WARDOGS Maps — All 3 Launch Maps & Objectives

WARDOGS launches with three maps (each with variations) set in the derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe, across a 256 km² battlefield. Every match drops a randomized 2x2km Control Zone into the map — this guide covers the terrain, objectives and map comms.

The Three Launch Maps

• Bakurani: the flagship — a river-valley Kavkazi map roughly 16 km across, fully mapped by the community with grid references and named sectors. The Control Zone fight rotates between three spots: Default (south-west of center, picked most often), Farmland (north) and Lumberyard (south-east) — the two furthest circles sit only ~285 m apart, so fights concentrate on the town and factory flats. A separate "Bakurani Outskirts – Jutari" Sniper Showdown variant also exists.
• Ozeti and Zestafona ship with variations at Early Access; sector callouts and grid data land here as the community verifies them.
• The full battlefield is 256 km² — matches play out inside a randomized 2x2km Control Zone within it.

Community Map Tools

• MetaForge — interactive maps for Bakurani and Ozeti with tower positions, Control Zone overlays and named areas, plus a weapons/item database and an artillery tool in progress.
• Clutchbase — 16K-detail interactive maps with live squad drawing (share a link, everyone’s marks sync in real time) and a mortar/artillery calculator for the L81 and SPH-2 across all three maps.
• wardogstools.org — a lightweight community map for dropping and exporting personal markers (routes, loot spots) as PNGs for squad planning, covering Bakurani, Ozeti and Zestafona.

These are third-party community tools, not official BULKHEAD products — the official in-game map remains the tactical map with pinging and spotted targets (below). For mortar fire solutions, see the mortar guide.

Towers & the Hot Zone

• Towers around the map reveal digits of a code when captured.
• A team holding all digits can draw the hot zone to its own position.
• Inside the hot zone, one soldier counts as two for scoring.
• First team to 100 points wins the match.

How to Ping the Map

1. Open the tactical map (default keybind) to see your faction’s spotted targets.
2. Ping enemies, supplies or vehicles so your whole team sees them.
3. Spotted enemies stay marked while the tag is active — spotters with binoculars keep the map lit.
4. Ping FOB supply needs so drivers and pilots know what to haul.

FOB Placement

Good FOBs sit near supply routes, cover a tower approach, and use terrain so Hesco walls do the work. A bad FOB burns thousands in supplies and hands the enemy a free artillery target. See the gameplay guide for the building systems.
