Wardogs Season 2 is adding a new gambling system that will allow players to bet on their own performances.

The new season of Wardogs, due to launch on October 15, features a bunch of new content, most notably a new weather system that adds rain to matches. Another major mechanic lets players win big, or lose tons of cash. It's called the Wager Vendor, and it allows players to bet on themselves. If you think you can kill 20 people in a match, make a bet, and you will be rewarded. However, if you fail, you will lose cash. The harder your challenge is, the more you stand to win.

Speaking exclusively to IGN about the new system, developer Bulkhead noted that it technically won't be available to players as soon as the season launches, as they'll have to unlock it by building up cash.

"The Wager Vendor basically lets you bet on your own performance," said Bulkhead co-founder Howard Philpott. "So if I want to go in and say, 'I'm going to get 20 kills this match,' you then set that in your Wager Vendor, you then set the condition so I can say, 'Oh, I need to go and kill 20 people with my fists.' Okay, that's a bit harder, but that's when the odds go up. And then you set that as a condition and you can add multiple conditions."

"If you're a really good player and you're really smart about building your wager, you can make big money, but you can also lose big money," added senior producer Kane Allard.
