New Enforcement Standards in Wardogs
Bulkhead has officially released Patch 0.11 for its PC title, Wardogs. This update marks a significant shift in how the development team handles players who manipulate game systems to gain an unfair advantage. The studio has clarified its stance on exploits, specifically targeting those who attempt to bypass intended progression mechanics or disrupt the in-game economy. These changes are effective immediately for all PC users.
The new enforcement policy categorizes violations based on the severity of the exploit. Players found stockpiling money through unauthorized methods will now face a timed ban alongside a full account reset. More severe infractions, such as farming experience points through server-side exploits, will result in an immediate permanent ban. Furthermore, the studio has taken a hard line against the dissemination of these methods; any user found creating or sharing tutorial content that advertises economy exploits will be issued a permanent ban from the game.
Reporting and Community Compliance
While the penalties are severe, Bulkhead has provided a clear path for players to avoid these consequences. The studio is actively encouraging the community to report bugs and exploits directly to the development team rather than publicizing them. Players who choose to report these issues through official channels are granted an exemption from permanent bans, provided they do not abuse the exploit themselves.
