What Is WARDOGS? Game Overview

A three-team Control Zone war

The publicly described core mode is inspired by King of the Hill. Three teams compete for a randomized 2×2 km Control Zone inside a larger 256 km² map. The team with the most players inside the zone earns points, and the first team to reach 100 wins.

WARDOGS is explicitly positioned as neither a battle royale nor an extraction shooter. The focus is large-scale, team-driven warfare with freedom in how players approach the objective.

Cash persists between matches

Each player starts with $10,000 in-game cash. Team actions such as reviving squadmates, moving friendlies, and controlling the objective can earn more cash.

Cash can be spent on weapons, equipment, and vehicles, and it carries between matches. That makes buying a loadout or vehicle a strategic decision rather than a reset-only choice.
