Wardogs will bribe players with cash and XP to pick Blue team in Season 2

Wardogs will bribe players with cash and XP to pick Blue team in Season 2

Bulkhead, the developer of Wardogs, plans to bribe players with cash and experience points to force them to choose Blue team in Season 2, according to CEO Joe Brammer. This controversial move is aimed at improving the team's win rate, despite all three teams starting on equal footing. Many Wardogs players have been avoiding Blue team due to practical balancing issues, such as their inferior camouflage and unfavorable spawn points, but the primary reason is that Blue team is seen as a "self-fulfilling prophecy."

Players who experience a bad night with Blue team may develop negative perceptions, leading others to avoid it as well. The bribery bonuses are seen as a drastic measure, but it is expected to significantly boost Blue team's popularity in Season 2.
