Official Event Link

WARDOGS places up to 100 players into a large-scale militaristic sandbox where three competing factions fight for dominance over randomized objective zones. Matches combine infantry combat with mechanized warfare involving tanks and other ground vehicles, alongside destructible environments, field fortification building, and real-time logistics management. Players earn persistent Cash and Experience (XP) across matches to drive loadout customization, while in-game communication relies on tactical proximity voice chat.
