Wardogs Season 3 Launches Nov. 12 With New Map, Progression Reset and Limited Mode
November 6, 2026
Wardogs Season 3 launches November 12, bringing a new urban map, longer seasons of roughly three months, multi-track unlocks and a Limited Mode built around early-to-mid-game combat.
The new map, Sabatulo, is intended to give everyone a fresh start and let players discover its layout together.
Limited Mode, also called Primitive servers, restricts weapons, ammunition, armor and vehicles to preserve that base-gear feel; players can move between it and standard servers, with cash and XP shared across both.
The changes respond to criticism that Season 2 progression moved too quickly: Bulkhead says it wants to return closer to Season 1 pacing, while acknowledging it overreacted to feedback and needs to avoid rushed fixes or another swing toward grind.
The wipe resets cash, XP and levels, and re-locks weapons, gear and vehicles, while cosmetics and gold bars remain; leftover cash converts to gold bars at a rate the studio has not announced.
Players are advised to spend cash before the wipe because the conversion rate is unknown, and to try out vehicles before they are unavailable in Limited Mode; using the flying-vehicle exploit risks a permanent ban.
Bulkhead says it analysed 187 million hours of gameplay with machine learning and permanently banned 185,000 accounts tied to exploits, real-money trading and gold farming, with some offenders also losing server-hosting privileges.
Further anti-cheat measures, including a player trust score, are planned for 2027.
Seasons will run for about three months, with a smaller update around the midpoint; Bulkhead also has a larger progression overhaul planned for 2027.
Each season will have its own XP curve and item-unlock order, so progression paths may differ from one season to the next.
Bulkhead says it is focused on a stable, long-term roadmap and is asking players to leave honest reviews, whether positive or negative, rather than join review-bombing campaigns.
Bulkhead says Wardogs has attracted nearly four million unique players since launch.
