How has the Bulldog changed in every patch?

The Bulldog has been changed in 7 patches since the closed beta, most recently in patch 11.08. Each entry links to the full notes for that patch.

  1. Patch 11.08
    • Buff Horizontal (Yaw) switch time increased from 0.37s → 0.6s
    • Nerf Chance for horizontal (Yaw) to switch increased from 6% → 10%
    • Buff Horizontal (Yaw) switch time increased from 0.50s → 0.60s
  2. Patch 6.02
    • Fixed an issue where Frenzy and Bulldog reload audio is quieter than other weapons in third person
  3. Patch 4.07
    • Bulldog and Stinger now delay firing inputs while bringing up the weapon to aim down sights (ADS)
      • Prevents you from getting burst mode accuracy improvements before they finish raising your weapon.
      • Adds a slight cost to the decision to switch to burst firing mid-combat.
      • You can still begin firing immediately while switching back to full auto/hip fire mode.
  4. Patch 4.02
    • Fixed a bug where the pulsing FX around the Spectrum Z logo were appearing next to the trigger during second inspect animation on the Bulldog.
  5. Patch 4.0
    • Hip fire rate increased 9.5 → 10
    • Recovery on burst fire improved from.4 →.35
      • Inaccuracy is accrued any time the weapon is re-fired prior to a complete duration of a weapon’s respective Gun Recovery Time. Lower recovery time should improve burst fire efficiency.
  6. Patch 3.0
    • Hip-fire (full auto mode) firing rate increased from 9.15 RPS → 9.5 RPS
    • Price decreased 2100 → 2050
      • The Bulldog was feeling just slightly underpowered in close/mid range situations where hip fire was the go-to. So we’re giving it a bit more of a firing rate to compete, and lowering the price to make it more enticing to buy.
  7. Patch 0.50
    • Bulldog Automatic Fire:
      • Fixed an issue where the Gun Recovery Time was higher than intended
      • Gun Recovery Time:.55s >>.35s
