## Key points

- Wardogs blends Battlefield accessibility with Arma-style scale and logistics.
- Its economy rewards teamwork but may encourage cautious play.
- Early access begins on 10 September.

## Summary

PC Gamer reports that Wardogs, Bulkhead’s forthcoming 100-player military shooter, made a strong impression during a closed playtest. The game aims to sit between the realism of Arma-style milsims and the accessibility of Battlefield, combining large-scale territorial combat with logistics and a persistent in-game economy; its success could broaden the appeal of more tactical multiplayer FPS games.

Players earn money for combat, capturing objectives, healing and transport, then risk it on equipment, while also being able to tip or bribe others for assistance. The article notes concerns that the economy may encourage overly cautious play and that flexible, equipment-based roles can leave teams without essential specialists. Wardogs is due to enter two years of early access on 10 September, with pre-orders priced at $40; Bulkhead says there will be no early-access monetisation and that skins will be earned rather than sold, except through a supporter pack.
