WARDOGS Weapons Guide: Prices, Stats, and Unlock Levels

Most shooters give you a weapon and let you get to work the moment you join a match. Well, WARDOGS doesn't do that. Every weapon in this game has a price tag, and if you die while carrying it, that money is gone. This means every fight matters, and you really need to think about both staying alive and managing your money. Here is the list of all weapons in WARDOGS, spread across nine categories, with their prices and stats, too.

How the Weapon Economy Works in WARDOGS

When you start your very first game in WARDOGS, you will get $10,000 in your wallet. This is your total account money, not money you get for each match. Your money carries over between matches, so losing expensive weapons also affects your balance.

Every time you respawn, you need to buy a new kit from the in-game vendor. The amount of money you have decides what weapons and role you can use for that life. This is different from simply choosing a class from a menu.

Some things you need to know, too:

You can also earn money in ways other than getting kills. Reviving teammates, assist kills, spotting enemies, transporting squad members, and capturing objectives can all give you money. So, even if you don't get many kills, you can still become one of the richest players in the match.

1. WARDOGS Assault Rifles Weapons

Assault rifles are the most common weapons in WARDOGS. Most fights happen at mid-range, and ARs are made for these types of fights. All eight ARs give Infantry XP, helping level up your infantry skills.

2. WARDOGS Submachine Guns

SMGs in WARDOGS are made for close-range fights, especially inside buildings, trenches, and areas with limited visibility. All four SMGs give Medic XP, so using them helps level up your healing and support skills.

3. WARDOGS Shotguns

Only two shotguns in WARDOGS right now, both 12 Gauge, both under the Support XP track.

4. WARDOGS Light Machine Guns

LMGs are made for defending areas. They are useful when your team is holding a point or blocking a choke point. Both LMGs give Support XP, helping level up your support skills.

5. WARDOGS Marksman Rifles

Marksman rifles sit between assault rifles and snipers. They're semi-automatic precision weapons for mid-to-long range engagements. All three feed Recon XP.

6. WARDOGS Sniper Rifles

Sniping in WARDOGS can be harder than in other games. Bullets have real drop and travel time here, so you need to aim higher. Good snipers can also earn more by spotting enemies and holding long-range positions. All five sniper rifles feed Recon XP.

7. WARDOGS Compound Bow Weapons

8. WARDOGS Pistols (Sidearms)

Sidearms in WARDOGS are your backup. They go in your secondary slot, and most players carry one because they are cheap. Unlike primary weapons, pistols unlock based on your Wardog level (your global account progression). Most of them still feed Infantry XP, though.

9. WARDOGS Launcher Weapons

Launchers are mainly used to destroy vehicles in WARDOGS. Players can buy helicopters, tanks, and artillery during a match. If the enemy team gets one, your team will need a launcher to take it down. All launchers run on Support XP.

The complete roster of weapons in WARDOGS is a well-put-together list for a game that's still heading toward Early Access launch. From free starter rifles to an $8,800 anti-materiel cannon, there's a great range of options at every price point.

Just try to play and learn about the economy first, build your balance through teamwork, and then you can really understand how the weapon system works here.
