WARDOGS guides, tools & creator builds
A curated shortlist: the sites that are worth your time, the best guides by topic from named creators, and weapon builds exactly as their creators listed them. Everything is linked to its source and dated, because WARDOGS patches weekly in Early Access.
Weapon builds from creators
12 builds across 8 weapons from 9 creators, each with the attachments the creator named in the video description or on screen (timestamp linked). 7 of 12 run a suppressor, including all 4 M4 builds.

Still current? None of the official updates so far (Season 1 changelog 2026-09-09, hotfix 09-10, patch 0.11 09-12, patch 0.1.2 09-30) changed weapon or attachment stats (a few prices moved, like the 6–10x scopes), so these all apply to Season 01. Season 02 starts 2026-10-15 and Bulkhead promises balance reworks, so re-check any build after that date against the patch notes. Builds whose attachment names only appeared in garbled auto-captions are left out.

Sites worth using
Official
- Steam news hub — Every official patch note. The only authoritative source for balance and price changes.
- Update 0.1.2 notes — 2026-09-30: exploit fixes, the new DEPLOY server flow, and the warning that cash/XP exploiters and real-money traders get reset and risk a permanent ban.
- "Early Access & Beyond" — Bulkhead's Early Access plan (2026-04-07). A direction, not a dated roadmap.
- Season 02 teaser — Season 02 starts 2026-10-15. Bulkhead's 0.1.2 notes promise new map conditions, equipment and balance reworks.
- Official Discord — The server linked from the Steam page. (discord.gg/wardogs is a different, unofficial LFG server.)
- wardogs.com — Bulkhead's site: the mode in one page, trailers. Thin on detail.
Tools & data
- MetaBot.GG database — Weapons, attachments and unlocks read from the in-game menus at patch 0.11, with firing-range damage measurements and a stated method.
- MetaForge — Database (weapons, attachments, ammo, armour, vendor prices), ballistics charts and interactive maps.
- Clutchbase maps — 3D maps with live shared squad drawing, plus mortar/artillery and line-of-sight calculators.
- PCGamingWiki — PC tech facts: config and save paths, input and video support, system requirements.
- Dexerto WARDOGS wiki — Weapons, gear, vehicles and keybinds in one place. Its tier letters are editorial opinion, not data.
- mouse-sensitivity.com — Hipfire sensitivity conversion against 1,700+ games (ADS conversion is a paid feature).
Community
- r/WarDogs — The main subreddit, incl. the two HOTAS megathreads.
What to avoid
Don't buy cash, boosting or accounts. Bulkhead's 0.1.2 notes say players caught using cash/XP exploits or real-money trading have had their cash and progression reset and now risk a permanent ban without warning. A lot of the "WARDOGS money guide" results in search are written to sell exactly that.
Don't download "trainers", overlays or aim tools from random repos. Freshly made repos promising WARDOGS cheats are a common malware lure, and anything that touches the game client risks a ban.
Check the date on any stats page. Several fan wikis still show pre-launch or Alpha values. If a site doesn't say what patch its numbers are from, prefer one that does (MetaBot states it read its data at patch 0.11).
