Structured summaries of the latest official WARDOGS updates from BULKHEAD (published by Team17): every buff, nerf and fix, with before and after values.
All 6 official updates we track, newest first, from Sep 9, 2026 to Oct 2, 2026. Hotfixes and minor updates that BULKHEAD posted separately are listed as their own entries.
This WARDOGS hotfix disables IR Rangefinders in the vendor until Season 02, when they will need batteries, because BULKHEAD agrees with players that they are too overpowered. It also makes the CIWS destroy the Havoc in about 6 seconds instead of 12, after the previous patch overcorrected it.
BULKHEAD announced a short hotfix for minor security and stability issues affecting some players. It was scheduled for Friday, October 2, at 08:00 UTC, with about one hour of downtime.
WARDOGS update 0.1.2 is a minor Early Access patch that closes several cash and XP exploits and fixes the WD-L020 crash caused by a recent Windows 11 update. It adds a new DEPLOY flow to the server browser to point players to Infantry Mode and Low-Level servers, and BULKHEAD warns that exploiters now risk permanent bans without warning.
Patch 0.11 overhauls the server browser to give community servers more visibility: it splits the browser into Community and Official tabs, adds text search to Community servers and keeps Community Server IDs between matches. BULKHEAD also fixes various cash exploits, adds server capacity in Asia, offers a 5% End of Match cash bonus on community servers for a week, and spells out bans for economy abuse.
BULKHEAD released this small client hotfix on launch day to tackle the problems players hit at launch. It is intended to address players being unable to join servers, being kicked from servers during play, and long login queues; everyone had to restart, update and rejoin the login queue in controlled batches.
This is the launch changelog for WARDOGS Season 1, posted as the pre-load went live. It slows leveling sharply between levels 10 and 20, raises many prices (the Forward Operating Base vendor goes from $2,500 to $7,500), moves Artillery to Career level 90 and the Heavy Tank to the Driver track, and adds a report tracking system plus a batch of crash, voice chat and vehicle fixes.
