11 Tips You Might Not Know In Gray Zone Warfare!

[@thecabrera3963]

PIN THIS For all those struggling to keep weapons in the stash and are dismantling em to "get more space" and end up with a mess, Buy "Gunfighter" Backpacks, each one can hold any weapon, saving up a lot of space and not losing any slot, i usually fill em with meds and ammo in order making an effective pseudo "Case", bought 10 of those and saved up a lot of space placing my full tuned weapons

[@Gigabeef]

This is good :)

[@thecabrera3963]

@@Gigabeef glad to help

[@mutdog2184]

I figured this out yesterday but i did something different than making it a pseudo case. I turn it into mini kits so that I can just grab something and go. Like take any backpack that holds a weapon on the side, put a gun on it and stuff a tactical rig in the backpack, fill it with mags, heals, etc. and you have a kit ready to slap on all you need to do is grab armor and headsets and thats it. Saved me a bunch of room and time.

[@ItsDobbie]

Can’t you do this with any backpack?

[@X3.X3]

you can store up to 3 m4s in some bags...2 in the bag and 1 on the gun slot in the bag...i believe they M4s have to have 10.5 or 14.5 barrels to fit inside the actual bag

Solo is great if you act like a menace. Fire and movement. Know when to break contact. Retreat with plans to re-engage. Tons of stuff I've been utilizing has been working great tbh.

If you hold "M" you can also open up the big map. With pressing "I" you open your inventory. Pressing "U" opens up your health tap. "J" opens your task tab. You can avoid clicking through UI this way

[@ChimpOnComputer]

The very first tip was just what I needed to get the game, and I've watched a bunch of content for this game already at this point. PvE for a game like this is something I've wanted, I've gotten so burnt out of PvP from all the tens of thousands of hours of CoD, Battlefield, LoL, Dota 2, just got so tiring.

[@Gigabeef]

Yep and you dip right back into PvP if you want to! Such a nice thing overall

[@Teito762]

Be advised that the AI either have very inconsistent health pools, or will sometimes ignore damage. Once I put a good 10 rounds of 7.62x39 SP into an AI's chest and they did not die (they weren't wearing armor, by the way), I was then shot by them with an AKM using the same bullet and died in three shots while wearing armor.

[@JamesTaylor-os3lh]

Yup it was a great sell for a lot of us who want to do quests to unlock good gear and just go PvP when we have an over abundance of gear and can buy new stuff at lvl 2

[@joshhayes3433]

Been enjoying PVE mode a lot with a buddy of mine, it's a hell of a lot of fun for what it is, and that is very early access. It absolutely has solid bones and I'm confident it'll progress into a great game. I've played on a 4070 Ti and 4060 laptop GPU and pretty much need to use DLSS/FSR to get over 60fps, however I don't feel like the graphical fidelity suffers in either case, which is amazing.

[@Gigabeef]

So great that this mode lets people who wouldn't play games like Tarkov get into GZW! Love it

[@JonathanJONeill]

Another tip for 5.56 weapons. To save inventory space, switch from 30rd mags to 20rd mags. A 30rd mag takes up a 1x2 area in your storage. A 20rd mag takes up a 1x1 area. So, you can get an additional 10 rounds in the same space as a 30rd magazine.

[@danielnorris1520]

You also have 10 less bullets in the mag.. both have pros and cons

[@JackJohnson-cm6jk]

Great to see you are getting in to this. Really enjoyed it so far. Csnt wait for some ammo and armor analyses. 😊

[@thejnasty]

Same, no idea which ammo to use besides what I know from tarkov 😂

[@Gigabeef]

Haha yep gonna have to check that out as we progress!

[@AgentBooth]

I do have to wonder how testing will work since there is faction karma lol

[@gogokillanova]

Do not forget about the ammo types. The beginning SP ammo is kinda bab but gunny sells M193 ammo for the M4 which is high velocity and full metal jacket penetrates armour better.

[@gophercakes311]

Hoping soon, they give us the ability to toggle certain functions (like ADS) instead of hold.

[@NapFloridian]

RUN toggle vs HOLD to RUN would be great too,

[@clevername1349]

Wondered why all the chads are running them

[@nickschuster7618]

Fun fact. Not so much for the RCO (ACOG) optic but the CCO red dot used by the army uses the same mount as the RCO. The idea of seeing the front post is that in case your CCO (which uses a battery ik stupid idea but hey army) dies you are still able to flip up the rear sight and engage normally using the iron sights!

[@devinhickman1230]

I love how similar most of it is to tarkov, like the controls and weapon modding and everything, but in my opinion is already so much better as a whole. I know they’re slightly different genres and play styles and all that, but after what bsg did this has been scratching my itch quite nicely.

[@VBlasphemyV]

pro tip: in order to heal yourself your medical kit can be in your safelock container or any container, but to heal another player or revive them, your medical supplies have to be in your pockets or tactical rig. they WILL NOT work in your backpack, all the options when you "examine" the other player will be grayed out. Treat blood loss first, as this is the the main reason most players go from "coma" to dead.

