Bulkhead published a Season 02 teaser on 22 September. The announcement is short and carries exactly one hard fact: Season 02 arrives on 15 October 2026. Everything else was deferred. Here is what that confirms, what can honestly be added from recent announcements, and what would be pure speculation. As of 23 September 2026.

What is confirmed

  • Season 02 is coming. The studio names it directly.
  • The date is 15 October 2026.
  • A teaser video accompanies the post. The announcement makes no claims about content, and further details were promised.

That is the complete content of the announcement. Anything more is reading between lines.

What patch 0.11 adds

The patch 0.11 announcement from 12 September contains two points that touch Season 2 directly.

  • The six announced quality of life features for community servers, from favouriting through priority queues to team switching controls, run independently of the content being built for Season 2 according to the studio. They are not season content and have their own unstated dates.
  • In the economy section the studio mentions in passing that the meta is to be brought into the game, tying the shared economy together more tightly. What exactly that means, and whether it belongs to Season 02, is stated nowhere. We track it as an open question, not a feature.

What is explicitly unknown

There is no official information on content, maps, vehicles, weapons, prices or progression in Season 02. Nothing has been said about whether cash, XP, unlocks or saved progress are touched at the transition. Anyone telling you otherwise today is working from a source we have not seen.

For our data that means catalogue prices, weapon values and role recommendations in the Fieldkit stay unchanged until the patch lands. We do not rewrite them on speculation.

What is worth doing before 15 October

Three weeks is enough time to work with real data instead of rumours.

  • Save your loadouts and budgets now. A stored plan is the best baseline for spotting price changes after the patch at all.
  • Write down your own reference prices, especially for the parts you replace regularly. The loadout budget calculator exists for this.
  • Do not bet on a season effect in the gold rate. The rate in the Fieldkit comes from the daily in-game exchange; a link to season starts is not documented.
  • Note your community server IDs while things are calm. Traffic will predictably rise at the season start.

What happens here next

Once the detailed announcement lands we update the patch tracker first and the affected catalogue and guide pages after that. Verified equipment changes go in when they are documented, not when they sound plausible.
