Studio BULKHEAD released the "Road to Season 02" devlog and held its first pre-season press conference: a recap of Season 01 and what's changing in Season 02.
WARDOGS Season 02 starts on October 15. A full wipe comes before the launch.
Wipe
Season 01 progress will be reset completely. Anything left in a player's wallet will be converted into gold bars that can be spent on permanent cosmetics. Experience earned during early access will be preserved for future progression systems. Camos will no longer be sold: if a player shows up in a camo, it means they earned it.
Balance
The developers will nerf mortar spam and the so-called "drill meta." Logistics will now be rewarded for delivery streaks rather than simply dropping off vehicles. Heavy helmets and tier-4 armor will be reworked. Lonestar will get a bonus to wallet and experience gains. Premade lobby teams won't be possible in Season 02.
New
Season 02 adds four new weapons, a Molotov cocktail, four vehicles, and a rain weather effect. The studio promises the full changelist early next week.
They specifically noted: "After the wipe, everyone starts from zero, veterans included. There won't be a better moment to join as a newcomer."
