What is WARDOGS?

A three-team, large-scale tactical FPS

Team17 describes WARDOGS gameplay as all-out tactical warfare for up to 100 players split across three competing teams. The official overview combines infantry combat with vehicles, logistics, construction, destruction, local voice chat, and a persistent cash economy.

Control Zone places the objective inside a randomized 2×2 km area of the wider stated map. This site explains those official mechanics while keeping tactics, map routes, weapon values, performance claims, and best-loadout advice unconfirmed until versioned evidence exists.
