Noted that additional objective variations are planned after early access
11WARDOGS is built around a single game mode rather than a menu of playlists. In every match, three teams compete to control one objective area, in a contest that works like a large-scale game of king of the hill.223-A randomised control zone, two kilometres on each side, appears somewhere inside a single battlefield of 256 square kilometres. The team with the most players inside the zone steadily scores points, and the first team to reach 100 points wins the match. Because the zone’s location changes from match to match, no two games play out on exactly the same ground.3+A randomised control zone, two kilometres on each side, appears somewhere inside a single battlefield of 256 square kilometres. The team with the most players inside the zone steadily scores points, and the first team to reach 100 points wins the match. Because the zone’s location changes from match to match, no two games play out on exactly the same ground. The single objective is the early access starting point rather than the finished plan: the developers list additional objective variations among the things they intend to add once early access is under way.4455The Hot Zone667788Within the larger zone sits a shifting Hot Zone, a smaller sub-area that raises the stakes. Players inside it count double toward their team’s presence in the zone, so contesting it can tip the score, and it also pays out double cash through the cash economy. The Hot Zone moves over the course of a match, pulling fights toward new ground.991010Not a Battle Royale or Extraction Shooter11111212The developers are explicit that this is neither a battle royale nor an extraction shooter. There is no shrinking play area and no loot-extraction loop. The entire match revolves around taking and holding the zone, supported by the cash economy and the players’ own tactics.
