WARDOGS Ballistics

What has BULKHEAD confirmed about WARDOGS weapons?

BULKHEAD is a studio with tactical-FPS heritage, and WARDOGS is positioned as a tactical All-Out Warfare FPS rather than an arcade shooter — official materials emphasize large-scale combined-arms combat across a 2×2 km Control Zone, which is the kind of battlefield where weapon behavior at range genuinely matters.

The hard confirmations on the arsenal side:

• 37 weapons at Early Access launch on September 10, 2026.
• Early Access will expand weapons further, alongside vehicles, maps, progression, and a seasonal metagame — so the arsenal is a live, growing system.
• Weapons are bought as part of your per-deployment loadout through the cash economy, which gives weapon choice an economic dimension most shooters lack.

Official EA expansion plans for the arsenal imply an attachment or customization layer will matter over time, but the exact attachment system has not been detailed publicly. This wiki will document it once verified in-game.

What ballistics data is not public yet?

No official source has published per-weapon ballistics values before launch. Specifically unconfirmed:

• Muzzle velocity per weapon.
• Bullet drop behavior and whether it is simulated per caliber or per weapon class.
• Penetration — how rounds interact with materials, which matters in a game with confirmed destruction.
• Damage models, falloff ranges, recoil patterns, and handling stats for any of the 37 launch weapons.

Any site quoting specific WARDOGS velocity or drop numbers before Early Access is guessing. This wiki will not.

What will this wiki measure and track at Early Access?

Once the game is in players’ hands, the weapons database becomes the core of this site. The plan:

1. Verified per-weapon stats — damage, rate of fire, magazine, reload, recoil, velocity, and weight, measured or captured in-game, each entry dated and tied to a patch version.
2. Ballistics behavior — velocity, drop, and penetration tested per weapon class, since those determine how fights play out across a 2×2 km zone.
3. Attachment effects — documented once the real attachment system is confirmed in-game.
4. Change tracking — every balance update cross-referenced against patch notes, with lastVerified dates on every value.

Categories and battlefield roles will be organized under weapon categories, and practical builds under loadouts.
