WARDOGS Season 3 is due to launch today, 12 November, bringing the tactical shooter’s first city map alongside a Movember charity collaboration. BULKHEAD and Team17 have scheduled maintenance from 1pm to 3pm UK time, with roughly two hours of downtime expected before the new season becomes available.
The new map is Sabatulo, mixing tight streets, high-rise positions and destructible surroundings. A hospital, swimming pool, power station and river embankment provide the landmarks, while the layout is designed to support room-to-room fighting as well as elevated sightlines.
Limited Mode offers another way to play by restricting vendor purchases to equipment normally found in the early and middle stages of a season. That removes options including high-level armour, certain powerful ammunition types and attack vehicles, while allowing earned cash and progression to carry between modes.
Progression is changing too, with shared equipment available through multiple role tracks. Catch-up bonuses and extended vendor discounts will increase for lower-level players as the season progresses, helping those who arrive later work towards useful equipment.
The studio is also moving towards seasons of roughly three months, with slower initial progression. That should give unlocked equipment more time in use before the next wipe, although the balance of that longer journey will be something players judge once the season is underway.
The Movember Tactical ’Stache DLC costs £2, with 100% of net profits going to Movember. Net profits here means revenue after platform fees, sales tax, refunds and chargebacks, rather than the entire purchase price being passed on.
The pack adds a moustache that grows as you play during November, plus a permanent Movember 2026 scoreboard badge. The facial hair can only be equipped during November, but the badge remains available year-round, so your squad can retain evidence of the charitable upper-lip experiment.
The update also includes balance changes, fixes and community-server improvements. Check the official patch notes before jumping in, particularly while today’s maintenance window is still ahead. You can find the public details in the official announcement or store listing.
