The Cash Economy

The cash economy is the signature system of WARDOGS and the reason its makers say cash is king. Every player begins a match with a starting balance of in-match funds, and each time they spawn they spend it to buy a custom loadout from a shared pool of weapons, gear, utility, and vehicles.
Cash is earned by playing for the team. Reviving allies, transporting teammates, and holding the control zone all pay out, so the players who contribute most can afford the strongest equipment. This ties the shooter's moment-to-moment action directly to its objective.
Rather than locking players into fixed classes, the buy system lets everyone assemble whatever role they can afford on each life. Cash also persists as a longer-term measure of progress, rewarding sustained good play across a match.
