Use this timeline to find what changed and which official notice supports it. Dates below are UTC release or planned-maintenance dates as labeled. A planned patch window is not a confirmation of its finishing time. This archive includes the six notices verified for this launch, rather than claiming every announcement has been catalogued.
Season 2 adds four weapons, four vehicles, new buildables and a rain weather preset. It also revises combat balance, suppression, team switching and team-kill handling, and introduces a Lonestar faction-balance experiment.
New weapons: TCX-SPR assault rifle, PP-19 Bizon SMG, Evo-3 Ultra LMG and M14 marksman rifle.
New vehicles: Wolf-110, an M2 Browning-equipped Wolf-110, T-72B3 and Flakpanzer Gepard.
Rain affects visibility, surfaces, environmental audio and Molotov fire.
A Wager Vendor is planned for later in Season 2; the notes explicitly say it is not available at launch.
Date basis: Release confirmed by official announcement

The patch notes address the WD-L020 Windows crash, cash and XP exploits, and server-browser usability. They also describe community-server administration, stability, security and quality-of-life changes. Maintenance was scheduled from 08:00 UTC for approximately one hour.

The team scheduled a server-browser patch for September 14 at 08:00 UTC. The notes separate Official and Community browsing, improve community-server search and persistent IDs, and address cash exploits and GPU crashes.

A small client update targeted connection failures, unexpected server kicks and long login queues. Players were instructed to close the game, install the update and rejoin the login queue while access reopened in controlled batches.
Date basis: Official announcement publication date in UTC
Match the game and version. This archive covers BULKHEAD's WARDOGS, Steam app 1867240. Version labels follow the official notice, including “0.11” where that is the original title.
Separate a plan from a release. A scheduled date explains the intended window. Check for a subsequent live or recovery announcement before assuming deployment finished.
Read the affected system. A server-side balance change may not need a client download. A client update may require closing the game and installing the patch through Steam.
Use the original for detail. Summaries help you locate the right notice. The developer's full changelog remains the reference for exact values and exceptions.
What the timeline does not establish
It does not measure uptime, predict the next release, verify your installed client or determine every community server's state. A date in this archive is not a wipe announcement. For the next known time, return to the update time overview; for corrections, send the original official source.
