How WARDOGS weapon unlocks and purchases work
An Unlock cost is a one-time fee. The vendor price is what you pay for the weapon each life, so unlocking a gun doesn't give you free replacements. A low vendor price can still sit behind a large fee.
Gated weapons also need a level in their named progression track. Assault, Medic, Recon and Support unlock different weapons; pistols use the shared WARDOG track. Having enough cash doesn't skip the level requirement.
AK74 or T-21 when you're saving cash
The AK74 is open from the start. Season 02 moved the T-21 behind Assault level 3, so it now needs an unlock before you can buy it. For a tight weapon budget, staying with the AK74 avoids that extra upfront payment.
These totals cover the unlock fee and ten weapon purchases:
| Weapon | Unlock cost | Per-life vendor price | Total for ten purchases |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK74 | No unlock fee | $800 (Season 02) | $8,000 |
| T-21 | $10,000 (Season 02) | $1,200 (Season 02) | $22,000 |
That's $14,000 more spent on the T-21 over the same number of purchases. If your goal is to save cash, reaching its unlock level isn't a reason to buy it immediately.
TCX-SPR and M4: upfront cost versus repeat spending
The TCX-SPR opens at Assault level 20 with a $100,000 Unlock cost (Season 02) and a $3,200 vendor price (Season 02). The M4 needs Assault level 28 and a $150,000 Unlock cost (Season 02), but each purchase costs $2,800 (community-recorded).
The M4 saves $400 per purchase after you pay $50,000 more to unlock it. You'd need 125 purchases for those savings to cover the fee difference. The TCX-SPR is easier to fund upfront; the M4's lower repeat price takes a long time to make up that gap.
MP5 and Vityaz spending on the Medic track
The MP5 arrives at Medic level 4 with a $25,000 Unlock cost (Season 02) and a $1,800 vendor price (Season 02). The PP-19 Vityaz waits until Medic level 15 and costs $50,000 to unlock (Season 02), then $1,200 per purchase (community-recorded).
The Vityaz saves $600 each time you buy it, but its extra unlock fee takes 42 purchases to recover compared with buying the MP5 the same number of times. If you're saving through the early Medic levels, the open PP-19 Bizon costs $1,000 per life (Season 02) and needs no unlock fee.
Recon's expensive unlocks need a replacement budget
The open Scout Rifle TD costs $1,200 per life (Season 02), so you can buy a sniper rifle without first paying a Recon unlock fee. Marksman rifles start with the SKS at Recon level 5, a $25,000 Unlock cost (community-recorded) and a $2,400 vendor price (community-recorded).
At the expensive end, the AMR 50 needs Recon level 35 and a $200,000 Unlock cost (community-recorded). Its $14,800 vendor price (Season 02) brings the unlock plus ten purchases to $348,000. Don't empty your cash balance on the unlock if you want to keep buying it afterward.
Support weapons can reverse the usual price trade-off
The RPG-7 opens at Support level 6 with a $30,000 Unlock cost (community-recorded) and a $1,800 vendor price (Season 02). It gives you an earlier launcher unlock than the MAAWS, which needs Support level 18, a $100,000 Unlock cost (Season 02) and $2,400 per purchase (Season 02).
For light machine guns, the PKM opens at Support level 15 for $100,000 (Season 02), then costs $4,100 per life (Season 02). The M249 SAW needs Support level 20 and $150,000 to unlock (Season 02), but costs $3,200 per life (community-recorded). Its $900 saving per purchase covers the extra unlock fee after 56 purchases. Waiting for a later unlock can lower repeat spending, but it doesn't lower the cash you need to get started.

FAQ
Which weapons were added in WARDOGS Season 02?
Season 02 added the TCX-SPR assault rifle, PP-19 Bizon SMG, Evo-3 Ultra light machine gun and M14 marksman rifle.
Are mounted weapons part of the WARDOGS vendor weapon roster?
No. Vehicle-mounted and emplacement weapons are separate from the vendor weapons you buy for your character. Attachments and ammunition are also outside this weapon roster.
Which pistol can I unlock earliest in WARDOGS?
The Judge unlocks at WARDOG level 1 for $5,000 (Season 02), with a $250 vendor price (community-recorded). The GGX 17 comes later, at WARDOG level 18, despite its lower $200 vendor price (community-recorded).
