WARDOGS 第二赛季发布详情：开始日期、上线时间与全部新内容

It feels like WARDOGS only just launched, but BULKHEAD has prepped a huge war chest of content for Season 2. The FPS continues to bring in incredible player numbers, and retention should be aided by the Season 2 release, featuring maps, weapons, and much more.

The WARDOGS devs have been as remarkably transparent as any in recent memory. It’s created a solid foundation and built trust between players and developers. The WARDOGS Season 2 release should only further that connection.

When Does WARDOGS Season 2 Start?

WARDOGS Season 2 releases on October 15, 2026.

Almost one month after early access began, the official launch of the game, Season 2, begins a new chapter on October 15. While the player count isn’t quite touching the near-500K players it reached at launch, it’s still close to 100K, and the new update should help push the game over this again for a while.

Full patch notes for the season are still to come, so stay tuned to Insider Gaming for them, but here’s a word from the devs on the game’s progress:

‘Season 01 is coming to a close. And man, what a rollercoaster it has been.

Watching the game evolve as the metagame shifts, while you learn and adapt to the ever changing sandbox of WARDOGS, has been a developer’s dream. 3+ million sales and counting. We cannot thank you enough.

We didn’t get here by patting ourselves on the back or pretending the game was perfect. We got here through hard work, communication and, most importantly, clarity. Continuing with that clarity is exactly what we feel we owe you for buying into WARDOGS at such an early stage in development.

If you’d rather hop back in at a later update, or wait for 1.0, that’s completely okay. You owe us nothing. We’ll still be here, working on WARDOGS, for whenever you want to play.’

WARDOGS Season 2 Release Times

October 15 at 9 AM PT should see the new update go live, as we expect WARDOGS Season 2 to follow a similar release schedule to Season 1.

This isn’t definite, as we haven’t seen official details from BULKHEAD, but live-service seasons typically follow previous work. Season 1 released at 9 AM PT, so unless something changes, expect that to be the case here.

All WARDOGS Season 2 New Content

Four New Weapons

TCX Spear – Assault Rifle.
M14 – DMR.
PP-19 Bizon – SMG.
Evo-3 Ultra – LMG.

Supported by a range of new attachments.

New Molotov Throwable

Molotov – A thrown incendiary that splashes fire on impact and damages anyone caught in its radius. Throw overarm or underarm – this item is intended damage and area denial.

Four New Vehicles

Wolf-110 – A fast, light wheeled transport.
Wolf-110 (Assault) – The Wolf-110 with a ring-mounted M2 Browning.
T-72 – A main battle tank. Slower than the Leopard, but cheaper and far more fuel-efficient.
Flakpanzer Gepard – Anti Air Vehicle.

Three New Buildables

MG Nest – A manned M2 Browning emplacement.
Large Shelter – A large metal shelter for covering key assets or keeping the rain off.
Wooden Step – A step. Made of wood.

New Rain Weather Preset

A new weather preset that changes visibility, engagement ranges, and sound. Rain interacts with the environment, including damaged and destroyed structures. Thunder is synchronised across the server and can temporarily mask footsteps, opening up new tactical opportunities mid-fight.

New Experimental Wager Vendor

The Wager Vendor lets you bet on yourself. Win big or lose it all.
Choose your objectives, set how many deaths you’re willing to spend completing them, then set your stake and try to profit against the odds. Getting X kills in the hotzone, delivering a number of players, and more besides. The more objectives you stack onto a wager, the longer the odds and the bigger the payout.
A live wager tracker sits above the minimap, showing your stake and your progress toward winning or losing it.
It’s entirely optional, and it takes the cash reward systems WARDOGS is already built around and dials the stakes all the way up. Back yourself and get paid. Or don’t, and watch it burn.

Key In-Game Balance Updates

Infrared Rangefinder – Now runs on batteries.
Helmets – The Super Heavy Helmet now comes with muffled audio, a restricted field of view, and will fog over when you’re sprinting. Heavy and Super Heavy helmets also get increased suppression resistance in line with the new suppression changes, so they fulfil their protective role in more ways than just damage reduction.
Combat balancing – Adjustments to weapon damage, recoil and suppression, with the aim of establishing clearer roles across weapon classes.

Improvements to squad coordination, vehicle handling, controller responsiveness and progression, additional rewards for teamplay and logistics, plus performance optimisations, bug fixes and server stability work.

Faction Balance

All faction spawns have moved on Bakurani.
Lonestar uniforms are more desaturated, so they stand out less against the other factions.
Lonestar faction cash and XP win bonus, Season 2 only.
Lonestar faction cash and XP multipliers, Season 2 only.
A new vendor discount for the losing team: 20% off if they’re at least 40 points behind second place. This applies to all teams, not just Lonestar.
Community server hosts found to be exploiting the faction bonus will be punished.

Thanks to BULKHEAD for the Season 2 notes.
