Gray Zone Warfare throws you into a post-apocalyptic world brimming with danger and opportunity. To survive and thrive, you’ll need to complete quests for the various factions vying for control. But where do you begin? This guide will walk you through the essential starting quests in Gray Zone Warfare, setting you on the path to success!
Learning the Lay of the Land: The First Recon
Your first point of contact will be Handshake, who tasks you with a recon mission in your starting town. This introductory quest, “First Recon,” is designed to familiarize you with key landmarks. You’ll need to locate a gas station, a convenience store, and a demolished building. Thankfully, you simply need to reach the vicinity of these locations – no combat required!
Here’s a breakdown of each faction’s starting zone:
- Lamang Recovery Initiative (LRI):
- Gas Station: Map Square 200-160
- Convenience Store: Map Square 201-163
- Demolished Building: Map Square 203-163
- Mithras Security Systems (MSS):
- Gas Station: Map Square 170-121
- Convenience Store: Map Square 171-188

Securing Supplies: The Meds Wanted Task
Lab Rat at your starting base has a crucial request: “Meds Wanted.” This task involves retrieving a box of medical supplies for your faction. Head to the building next to the water tower in your town. This single-story structure has two rooms. Enter the room on the right and locate the shelf near the back. There, nestled midway up, is the precious box of supplies.
Important points to remember:
- The box is a 4×4 inventory slot, so ensure you have enough space.
- If you die, you’ll drop the box and need to find it again.
- To avoid losing it on death, store it in your SafeLock container (if available).
- Once retrieved, return the box to Lab Rat through the task menu to complete the quest.
Here’s a tip for location efficiency:
- LRI Players: Water Tower – Map Square 200-163
- MSS Players: Water Tower – Map Square 172-118
Finding Hidden Caches: The Cache Retrieval Task
Gunny needs your help in “Cache Retrieval.” This quest requires locating and marking two hidden caches within your starting town – one in the lumberyard and another in a warehouse. Gunny provides you with trackers specifically for this purpose, but remember to bring them with you!
Lumberyard Cache:
- Locate the small shack building on the left side of the lumberyard in any town.
- Head towards the desk in the back.
- Just before the desk, you’ll find a pile of wooden crates – that’s your target placement for the tracker.
- Simply interact with the location to place the tracker (assuming you have one in your inventory).
Warehouse Cache:
The exact location of the warehouse cache will vary depending on the specific warehouse you explore. However, the general principle remains the same – look for a suitable container or designated area to place the tracker.
Remember:
- Explore all warehouses in your starting town until you find the one with the designated cache location.
- Interact with the designated spot to place the tracker once you find it.
Conclusion
By completing these initial quests, you’ll gain valuable resources, experience, and reputation within your chosen faction. This strong foundation will prepare you for the more challenging tasks that lie ahead in the unforgiving world of Gray Zone Warfare. So, gear up, soldier, and conquer those starting quests!
Bonus Tip: While venturing out to complete these tasks, keep an eye out for additional resources and hidden stashes. The Gray Zone is full of surprises, and a keen explorer can often reap significant rewards!
