How WARDOGS damage works

Damage isn't a single number — the game runs a multiplier stack every time a round lands:

damage taken = base damage × ammo modifier × armour mitigation × hit-zone multiplier × range falloff

• Armour: four tiers. Body armour and helmets mitigate separately, so a chest shot and a head shot against the same player can need different numbers of hits. Higher tiers soak more.
• Ammo: an FMJ / HP / AP-style split. FMJ is the baseline. HP (hollow-point) hits soft targets harder but is punished by armour. AP (armour-piercing) trades some raw damage for penetration — the pick against Tier 3–4 plates.
• Hit zone: head, chest and limbs carry different multipliers. Head shots drop the shots-to-kill on most guns.
• Range falloff: damage drops over distance in bands. The same rifle can swing from ~277 ms up to ~728 ms TTK as range opens up.

The maths behind the chart:

Everything below is base damage vs an unarmoured target with FMJ — the best case. It's the fair way to rank raw weapon power; in a real fight, armour and range push the numbers up.

Fastest time-to-kill (the meta picks)

Excluding one-shot snipers and shotguns, these kill quickest at full fire rate:

The two-shot battle-rifle types (FAL, SVD, BMR, SKS, PKM) dominate raw TTK because they need so few hits — the trade-off is recoil and slower handling. The full-auto ARs and SMGs are more forgiving to land.

Damage chart by class

Sorted fastest-killing first within each class.

Assault Rifles

SMGs

LMGs

DMRs

Snipers

A clean chest hit from the AMR-50, Mosin or SV-98 is a one-shot on an unarmoured target. Armour can push the big bolt-actions to two shots to the body — go for the head.

Shotguns

Shotgun damage is the per-pellet total on a full-pellet hit at point-blank range; it falls off hard with distance. The MP43's absurd DPS is its fire rate — up close it's brutal, past a few metres it's nothing.

Pistols

Bow

Best pick in each class

• Assault Rifle — FAL for raw speed (2-shot, 85 ms), M4 if you want the most forgiving full-auto (highest AR fire rate at 827 RPM).
• SMG — Super-45, comfortably the class's fastest kill at 96 ms; the AMP-9 is the easier full-auto.
• LMG — PKM for the 2-shot body kill; M249 for sustained suppression.
• DMR — SVD, top damage and TTK of the three.
• Sniper — AMR-50 for guaranteed one-shots through armour; SV-98/Mosin for a lighter body-shot kill.
• Shotgun — MP43 close-quarters, but all three one-shot up close.
• Pistol — Deagle as a real secondary (2-shot); GGX 18 if you want a full-auto sidearm panic button.

A note on these numbers

WARDOGS hasn't published an official weapon stat sheet, so every figure here is community-datamined and cross-checked across independent trackers — the fire-rate values line up exactly between sources, which is a good sign the base data is right. They're Early Access numbers and BULKHEAD can rebalance any of them in a patch. We update this chart when the community re-measures after a balance update. Damage shown is the unarmoured-target base; against armour, use the shots-to-kill as a floor and switch to AP ammo for the higher tiers.
