Every weapon, round, attachment and vehicle in WARDOGS — with what it actually costs. WARDOGS is a game about money. You start every life with $10,000 and buy your loadout from scratch, so the question is never just "what's the best gun", it's "what can I afford, and what do I give up to have it". WARDOGS Companion is built around that question. THE FULL VENDOR DATABASE 535 items across 13 categories — 40 weapons, 182 attachments, 146 rounds, 23 vehicles and the rest of the gear. Every one with its real vendor price. COST PER ROUND Ammunition is sold in boxes, so the sticker price hides what a magazine really costs. We do the division for you, on every load. SORT BY WHAT MATTERS Price, damage per dollar, or cost per round — not just A to Z. COMPATIBILITY THAT IS ACTUALLY CORRECT Every weapon lists the rounds it chambers and the attachments that fit it. Every round lists the weapons that take it. THE KAVKAZI MAP All 60 control zones drawn as their real capture areas, straight from the game's own level data — plus vendors, spawns, safe zones and vehicle deployment points. Only five of the eleven towers can actually be captured, and the map tells you which. COUNTDOWNS To the closed beta and to Early Access, with a reminder you can set on your device. WORKS OFFLINE The whole database caches on your phone after the first load, so it is there in a queue or on bad hotel wifi. Unofficial and fan-made. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with BULKHEAD Interactive or Team17. "WARDOGS" and all related names, marks and assets belong to their respective owners.
