Head-to-Head
WARDOGS comparisons, with a verdict.
Tier lists rank things. These pages put specific options side by side and say which to pick — built only from figures recorded in the August 2026 beta, with the gaps named instead of filled in.
Lonestar vs Valkyra vs Manticore
No faction is stronger — the choice is cosmetic.
Every axis the three factions can be compared on: colour, origin, lore, Supporter Edition camos, and the systems all three share identically.
- Which faction should I pick
- Do factions play differently
- The camo-rifle detail worth knowing

Field reports behind these comparisons
How these pages are sourced
Every figure comes from the same beta data behind our field reports — community trackers and guide sites that catalogued the August 2026 closed beta, plus official BULKHEAD and Team17 material. Where beta trackers never captured a number, the tables say "Unrecorded" rather than estimating, because a comparison built on invented stats is worse than no comparison at all.
WARDOGS reaches Steam Early Access on 10 September 2026. Tier placements and prices reflect the beta and can move before and after launch; each comparison page states which data is still missing so you can judge how much weight the verdict carries.
