The official graphic rounds ten totals
These are the labels and values printed in the studio’s graphic. M, B and T are retained exactly as published. The later publisher release adds a clock range, but neither source supplies player or match counts, so none of these totals can be divided into a per-player or per-match rate.
| Metric | Official launch-weekend total |
|---|---|
| Total cash earned | $1.3T |
| Total cash spent | $562B |
| Total kills | 123M |
| Total revives | 61M |
| Total headshot kills | 33M |
| Total heals | 28M |
| Spotted target kills | 65M |
| Tower caps | 5M |
| Total tips | 112M |
| Total dropoffs | 52M |
The publisher release adds a clock range and precise telemetry
BULKHEAD and Team17’s release says the dataset runs from 17:00 on 10 September to 05:00 on 14 September, but does not name the timezone. Its metric labels are not always the graphic’s labels: 86.1M headshots is not silently substituted for 33M headshot kills, and 212.8M spots is not substituted for 65M spotted-target kills.
| Metric in the publisher release | Reported total |
|---|---|
| Total cash earned | $1.28T |
| Total cash spent | $561.9B |
| Kills | 122.2M |
| Headshots | 86.1M |
| Revives | 60.7M |
| Heals | 27.7M |
| Tower caps | 4.6M |
| Drop-offs | 51.1M |
| Spots | 212.8M |
| Tips | 111.8M |
| XP earned | 188.9B |
Earned XP was spread across all six roles
The graphic says WARDOGS awards role XP based on item usage, not fixed classes. The press release gives two-decimal shares and calls its 20.54% role Assault; the graphic calls the rounded 20% role Infantry. That naming difference is preserved here. Support has the largest reported share and Pilot the smallest, but the distribution does not establish any role’s per-action XP rate or popularity.
| Role label | Share of earned role XP |
|---|---|
| Support | 21.42% |
| Assault in release / Infantry in graphic | 20.54% / 20% |
| Medic | 19.97% |
| Recon | 18.66% |
| Driver | 10.57% |
| Pilot | 8.70% |
What the snapshot does not measure
The sources supply aggregate event totals, not a live dashboard. The publisher release gives a start and end clock time without a timezone, and neither source gives a player count, match count, average, median, per-action cash or XP reward, regional split or later-current value. A total of 60.7M revives therefore does not reveal how much one revive pays or how often one player revived another.
Why the categories matter
The studio chose to publish support and objective actions beside kills: revives, heals, spotted-target kills, tower captures, tips and dropoffs. That corroborates its broader description of a reward system built around teamplay, while still leaving the value of any one action unpublished.
This table is not a levelling guide
The six-role split gets quoted as a ranking of which role levels fastest, and it is not one. It measures what players collectively did over one weekend — a role's share can be large because more people played it, or because its equipment is cheaper to keep using, not because it pays more per action. No per-action XP rate is published anywhere in either source. The role page sets out what the mechanism actually is and which unlock levels are on record.
Common questions
Are these live WARDOGS counters?
No. They are aggregate totals in an official graphic labelled “Stats from Early Access launch weekend”, published on 15 September 2026.
Which role earned the most XP during the launch weekend?
Support, at 21.42% in the publisher release and 21% in the graphic. Neither source says Support has the highest per-action XP rate or the most players.
Does $1.28T earned reveal the best way to make cash?
No. The release gives an aggregate total and clock range without per-action payouts, match count, player count or a stated timezone.
How many tower captures and dropoffs were recorded?
The publisher release reports 4.6M tower caps and 51.1M drop-offs; the official graphic rounds them to 5M and 52M.
Sources & verification
BULKHEAD’s complete Steam announcement and attached 3840×2160 graphic were read in full on 15 September. A publisher press release was read on 16 September and adds a 17:00 10 September–05:00 14 September clock range plus more precise telemetry, but does not identify the timezone.

| BULKHEAD · 2 Million Copies Sold and Early Access launch-weekend stats, 15 September 2026Published on Steam at 21:44:58 UTC after the same graphic appeared on @WARDOGS at 15:00:01 UTC. The attached official graphic reports rounded aggregate cash, combat, support and objective totals and the earned-XP split across six roles. A separate BULKHEAD and Team17 press release supplies a clock range and more precise values. | Publisher stated | 2026-09-15 |
| BULKHEAD / Team17 · launch-weekend press release, republished by DLH.NET, 15 September 2026The verbatim publisher release says its telemetry covers 17:00 on 10 September through 05:00 on 14 September, without naming a timezone. It gives more precise cash, activity and role-XP figures than the official graphic. It calls the 20.54% role Assault while the graphic calls the rounded 20% role Infantry, so both labels are preserved rather than silently normalised. The release separately attributes the 428,666 all-time concurrency peak to SteamDB. | Publisher stated | 2026-09-16 |
