Bodycam Patch 3: Private Lobby Earnings Cut to 50%

Bodycam‘s V0.8 Patch 3, released September 8, 2026, patches out an exploit that let a session host crash every other player’s game, restores private lobby currency earnings to 50% of the normal rate, and cuts weapon attachment prices by 25–30%. It’s the second time in five days that Reissad Studio has rewritten how you earn currency in this game, after a September 4 patch already boosted Reissad Points multipliers across every mode. This piece walks through what actually happened, what the studio has and hasn’t confirmed about player data, and what the economy changes mean for how long you’re grinding before you can afford the guns you want.

On September 8, Reissad Studio confirmed that a session host could remote crash other players’ games by spawning hundreds of entities. The studio says it has banned the players identified as abusing it and released a patch addressing the issue in this latest update.

What stood out was the delay. Reissad Studio went roughly a day without a public statement while reports circulated, and it addressed that directly rather than pretending the silence didn’t happen. In its own words, the team wanted to establish the facts before making a public statement, and explained that it contacted the players involved, investigated the reports, and reviewed our network code to understand how the exploit was being used, which took the entire day, and during that time, we could not confidently confirm or dismiss the claims circulating online. The studio also admitted the communication itself was a mistake, saying we should have let you know that we were investigating, even before we had all the answers, and we apologize for leaving you without clear updates during that time.

The exploit fix is one half of the patch. The other half is a currency and pricing rollback, and it’s the part with actual staying power for anyone still grinding. According to the patch notes, this update restores private lobby earnings at 50% of the standard rate, and lowers attachment prices by 25–30%, alongside closing an exploit that had been inflating earnings inside Versus matches specifically.

None of this happened in a vacuum. Reissad Studio used the same post to admit the underlying economy has been broken for a while, stating plainly that weapon attachments cost too much, and earning currency takes too long, which pushed players turning to currency farming and exploits to progress at a reasonable pace. The studio’s own diagnosis of its earlier fix was blunt too: it says it addressed that problem in the wrong way and that progression felt too slow as a result.

Five days earlier, the September 4 update had already tried to fix the same complaint from the other direction, by boosting how many Reissad Points public matches pay out. Multipliers rose across the board: Gun Game: +25% • Team Deathmatch: +50% • Deathmatch: +50% • Hardpoint: +75%, with Wingman and Versus reportedly pushed to +100% in the same pass. Stack that against a bar chart of the six modes and Versus and Wingman are doing double duty as the fastest public routes to currency right now, at least until the next balance pass changes the numbers again.

Reissad Studio hasn’t published the actual Reissad Points value of a single match or the price of any named attachment before or after the cut, so there’s no honest way to turn this into a total hour count — anyone telling you a fully kitted loadout takes exactly X hours is guessing past what the studio has said. What is known: this is the second time in five days the studio has touched the same problem, private lobby income is deliberately capped below the public-match rate, and the stated reason is that public matches need to stay the main draw or, in the studio’s framing, there’s nobody left to fill the queue.

Practically, three things change starting with this patch. First, the entity-spam crash exploit is dead — if you saw a lobby host suddenly flood the map with objects right before everyone’s game locked up, that specific trick no longer works, and the accounts caught doing it are already banned. Second, private-lobby grinding is back but deliberately weaker than public matches; if you were parking bots in a custom lobby to farm currency overnight, you’re now earning half of what a real match pays, by design. Third, attachments got cheaper across the board, which softens the blow of the earlier “progression felt too slow” problem the studio itself named, even without an exact price list to point to.

The Versus and Wingman multiplier boost from the September 4 patch is still the standout for anyone who wants public-match income without touching a private lobby at all, at least until the next patch note resets the meta. Since the multipliers and the lobby cap were both live changes tied to a specific patch, check the current in-game mode list before assuming last week’s numbers still hold.
