Destruction
OVERVIEW
The WARDOGS battlefield is destructible, and both the Steam store page and Team17’s official page state it plainly. Destruction sits alongside base building as one half of the same system: what players put up, other players can take down. Set in the derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe, the map gives that system a lot to work with — factories, silos, concrete blocks and the fortifications teams raise around the Control Zone.
HISTORY
Large-scale destruction has been a selling point in the genre for years, usually as spectacle. What the official material describes here is closer to a rule than a feature: Team17 presents destruction and construction together, in a sandbox where teams build forward bases and other teams remove them. As of 16 August 2026 neither Team17 nor BULKHEAD has published how far destruction goes — whether terrain deforms, whether buildings collapse fully, or whether anything rebuilds during a match. BULKHEAD’s Steam notes of 30 September tie destruction rewards to construction progress: placing a schematic no longer earns a full destruction reward. Pallets deposited into a FOB outside the zone earn reduced rewards; no reduction rate is given.
WHAT IT CHANGES IN PRACTICE
The consequence worth planning around is that cover is temporary. A wall that protects an approach in the first minutes of a round may not exist later, and a fortified position is a target rather than a guarantee. Team17 also lists armoured vehicles and helicopters among the things players buy, which is presumably how heavy structures come down. The specifics — what damages what, and how much — are not published by any source we have found as of 16 August 2026.
WHAT PLAYERS GET WRONG
Do not assume a strong position will remain intact. On a battlefield the developer describes as destructible, the durability of cover matters as much as its location. The dated sources consulted for this article do not establish how much damage each structure can withstand, and this site has not measured it in the released game. Our page on FOBs and base building covers the sourced information about constructing defences.
