Gray Zone Warfare aims to put a slightly different perspective on the hardcore, realistic FPS game. Where most follow the extraction-driven focus of Escape From Tarkov and Hunt Showdown, developer Madfinger Games presents a more persistent experience that keeps you in the world. With options for entirely PvE servers alongside the standard PvEvP, you have the choice of how to play, and Madfinger's newest update brings some heavily requested features to the table, including the ability to repair your gear without the need for replacement parts.
