WARDOGS Weapons Guide: Factions, Arsenal & What We Know
What we know about WARDOGS weapons: Valkyra and Lonestar arsenal, the in-match cash purchase system, and why official damage numbers are not yet published.
WARDOGS weapons are bought in-match with cash and grouped under two factions: Valkyra (tactical, high-rate-of-fire platforms) and Lonestar (heavy-caliber stopping power). As of September 10 Early Access launch, BULKHEAD has not published any official weapon stats — no damage values, fire rates, or in-match prices are confirmed. This page lists the officially named weapons and explains the purchase system; tier ratings cannot be published without official data.
The 100-player battlefield in WARDOGS demands a thorough understanding of ballistic performance and economic efficiency — but only what the developers have actually published. This guide separates officially confirmed information from the many unverified stat tables circulating online.
Important: As of the September 10, 2026 Early Access launch, BULKHEAD has not published official weapon statistics — no damage per shot, no cyclic fire rates, no effective ranges, and no in-match weapon prices. The Steam store page describes the purchase economy but gives no numeric values. This page therefore covers the officially named arsenal and the confirmed economy, and clearly marks what remains unpublished.

Officially Named Weapons
The weapon names below are the only ones confirmed by BULKHEAD so far. They appear in the official Supporter Edition announcement (which lists camos for specific platforms) and in official communications. They are listed without stats, because none have been published:
| Weapon | Manufacturer | Role (based on naming) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| A-91 | Valkyra | Assault rifle | Official Supporter Edition camo list |
| Bushmaster | Lonestar | Assault rifle | Official Supporter Edition camo list |
| KH-2002 | Manticore | Assault rifle | Official Supporter Edition camo list |
| Super-45 | Valkyra | SMG (per in-game naming) | Community reports; stat values unconfirmed |
Any damage, RPM, magazine, or price figure attached to these weapons on this or other sites is unverified and should be ignored until BULKHEAD publishes official data.
The Confirmed Purchase Economy
What the developers have confirmed on the official Steam page:
- Every player starts with $10,000.
- Each life, you purchase a custom loadout from a wide selection of weapons, gear, utility, and vehicles.
- Cash persists from match to match — spending decisions carry forward.
- Every teamplay action rewards cash: reviving squadmates, transporting friendlies to the zone, or controlling the objective.
That is the full extent of the officially published economy. Price lists claiming specific weapons cost $1,800, $2,200, or $2,600 are not backed by any official source. [UNCONFIRMED]
Why There Is No Tier List (Yet)
A tier list requires comparable, verifiable weapon performance data. Because BULKHEAD has not published damage values, fire rates, or handling characteristics, any tier ranking published before launch would be fabricated from nothing. When official stats are released (or the game is out long enough for community consensus to form), this page will be updated with sourced rankings.
Until then, the honest answer for loadout planning is: pick weapons by role preference (agile high-fire-rate vs. heavy-caliber stopping power) and spend within your squad’s budget discipline — the confirmed mechanic is the $10,000 starting pool, not any specific weapon price.
