· There's a Steam combo in Gray Zone Warfare that lets you travel almost the entire map without stamina concerns.
· This Steam is 'Stretch Nine', currently one of the most powerful mechanics in the game.
· Using Stretch Nine allows you to use not only regular running but also tactical sprints, which consume a lot of stamina, infinitely.
· Actual tests showed that using only Stretch Nine allowed us to travel about 470m in approximately 1 minute, which is a very long distance to cover without vehicles or helicopters.
· This distance is roughly the distance between two LZs (Landing Zones) or half the distance from one point to the next.

· Prolonged use of Stretch Nine can cause heart damage to your character. This occurs when your character's stamina completely depletes and the infinite stamina effect disappears.
· Heart damage can be treated with regular surgical kits, but it takes a long time and prevents movement.
· To solve this, you can use 'HPR 3S' Steam. This Steam lasts for 4 minutes and regenerates up to 50% of damaged organs, at the cost of some addiction and increased pain.
· HPR 3S not only treats heart damage but also allows you to use multiple Stretch Nines consecutively.
· By using Stretch Nine consecutively while HPR 3S is active, heart damage disappears, and you can use up to 4 Stretch Nines in a row.

· Using Stretch Nine and HPR 3S consecutively makes your movement speed very fast, but it causes the addiction level to rise.
· High addiction levels can cause side effects like screen distortion or character vomiting.
· To resolve this issue, use 'Moxy Fluxin' Steam. This Steam reduces the addiction level by 25% per Steam used.
· Using Moxy Fluxin allows you to manage your addiction level while using multiple Stretch Nines consecutively.
· Since HPR 3S lasts for 4 minutes, you can theoretically use up to 4 Stretch Nines with one HPR 3S. This is a relatively cost-effective method.
· Using this combo, you can travel up to 2km in about 4 minutes, which is a very useful ability in the game.

· Even with excessive use of the Stretch Nine combo, your character won't immediately die from heart attacks or similar issues. The maximum side effect is severe addiction symptoms that make gameplay difficult, such as limited vision.
· These side effects can be managed by appropriately using HPR 3S and Moxy Fluxin.
· This Steam combo offers a significant advantage in close-quarters PvP situations. It's useful when you need to quickly move between multiple buildings or navigate cover rapidly.
· When the Steam effect wears off, stamina decreases drastically, so managing the duration of the effect is crucial.

· Stretch Nine can be purchased directly from 'Labrat Level 3'. You no longer need to find it in the world.
· Labrat Level 3 sells HPR 3S, EPO, AI Steam, and more, in addition to Stretch Nine.
· HPR 3S treats damaged organs, EPO increases bleeding regeneration, and AI regenerates damaged bones.
· Among these, HPR 3S is the most important for the Stretch Nine combo and can be purchased for about 1000 Rubles.
· Stretch Nine costs 600 Rubles each and can be stored in a QRF (Quick Release First Aid Kit) up to 6 times.
· The total cost for the combo using HPR 3S and 4 Stretch Nines is about 3400 Rubles, which is quite cheap in the Gray Zone Warfare economy.

· At Labrat Level 4, you can use V2 versions of AI, HPR, and EPO Steams. These V2 Steams offer higher effects but are more expensive.
· V2 Steams can only be stored in an 'Injector Case' and do not fit in QRF or Rip-Away EMT Pouches.
· HPR Steam, both regular and V2 versions, can be stored in QRF and Rip-Away EMT Pouches.
· At Labrat Level 4, you can obtain the Rip-Away EMT Pouch (9 slots) and the Injector Case (9 slots).
· 'Detox' Steam can be used to instantly clear addiction, but it's not essential since addiction can be managed with HPR 3S and Moxy Fluxin.
· Ultimately, the HPR 3S and Stretch Nine combo is the most efficient, allowing 2km of travel for about 3000 Rubles.
