BULKHEAD has acknowledged that the adjustments made to accelerate progression in War Dogs Season 2 were a mistake. In response to player backlash over the update, the team plans to significantly advance the release of Season 3 and some of its content, offering a more complete fresh start for the next phase.
Season 2 was originally intended to provide a "fresh start" through a reset, but actual progression did not meet expectations. The studio noted that some players obtained endgame gear, such as Tier 4 armor and main battle tanks, within just a few days, undermining the sense of progression the reset was meant to foster. The team will correct clearly unbalanced content, while continuing to monitor changes that have received mixed feedback.
Regarding calls for an immediate hard reset, BULKHEAD stated they would not rush another reset over the weekend to avoid unfairly impacting players who are currently enjoying their progression. Specific adjustments for Season 3 will be announced in next week's development diary video, with the studio emphasizing that the Early Access phase is precisely the time to identify and address such issues.
