WARDOGS FIELD MANUAL

Map desk.

The map is not a postcard. It is the relationship between the next zone, a safe return point, a logistics lane and three teams trying to cut it.

TACTICAL READ / 001

Read the zone
before the fight.

WARDOGS uses randomized 2×2 km Control Zones, so this desk tracks map anatomy and repeatable decisions rather than pretending one fixed route solves every match.

Static map names and coordinates will be added when the live map set supports them. For now, these pages document the objective geometry that survives a randomized drop.

Control Zone

Three teams contest a randomized zone. The official win condition is first to 100 points.

  • The official listing describes up to 100 players across three teams.
  • The best route is the one that improves the next contest, resupply or disengagement.

Randomized 2×2 km zone

The official store description frames each Control Zone as a randomized 2×2 km battlefield, so memorizing one fixed route is not enough.

  • Build a decision tree around cover, elevation, logistics and the next zone rather than relying on a single landmark.
  • A complete coordinate atlas waits for a stable map set.

FOB footprint

The current FOB guide recommends building toward the outside of the base square while leaving a usable logistics lane.

  • Place the FOB away from structures and protect it from enemy hacking.
  • The map is a system: approach control, resupply and recovery should share the same footprint.

Tower pickup route

Towers are a current community lead for weapon pickups, with a reported take-and-drop reroll behavior when the first weapon is wrong.

  • Do not treat the report as a guaranteed spawn table.
  • Use the route to get a usable start, then rotate toward the objective rather than farming a single tower.

Church roof

The Season 1 changelog records a fix for an exploit that let players reach an unintended position on the church roof.

  • This is a patch-history landmark, not a route recommendation.
  • Avoid building a strategy around unintended geometry.
