WARDOGS Vehicles, Prices and Crew Roles Guide
Choose a WARDOGS vehicle for the team task, use the official Season 1 price and unlock changes, assign seats and protect the squad’s investment.

Choose the asset for the task
Transport, supplies, infantry support and enemy armor require different assets. Name the task first and reject a vehicle whose noise, size or crew demand works against it.
Official images show combined-arms scale but do not establish a balance ranking. Use the live vehicle card for cost and capacity.

Account for the Season 1 vehicle changes
The official changelog changed both acquisition cost and progression placement. It also says vehicle turrets now have a maximum operator rotation speed, but does not publish the numeric cap.

| Little Bird with miniguns | $25,000 → $50,000 | Not stated |

Assign seats before moving
Agree who drives, observes, uses the weapon, navigates and handles repair or supplies. One player can hold several jobs, but each responsibility needs an owner.
Call seat changes and exits before they happen.

Rehearse controls and route
Check steering, throttle, camera, seats and exit in a safe area. Drive one short route with a turnaround point and covered dismount.
Cockpit visibility is narrower than the map view. Use a navigator when the driver cannot read the approach.

Set a return condition
Decide when damage, fuel, ammunition, missing crew or objective movement should end the mission. Returning early is cheaper than losing the asset and stranding the squad.
Recheck repair and resupply indicators after patches; beta values are not permanent.
