WARDOGS FIELD MANUAL

Item desk.

The objects that turn a good route into a repeatable one: build, recover, resupply and keep the specialist tools in reach.

06 RECORDS / ITEM LEDGER

Official price and unlock changes are kept beside community-tested handling tips. Exact item stats stay out until a current source can support them.

Forward Operating Base

The squad’s return point and a commitment: place it to support a route, then protect it from enemy hacking.

FOBbase buildinglogistics

The Season 1 changelog raised the vendor price from $2,500 to $7,500.
The official listing frames logistics and vehicles as part of the wider battlefield loop.

Construction toolOfficial

A higher-tier build tool for squads that want to turn a foothold into a defensible system.

Inventory / tempoCommunity-tested

Move specialist items into backpack quickslots 4–9 so the tool is available without stopping to search the kit.

Recovery / squad sustainCommunity-tested

Bandages, medkits and a defibrillator form the community’s recurring baseline for staying useful after the first down.

Exact prices and carry limits are intentionally not stated until verified in-game.
Treat the defibrillator as a hotbar item when the squad is playing around revives.

Ammunition / counterplayCommunity-tested

Armor-piercing ammunition is the community answer to protected vehicle angles, including Humvee windows and helicopter pilots.

AParmorcounterplay

The vehicle tip sheet specifically calls out AP for Humvee windows and heli pilots.
Do not assume every caliber or hit location behaves the same way.

Logistics / economyOfficial

Crates are an economy decision as much as a resupply object: carry what the next move needs and keep the lane open.

The Season 1 changelog rescaled the supply-crate purchase curve.
Low-value crate items no longer provide the same XP opportunity described in the pre-launch economy.
