WARDOGS has no classes. Your role is whatever you buy: use a track’s items and you earn XP on that track. Reaching a level lets you buy that level’s unlocks with cash. Season 2 (October 15, 2026) made levelling much faster and reshuffled most unlocks.
The Seven Tracks
| Track |
What earns XP / what it unlocks |
| WARDOG |
Your account-wide track: pistols, supply pallets, many optics, the Gold Market and armor |
| Assault |
Attacking enemy bases: rifles, C4, the Molotov. Destroying buildables, IEDs and C4 now give Assault XP |
| Medic |
Revives and healing: SMGs, Medical Bag, Defibrillator |
| Recon |
Sniping and spotting: sniper rifles, the M14, bow, Claymore, ghillie suits |
| Support |
LMGs, launchers and heavy weapons |
| Pilot |
Helicopters. Repairing aircraft gives Pilot XP |
| Driver |
Ground vehicles and tanks. Artillery and repairing ground vehicles give Driver XP |
Before launch BULKHEAD described six tracks; the Season 2 patch notes list the seven above.

BULKHEAD says reaching level 20 now takes less than half the playtime it did in Season 1. Each season gets its own XP curve and item order, so expect this table to change in Season 3.
Key Unlocks by Track (Season 2)
These are the unlocks BULKHEAD listed in the Season 2 patch notes, with level and one-time unlock cost. Items not mentioned there (unchanged from Season 1) aren’t listed yet. “Not stated” means the notes gave the cost but not the level.
