WARDOGS FIELD MANUAL
Weapon desk.
A living weapon index for the current launch conversation: rifles, sidearms, anti-vehicle tools, ammunition and the pickup routes players are testing.
World pickup / opening tempo
Tower weapon spawns
Current player testing reports weapons spawning on top of towers; take and drop a wrong weapon to clear the crate for a new roll.

- The behavior is useful for a fast opening route but should be re-tested after patches.
- Do not treat a tower as a guaranteed weapon type until the community has mapped the current build.

M4
A community-favorite generalist example when a squad wants a familiar rifle plus an optic, grip and sustain items.

- The cited build is a player loadout, not a developer recommendation.
- The useful lesson is role fit: keep the rifle build readable and leave room for medical or specialist utility.

AK-74 / SKS
Community loadout threads repeatedly use AK-74 and SKS examples for a lower-complexity rifle slot.

- Exact recoil, damage and price tables are not published here without a verified current data source.
- Use the weapon as part of a job, not as a tier-list verdict.

Galil
The Galil appears in current community budget builds as a flexible rifle for players who want to keep money for utility.
riflebudgetassault
- One player-described budget build lands under roughly $10,000; treat that number as an estimate, not a price guarantee.
- Compare the purchase against the next recovery or transport need.
Reddit loadout thread · community ↗Sidearm / recovery weapon
Glock 17
A sidearm option mentioned in current community loadout sharing for players who want a light secondary.
sidearmsecondarymobility
- No official damage, price or unlock table is asserted here.
- Pairing it with a clear primary role is more important than chasing a universal best weapon.
Reddit loadout thread · community ↗Anti-vehicle / specialist
MAAWS
A current community loadout example for squads that want a direct answer to armor and vehicle pressure.
anti-vehiclelauncherspecialist
- The value is situational: carry it when the squad expects armor, not automatically every match.
- Keep the specialist item in a reachable quickslot.
Reddit loadout thread 2 · community ↗Remote ordnance / vehicle counter
Stingray drone strike
Arm the drone until the red aiming square appears before committing to a vehicle strike.

- The community notes that the antenna can break a spawn without destroying the vehicle.
- A rear hit is reported as capable of destroying a tank in one strike; treat that as a tested tactic, not a guarantee.
Reddit intermediate tips · community ↗Ammo / armor answer
AP rounds
Use armor-piercing ammunition when protected vehicle surfaces or pilot shots make standard rounds unreliable.

- The community source specifically calls out Humvee windows and helicopter pilots.
- Caliber and unlock information is tracked separately once verified.
