Wardogs Season 02 Patch Notes Highlights: Buff & Nerf

In this article we highlighting the Season 02 Patch notes of all WARDOGS weapons. Read the full patch notes here.

Combat Balance

Damage Update

High-calibre rounds like .308 and 7.62x54mmR were built for sniper rifles, where a slow fire rate and small magazines balance out their big damage per shot. In assault rifles, DMRs and LMGs, those same rounds were doing close to sniper damage at a much faster fire rate. That made these weapons far stronger than the others in their archetype, and picking anything else felt like a disadvantage.

This update doesn't make high-calibre weapons 'bad'. It brings them closer to the other weapons in their archetype. The FAL still has the highest damage-per-shot within the assault rifle category, but now sits closer to the TCX-SPR and M4. Sniper rifles remain the category for big single-shot damage, and we've increased their hit-location damage to counter the base damage reduction to keep that sniper fantasy.

Calibre Base Damage Reductions

These changes affect every weapon that uses these rounds, including infantry & vehicle weapons.

  • .308 Winchester -25%
  • 7.62x54mmR -20%
  • 7.62x39mm -19%
  • .50 Cal -16%

DMRs

Hit-location damage has been adjusted for the new calibre base damage values. Headshots and upper-body hits are slightly weaker, so DMRs sit between assault rifles and snipers. They should be more punishing than an assault rifle, but not a faster-firing sniper rifle.

Assault Rifles & LMGs

  • Damage to the upper, middle and lower torso was too inconsistent before. It's now more even, so body-shot damage is more predictable.
  • Assault rifle body shots do slightly less damage.
  • LMG body damage now matches assault rifles. LMGs win fights through sustained fire and magazine size, not by out-damaging assault rifles on every shot.

Scout Rifle

  • Scout Rifle headshots now one-shot targets with no helmet.
  • A Level 1 helmet takes two headshots to kill.

Level 3 Armor & Helmets

  • Damage reduction lowered 55% → 50%.

Level 4 Armor & Helmets

  • Damage reduction lowered 65% → 60%.
  • Level 4 Helmet now has muffled audio, muffled proximity chat, a restricted field of view, and will fog over when you're sprinting.
  • Level 3 and Level 4 helmets also now have increased suppression resistance.

12 Gauge Slugs

  • Slug damage against armor now scales with armor tier instead of one flat reduction.

Weapon Recoil & Balance Adjustments

MP5

  • Recoil pattern updated to have more of a horizontal pattern, as it was too easy to use.

Super-45

  • Damage fall-off increased beyond 50m, its effective range, pushing it firmly into a close-quarters role.

DMRs

  • New recoil pass across all DMRs to bring them more in line with their power curve.

MGL-40

  • Muzzle velocity reduced -25%.
  • 40mm outer radius now has a stronger damage fall-off.
  • Experiences much more inaccuracy and sway, slower ADS speed, and a reload penalty when sitting on the Little Bird bench, to reduce reliability.

Mosin

  • New PU 91/30 (3.5x) Scope for the Mosin.
  • Mosin no longer has access to other optic sights, as these sights were not intended to be compatible until future planned customization features become available.
