Bodycam Updates: Locked and Loaded Timeline and Next Update
Bodycam's development moves fast: the V0.8 'Locked and Loaded' update landed September 2, 2026 with two follow-up patches in the next 48 hours, on top of the Zombie Mode (V0.7.0) and a 2026 roadmap that promised everything from animation reworks to player-driven improvements. This page tracks the timeline and what has been announced next.
Update Timeline: V0.7 to V0.8
The last two major updates reshaped the game:
| Date | Update | Headline Content |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 2025 | V0.7.x line | Zombie Mode revealed, performance and stability patches |
| Early 2026 | V0.7.0 Major | Zombie Mode ships + new CQB map |
| Aug 29, 2026 | Private Playtest | Locked & Loaded playtest for the community |
| Sep 2, 2026 | V0.8 Locked & Loaded | Trench Warfare, Loadout System, Reissad Points, 17:00 UTC launch |

| Sep 4, 2026 | Soundtrack patch | Lobby jukebox with the Early Access soundtrack |
What 'Locked and Loaded' Changed
V0.8 was positioned by the studio as the moment Bodycam stopped being a bedroom project: Trench Warfare arrived as a new headline mode, the Loadout System and Reissad Points progression rebuilt how players unlock and configure gear, and the per-mode RP multipliers created real reasons to rotate modes.
The supporting patches landed fast - a mute button, DLSS Multi Frame Generation, Film Grain and keybind clearing within 24 hours, then the RP multiplier rework and weapon presentation updates the day after.
What Comes Next
The officially confirmed signal: in the V0.7.0 announcement the studio said it is 'working on several updates in parallel', and the 2026 roadmap Part 1 framed system-level reworks (sound, gameplay, animations, gadgets, UI/UX) as the ongoing direction. Part 1 shipped as Locked and Loaded.
No date for the next major update has been announced. Based on the V0.7 to V0.8 cadence and the roadmap language, expect community playtests to precede any release - the studio ran exactly that pattern before V0.8 with its August playtest.
How to Track Updates Yourself
All patch communication runs through Steam news on the official Bodycam page and the studio's YouTube channel (approaching 100,000 subscribers at the time of V0.8). This page is refreshed around every major patch.
