quick guide to hacking tools in Gray Zone Warfare:
Gray Zone Warfare Hacking Tool
With the Gray Zone Warfare: Rogue Ops 0.5 update comes the addition of hacking tools that are in three different tiers. These useful tools can help you bypass doors with keypads around the new location.
Don’t mix them up with ATM hacking tools, which can be found around the world and are one-time use. These hacking tools are strictly craftable and cannot be found in Lamang naturally
Unlock the Electronics Workshop and Hacking Tool Recipes
In order to unlock the blueprint of these tools, you need to build an electronics workshop in your hideout first and then do artisan quests. These will lead to you getting the first-level blueprint. Keep in mind that some artisan quests might need you to upgrade other parts of your hideout, one of which we are going to talk about now. If you want to learn how to build your hideout, read our guide on Gray Zone Warfare Hideout.
All Hacking Tool Materials and Locations
To make these tools, you need to travel around the map of the game, find certain items, and dismantle them to get your items. Trying to find all of these items can be a hassle, so here’s a list of all the items, what to dismantle, and where to find them, all in one place.
Basic Hacking Tool Materials
The Tier 1 hacking tools can only open Level 1 doors and take 20 seconds to hack. You can build this tool by finding and dismantling the following items:
| Crafting Material | Item to Dismantle | Locations |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Bus Converter | UNLRA Uplink Terminal / Field Terminal | Blue Lagoon: Picnic tables near the campsite, abandoned shack (immediately to the right upon entering), makeshift hideout. Ban Pa: Elder’s hut, upper room coffee table (key required). |
| CPU Card | Artillery Ballistic Computer | YBL-1: Office desk near the Negotiator task code; conference room desk/table. Sawmill: Locked storage shed, on a stool. |
| Spoofing ASIC | IMSI Catcher | Pha Lang Airfield: Main building’s second-floor shelves, storage shed. Hunter’s Paradise: Locked weapons room, restaurant table near the kickable door. Sawmill: Office desk (no key required). |
Advanced Hacking Tool Materials
With an increase in hacking speed (15s compared to 20s) and access to level 2 doors, the tier 2 hacking tool requires the following items to be built:
| Crafting Material | Item to Dismantle | Locations |
|---|---|---|
| FPGA Module | Tactical Radio | Tiger Bay: Tent behind the Municipal Office Building, northern end of the mall on the second floor. |
| Avionics Processor | Baget-53-31 Onboard Processor | Fort Narith: HQ first-floor maintenance room, HQ second-floor communications room, hangar containing the Su-35 aircraft. |
| Server RAM | Storage Computer | Midnight Sapphire: Locked supply closet behind the main hotel reception desk. Additional reported locations: Groundskeeper’s server room and golf-course loot room (unconfirmed). |
Superior Hacking Tool Materials
The tier 3 is the fastest hacking tool (10s) in the game that can open all keypad doors. The superior hacking tool can be built with the following items:
| Crafting Material | Item to Dismantle | Locations |
|---|---|---|
| High-Speed Digital Processor Board | Radar Signal Processor | RLSL-1: HQ building’s first-floor communications rooms, garage/workshop northeast of the telescope building. |
| Oven-Controlled Oscillator Board | Portable Satcom Terminal | Lakevale Sanctuary: Main building’s second-floor conference room, on the central table. Occupied Villa: Second floor, outside the locked Commander’s Office. |
| Digital Synthesis Engine | Counter-IED/Jammer Unit | Northern Reach: Unmarked building around coordinates 169, 151–152, between the Research Facility and HQ, on the central table. Northern Reach HQ: Coded room on the central table. The code is found in a ground-floor room near the entrance. |
How to Use the Hacking Tool on Electronic Doors
Just having the tools in your inventory allows you to interact with keypads near locked doors, and the hacking device will take some time to decrypt the door code, allowing you to access these doors. Even though there are some doors for which you can find the password around the map, a hacking device can open all keypad doors.
