All 67 WARDOGS Gear and Equipment Items by Category

Armor, tools, throwables, deployables and storage gear solve different problems in WARDOGS. What you can carry depends on equipment slots as well as inventory space, so a useful tool still needs somewhere to go.

Buying Gear and Unlocking It Are Separate Costs

Paying an unlock fee gives you access to an item. You still pay the vendor to buy it. At Medic 14, the Medical Bag has a one-time $50,000 unlock cost and a separate $1,800 purchase price, both Season 02 amounts.

Gear can be available from the start and still cost money. Binoculars have no role or level gate, but their Season 02 vendor price is $180. The Emergency Resuscitator and Pouch are free.

Unlocks follow the shared WARDOG track or a role track. The role that opens an item can differ from the XP it earns: the Remote Detonator unlocks at Assault 4 but earns Support XP, while the Claymore unlocks at Recon 23 and also earns Support XP. Large Crate access is Driver 17, even though its XP goes to Support.

What Higher Armor Levels Change in WARDOGS

Level 1 and Level 2 Armor cover the upper and lower torso. Their helmets cover the head. Level 3 keeps that torso coverage, while its helmet extends protection to the neck.

Level 3 Armor and Level 3 Helmet unlock at WARDOG 70 and each reduce damage by 50% in the areas they cover. The Season 02 purchase prices are $2,500 for the armor and $2,000 for the helmet. Their separate community-recorded unlock costs are $100,000 and $75,000, respectively.

Level 4 moves to WARDOG 100 and 60% damage reduction. The armor adds upper-arm and pelvis coverage, but weighs 18 kg against Level 3 Armor's 10.5 kg. The helmet reduces suppression by 80%, compared with Level 3 Helmet's 68%, while muffling audio and proximity chat, narrowing your view and fogging while you sprint. More protection comes with a real cost to what you can hear and see.

Ghillie gear serves a different purpose. Pair the Ghillie Body Suit with Ghillie Headwear to hide from infrared range finders and remove the death cam after a kill. That pairing is a concealment choice rather than another step up the numbered armor tiers.

Healing, Reviving and Medical Equipment Slots

Bandages restore a small amount of health, while the Individual First Aid Kit heals you or a teammate to full health. They fit a Quick Slot. The Medical Bag instead occupies a Secondary or Specialist slot, heals over time and speeds up teammate revives; it has 150 durability.

The Emergency Resuscitator gives you an emergency revive once per life and is consumed when used. The Field Resuscitator revives teammates faster and is also single use, while the Defibrillator revives teammates instantly and spends battery charge. The choice is between a consumed revive item and a device whose remaining charge limits further shocks.

The Adrenaline Pen does a different job from healing gear. It briefly removes the tactical sprint limit and lowers your equipment weight class. It is single use, so its benefit is a temporary movement change.

Infrared Scouting and Battery Charge

Binoculars provide low magnification, the Monocular adds medium variable magnification, and the Range Finder adds high variable magnification with accurate distances. The Infrared Range Finder adds infrared viewing and needs battery power. Its Season 02 purchase price is $3,200, with a separate community-recorded $50,000 unlock cost at Recon 32. The regular Range Finder unlocks at Recon 8 for a Season 02 fee of $25,000.

The Infrared Range Finder uses 1.25 charges per second. A Battery holds 100 charges for about 80 seconds of active use; a High Capacity Battery holds 250 charges for about 200 seconds. Quickly toggling the device on and off drains the battery faster.

The Defibrillator spends 25 charges per shock, giving 4 shocks from a Battery or 10 from a High Capacity Battery. Light Drill and Heavy Drill each spend 1 charge per repair tick, even though Heavy Drill repairs faster. That gives 100 or 250 repair ticks from those battery types.

The Infrared Range Finder, Defibrillator, Light Drill and Heavy Drill come with a Battery. When you swap an empty battery, it is thrown away.

Hammers Repair Structures; Drills Repair Vehicles

Small Hammer builds small buildables slowly and repairs structures such as sandbag walls, hedgehogs, camo tents and barbed wire. Medium Hammer builds and repairs large and basic structures with moderate build speed. Large Hammer builds and repairs all structures and has the fastest build speed. These tools use Build Supplies.

For vehicles, the Wrench works slowly without a battery dependency. Light Drill offers moderate repair speed at Support 1 and weighs 1.5 kg. Heavy Drill unlocks at Support 28, repairs faster and weighs 6.9 kg, so the speed increase also means carrying a heavier tool.

Fuel Can handles refueling rather than repairs. Its capacity is limited, and you can refill it at refuel points.

Grenades and Mines Have Different Triggers

M67 Frag Grenade explodes after a short delay once thrown. Molotov Cocktail breaks on impact and leaves fire that rain weakens. Molotov access requires Assault 13; its Season 02 amounts are $25,000 to unlock and $340 to buy.

M18 signal grenades produce colored smoke columns and map markers. Their names match the message: Alert, Damaged Vehicle, Friendly, Hostile, Landing Zone or Supply Request. Black and White M18 Smoke Grenades instead release smoke clouds.

AT Mine triggers under vehicles rather than infantry and has 300 blast damage with a 7.5 m blast radius. Claymore uses motion detection, can trigger on infantry or vehicles, and has 150 blast damage with a 3 m radius. Their trigger rules matter as much as their damage when deciding what you want to catch.

The Improvised Explosive Device uses remote detonation and works once. Remote Detonator requires C4 charges to function, so carrying the trigger alone does not give you an explosive.

Backpacks Add Storage; Tac Vests Add Quick Access

A backpack's outside size is different from the space inside it. Assault Backpack occupies a 3×5 footprint but holds 21 slots split into 1×3, 3×5 and 1×3 compartments. Operator Backpack has the same footprint with a single 3×5 compartment holding 15 slots. The extra capacity in Assault Backpack is divided into narrow side compartments, so it is not one larger open grid.

Ruck Backpack holds 24 slots in a 4×6 compartment. Gunner Backpack + Sling keeps that capacity and adds a sling slot; Arsenal Backpack + 2 Slings also keeps 24 slots but adds another sling slot. Their WARDOG requirements rise from 55 for Ruck to 73 for Gunner and 150 for Arsenal. The later unlocks add equipment-carrying options rather than more internal storage.

Tac vests improve quick access, reload speed and utility handling without adding item storage. Small Tac Vest opens quick slots 5 and 6 with minor handling benefits. Medium Tac Vest opens slots 5 through 8 with moderate benefits, while Large Tac Vest opens all six quick slots and gives stronger benefits. A vest upgrade and a backpack upgrade solve different space problems.

Crates and Supply Pallets for FOB Resupply

Small Crate and Small Armored Crate hold 24 slots, while the large versions hold 35. Each lets its owner sell the contents to others. Armor adds resistance to bullets and explosions; it does not increase the matching crate's storage capacity.

A hard impact after about 60 m of free fall can destroy an unarmored crate. The armored versions can be destroyed after about 80 m. Those are approximate impact limits, so armor is not a guarantee that dropped cargo survives.

Ammo, Build, Fuel and Mechanical Supply Pallets each hold 36 slots in a 6×6 compartment, separate from their 4×2 physical footprint. Each starts with 1,800 supplies of its resource type. A hard impact after about 90 m of free fall can destroy a pallet.

The deployable Forward Operating Base stores items and resources, sets the nearby building radius and enables larger structures. It provides the base for that work; the hammer and Build Supplies handle construction.
