WARDOGS

Shooter

WARDOGS is a tactical all-out warfare first-person shooter from BULKHEAD, published by Team17. One hundred players split across three teams fight over a shifting control zone on destructible maps set in the derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe. Teamwork pays and cash is king: you earn money in each match to buy weapons, attachments and vehicles, build forward operating bases, run logistics and call in support. It launched in Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026, sold over 3 million copies in its first weeks, and Season 02 (Update 0.2.0) went live on October 15, 2026. Console versions are planned for 2028. Our WARDOGS guides cover classes and leveling, loadouts and the weapon meta, maps and objectives, vehicles and helicopters, FOBs and logistics, money, settings and fixes.
