Building and Destruction in WARDOGS

Building prices that can actually be checked

Source: BULKHEAD Season 1 changelog · Season 1 · Reviewed through patch 0.11 · Last verified 2026-09-19. These are published changes, not a complete inventory.

The same changelog lists the Large Hammer at $75,000 on the Support progression track, up from $25,000, and moves its unlock from level 7 to 8. Medium Hammer progression cost moves from $10,000 to $25,000. These are separate entries from the vendor price above.

Do not add an unlock fee to every deployment as if it were the per-life item price. Use building tools for the distinction or the cost calculator to budget known vendor purchases.

Where a FOB fits

Team17 describes fortifying a strategic chokepoint with a forward operating base. The point is to support the team’s position around the active objective, not to build a structure merely because you can afford one.

Before committing cash, identify the position the squad wants to hold, arrange transport or supply support, and check the placement feedback in your current client. This is planning advice, not a claimed placement radius or legal-build-location map. The FOB guide gives a budget checklist.

Destruction changes routes and cover

Official examples include rocket launchers destroying apartment blocks and tanks breaking through towns. These confirm substantial environmental destruction; they do not prove that every object is destructible, that all buildings share the same health, or that a particular weapon has a known damage value.

Losing cover can expose an approach or a forward position. Coordinate construction with the team’s current Control Zone needs rather than assuming the same spot remains valuable all match.

What changed in Season 1

FOB and Large Hammer vendor prices increased. Support hammer progression costs changed, and Large Hammer moved to level 8. The changelog also increases the inventory space taken by 155mm, 122mm and flare deployables and fixes a buildables-related crash.

Structure health, repair rates, placement distances, team limits and a complete build catalogue remain unverified in our current source set. We omit those numbers instead of deriving them from screenshots.
