Best WARDOGS Weapons for Your Budget and Unlocks

Assault-rifle comparison at 100 meters

This is a controlled comparison, not an overall tier list: no armor, upper-torso hits, every projectile on target, and the lowest modeled impact time among each rifle's compatible rounds. Only explicitly shop-listed assault-rifle records are included. Equal ammunition results and rifles tied at the table cutoff are retained.

Target health is 100 in the existing model. Ammunition availability, ammunition spending, recoil control, misses, burst pauses and reloads are not ranked here. Check the named round and your unlocks before treating a numerical result as a purchase recommendation.

Other weapon classes: controlled scenarios

Each row shows the lowest modeled impact time within its own listed weapon class at the stated example distance, against the same unarmored upper-torso target. The calculation uses that weapon's fastest explicitly compatible round and retains equal results. The listed count shows the size of each class; a class with one record has no within-class competition.

Open a class-and-distance link to reproduce its comparison in the calculator. These distances illustrate different equipment jobs, not an overall ranking between classes or a guarantee of hit probability. Misses, recoil, armor, reloads, burst pauses, ammunition cost and availability are outside the model. Shotguns are omitted because pellet coverage changes the result; launchers and bows serve different target roles.

Assault rifles: direct comparisons

These selections use Early Access assault-rifle records explicitly marked as listed in the catalogue shop data. Tied records are all shown. Each row answers one stated question rather than combining unrelated attributes into a hidden score.

A missing unlock requirement remains unknown. Check the live shop and your character before treating an item as available; listed price is the bare weapon, not the complete kit.

What about the zero-price rifles?

A-91, Bushmaster M17S, KH-2002 have an explicit zero shop price in these records. They are excluded only from the positive-price comparison, not hidden from the equipment list.

A zero recorded price does not establish that a fresh character can buy the item or that its magazine, ammunition and equipment are free. Confirm current availability in game.

Which weapon should you choose?

Begin with three constraints: your available unlocks, the cost of the complete kit and the target conditions. A rifle you cannot unlock is not a starter recommendation; a rifle-only price is not your total spend.

Compare weapons within the same job before treating a faster cyclic rate as an upgrade. Use the sortable catalogue for the full roster, prices and specifications; the comparisons here answer narrower purchase questions.

Compare the same target conditions

1. Open a candidate weapon in the damage calculator and choose a compatible ammunition type.
2. Specify the hit location, armor and distance rather than comparing two unrelated default results.
3. Repeat with the alternative weapon under the same conditions. Check shots required as well as modeled time.
4. Return to the weapon page to examine recoil and configured attachment effects, then price the complete kit.

A worked starting point: AK74 versus M4

The dedicated comparison separates shop prices from unlock fees, shows the same base fields side by side and links directly to each rifle's damage calculator.

Use that process for another pair instead of copying an unexplained letter grade. No universal winner is established by the base weapon table alone.

Compare your actual target conditions

The weapon comparison keeps distance, hit location, armor profile and pellet assumptions identical across every result. Select one weapon to compare its compatible rounds, or a second weapon for a side-by-side choice. A weapon-price filter narrows purchases without treating unknown prices as free.

Firing interval and projectile travel are reported separately. For armored targets, compare initial hit damage only: the model does not include armor durability and therefore withholds armored shots-to-kill and TTK. These are modeled values, not match-test results.
