Once upon a time, Gray Zone Warfare was classified as an extraction shooter. Like other games in that space, the title undergoes regular wipes that reset the player base and put everyone back to flat zero. It refreshes their ‘starting equipment’ and resets their game progress, and it’s used as a balancing mechanic and to facilitate major updates.
With that being said, when is the next wipe in Gray Zone Warfare? Below, we’ve outlined everything you need to know.
Gray Zone Warfare Wipe History
Gray Zone Warfare’s first wipe was in November 2024 to accommodate the arrival of Night Ops, the first major update to hit the game since it launched in April 2024. This wipe reset the global audience, granting them fresh accounts with which to experience everything the Night Ops update introduced.
This was replicated in May 2025, when ‘Winds of War’ was released. This 0.3 update was another major overhaul to the Gray Zone Warfare platform, and it came with a wipe. In April 2026, the enormous Spearhead update dropped, emerging as the monumental 0.4 update. This too heralded a wipe.
Next Gray Zone Wipe Date
The next Gray Zone Warfare wipe will arrive on October 22 with the launch of the 0.5 update, dubbed Rogue Ops. It’s important to stress that it’s not a full wipe, and is, in fact, a soft wipe. MADFINGER Games doesn’t want to reset everyone’s progress entirely, so this wipe will only target the game’s economy.
That means that your inventory and money will be wiped, but your rank, vendor levels, completed tasks, and unlocked apparel won’t be.
