WARDOGS Loadout Builder

WARDOGS enters Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026, and its persistent cash economy turns every spawn into a spending decision: all players start with $10,000 and buy a fresh loadout before each deployment. The tool below is the WARDOGS Loadout Builder, designed to price out a complete kit before you commit a single dollar of your in-game bank.

Builder goes live at Early Access launch

WARDOGS launches into Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026. We will fill this builder with verified weapon, vehicle, and gear prices within 72 hours of launch. It will then compute your total loadout cost, the cash remaining from your bank, and how many more deployments you can afford.

How the Loadout Builder Will Work

The builder currently renders in a coming-soon state. BULKHEAD and Team17 have confirmed 37 weapons and 21 vehicles for the Early Access launch, but official prices are not public yet, and this wiki does not publish invented numbers. Within 72 hours of the September 10 launch we will populate the underlying weapon and vehicle database with verified names, categories, and prices taken from the live game.

Once that data lands, the frame above activates automatically. You pick an item for each slot, type your current bank (it defaults to the $10,000 every player starts with), and the builder instantly computes three numbers: the total cost of the loadout, the cash remaining in your bank after buying it, and how many additional deployments you could afford at the same price. Everything runs in your browser — no account, nothing to install.

The Seven Loadout Slots

The builder mirrors the kit decisions you make before each deployment:

• Primary — your main weapon, the core of the kit and usually its biggest line item.
• Secondary — a backup sidearm for when the primary runs dry or the fight gets too close.
• Armor — protection that keeps you alive longer, at a price you pay again every time you die.
• Grenades — throwable firepower for clearing rooms, flushing cover, or cracking vehicles.
• Medical — healing gear for yourself and, depending on your role, for teammates.
• Utility — situational equipment that supports building, logistics, or objective play.
• Vehicle — an optional purchase from the 21-vehicle pool, helicopters included. Most infantry deployments leave this slot empty.

Armor, grenades, medical, and utility stay disabled until we can verify their real in-game items and prices. Weapon and vehicle slots activate first because those two databases are confirmed at launch scale.

Why Per-Deployment Cost Matters

WARDOGS cash is persistent: it carries across matches, but every deployment is a fresh purchase. You earn more through combat, revives, transport, logistics, and objective play, so your bank is a loop of spending and earning — not a one-time allowance. The cash economy guide breaks that loop down in detail.

In a 100-player, three-team battle over a randomized 2×2 km Control Zone, survival is never guaranteed. An expensive kit that dies in the first minute can burn several deployments’ worth of earnings, while a cheap, focused kit keeps your bank healthy even on a bad run. The builder’s “deployments you can afford” number is the simplest way to see that risk before you buy.

What to Do Until Launch

Prices are not public yet, so the smartest preparation is strategic, not numerical. Read the beginner loadouts guide for a framework on spending your first $10,000, and browse the weapons and vehicles databases as verified entries go live after September 10. When the data lands, this page becomes the fastest way to turn a plan into a purchasable kit.
