Last checked: 16 September 2026 · early access Season 1 build. Early-access numbers change between patches; the in-game vendor is the final word.
Why a price list belongs on a reference site
WARDOGS keeps your cash between matches, but every life you buy a fresh kit. That means the vendor screen is the single most important economy screen in the game, and the numbers on it are exactly the kind of figure that drifts between patches. This page exists to give you a stable snapshot you can check against your own screen.
Every figure below is transcribed from BULKHEAD’s Season 1 changelog dated 9 September 2026. That changelog is a single source, so treat each price as patch-dependent. If your in-game vendor disagrees with this table, the vendor wins.
The complete Season 1 price table
| Item | Price | Notes from the changelog |
|---|---|---|
| Bushmaster M17S rifle | Free | The starter rifle everyone begins with |
| T-21 rifle | $600 | Cheap first upgrade |
| GGX17 pistol | $5,000 | Widely regarded as not worth buying first |
| Binoculars | ~$75 | Scout staple, near-free |
| Large Hammer | $2,400 | Required for mortar and for building |
| Forward Operating Base (FOB) | $7,500 | Was $2,500 before Season 1 |
| Dune Buggy | $25,000 | Unlocks at Driving 8 |
| Z20 Lakota | $35,000 | |
| URAL | $35,000 | Unlocks at Driving 3 |
| Kodiak Flatbed | $35,000 | Unlocks at Driving 10 |
| Little Bird (with cannon) | $50,000 | |
| 6–10x MRAD scope | $40,000 | High-magnification optic |
| 6–10x MOA scope | $45,000 | High-magnification optic |
| Artillery Tank | $500,000 | Also requires career level 90 |
Two items are price-adjacent rather than a flat tag: the mortar needs a Large Hammer plus FOB supplies, and each three-round volley consumes 90 Ammo Supplies. The brief does not give a cash price for Ammo Supplies, so we do not invent one.
The rent-before-buy traps
A few entries look like bargains until you read the unlock gate behind them:
- The Artillery Tank ($500,000) is a sticker-shock item, but the real wall is career level 90. You can save the cash and still never buy it until the XP track opens. Budget the grind, not just the dollars.
- The FOB ($7,500) tripled from its pre-Season-1 price of $2,500. Anyone quoting the old number is wrong; the changelog is explicit about the jump.
- The GGX17 pistol ($5,000) sits in a strange spot — expensive enough to sting, widely assessed as not worth buying first. If you are deciding what to skip, this is the first candidate.
- The scopes ($40,000 and $45,000) are the priciest non-vehicle gear. They are also the easiest thing to leave un-bought while you build a vehicle fund.
- Vehicles at $35,000 (Z20 Lakota, URAL, Kodiak Flatbed) cluster at the same price point, which makes them the natural first “big purchase” tier once you have a driving unlock.
How to verify these against your own screen
Open the vendor in-game and compare the top row against this table. If a number differs, note the patch you are on and trust the vendor. The loadout budget planner uses the same table, so a discrepancy there means the same single source has since moved.
The discount you may be missing
Players below level 9 receive a store discount. The brief grades this as a single source, so we state it that way: community and changelog coverage puts a sub-level-9 discount in the shop. If you are new, buy the gear you actually need before you cross level 9, because the discount window closes with the level.
What we deliberately do not list
No weapon damage values, no recoil comparisons, no “best gun” ranking. Those figures are not in the verified brief and they shift with balance patches, so publishing them would be guessing. This page is a price ledger, not a weapon tier list. For the kit decisions that actually matter early, see the starter loadout page.
Patch pressure on the economy
The 12 September 2026 policy from BULKHEAD is blunt: deliberate cash-bug abuse and organised XP farming are punishable, with resets and bans on the table. None of the prices here depend on a bug. Earning cash through normal play — contracts, revives, transport, supply runs — is the only fair way to afford the $50,000 Little Bird, and the make money fast guide covers the verified payout rates for doing exactly that.
Reading the table like a squadmate
Start from your $10,000. The free Bushmaster plus ~$75 Binoculars keeps you in the fight for almost nothing. The T-21 at $600 is a modest step up. Everything past the FOB is a “save for two weeks” purchase, and the $35,000 vehicle tier is where most new players set their first real goal. Keep the Artillery Tank in the back of your mind as a level-90 trophy, not a week-one plan.
