WARDOGS best guns: what is actually known

Every WARDOGS gun by class with its calibre, beta price and unlock level, the four Season 02 weapons, and why nobody can honestly rank them yet.

Official WARDOGS artwork accompanying WARDOGS best guns: what is actually knownGAME IMAGERY · BULKHEAD / TEAM17

THE QUICK ANSWER

Nobody can honestly name the best gun yet: BULKHEAD publishes no weapon stats and no tier list. What is on record is 34 weapons in nine classes with their calibres and Early Access Beta prices — the AMR 50 was the dearest at $8,800 and the Bushmaster M17S was free — a handful of unlock levels, and four new weapons BULKHEAD named for Season 02.

Why there is no tier list on this page

Unverified

A tier list ranks guns by how fast they kill, and that cannot be worked out honestly yet. Time-to-kill needs a player’s health and the rule for how armour cuts damage, and BULKHEAD has published neither. Recoil, which decides how many shots actually land, is not published at all. A list built anyway would be the author’s assumptions dressed as stats. So this page sticks to what is on record: what each gun is, what it cost, when it unlocks, and what is coming.

Why there are no damage or fire-rate figures here

BULKHEAD has published no damage, fire-rate, range or handling figures for any weapon. The numbers that circulate come from fan sites that extract them from the game files; they name no build, they disagree with each other, and the sites that publish them compete with this one. Until a figure can be checked — from the publisher, or from a measurement with a named build — this site leaves it out rather than reprint someone else’s table.

What the beta prices say, class by class

Observed in a build

These are the Early Access Beta vendor prices AllThings.How recorded on 24 August 2026, before launch. The Season 1 patch notes changed several prices at launch, and none of the changes they list is a weapon, but the roster is still a beta snapshot rather than a current price list.

  • Assault rifles: the Bushmaster M17S was free; the FAL was the dearest at $6,500, with the M4 at $2,800.
  • SMGs: from $900 for the AMP-9 to $2,600 for the Super-45.
  • LMGs: $3,200 for the M249 SAW, $4,500 for the PKM.
  • Marksman rifles: $2,400 for the SKS, $4,800 for the SVD, $6,000 for the BMR-308.
  • Sniper rifles: from $1,100 for the Scout Rifle TD to $8,800 for the AMR 50, the dearest gun on the roster.
  • Pistols: all under $1,000, from $200 for the GGX 17 to $900 for the Deagle.
  • Launchers: $2,000 for the RPG-7, $2,600 for the MAAWS, $6,000 for the MGL-40.

When they unlock

Observed in a build

Only a few unlock levels have a source this site uses. One is official; the rest are AllThings.How’s beta records, from a condensed progression track that may not match Early Access.

  • Deagle: Career 85 at Season 1, changed from Career 90 (official, Season 1 patch notes).
  • Galil, M4 and FAL: Assault 10, 20 and 35 (beta vendor roster).
  • Mosin Nagant, SV98, MK22 and AMR 50: Recon 10, 19, 25 and 35, for $50,000, $100,000, $150,000 and $200,000 (beta sniper guide).

Four new guns in Season 02

Publisher stated

BULKHEAD’s Season 02 Preview of 9 October names four weapons arriving with the season on 15 October: the TCX Spear assault rifle, the M14 DMR, the PP-19 Bizon SMG and the Evo-3 Ultra LMG. It gives their classes and nothing else — no price, unlock, calibre or stats.

Common questions

What is the best gun in WARDOGS?

No published data can settle it: time-to-kill depends on player health and armour rules BULKHEAD has not released, and it publishes no weapon stats. What is on record is each gun's class, calibre and beta price. Rank them yourself on the tier list maker.

Is there a WARDOGS weapon tier list?

Not an official one. Fan tier lists exist, but none can rest on published time-to-kill. You can build your own and share it on this site's tier list maker.

Is there a stats page for WARDOGS weapons?

BULKHEAD publishes none. Fan sites print figures they extract from the game files; this site does not reprint them, because they name no build, disagree with each other and come from competing sites.

What is the most expensive gun in WARDOGS?

In the Early Access Beta vendor roster, the AMR 50 sniper rifle at $8,800, ahead of the FAL at $6,500. Those are beta prices recorded on 24 August 2026.

What new guns are in WARDOGS Season 02?

Four, per BULKHEAD's 9 October preview: the TCX Spear assault rifle, the M14 DMR, the PP-19 Bizon SMG and the Evo-3 Ultra LMG, from 15 October.
