Open briefingWhat is WARDOGS?
WARDOGS is BULKHEAD’s tactical all-out-warfare FPS, published by Team17. Up to 100 players split across three teams and fight for a randomized Control Zone.
Teamplay earns persistent cash. Players spend it on weapons, equipment and vehicles to build a role for each life, while construction, destruction and proximity voice chat shape the battlefield.
