Hey everyone,

Your first look at the eagerly awaited Update 0.5: Rogue Ops is here! The next major milestone for Gray Zone Warfare marks the game’s transition from pre-alpha to alpha, introducing an entirely new gameplay loop alongside tons of new content and improvements.

Rogue Ops launches on October 22, with the Supporter Preview beginning October 19. Watch the video to discover what’s coming, or check out the summary below.

Video Summary

What to Expect?

Rogue Ops introduces an entirely new gameplay loop centered around crafting and building your Hideout. You’ll also have the unprecedented opportunity to become a rogue PMC, taking part in completely new smuggling activities.

Update 0.5 isn’t just about new features, though. Similar to the previous Spearhead update, you can also expect a long list of community-requested improvements and plenty of new content, including new weapons and enormous new locations to explore.

We’ll dive into everything coming with Rogue Ops in a three-part devlog series, with the first devlog about player-driven improvements arriving later this week. 

Once all three devlogs are out, we’ll host a Q&A livestream where the development team will answer your questions and kick off the Supporter Preview. We’ll also host a livestream on the official release day, featuring an in-game event with special guests.

Get Ready For the Soft Wipe

With Update 0.5, we’re proceeding with a soft wipe. Players who participated in Update 0.4 will keep their rank, unlocked apparel, vendor levels, and completed tasks, but their locker and money will be wiped. This will allow us to rebalance the in-game economy while letting players retain their hard-earned progression.

Supporter Preview

For Update 0.5, we’re once again giving our loyal supporters the opportunity to experience the new version of the game ahead of its full release while helping us identify and iron out any remaining issues before launch. All Supporter Edition owners will gain access to the Supporter Preview starting October 19, three days before Rogue Ops launches on October 22.

We’ll share all the details you need ahead of the Supporter Preview. You can learn more about the Supporter Edition here.
