    Wardogs season 2 adds a gambling system that lets players bet on their own performance

    Wardogs season 2 launches after a game-wide progress wipe on October 15th and adds a gambling system where players can bet on their own performance through a new Wager Vendor, choosing extra restrictions to raise the payout. The season also brings new weapons and vehicles including a high-capacity SMG, molotov cocktails and a tracked AA gun, plus buildable machine gun nests and shelters, and a thundery rainfall weather preset that lowers visibility and masks footsteps. Developer Bulkhead says a friends queue option is not part of this update, while the blue team Lonestar gets moved faction HQs, desaturated outfit colours and cash and XP bonuses throughout the season.

    Wardogs Season 2 offers cash and XP bonuses to get players to pick Blue team

    Wardogs Season 2 will hand out Lonestar cash and XP bonuses to players who pick Blue team, with Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer saying in the Road to Season 2 devlog that the studio is looking at how to help one team's win rate. Blue has struggled with weak camouflage and unfavorable spawn points, and many players avoid it from the start, idling on the selection screen for a slot on Green or Red. The October 15 patch also adds new guns, vehicles, rainy weather on all maps, and the game's first progression wipe, sending everyone back to level 1.
