Experience
  • 100 Reputation with Handshake

How to complete Medical Detective in Gray Zone Warfare

How to complete Medical Detective in Gray Zone Warfare

The Medical Detective task is the third task you can get from the Vendor Gunny in Gray Zone Warfare, after completing the Leave No Man Behind task. For this task, you must find some evidence that hints towards the location of some missing medical supplies in the nearby town. We've figured out how to complete the Medical Detective task in Gray Zone Warfare and where to find the needed evidence.

Where to find evidence of the missing medical supplies

You can complete the Medical Detective task in Gray Zone Warfare by exploring the doctor's office in your nearby town. In order to access the doctor's office, you'll need the Doctor's Office Key. Each starter town (Nam Thaven, Kiu Vongsa, and Pha Lang) has its own doctor's office with its own key needed to unlock and enter it.

The doctor's office key has a chance of dropping from any criminal that you take out in the respective starter town. Keys drop about 1 in every 5 kills, but there are several keys for each town that drop. You can loot the key from your enemy's backpack, pockets, or tactical slot. Keep killing criminals until you see your town's doctor's office key then head to your town's doctor's office based on the coordinates below. Here's where you can find the medical supplies and complete Medical Detective for each faction:

  • Mithras Security Systems - 169, 116 in Nam Thaven, requires NT Doc Key
  • Crimson Shield International - 141, 166 in Kiu Vongsa, requires KV Doc Key
  • Lamang Recovery Initiative - 205, 163 in Pha Lang, requires PL Doc Key

How to complete the Medical Detective task

The doctor's office you need to head to has a big greenish sign and the medical symbol on it inside a white circle on top of the building, as seen in the screenshot at the top of this guide. Once you reach it, as long as you have the town's Doc Key you will have the option to unlock the door when interacting with it. Head inside and you will see ransacked medical supplies and a stretcher with blood on the floor.

Your task objective Search for the missing supplies will be completed, and you will receive a new objective to locate any evidence that could pinpoint the culprit. Head into the backroom of the doctor's office and you will see a desk with a computer on it. On this desk is the Doctor's Diary, which is just the evidence you need to complete the Medical Detective task. Make sure you have at least one free inventory space and pick it up.

With the Doctor's Diary in hand, head back to base camp and open your Vendors Tab then Task Tab. Choose to hand over the Doctor's Diary to Handshake by clicking the yellow Hand over button which will finally complete the Medical Detective task. Now click the yellow Complete button for the task to earn the following rewards:

  • 1x Scorpion Backpack with 20 slots
  • $4,500
  • 400 Experience
  • 100 Reputation with Handshake

How to complete Rat’s Nest in Gray Zone Warfare

How to complete Rat's Nest in Gray Zone Warfare

The fourth task the vendor Handshake offers in Gray Zone Warfare is Rat's Nest. You can acquire this task after completing Restoring Order by checking the task list for Handshake when at base camp. You're tasked with obtaining two separate pieces of intelligence from two different criminal hideouts located in the nearby town. Here's how you can complete the Rat's Nest task in Gray Zone Warfare and where to find both pieces of intel.

Where to retrieve intel from the hideouts for Rat's Nest

You can retrieve the intel from hideouts at specific locations for each faction in order to complete the Rat's Nest task. Both locations are marked by red spray-painted graffiti as shown in the screenshot at the top of this guide. Once you head to the proper location at your local town as indicated by the below coordinates, kill the criminals outside and then head inside to find the intel.

The first piece of intel is in a double-room one-story building with red graffiti on the wall. Inside is the Convict's Notepad evidence on the small table that also has a phone on it. Pick up this Convict's Notepad for the first piece of intelligence.

The second piece of intel is on the second floor of a two-story building and is the Thug's Smartphone sitting on the desk with the computer. There is a wall surrounding the building that also has the same red graffiti on it. This intel also requires one inventory slot, so make sure you have room to pick it up.

Here are the locations of both pieces of intel for each faction:

  • Mithras Security Systems - 169, 119 in Nam Thaven for the first Intel, 172, 118 in Nam Thaven for the second Intel
  • Crimson Shield International - 141, 162 in Kiu Vongsa for the first Intel, 143, 162 in Kiu Vongsa for the second Intel
  • Lamang Recovery Initiative - 202, 160 in Pha Lang for the first Intel, 201, 163 in Pha Lang for the second Intel.

How to complete the Rat's Nest task

Once you have both pieces of Intel in your inventory, it's time to head back to base camp. Make sure you do not die on the way back, as there's currently a bug where if you die with the Rat's Nest Intel in your inventory, and lose it, you cannot reacquire it and therefore cannot complete the task. The only way to fix this is to abandon the task and contact support so they can reset it completely for you.

