10 beginner tips to not suck at Wardogs
Before you blow all of your cash, here's some advice.
Starting a game of Wardogs can be overwhelming for beginners, but fear not, as there are some essential tips to help you navigate this complex milsim FPS. First and foremost, never leave your spawn without essential gear. Make sure to bring two extra magazines, 3-5 bandages, a dot sight, and a class gadget such as binoculars, hammer, or RPG. Although these items may cost a few extra hundred dollars, they will pay off by allowing you to remain in combat for longer periods.
When purchasing ammunition, opt for loose ammo instead of individual magazines. Loose ammo can be purchased in stacks of 100, occupying only two inventory slots. This saves time and wallet space when your magazines run empty, as you can simply press 'C' in the inventory screen to replenish magazines from your stash of loose ammo.
Avoid driving to the zone from spawn, as it is a 3km journey that can take 4-5 minutes depending on the car. Instead, wait for a transport chopper, which is usually provided by volunteer helicopter pilots eager for the added income. Even if you must wait for a chopper for 30 seconds to a minute, it is still faster than driving. Additionally, if you have a preferred loadout, use the rebuy button to quickly restore it without purchasing items individually.
Remember that helicopter pilots will drop you off at the nearest friendly FOB by default, but it's not necessary to stay there if there's nothing productive to do. Leave the FOB and engage in activities like capturing the Hot Zone, disrupting enemy FOBs, capturing towers, or blowing up enemy vehicles. The FOB is a safe place to get your bearings, but it is not the place to stand idle.
Loot any dead bodies to replenish your gear, ammo, and bandages. Dead bodies will remain lootable for several minutes after a player gives up. Lastly, be cautious when calling for medical assistance, especially if you are surrounded by enemies. Enemies can hear your mic, so if you can see a teammate nearby, don't broadcast their location.
Utilize the team text channel instead for discreet communication. Lastly, never underestimate the power of binoculars. Cheap and easy to obtain, binoculars allow you to spot enemy players and reveal their positions to the whole team, earning you valuable XP, money, and assist cash when targets are killed.
