Vehicle notes

Replaced the UH-1Y in Steam build 25098628 (Closed Beta 02, 3 September 2026). The build's own UI textures for ROT_04 are localised 'Z20 Lakota' and 'Z20 Lakota [Miniguns]', the same transport-and-armed-transport pair the UH-1Y filled, and the airframe in the vendor art is a different helicopter, not a rename. The price and the Pilot gate are carried from the UH-1Y row this replaces — the progression snapshot predates the swap and the build ships no ROT_04 node — so they are the one place on this page the old airframe still speaks; a first-hand tile read replaces them. No stats block: the ROT_01 figures were the UH-1Y's and do not transfer.

How you get one

The Z20 LAKOTA [MINIGUNS] has a purchase price of $15,000; it is 150% of the $10,000 every account gets once, which means you cannot buy one with your starting balance at all. It has to be earned first, and cash in WARDOGS comes from teamplay — reviving, transporting squadmates, spotting, holding objectives — rather than from kills alone. Then you have to be willing to lose it, because what you lose stays lost.

On top of the price, the Z20 LAKOTA [MINIGUNS] carries a one-off unlock of $75,000 — paid once to add it to what you can buy, which is 750% of the entire starting balance. That figure is from the imported progression snapshot rather than the tile, so it is reported, not confirmed.

The Z20 LAKOTA [MINIGUNS] is not for sale at any price until you reach Pilot Lvl 25. That gate reads against your Pilot level, which is its own track — separate from the Driver level the vendor's land transports gate on, and separate again from the Wardog level its tanks need. WARDOGS has no fixed classes: progression runs on tracks earned by using the relevant gear, so time behind a wheel buys you nothing in the air.

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.
