One of the first things you have to do in Gray Zone Warfare before jumping into the action is to join one of the available factions. These are special groups that are all interested in the events of Lamang Island, where this new extraction shooter takes place.
If you are not sure which faction to join or if this will affect your experience in any way, we have gathered all the details known so far.
All Gray Zone Warfare Factions
As of now, Gray Zone Factions has a total of 3 factions available, but you'll only get to join one. Here is the list of them along with their official description:
- Lamang Recovery Initiative: Founded and funded by a tech billionaire, LRI publicizes itself as a strictly philanthropic exercise to search for pockets of survivors in and around Ground Zero after even the UN abandoned the island. The armed section of the organization is composed of small, highly professional security details that accompany rescue and clean-up teams to protect them from some of the other, far less altruistic factions operating in the area.
- Mithras Security System: Mithras bills itself as a PMC run by soldiers for soldiers, and it doesn’t ask too many questions about an operator’s motivations or past history. The only real bar to Mithras membership is a lack of field experience of military competence. It prides itself on only accepting the best and pays accordingly. The organization is inspired by the Roman Legion system, where the spoils of war were shared among the troops. From the highest-ranking officer to the lowest-ranking foot soldier according to their status within the unit and performance in the field.
- Crimson Shield International: This Private Military Company rose to infamy during the early stages of the Syrian civil war. While they boast an impressive 95 percent success rate, some of their methods can be seen as somewhat questionable, often resulting in collateral damage. That said, no one can deny their effectiveness and cold-blooded approach to any job that needs to be done. This gung-ho nature attracts not just ex-military personnel but basically anyone with a lust for adventure and action. However, thanks to their strict elimination process, only the truly exceptional soldiers ever make it as far to be deployed on an actual combat mission.
Which faction should you choose?
The faction you pick will affect two aspects of the gameplay: the location of your spawn camp and who you can play with. You read that last part right, the game only allows you to team up with players from the same faction.
In other words, you need to make sure you and your friends choose the same faction before playing because the game won't allow changes after.
These are the only gameplay changes discovered at the time of writing, which is the release date for the game's Early Access version. If you want to know more general details about the game, you can visit here and you can also check the requirements to run it here.