[@scottspencer2281]

If like me you have a fear of wasps be prepared to jump, the bugs fly right through your headset and I’m forever naturally dodging sideways 😂

[@Matt-pp5kz]

I don't see this talked about by anyone but if you remove the mag and the grip you can put guns INSIDE the back pack and not just in the weapon slot but you must remove grip and mag making it a 1x5 to do this for the bigger bag. for the scorp bag you would have to remove the stock as well to make it a 1x4. This is how i started to make more money on loot runs since nothing else is worth money but guns and guns sights.. Oh EDIT and you can remove all parts of the gun in the map you just need to right click on say the grip and click detach and it will come off, you just cant drag it off like you can a sight.

[@Gigabeef]

Nice optimisation!

[@TheMrPandabeast]

Good ol Tarkov strat.

[@jaysontrades]

The yellow construction earmuffs the npcs drop greatly reduce noise. However, it also mutes footsteps and makes it harder to hear VOIP comms.

[@TheUnseenWaffle]

Me personally. I only bring one primary. Any guns i pick up get sold. The mk18 is decent enough to do the job. Page up and down will help as well.

[@whassabe9941]

something I've done in games that don't let you set keybinds to stuff like your mouse buttons or mouse wheel L/R button (g502) is to create a macro key, in the Logitech ghub you record the key stroke and then delete the 'release' so it only shows at (e.g. z (down arrow)) and nothing else, it will ask you if you want to proceed without finishing the keystroke press "yes" and then you can set it to what ever you want on your mouse. *NOTE* I don't know how to create macros or if macros can be created in other mouse soft wears but I'd assume you can.

[@NapFloridian]

R-Key, flips items around from horizontal to Vertical in your inventory.

[@D3ss3rtTV]

I played it for the first time last night, and I had a blast gonna stream it for the first time tonight but man it's fun.

[@hfOnyx]

What the game needs is more helis and more servers that prioritise empty or half full servers rather than full ones

[@paragonca9736]

An amazing feature that would be entirely plausible in-world would be if the game turned off your active headset while in base, so as to not have your ears blown out by the helicopters. And then maybe at some point during the transport, either when boarding the copter or while disembarking, it could reactivate the active headset. Or at the very least, add a keybind for it.

[@SG-us4gz]

I know my solution may be cost prohibitive for some, but I've been using a "PC Panel" for years and it is a life saver for that exact reason. I have the game sound assigned to a knob on the control deck and with one twist I kill all game audio without impacting discord, Spotify, etc. One friend bought one like 3 years ago on a whim, and now everybody I play with has one. It is a huge quality of life improvement, especially for games like Tarkov where I am constantly tweaking the volume.

[@R1987R]

keybind I and M to your thumb mouse buttons if you have them, helps with opening and closing fast

[@dmitriyluchikov3129]

FSR frame generation works wonders with my fairly old 2080, i even can afford to use native AA mode to keep things clear. also keep in mind that this game is very CPU hungry, so if you have an older model like mine 9700, it probably will introduce stutters where you'd be fine otherwise.

[@r4g1ngx1ns4n1ty]

Also if you pick lamang their first boss always drops an M700 sniper rifle which is a pretty decent bonus where as the other factions get an akm

[@45atanner]

Pve for me hehe i dont think i will ever carr for pvp and wont have to worry about hackers that 100% will show up sooner rather then later

[@dabunnykilla2]

You can also tap m and hold m for tac map vs large map

[@JohnnyJazZzZz]

When you're in the vendor window if you double click on a weapon it hightlights the mods useable for that weapon

[@Justin-ny8df]

You're correct on PVE, you cannot loot PMC bodies. It still despawns on 2nd death. You can also examine/heal other factions. Been doing PvE while I learn the game and not worry about my friendly faction members in the starter zone killing me lol. I love the helos, sounds and the atmosphere they added, but helo sound needs to be turned down if you have a headset.

[@dr.timsmith5539]

instead of worrying about the yellow headphones in base, walk inside the building and close the door, wont hear any helis coming in

I have a 2060ti and my game crashed about 10 times out of 8hrs of gameplay until my son played with a dev and he gave me settings that fixed my crashes and it wasn't fsr it was dlss. I played 10hrs so far and haven't crashed once and my game runs great.

[@agenttxgaming4409]

Forgot to mention task bar. Health is “H” explosives is “G” and forgot the other. You have to put those items in a specific location, for instance not your back pack. It needs a lightning bolt next to the storage container in your inventory

You can build a silenced AKMN with Artisan pretty easily. ACOG doesn't fit on it, haven't tried the Elcan yet, but it fits an EOTECH Holo. PBS is a cheap silencer compared to the Surefire for the M4 from Gunny level 2. Not a bad mid-level gun for doing town missions.

Regular headphones just make ZERO sense in this game. Being able to hear small details is CRUCIAL to not being surprised. Maybe they will be more useful down the road for some other reason. The Active Headphones (Gssh-01) are the only ones I would ever put on when leaving base. They actually make the game a bit louder and sounds like distant gunfire and voices are clearer, from longer range. They have helped. Muffling the sound though; I see nothing but a disadvantage to that.
