Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 0.4.3.1 Now Live - Changelog (22nd May 2026)
Gray Zone Warfare gets another hotfix today, with MADFINGER pushing 0.4.3.1 live on May 22nd.
A day after 0.4.3.0 landed, MADFINGER is back with another pass. Hotfix 0.4.3.1 is live now, and the quick turnaround suggests the team spotted something in yesterday's build that needed addressing fast.
The source material is light on specifics for this one, so the full notes below will tell you exactly what moved. What I'd keep an eye on: any follow-up to the AI behaviour and nighttime visibility changes that came in with the previous patch. Those were the bigger gameplay shifts, and hotfixes this close together often clean up edge cases those systems introduced.
MADFINGER also has a 25% Steam sale running on all GZW editions until May 25th at 8 AM PDT, so if you've been sitting on the fence about upgrading your edition or dragging a friend in, the timing works out. Full patch notes below.
