WARDOGS Season 3<\/strong> is live<\/strong>. BULKHEAD released Update 0.3.0 on 12 November 2026<\/strong>, and it’s the biggest shake-up since launch: Sabatulo<\/strong>, the game’s first city map, a new Limited Mode<\/strong> without endgame power items, unlocks you can earn from more than one role, a catch-up<\/strong> system for players who fall behind, and seasons that now last about three months<\/strong>. The much-used Infrared Range Finder<\/strong> has been pulled, and DMRs, assault rifles and LMGs hit harder. Here’s what changed, from the official Season 03 patch notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is the new WARDOGS map Sabatulo?<\/h2>\n

Sabatulo is WARDOGS’ first city map<\/strong>: tight streets, high-rises and plenty of destruction, with key locations including a central hospital, a swimming pool, a power station and the river embankment. BULKHEAD says it’s built around urban firefights, close-quarters combat and verticality, so you can fight room to room, street to street or take the high ground.<\/p>\n

What is Limited Mode in WARDOGS?<\/h2>\n

A new mode where vendor items are limited to what’s usually available early to mid season. In Limited Mode there’s no HP or AP ammo<\/strong>, no Level 3 or 4 armor<\/strong>, no attack vehicles<\/strong>, no CIWS, Stingray, MG Nest or Drill Rig, and no anti-tank mines<\/strong>. It’s aimed at fairer fights and at players joining later in a season, and all progression and cash carry over to the other modes.<\/p>\n
