MADFINGER Games, the developer of Gray Zone Warfare, has implemented several significant updates to the game’s AI with Patch 1. A major fix addresses the issue where AI enemies would vanish near bushes and water, creating frustration for players to seek them out. Another correction ensures that AI NPCs spawn with ammunition when visiting Sawhill, resolving a previous issue.

GZW’s environment has also seen crucial enhancements, particularly concerning grass behavior. Previously, players encountered difficulties while crouching through grass, which acted like an invisible wall obstructing their path. Patch 1 has resolved this problem, allowing for smoother navigation. For a comprehensive list of all major changes and fixes, see below.
