Wardogs' honeymoon ends as FOB, drill and mortar meta takes over

Wardogs launched into Steam Early Access on Sept. 10 and peaked at 428,666 concurrent players over its first weekend. A month in, the community is complaining about balance: teams camping FOBs with drills and mortars, and Level 4 armor making players nearly unkillable. Bulkhead is preparing adjustments for Season 2 on Oct. 15.
