41 Wardogs tips the FPS game doesn’t teach you
Polygon has published a comprehensive beginner’s guide for Wardogs, a newly released FPS title currently dominating Steam Early Access. The guide, titled “41 Wardogs Tips the FPS Game Doesn’t Teach You,” highlights the game’s distinctive approach to shooter gameplay that accommodates multiple playstyles and roles.
According to the article, Wardogs distinguishes itself by allowing players to contribute meaningfully to their team’s success through non-combat roles. Players can earn substantial profits and help their team win without ever firing a single bullet, suggesting a support-focused gameplay approach unusual for traditional shooters.
The guide provides specific gameplay tips to help new players navigate the game’s mechanics. One key recommendation involves ammunition purchasing strategy: rather than buying multiple magazines from the spawn vendor, players should purchase a couple of magazines and then opt for loose ammunition instead. This approach is more economical and space-efficient, as loose ammo has higher stack limits and lower costs, allowing players to refill empty magazines as needed during gameplay.
Another useful mechanic highlighted is the ammunition management system. Players can use the C key while in their inventory to reload all magazines simultaneously, streamlining the ammunition management process rather than reloading magazines individually.
The breadth of the 41-tip guide suggests Wardogs features complex systems and multiple viable strategies that the base game may not adequately explain to newcomers. By emphasizing both combat and non-combat paths to success, Wardogs appears positioned as an accessible entry point for new FPS players while offering depth for experienced ones.
