Vehicle notes
Season 1 changelog, 9 September 2026 (official): level 10 to 8, unlock $35,000 to $25,000. Still the worked example: the one-off unlock, then $1,500 a buggy.
How you get one
The DUNE BUGGY has a purchase price of $1,500; it is 15% of the $10,000 every account gets once — and that money does not come back. Cash carries between matches in WARDOGS and what you lose stays lost, so the question is not whether you can afford it now but whether you can afford to lose it twice.
On top of the price, the DUNE BUGGY carries a one-off unlock of $25,000 — paid once to add it to what you can buy, which is 250% of the entire starting balance. That figure is from the imported progression snapshot rather than the tile, so it is reported, not confirmed.
The DUNE BUGGY is not for sale at any price until you reach Driver Lvl 8. That gate reads against your Driver level, which is a vendor track rather than your account level. WARDOGS has no fixed classes: progression runs on tracks earned by using the relevant gear, so Driver level is time behind a wheel — and it is not the Pilot level the helicopters need, nor the Wardog level the heavy armour needs.
Recorded from the Closed Alpha vehicle vendor. The tab this vehicle is filed under is our reading — the capture was taken with the ALL filter selected, so no tile was seen under its own tab.
Other land transport in the vendor
The rest of the tab the DUNE BUGGY is sold under — buyable first, then cash unlocks, then whatever you have to earn.
