Bulkhead desires to spice up one crew’s win fee, and it is keen to bribe its gamers (with in-game money) to do it. Regardless of all three groups beginning on equal grounds, many Wardogs gamers have been avoiding Blue from the beginning, going as far as to idle on the choice display for minutes ready for a slot to open on Inexperienced or Crimson.

The are sensible balancing issues that work in opposition to Blue crew, like their lackluster camouflage and unfavorable spawn factors (Season 2 is tackling Bakurani), however the bonuses are supposed to counter the opposite purpose Blue sucks, as I coated final month:

“One other, much less talked about chance, is that Blue crew’s infamy is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of us have one dangerous night time with Lonestar and resolve to imagine the status, or hear it is the crew to keep away from, or discover everybody else actively avoiding it, and you find yourself with a Blue crew stuffed with much less skilled gamers.”

XP and money bribes are a drastic transfer, however ought to have an actual impression. It is unclear how massive these boosts shall be, however I anticipate Blue will immediately turn out to be the most well-liked crew by a large margin in Season 2.

I’m wondering, although, if this downside wasn’t slowly sorting itself out already. I’ve seen the Blue bias dying down over the previous couple weeks—the faction continues to be principally shedding within the NA West servers I frequent, however they’re additionally scoring factors and competing, which is a constructive signal. I’ve even been on a few profitable Blue groups, if you happen to can imagine it.
