Bringing an Authentic NVG Experience to GZW: Night Ops with Night Gear Solutions

Hello, GZW Community,

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with the tactical night vision experts at Night Gear Solutions (NGS) and share their reaction to the upcoming Night Ops update in our latest video interview.

MADFINGER Games and NGS share a dedication to authenticity: while we immerse players in intense, realistic warfare, NGS develops top-grade night vision goggles (NVGs) and builds awareness of the technology, fostering a community of knowledgeable users and enthusiasts. This shared mission has powered our partnership, elevating the realism of Gray Zone Warfare: Night Ops to new heights.



Working with NGS has provided invaluable insights beyond technical specifications. They offered critical feedback on the look, feel, and behaviour of NVGs, helping us achieve a true-to-life simulation. NGS even took us into the field to observe NVGs in action, including their effects and visibility under live-fire conditions at a shooting range. You’ll see these results firsthand in the update, with every detail—from grainy textures in low light to the halo effects around light sources—capturing the essence of actual NVG functionality.



Curious about the technology and its impact on gameplay? In our interview, NGS experts discuss their experiences developing NVGs, their reactions to seeing them in-game, and how this realistic approach enhances player immersion. Watch their insights on the future of NVG technology and its role in delivering unparalleled gaming experiences here:

As mentioned in our stream yesterday, we’re seeking community members to help us test Night Ops.

Your feedback will be crucial for a smoother launch, so if you're interested in shaping the next big update, apply now through this Google Form.

This early version is for testing purposes only, meaning not all features will be fully implemented yet. It's important to note that, as part of the testing process, you'll be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This means you cannot discuss your experience, share any content, or disclose any details about the game during this testing phase.
