WARDOGS 0.1.2 and the IR hotfix: what changes in your plan.

What is this page?

Update 0.1.2 changes some reward and revive behaviour. The separate October 2 hotfix withdraws IR rangefinders from the vendor until Season 2. The builder now blocks IR while retaining its historical community price. Neither announcement supplies a complete new vendor price sheet.

Who it is for

• Recon players checking which ranging tool is available
• Support players rechecking construction and logistics returns
• Players comparing an older guide with official changes

Official 0.1.2 mechanics, not new fixed payouts.

Revive checks move to the server. Rewards associated with the vehicle fly-through exploit are capped, destruction rewards depend on build progress, and out-of-zone FOB pallet deposits return less. Throwables are disabled in enclosed vehicle seats. The patch also fixes a Havoc cannon-damage bug.

• No exact new logistics multiplier is given.
• The exploit-related cap is not evidence of a universal vehicle-kill cap.
• The official notes warn of account enforcement for economy exploits.

The October 2 IR and CIWS hotfix.

IR rangefinders are withdrawn until Season 2, with battery use announced on return. Ordinary rangefinders are not named in that withdrawal. The CIWS-versus-Havoc balance example changes from about twelve seconds to about six; this is not a universal time-to-kill promise.

• The retained $1,200 IR value is historical community data, not an official current offer.
• No battery quantity, runtime, or revised IR price is supplied.
• Availability will be checked against release evidence rather than a date alone.

Our planning checklist for the next run.

These are editorial budgeting recommendations, not extra patch claims. Start with the smallest kit that completes the job, record its actual receipt, and only increase spend after the reserve remains intact.

• Recon: select binoculars or an ordinary rangefinder; remove IR from old saved plans.
• Support: record the receiving zone and completed work before evaluating a reward route.
• Medic: establish cover and confirm the server-accepted revive outcome.
• Keep every old price’s original evidence label; an official mechanics update does not reconfirm community prices.

Limitations

• The reviewed public announcements do not provide a complete current price, unlock, or reward export.
• Historical prices can differ from the live vendor.
• Season 2 return conditions require release verification, not just a teaser date.

Frequently asked questions

Is the normal rangefinder removed too?

The official hotfix names IR rangefinders, not the ordinary rangefinder. The ordinary item remains selectable in this planner.

Why can I still see the IR price?

It is retained for history and labelled unavailable. The builder disables it and the server rejects quotes containing it.

Did 0.1.2 change all prices?

The reviewed notice contains no complete replacement price table. We corrected sourced availability and affected guide assumptions without inventing vendor prices.
