WARDOGS Wiki: Launch Guides and Community Server Guides
14 guides to help you master WARDOGS
WARDOGS is a 100-player, three-team shooter from BULKHEAD, published with Team17. Three teams fight over a randomised two by two kilometre control zone inside a larger map, on a destructible battlefield in the industrial mountains of Eastern Europe, and the first team to a hundred points takes the match. Everyone starts with $10,000 and buys a loadout each life, with teamplay paying the best rates and the balance carrying over between matches. The guides below answer what players are asking in launch week. Further down, the community-server pages track what BULKHEAD has and has not confirmed about player-run servers.
