BULKHEAD and publisher team17 are teaming up with Movember to support men’s health through WARDOGS’ new Tactical ’Stache DLC, launching November 12, alongside Season 3 of the 100-player tactical FPS. Priced at $2 / £2 / €2, 100% of net profits from the DLC will go to Movember, supporting the movement’s work in mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
WARDOGS Movember Charity DLC Trailer
Since 2003, Movember’s community has raised more than $AUD 1.8 billion, funding over 1,320 men’s health projects. Through research, healthier behaviours and improved access to support, Movember is helping men and those around them recognise the signs of health challenges and take action sooner.
The Movember 2026 Tactical ’Stache DLC lets players grow an in-game moustache simply by playing WARDOGS throughout November. The more they play, the bigger their moustache becomes, taking them from questionable upper-lip fluff to facial hair worthy of leading a squad into battle.
Players will also receive a permanent Movember 2026 Scoreboard Badge to show their support throughout the year. While the Tactical ’Stache cosmetic can only be equipped during November, the badge can be equipped permanently.
The collaboration encourages the WARDOGS community to check in on their squadmates and start conversations about men’s health, extending the teamwork at the heart of the game beyond the battlefield. Funds raised will help fund Movember’s programmes in men’s health.
The update also introduces Limited Mode, an alternative experience that restricts vendor purchases to equipment typically available during the early and middle stages of a season. Hollow Point and Armour Piercing ammunition, Level 3 and Level 4 armour, and attack vehicles are among the items excluded, reducing access to powerful endgame equipment. Progression and cash earned carry over between modes, allowing players to switch without starting again.
Season 3 brings changes to how players unlock equipment, with Multi-Track Unlocks allowing shared items such as armour, backpacks, tactical vests and parachutes to be earned through every role track. Players can spend more time in the roles they enjoy while working towards essential equipment.
New catch-up mechanics will also introduce increasing XP bonuses and extended vendor discounts for lower-level players as the season progresses. These changes aim to help players with less time, or those joining later, unlock the equipment needed to counter more powerful items.
BULKHEAD is moving to seasons lasting roughly three months, with slower initial progression more in line with Season 1’s pacing. The longer schedule gives players more time to reach their personal progression goals and use their unlocked equipment before the next wipe, while allowing the studio more time to prepare future updates.
Further changes include weapon and vehicle balance adjustments, improved parachute handling, additional rewards for teamplay, and new community server features. Players will be able to favourite community servers, while performance improvements, server crash fixes and controller refinements are also included.