Once you are back to Base Camp, open your interface by hitting Tab and go to Vendors then Handshake then Tasks. Hand in both pieces of intel via the yellow button in the bottom right, which will complete the task for you. Finally, hit the complete button to officially finish the task earning you the following rewards:

  • 1x Patrol Backpack with 20 slots
  • $3,600
  • 400 Experience
  • 100 Reputation with Handshake

How to play PvE in Gray Zone Warfare

Gray Zone Warfare soldiers

Enemy players and AI can be a formidable force, often overwhelming you on the battlefield. However, in Gray Zone Warfare's PvE mode, you can forge alliances and find support almost everywhere you go. Discover how to play this mode and what it entails.

How do you play PvE mode in Gray Zone Warfare?

Select 'Joint Operations' at the main menu to begin PvE mode in Gray Zone Warfare. This option will be available once you've customized your character and chosen a faction. By default, it will initially be set to 'Warfare,' Gray Zone Warfare's PvEvP mode, so remember to change this spec.

In GZW's PvE mode, other players cannot harm you. Even if they direct a gun at you and start blasting bullets (trust me, I've had my fair share of this experience), no damage will be inflicted. Everyone works together and shares the same goal of eradicating enemy forces on Lamang Island.

Joint Operations is more accessible than Warfare, especially if you're a solo player. However, AI enemies can still be just as brutal. Keep medical supplies on you always, just in case things go south.

Missions are still the same in both Warfare and Joint Operations. So, don't worry about missing out on certain storylines. It would help if you also considered changing your region, which will be at the bottom of the Warfare/Joint Operations section. Since the game won't automatically use your current location, adjusting it for the correct servers is essential.

České Gray Zone Warfare je nejprodávanější hrou Steamu - INDIAN

Brněnské studio Madfinger Games si připisuje úspěch se svou první velkou hrou pro počítače. Gray Zone Warfare sice trápí porodní bolesti v předběžném přístupu, ale to hráčům zas tolik nevadí a zařídili, že jde v současné době o nejprodávanější hru Steamu.

Autoři mobilních titulů Shadowgun a Dead Trigger se pochlubili prodeji. Za první dva dny se podařilo vtáhnout do hry nad 400 tisíc lidí. Podle SteamDB bylo dosud ve hře nejvíce 66 944 lidí současně. Přispělo k tomu jistě i promo na hlavní stránce Steamu.

400k Copies of #GZW Sold 🙏🙏

We're speechless! In just day 2 of Early Access, we've welcomed 400,000 PMCs to Lamang Island.

Your support is beyond incredible. Thank you, everyone! Let's keep pushing forward together, and always remember, #EveryMoveMatters.#GrayZoneWarfare pic.twitter.com/eFpezysySb

Českou střílečku Gray Zone Warfare provázejí porodní bolesti - INDIAN

Dnes na počítače v předběžném přístupu vyšla taktická first-person střílečka Gray Zone Warfare od brněnského studia Madfinger Games. Hra klade důraz na spolupráci a taktiku. Jde o konkurenci pro Escape from Tarkov. Na novinku láká startovní trailer.

Vývojáři ale zatím moc oslavovat nemohou. Hru provázejí porodní bolesti v podobě špatné optimalizace, problémů a chyb. Ty mají za následek velké propady snímkové frekvence. Někteří hráči si potom stěžují na jednotlivé edice, které zajišťují větší prostor v uzamykatelné schránce a další vybavení.

Z těchto důvodů jsou dosavadní recenze spíše záporné. V době psaní článku ohodnotilo 33 % hráčů hru kladně. Tvůrci uvádějí, že Gray Zone Warfare je dlouhodobý projekt, jenž hodlají vyvíjet a vylepšovat, dokud nedosáhnout ultimátního herního zážitku.

„Budeme pravidelně vydávat aktualizace s novým obsahem, rozšiřovat svět, přidávat nové zbraně a vybavení, odkrývat příběhy vepsané do prostředí, odhalovat nové mise, stejně jako optimalizovat a opravovat chyby před ukončením fáze předběžného přístupu. Přibližná doba trvání může být několik let, v závislosti na zpětné vazbě komunity a naplnění naší vize,“ dodávají.

Později by se Gray Zone Warfare mělo dostat na konzole. Více tady.

Česká akce Gray Zone Warfare vyjde už zítra - INDIAN

Brněnské studio Madfinger Games dnes oznámilo, že Gray Zone Warfare bude na Steamu v předběžném přístupu spuštěno 30. dubna/apríla letošního roku. Současně byla odhalena cena a jednotlivé edice. V budoucnu se hra podívá na konzole.

Gray Zone Warfare nabídne svět privátních vojenských společností plný taktické akce odehrávající se kolem záhadné katastrofy ostrova Lamang inspirovaného jihovýchodní Asií. Jako bývalý člen speciálních jednotek si hráči zvolí jednu ze tří frakcí PMC (Private Military Company), každá sledující vlastní cíle na ostrově.

Čeká vás otevřený svět o rozloze 42 km² obsluhující až 48 hráčů, 1000 AI jednotek a 150 různorodých úkolů, které můžete plnit sami, nebo v týmu až 4 spoluhráčů. Zažijete nelítostné bojiště v PvEvP režimu proti dalším hráčům, nebo můžete taktizovat proti nepřátelským jednotkám v PvE módu. To vše si máte užít v kulisách tropické džungle s pohlcující atmosférou a asijské příměstské architektuře, kde každý výstřel má svůj dopad a kde na každém pohybu opravdu záleží.

