Best WARDOGS Starter Weapons & Loadout

WARDOGS is now out in early access, and with cash a key mechanic of the game, spending wisely is not just advised; it’s crucial.

Weapons, equipment, armor, and anything else you need in a combat situation all come at a price in WARDOGS, with key decisions lying ahead on what you choose and when.

If you’re getting started in the game and want some tips on where to splash your cash, we’ve got you covered.

Best WARDOGS Starter Weapons

Finding the best weapon for you when starting out in WARDOGS isn’t necessarily easy, and while you’re still getting to grips with things, the three weapons available for free are decent enough.

The A-91, Bushmaster M17S, and KH-2002 Assault Rifles are all available for free, with 28 damage per round and a fire rate of 700 rounds per minute, so you can choose whichever you like out of the three while you work out what you want to move into.

In terms of the best weapon you can get, the T-21 is the solid choice. A price tag of $600 may seem expensive, especially when compared to the free weapons, but it boasts a low time-to-kill that should skew things in your favor when in a shootout.

Make sure to pair any of the four aforementioned weapons with a decent pistol to support, with the best choices being the Judge, M1911, GGX, and Deagle.

Steer clear of the SMGs and sniper rifles initially, as the low-budget ones aren’t as strong, and it’s better to save up for one of the superior options later down the line.

One gun isn’t going to carry you in every scenario, however, and won’t keep you protected either, so it’s important to balance the primary weapon you purchase with a secondary and armor.

As mentioned above, the T-21 is the best all-round weapon in the game, albeit with requiring a relatively significant chunk of change at $600, but it’s strong enough for you to more than make your money back.

In terms of secondary weapons, the GGX 18 is the best sidearm, great for close-quarters combat, and can be a lifesaver in many situations, especially when you need to reload your primary weapon but can’t afford to do so.

When splashing out, put that cash into Armor, with a Level 3 Body Armor costing $3,000. If that’s too much up front, you can drop lower, but it could save your life and, subsequently, a lot of cash.

You can cut back in the Head Armor, meanwhile, and pick-up the Level 1 Armor. Granted, it might not always save your life, but it’s not worth splashing out on higher tiers initially when you’re still getting to grips with the title.
