Post-Roadmap Reshaped FAQ


[h3]What happens to PvE with the Winds of War update?[/h3]

While Winds of War introduces new PvP features, PvE remains a key focus in Gray Zone Warfare. This update expands player choice and enhances the experience for both PvP and PvE players.

Winds of War will bring exciting new features for all playstyles, many of which we discussed during the Roadmap Reshaped stream. As we get closer to release, we’ll continue to share more details on what’s coming.

Although we reshuffled the roadmap to introduce PvP improvements sooner, this shift aligns with our long-term vision for the game. Player feedback has shown that PvP needs refinements, and we’re committed to delivering those improvements.

That said, we greatly value our PvE community and recognize its importance. As promised, besides Winds of War, we will release the Dark Revelations (0.4) update this year, with a strong focus on lore and narrative expansion.

[h3]How will Combat Outposts (COPs) work in PvE and PvP?[/h3]

With Update 0.3, we’re introducing capturable Combat Outposts (COPs)—strategic points you can conquer and use for respawning and restocking. These outposts will function differently in PvP and PvE:
  • PvP: Factions will battle for control over COPs. Once captured, guards will spawn to defend it. Rival factions must fight to take it back for themselves.
  • PvE: The first faction to capture a COP must fight AI defenders. Once secured, all faction members can access it freely. Guards will only return after a server restart.

[h3]How will weather affect performance?[/h3]

Like any major feature, weather may have some impact on performance, but we're working hard to minimize its rendering demands. Optimization and performance remain a top priority—they are an ongoing, long-term effort, and we are committed to refining and improving the game with every update.

[h3]When is the release date for Winds of War (0.3)?[/h3]

We don’t have an exact ETA, but development is underway. The update is planned for spring 2025.

[h3]Will you add more guns?[/h3]

Yes, you can expect four new weapons to be introduced in the Winds of War update.

[h3][2026+][/h3]

Lamang presents new challenges, opportunities, and tactics. Adapt. Prove yourself. Prevail.

After Dark Revelations, we will continue rolling out major updates roughly every six months, each packed with exciting new features. Our vision is to develop the game alongside the community, refining our priorities based on your feedback and steadily expanding gameplay with meaningful, impactful updates. Through relentless development, we strive to push the boundaries of the genre, delivering a deeper, more immersive experience that grows to increasingly challenge and engage you.

With upcoming updates, Lamang will evolve into an even richer, more dynamic, and treacherous battlefield, where every step forward is as thrilling as it is perilous. You will carve your own path to mastery, earning certifications that reflect your expertise and survival instincts.

Endurance in Lamang will rely on resourcefulness and adaptation—gathering materials, refining crafting techniques, and creating essential tools for survival. You'll also have the opportunity to master stealth mechanics, gaining a crucial advantage that lets you strike from the shadows and turn the tide of battle.

Beyond survival, the power struggle between factions will reach new heights, shaped by both the unfolding narrative and new mechanics designed to intensify rivalries. You will not only fight but influence the ever-shifting factional landscape, ensuring that each decision leaves a lasting impact.

At the heart of it all is Ground Zero—the ultimate battleground where alliances will be tested, rivalries will intensify, and control of Lamang will be contested. Securing Ground Zero will require skill, strategy, and adaptability, shaping a pivotal moment in the fight for dominance.



*** Please note that the Roadmap is a work in progress and may be subject to change as development and community feedback evolves. ***

[h2]The Best Is Yet To Come[/h2]

Gray Zone Warfare is only just beginning. With just 20% of the game complete, there’s still a long road ahead—more challenges to conquer, mechanics to master, and mysteries to unravel. The world of Lamang is evolving, growing more unpredictable and unforgiving with every update. Stay with us as we build and evolve, ensuring that every step forward enhances your experience.
