03FIELD MANUAL / DOCTRINE
Prepare for Your First WARDOGS Match
Its core mode sends three teams into a large battlefield to contest a randomized Control Zone. Teamplay is tied to a persistent cash economy: revives, transport, objective play, and other useful actions can earn money that carries between matches.