„Vývoj Gray Zone Warfare představuje nejlepší období v historii MADFINGER Games, protože máme jasnou představu o tom, jak vytvořit moderní, na realismu založenou taktickou military akci. Jsem opravdu šťastný, že se nám podařilo vytvořit unikátní, do detailu propracovanou hru a jsme připraveni odevzdat ji do rukou hráčů. Zároveň jsme nadšení z reakcí YouTuberů, kteří měli exkluzivní možnost si zahrát preview hry,“ říká kreativní ředitel hry Marek Rabas.

„Cena Gray Zone Warfare v Early Access verzi začíná v přepočtu přibližně na 899 Kč za standardní edici s bonusovým vybavením, základní skříňkou a uzamykatelnou schránkou. Pro ty, kteří by chtěli prozkoumat otevřený svět taktické akce, je v nabídce Taktická edice v přepočtu přibližně za 1499 Kč a Elitní edice v přepočtu přibližně za 1999 Kč, která obsahuje další vybavení, skříňky a uzamykatelné schránky pro zvýšení operační efektivity. Nejvyšší úroveň, Supporter Edice, je k dispozici v přepočtu přibližně za 2499 Kč pro nejoddanější členy komunity, kteří chtějí podpořit vývoj a získat navíc kosmetické předměty,“ informuje tisková zpráva.

Cílem brněnského studia je v budoucnu vydat Gray Zone Warfare na konzole. Teď je pro ně prioritou PC verze. V rámci té dojde na podporu ovladačů, což poté pomůže ke vzniku konzolových verzí. Ty však nemáme čekat v dohledné době. Může to trvat roky, jak upozornili na X.

Dle Steamu zatím hra nebude obsahovat české titulky. Systémové požadavky v současné době nejsou odhaleny.

Česká taktická akce Gray Zone Warfare se připravuje na early access - INDIAN

Po uzavřeném playtestu jsou v brněnském studiu Madfinger Games natolik spokojeni, že jsou připraveni odhalit datum, kdy bude v předběžném přístupu spuštěna jejich multiplayerová taktická first-person střílečka Gray Zone Warfare.

Gray Zone Warfare je první velký projekt Madfinger Games. Předtím tým vytvořil úspěšné mobilní hry, jako Shadowgun, Dead Trigger nebo Unkilled.

Datum zahájení early access fáze se dozvíme už v pondělí 29. dubna/apríla. Stane se tak prostřednictvím traileru, jeho premiéra je naplánovaná na 15:00 středoevropského času.

Tvůrci mají ideální šanci zaujmout. Zejména teď, když se řeší přešlapy Escape from Tarkov, které fanoušci berou jako podraz.

Gray Zone Warfare release window, platforms, and more

Gray Zone Warfare soldiers running through grassy area

Anyone looking for a gritty, realistic, tactical FPS to sink their teeth into will want to keep an eye on Gray Zone Warfare. If this sounds like your kind of game, we've compiled everything you need to know about it below, including its release window and launch platforms.

What is Gray Zone Warfare?

Described as an immersive tactical FPS with a "maximum focus on realism," Gray Zone Warfare sees you join a PMC sent to an island in Southeast Asia; one that was completely evacuated following a "mysterious event." Your goal is to investigate the island's secrets and bring back anything of value, but you'll have to contend with AI-controlled enemies as well as other players.

The game is set in a "persistent" open world environment that "keeps on living even when you’re not playing," and features fully customizable weapons and gear. It also boasts a unique health system that aims to simulate the human body, where injuries to certain body parts can hamper your performance in different ways, requiring you to specifically identify injuries and figure out how to deal with them.

Who is the developer of Gray Zone Warfare?

https://youtu.be/seIwrT7NZBk?feature=shared

The studio working on Gray Zone Warfare is called Madfinger Games. A developer and publisher based in the Czech Republic, it was formed in 2008 and is made up of former employees of 2K Czech. It's mostly worked on shooters for mobile devices, including Shadowgun (which saw a couple of sequels) and the zombie themed Dead Trigger games.

When will Gray Zone Warfare release?

At the time of writing, Gray Zone Warfare is only slated for a vague 2024 release. While the goal is to have it out before the end of the year, it's entirely possible it will need to be pushed back into 2025. Furthermore, Gray Zone Warfare will release as an early access title, so it will be missing a number of features. As for how long it will be in early access, Madfinger Games has said on the game's Steam listing that it could be for several years depending on player feedback. The early access version will receive continuous updates to add more content and fix bugs.

Which platforms is Gray Zone Warfare available for?

So far, Gray Zone Warfare is only in development for PC, specifically via Steam. Madfinger has made no mention of bringing it to consoles or other PC platforms, but we will update this article should that change.
