Wardogs Season 3 Launches Nov. 12 With New Map, Progression Reset and Limited Mode
  • 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.
