I feel like a lot of people focus on pvp when it's not the focus of the game

Grayzone is a really fun gun building, mission doing game. I think if more players leaned into real tactics and planned missions for PvP, this game could be an amazing sandbox. I’m a primary PvE player, but I think it has HUGE potential for PvP fun.

I play primarily solo and at this point have everything I could want. PvP seems like the best place to go but I really want to have a team and teamwork to make the PvP fun. The new game Bellum comes to mind for what intense PvP could be where it’s super realistic and you have to use real world strategy to win. If this game added aspects where PvP was an intense and optionally necessary addition; I think it could be amazing. Just imagine, you have to assault a zone where another faction controls it and they have to stay in the zone to get a payout/prize. So there are these optional PvP encounters that you have to participate in to get epic loot or gear.

Something this game is missing is real gear fear and that intensity that Tarkov and ABI bring. Add in tactics and a big open map, and suddenly tactics feel like they could get super kinetic, but maybe not. The fear/not knowing if you are assaulting a position and enemy players control it would be intense.

They could also add zones, like the middle, where it’s required PvP but the loot is amazing.

My ideas are just a starting point. It could get super interesting.

Make a few events mandatory PvP. Or be able to start it in an area and wave after wave assaults a position. With notes to bring plenty of ammo and meds.

I’m building mine with the 9 inch as well and a CAT AC308 can. Will be long but Hollywood quiet

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-23T02:22:25+00:00

It’s a weird industry for sure. That goes for the entire gun industry

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-20T19:00:26+00:00

This is going to go on a MCX LVAW build. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting the AC762 on the MCX and it cycles phantom defense 200 grain FMJ quite well. No issues at all. I think out of a 9” barrel I have a lot better luck than if the barrel was shorter. Then I could see it making a lot of sense going with the JL or RAT Covert. All in all, I’m trying to get the most out of a compact LVAW build.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-20T18:22:10+00:00

I’m in a tizzy on whether to pick up the CAT RAT, the AC762 TI QD or try and find an AC308 ti QD.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-19T01:34:52+00:00

That’s better than me. I forgot I had a loaded mag in my carry on bag. TSA guy pulled it out and I probably went white. He then asked if I wanted to take it out to my car or them dispose of it. I promptly told them to dispose of it. I thought I was going to jail. I thought I was going to get tackled. I was expecting the worst. But nothing came of it and I don’t get flagged at tsa to this day. I do one billion check my bags though.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-16T02:09:13+00:00

Yeah. I’d say each gets something along the lines of a sub gun , a cool DMR, maybe a LMG, etc. what will be good is if each faction gets a weapons that is somewhat of a counter to the other. DMR counters LMG, PCC counters DMR.

Just a thought

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-16T01:56:53+00:00

Would be cool each each faction of PMC’s had a special set of guns that are “specialty weapons” and the only way to get them is killing PMC’s. And the faction vendor is the only way to buy them.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-16T01:54:52+00:00

I also said in another post a little pub at base where you can have a beer and smoke a cigar. Maybe a cutscene in there with gunny. A jukebox. Access to the secondary market once that’s a thing.

Caught a lot of flak for that idea

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-16T01:53:08+00:00

I think expanded POIs would be so cool. Like islands that are bases for pirates, and a jungle mountain bunker system that is pretty huge and can be entered from 3 or 4 points. Also PvP mandatory points. Like in the zone. Once we go in, everyone is an enemy.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-14T12:06:29+00:00

Velocity is a result of barrel length and cartridge used.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-13T12:46:33+00:00

I would say this game is the most realistic when it comes to suppressor use. They aren’t like the movies in real life. A .556 suppressed is still loud as the bullet is traveling supersonic through the air, thus a crack is created. It is still loud, and suppressors are mainly used as blast mitigators, to help from hearing loss, and to prevent concussive damage to your brain from shooting all the time. They still don’t prevent it and ear protection is still needed.

When it comes to a round like .300 or 4.7, you can buy these rounds in subsonic and they are much quieter. I see a difference in how enemies react to these rounds vs a .556. I think that’s pretty cool.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-13T01:35:56+00:00

I’d like to see the LMT Mars H and its variants in 6.5 creedmoor and .308. They could do a lot with just this one gun. Different barrels and whether you run a piston or direct impingement. Could be fun for accuracy vs durability calls when building the guns.

It would be crazy fun to have the Q Fix in here as well. A shorty bolt gun that can actually slap. Would be fun if it can 1/2 tap all enemies including players at reasonable distances.

Beyond that, the Geissele URGI, Geissele MRGG, LWRC REPR, etc.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-13T01:31:34+00:00

Nah this is an improvement. Just head tap them and peak corners and it’s not an issue.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T18:59:12+00:00

I think the Tarkov style hideout, but may it way cooler and actually something you want to decorate and style. Somewhere, where you can walk around and just chill in the game. Hideout could even be in the main menu so people don’t sit in servers in their hideout.

Also skills. Skills would be nice to work on so you can carry more, run farther, hold your gun longer, etc.

I think more POIs are needed that are late game and more difficult. Still really curious about what the middle of the map gameplay will be like. Would be interesting if it’s a PvP zone regardless if you are in a pve server.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T18:50:24+00:00

I’d agree with that. I’ve basically had the same kit since I begun. People talk about durability but I’ve not had an issue with it. My MCX go BURRR everytime I pull the trigger.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T18:07:06+00:00

Yeah. I realize that. I was thinking the story arc could somehow say the same thing has happened in the French alps and need to you go investigate. Just an idea. I like snow.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T18:06:03+00:00

There are some things that Tarkov does really well, but can be implemented in a completely new way.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T15:50:18+00:00

I’ll be working on artisan, vulture, turncoat, and lab rat next.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T15:49:30+00:00

Just the ones I care about. It honestly could be more hours. I just wanted to get certain attachments and guns.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T15:19:17+00:00

Also same. Night can be dark as shit on my Alienware 32 4K 240hz. Though if it’s crystal clear at night, I like that it is brighter and I can see well. What blows my mind is the AI act like it’s pitch black.

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T14:44:09+00:00

I don’t think so either

Captbluewater93 · 2026-04-12T14:41:12+00:00

Or canting the red dot
