WARDOGS Money: Persistent Cash & Deployment Budgets

What carries between matches

Your cash balance persists from one match to the next. A new match is not a fresh $10,000 reset. The starting balance is the beginning of your progression, not a grant to assume at every match transition.

Each life brings a purchasing decision: weapons, equipment, utility and vehicles compete for the same money. A large purchase may help the team, but it also reduces the cash available for later decisions.

Teamplay is part of the income loop

Reviving squadmates, transporting teammates to the zone and controlling the objective are money-earning team actions. Choose a job your purchased equipment can actually support.

The Hot Zone can provide double cash, but it is a location-based opportunity rather than a guarantee that every action everywhere pays twice. Keep the objective and the risks of reaching it in your plan.

Plan a repeatable purchase

1. Choose the task you will perform: fight on the objective, revive, transport, supply or build.
2. List the equipment needed for that task and count consumables separately.
3. Separate any one-time unlock payment from the equipment’s vendor purchase cost.
4. Reserve cash for another affordable deployment before adding optional upgrades.
5. After the match, compare what you spent with the tasks you actually managed to perform.

Two launch prices that change building budgets

Do not confuse unlock and vendor prices

Large Hammer has both a vendor purchase price and a Support unlock payment. Adding the unlock fee to every repeat kit overstates recurring cost; ignoring an unpaid fee understates the first purchase.

Apply the same distinction when considering vehicles and specialist equipment. Check both whether you can unlock the item and whether you can afford to use it in your current plan.
