'We f**ked up': 1 day into Wardogs Season 2, the Blue team bribery bonus is being dropped
Bulkhead's effort to make life better for the Blues worked a little too well.
One day into Wardogs Season 2, Bulkhead Interactive has scrapped the bribery plan it announced to encourage players to join the Blue team. The plan was far too effective. Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer admitted the company "fucked up" in a new video. The Blue team is now winning by far, despite the bonuses being minor - 5% Lonestar cash and 2.5% XP.
Top players saw significant boosts. Bulkhead co-founder Howard Philpott said the studio underestimated the impact. Bulkhead is removing the Blue XP bonus and cash bonus, and will hold a backend update removing the bonus, fixing driver progression, fixing an exploit, and introducing limited mode servers.
