LEADfarmer (Game Master, Community Leader)

'The spearhead update has taken the game from cruisin' on light throttle to now slamming on the gas in the race to become the next top tactical shooter. Spearhead is a massive leap forward in bringing the vision of a living, immersive world for you to explore to reality, and the wait was SO worth it!'

TGxAltair (Game Master, Community Leader)

'0.4 cements Gray Zone Warfare as a true competitor in the MilSim scene, there's nothing like it right now.'

Tyy (Game Master, Community Leader)

'You all truly smashed this update. Let the team know they did an amazing job. New movement is very well done. Loot distribution and new items are amazing. New weapons all are a blast to use. The new vegetation changes are a great balence between jungle and good playability. Not having as many bushes helps a lot on visibility and the new trees give good cover for fire fights.. New medical and healing has been awesome to use (especially the hemostatics), and the audio is INSANE now. I could go on and on but huge props to you all.'

'I wanted to say that it would be a dream if all game companies did what these guys did. They listened to the community and did exactly what we wanted.'

'It's my new addiction, without doubt. It offers everything i dream from all my above favorite milsims/surv/shooters, and i see it gets better and better.'

'You guys have once again delivered some of the best content I could have ever asked for, as a DayZ and Tarkov vet I cannot get enough of this game, it is everything I have ever wanted in a shooter! Keep up the good work guys can't wait to see where this development journey takes us!! ❤️'JWetty | Goose 1-5
