'This Is Us Holding Our Hands Up' — Wardogs Developer Admits It 'F***ed Up' With Season 2 Launch
Bulkhead said 5% cash and 2.5% XP bonuses drew the game’s best players, forcing a hotfix after Blue Team began dominating matches.
- Bulkhead removed XP and cash boosts for Blue Team in a recent hotfix, addressing balance issues sparked by Season 2's launch; the bonuses offered 5% extra cash and 2.5% extra XP.
- Season 2 introduced the incentives to help polish Lonestar's reputation, but the experiment backfired as experienced players quickly unlocked Tier 4 armor and MBTs; Bulkhead intended the bonuses as temporary.
- Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer apologized for the "wrong call," admitting, "We were wrong, we f***ed up," and addressed complaints about Bakurani spawn placement rebalancing efforts.
- Despite calls for a progression wipe, Bulkhead confirmed it will not reset Wardogs Season 2; instead, the studio is considering an early Season 3 launch to provide a fresh start.
- Bulkhead plans to share more balance-fix details in a developer vlog next week, noting that teething issues are expected while Wardogs remains in Early Access ahead of its 1.0 release.
