While the initial hype was promising and the game raised positive reviews, things have not been as smooth for Gray Zone Warfare post-release. Yes, you heard that right! Even though the game is great and has the potential to be the next FPS survival game, it has had its fair share of bugs and other issues. From the Steam client failing to run to players not being able to join a squad with their friends, there are issues like this prevalent in the game, which makes it almost unplayable at times. That being said, in this guide, we will be taking a look at the No Head, Secure Storage, or Locker Access Issue after the Spawning issue in Gray Zone Warfare that has been troubling players a lot. Keep reading till the end to find out if there is any fix yet for this annoyance if you too are encountering the same.
Speaking more about the no head, secure storage, or locker access issues, many players like yourself have found that their character load into the game empty, without any gear or equipment. Additionally, the character model displayed on the deployment screen may be missing its body, with only clothes visible. Furthermore, when trying to collect items in-game, players have reported receiving a message stating, ‘No space to add all items’, further complicating gameplay. Well, let’s see if there is a fix available.
Gray Zone Warfare No Head, Secure Storage, or Locker Access Issue after Spawning: Is there any fix yet
Well, players have been going crazy in the discussion threads, complaining about the issue with no substantial fix in sight, until now. Well, the devs are aware of this particular issue, as they mentioned it while announcing the Hot Fix 2 update for the game. They even shared a workaround. Here’s everything you need to know:
First things first
Start by restarting both the game and your PC. Then, check your internet connection to be sure that it’s stable and functioning correctly. Once your connection is confirmed, make sure to download and install the latest hotfix (hotfix 2) for the game, as this contains a crucial feature to fix the issue. To update Gray Zone Warfare, consider going to base camp and then exiting the game. After this, restart Steam. Now, the Update button should appear on the game’s tile in your Steam library. Click on it, and wait. Once the update is live, follow the next workaround.
Wipe Character
In response to player feedback, the developers have introduced a new account wipe option with the Hotfix 2 update. This feature allows you to reset your character, and change factions. Upon selecting this option, the game will restart, and you will go through character creation again and receive Edition Content and starter gear. This option is useful for switching factions or recovering from issues like missing heads or secure containers. However, the developers also mentioned that the issue might reoccur until a proper fix is released. Additionally, the account wipe action is irreversible and has a 1-hour cooldown period. So, if you have had enough of the no head and secure storage issues, try the character reset workaround as suggested by the developers.
Note: Before the Hotfix 2 patch went live, you would have to access the game’s beta branch and then use the Character Wipe feature to get rid of this bug. But now that the hotfix is live on the game’s official server, you don’t need to switch to beta.
Switch Servers
If the issue persists, we recommend that you switch servers in-game. You can do so by clicking the button right below the Deploy button on the game’s main menu. Select from a variety of 11 server options, but make sure to factor in the fact that it can lead to high ping if you select one that’s quite far from your geographical location.
Well, it is just a matter of time before the issue is resolved permanently, once and for all, with a future update or patch. Till then, these workarounds should get the job done. Now, that brings us to the end of this guide. We hope this was helpful. Don’t forget to visit DigiStatement daily for more helpful gaming reads like this.
