Cash persists between matches and funds each new loadout, utility choice or vehicle. Teamplay actions earn cash, so spending decisions affect more than one life.
Earn, spend or protect the balance
WARDOGS connects moment-to-moment choices to an account balance. Each life can begin with a custom purchase, while revives, transport and objective work can replenish cash.
- Opening balance: $10,000
