How WARDOGS levels and unlocks work
Role levels, Career level, unlock fees and buying equipment for a match are separate parts of progression.
Reaching the level is only one requirement
For an item with an unlock requirement, check three things: your level, whether you have paid the unlock fee, and whether you can afford to buy the equipment for the match. Reaching the level does not automatically buy the unlock or the item.
The progression planner shows the selected item’s unlock fee and purchase price separately. Tell it if you already own the unlock. It does not add every earlier entry in the progression table to your total.
Career level adds up your six roles
Community references list Assault, Medic, Recon, Support, Driver and Pilot as the six progression roles. The Career table describes your combined WARDOG level as the sum of those role levels.
An Assault unlock needs Assault levels. A Career unlock uses the combined total, so leveling other roles can help too. Check which role an action rewards in the current game; these details can change.
Check the item you want next
Choose a target in the planner and enter your current levels and cash. It shows the remaining levels and any cash shortfall. Level 1 armor and helmets, for example, have a reported Career level 3 requirement, but each has its own unlock fee.
For the M4 and AK74, the planner also has an Assault XP estimate. Enter your total Assault XP, not just the progress bar within your current level. The time estimate uses your own XP-per-hour figure.
Check dates on unlock tables
Older guides may still use beta values. Our linked community records were checked on September 16, 2026; we have not confirmed every threshold in-game. If your game shows something different, use that value.
There is no account connection here. You enter levels yourself, and the time estimate will only be as useful as the XP rate you put in.
