Two numbers decide when each WARDOG track reward unlocks: the WARDOG level it needs and its one-time cash fee. Until you have both, it stays locked.

How WARDOG Level Adds Up Across Roles
WARDOG level is the total of your Assault, Medic, Recon, Support, Driver and Pilot levels. Leveling any one role moves it up, and levels you earned in earlier seasons still count. WARDOG level has no XP of its own, so there's no separate XP to chase.
Each role keeps its own reward track. The role unlocks page covers what each role opens.
One-Time Unlock Fees Versus Vendor Prices
The fee is a one-time cash payment on this track, and it's separate from the vendor price you pay for an item in each life. The Ruck Backpack opens at level 55 for $100,000, while buying one for a single life costs a fraction of that.
Saving ahead is fine. Cash just can't open a reward before you reach its level.
Some of these fees are printed in the Season 02 patch notes, and the rest are player-recorded. If your game shows a different number, trust the game.
Early WARDOG Unlocks From Level 1 to 20
The Judge revolver opens first, at level 1 for $5,000, and it's the cheapest weapon on the track. The Mechanical, Ammo and Fuel supply pallets follow at levels 5, 9 and 16, for $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000.
The Medium Tac Vest is the cheapest gear on the track. It opens at level 14 for $10,000. The gear page covers each vest and backpack in more detail, and the weapons page lists each weapon's caliber, weight and role.
Mid-Track WARDOG Unlocks From Level 21 to 50
Lonestar is a Season 02 faction, a private military company. The Blue (Da Ba Dee) music tape opens at level 29 for $25,000, and only Lonestar players can unlock it.
The Gold Market opens at level 35 for $150,000, the priciest unlock below level 55. That fee only gets you into the market, which sells weapon and vehicle camos for gold bars. It doesn't buy a camo or any gold.
The M1911 opens at level 40 for $25,000. The High Capacity Battery at level 46 costs $50,000, and the Large Tac Vest at level 50 costs $25,000.
Late WARDOG Unlocks From Level 51 to 150
Weapon fees climb with level. Deagle opens at level 65 for $75,000, and GGX 18 opens at level 85 for $125,000, the priciest weapon on the track.
Backpacks keep climbing after the Ruck Backpack. The Gunner Backpack + Sling opens at level 73 for $125,000, and the Arsenal Backpack + 2 Slings is the highest-level gear, opening at level 150 for $175,000.
Armor and Ammo Costs by Tier
Armor comes in tiers, and each tier has a helmet at the same level. The helmet costs three-quarters of its armor every time, so it's the cheaper piece to open first when cash is tight.
| Armor tier | WARDOG level | Armor fee | Helmet fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 3 | $10,000 | $7,500 |
| Level 2 | 30 | $50,000 | $37,500 |
| Level 3 | 70 | $100,000 | $75,000 |
| Level 4 | 100 | $200,000 | $150,000 |
Ammo splits into HP rounds, the flesh-damage ones, and AP rounds, the armor-piercing ones. Every HP round costs $5,000, from the 5.45mm at level 6 to the 50AE at level 95, and the 12g Rifled Slug at level 36 is $5,000 too. AP rounds start at $50,000 for the 7.62mm at level 60, and every AP round from level 75 up costs $75,000.
What Season 02 Changed on the WARDOG Track
If you learned the track before Season 02, these moves matter:
- Judge and GGX 17 swapped levels and fees. Judge went from level 18 and $15,000 to level 1 and $5,000, and GGX 17 went the other way.
- Deagle moved from level 85 to level 65.
- GGX 18 moved from level 70 to level 85, and its unlock fee rose from $50,000 to $125,000.
- Level 3 armor and its helmet moved from level 60 to level 70.
- The Mechanical, Ammo and Fuel supply pallets used to be default unlocks. Now they're track rewards.
- Season 02 added the Blue (Da Ba Dee) music tape and the Gold Market to the track.
