Will WARDOGS reset Season 02?
By George In The Meta ·
Short answer: no reset for now. BULKHEAD told players on 17 October, day three of Season 02, that it wouldn't wipe the season that weekend and would bring the start of Season 3 forward instead. By then the reset it had just done had already stopped meaning much in my games: players over level 90 and a Leopard tank on the battlefield. I'll be back for Season 3, and until then I'm sticking to trucking.
What did BULKHEAD announce about Season 02?
BULKHEAD announced on 17 October that it's keeping Season 02 running and moving Season 3 earlier. In the official WARDOGS post on X, it accepted that faster levelling had let players get Tier 4 armour and main battle tanks within days, and that as a result "the wipe never really landed". It plans to fix the clearest balance problems, watch the ones the community is split on, and explain Season 3's timing in a dev vlog the week of 20 October.
What did WARDOGS Season 02 look like by day three?
By day three, WARDOGS Season 02 had the gear spread of a season months old. On the evening of 17 October the global scoreboard on my Europe (West) server had players at Wardog level 81, 83, 90, 93 and 94, out of 87 players, and someone was already driving a Leopard, the tank that sits at the end of the Driver track.
I asked in all chat how anyone was level 90 already. The answers were about tanks, and an hour earlier other players had been saying building was pointless this season, with a tank parked outside a FOB.

Should WARDOGS have reset Season 02?
My view: if they were going to wipe, they needed to do it sooner rather than later. It depends how long Season 02 was meant to run, and a couple of days in, a wipe wouldn't have hurt them. BULKHEAD chose an earlier Season 3 instead.
What am I doing until Season 3?
I'll come back for Season 3. My first reaction on day three was to stop playing WARDOGS until they sort this season out. But I'll probably end up playing Season 02 anyway, sticking to trucking and not really engaging with the war part of the game. I don't know yet if I'll stream it. I still enjoy basically playing Euro Truck Simulator in a war zone (my Driver rig and supply runs). And I wouldn't play the Limited Mode servers BULKHEAD promised for later in the season (why not).
