My absolute favourite part of Gray Zone Warfare is helping other players. I’d love for there to be an option to sign up as a QRF, either solo or together with other random players, to be on standby to assist other players with emergencies (rescue, medical, medevac, evac), high difficulty challenges/threats, or as general support forces (e.g. patrol/defend area, or stay in reserve nearby).
This could also be expanded to include emergent missions spawned from the game director / special events, NPC factions & AI faction commanders in response to player or other NPC faction actions, auto-generated missions from player & game events/conditions e.g. player downed automatically generates a medevac or body retrieval mission.
You could also potentially open this up to all PMC factions being able to take on QRF missions assisting players of any & all factions, and doing so would provide support & resources for their entire PMC faction in the form of player requestable/dispensable ammo, weapons, mortar support, UAV images, etc.
In-lore this would be a support agreement and set price between the PMCs for supporting all field operators, “we all support each other” until there’s something of extreme value to justify going dark (e.g. disable QRF support) and/or going it alone. It might be worth experimenting to see if it’s fun to enable PvP lethal (kill player and loot all) or less-than-lethal (knock-out player and high-value-item is lootable) on certain conditions (e.g. gone dark or rogue, within 100m of extreme value item).
Together with this, please also let us use medical items that are stored on other players to help stabilise them, maybe as a prompt asking for permission for the other players medical items.
I’d also similarly like an in-game way to flag that I’m looking for a group so that I can help them with their missions, or for others to join my group to help me with mine.
