WARDOGS Drones Guide: Kamikaze and Anti-Vehicle Drones
Updated 2026-09-25
The quick answer
WARDOGS has deployable drones — community coverage centers on two types: kamikaze drones (fly into a target, detonate) and the Stingray anti-vehicle drone. Verified stats (damage, cost, unlock) are not yet confirmed by the community.
What drones do in practice
Based on how the community discusses them:
- Anti-vehicle — drones are the infantry answer to the armored problems (see why armor matters in armor & TTK)
- Anti-helicopter context — with helicopters in their current fragile state (CRAM kills them in ~0.5s, community-reported), drone usage against air is part of the ongoing balance debate covered in the helicopter guide
- Cheap harassment — drones let a low-budget player threaten expensive vehicles, which matters in the wipe-driven economy (see money farming)
Honest status
Not yet community-confirmed: drone damage values, purchase cost, unlock level, carry limits, and counterplay (jamming/shoot-down mechanics). We add numbers only when tested and sourced.
