Structured by Nerf Radar from the official notes (curated by hand). Curated by hand from the official Steam announcement (WARDOGS is in Early Access). The three "Key Updates" bullets summarize items that are listed in full below them, so only the full items are included. The maintenance notice and the Season 02 preview are not changes. Exploit fixes are labeled as fixes because BULKHEAD lists them under "Cash & XP Gain Exploits Fixed".
