Using this site
WARDOGS Field Manual is an independent reference site about one game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to BULKHEAD or Team17, and it is not an official support channel for the game.
Everything here is free to read, and the loadout budget planner runs without an account. You are responsible for checking that a figure fits your own situation before acting on it — in particular before spending in-game cash on something a page recommends.
What the figures mean, and what they do not
Every number on this site carries a confidence grade, and the grade is the limit of the guarantee. The about page defines all four grades in full; the short version is:
| Grade | What it guarantees | What it does not guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| 【A】 Confirmed | A developer statement or agreement between independent sources | That the figure survives the next patch |
| 【B】 Single source | That one traceable source said so, and which one | Independent confirmation |
| 【C】 Estimate | That the arithmetic is shown next to the number | That the game states the figure at all |
| 【Unconfirmed】 | Nothing. It marks a gap rather than filling it | — |
Figures are dated. Each page carries a build bar naming the patch it assumes and the date it was last checked, and a page whose snapshot has gone stale says so on the page itself. Prices and payouts in an early-access game change between patches, and the in-game vendor is the final word in every case.
The planner is a calculator, not an offer, a quote or a prediction. It sums prices from this site’s own reference table and divides them into your balance. It has no connection to the game, and it cannot see any account.
Using the account features
Reading this site needs no account. The “save this setup” control on the planner requires one.
Choose a unique username and a password of at least twelve characters, and keep both the password and the recovery key private. There is no email-based reset, so the recovery key is the only route back into an account whose password is lost, and the recovery key is replaced after it is used. Signing out ends that account’s sessions. Deleting an account also removes its saved setups.
Saved setups are limited in number per account. Do not store secrets, payment details or personal records in a project title or a tool input. Saved setups hold a title, the tool address and the selected inputs — not uploaded files. Keep your own copy of anything that matters to you.
Acceptable use
Do not use this site to submit unlawful content, disrupt other readers, bypass rate limits, or access an account that is not yours. Automated high-volume use is not supported. The site links out only to official channels and its own pages: there are no affiliate links, no currency sellers, no boosting services and no account trading anywhere on it, and that is a rule rather than a gap.
Content that this site deliberately does not publish
Cheat, hack, bot and exploit material is not published, no matter how much search traffic it would attract. Item, currency and account trading is not published. Neither is any figure that could not be traced, and neither is any subjective ranking presented as a measurement — the weapons page and the vehicle tier list both state their criteria and refuse the ones they cannot support.
Changes, and how to report a problem
Pages are edited in place when the game patches, and the build bar records the change. Material changes to what is collected are reflected in the privacy policy before they take effect. To report a defect or a wrong figure, use the contact page and include enough detail to reproduce it. No response time, uptime or accuracy guarantee is offered by this free site.
