Gray Zone Exploration
"We're not at an optimal state yet, commander."
This article is a stub. You can help us by expanding it (check our quick editing guide and how to guides).
Gray Zone Exploration (灰域探查) is a game mode added with client 3.0200. The 6th Detachment of the Border Surveillance Corps has returned from a previously unexplored area with great loot, so the Commander has decided to deploy more exploration parties.
Players deploy echelons on a map of hexagonal tiles and capture them to earn points and unlock prizes from the ladder. Tiles contain a small battle map which is entered by expending Exploration Permits (or resources of the player has no permits remaining). Harder fights grant more points, and bonus points are granted for occupying every tile on a map. Time will pass with each battle, switching between day and night battles every three turns. In this mode, damaged T-Dolls will automatically be healed to full health after being withdrawn, unless they are in the Critically Damaged state. Battles can be automated with the AI Proxy Battle function.
Past exclusive equipments can be earned from the rewards ladder, while past exclusive T-Dolls can be dropped from battles. Each season of Gray Zone Exploration rewards different exclusives.
