WARDOGS Season 1 changelog: what changed

The changelog that opened Early Access is the closest thing to a price list BULKHEAD has published. Every price and unlock line in it is below, set against the figure our own list carries.

Quoted word for word from BULKHEAD's announcement of 9 Sep 2026 · read 15 Oct 2026

Every price change, against our list

14 lines, quoted as BULKHEAD printed them. Where our price board carries the same item, its figure sits beside the line — 9 of the 9 we carry match. Names differ in places: our list follows the community rosters, so the changelog's Artillery Tank is our SPH-2 and its Little Bird our AH-6M.

What it does to your wallet

What the post saysWhat it means
“Player kill using an air vehicle: 300 XP to 250 XP.”Gunship farming pays less XP than it did in the beta.
“Supply crate item sold under $75: 25 XP to 1 XP.”The crate-selling loop that older guides still recommend pays a twenty-fifth of the XP it did.
“Rescaled the supply crate purchase curve from 25 to 250 down to 1 to 200, so low value items are priced sensibly and cannot be abused.”BULKHEAD's own words for why: the loop was abusable.

Everything else, briefly

  • Levels 10 to 20 slowed down and the curve flattened from 35 onward; level 20 now takes 250,000 XP, 124% more than in the beta.
  • Vehicle turrets got a maximum rotation speed, the Z20 Lakota a balance pass, and 155mm, 122mm and flare deployables take more room in a loadout.
  • A new report-tracking system that weights repeat and bad-faith reporters down.
  • Voice chat, frame generation and a run of crash fixes.
