Playing as the Lonestar faction (Blue Team) in WARDOGS can be difficult. Your blue uniform is easy to spot in forest areas, and the southern spawn can leave your team fighting enemies from multiple directions.
You can still win as Blue Team by changing how you move, earn money, protect your spawn, and attack objectives. These tips will help you survive longer and make better decisions during the match.
How to Stay Hidden as Blue Team
Blue clothing is easy to see against green forests, so avoid relying on bushes for cover.
Stay near hard cover such as rocks, shadows, and concrete buildings. These areas make you harder to spot than open forest or bushes.
If you need to cross a forest, move quickly between rocks and other pieces of cover. Avoid standing still in the open because enemy snipers can easily spot you.
How to Make Money as Blue Team
Losing territory can reduce your passive income, so use your team’s situation to earn money in other ways.
Play as a Combat Medic
Blue Team players will often get knocked down during heavy fights. A Combat Medic can take advantage of this by staying slightly behind the front line and carrying medical crates.
Reviving teammates can give you a steady source of cash and XP, especially during large fights.
Use Binoculars to Spot Enemies
Enemy teams will often push into Blue Team territory.
Stay behind hard cover and use binoculars to spot enemy players and assets. Marking enemies can give you money while keeping you out of direct combat.
How to Protect Blue Team Spawn Vehicles
Keeping your spawn vehicles in a safe position is important. Moving them unnecessarily can make it harder for your team to maintain a reliable spawn point.
If a player is driving a mobile spawn vehicle around the FOB without a good reason, try to stop them and keep the vehicle in a safe, stationary position.
You can also zoom out your minimap using the [ and ] keys. A wider view makes it easier to watch the surrounding area and spot incoming enemy drop pods.
What to Do When the Enemy Controls the Center
If the enemy has heavily fortified the central Control Zone, attacking it directly may not be the best option.
Instead, gather a few teammates and attack the Towers around the edge of the map.
Hacking the Tower terminals allows you to change the code digits and move the high-scoring Hot Zone toward the southern sector.
This forces the enemy to leave its defensive position and fight closer to your team’s side of the map.
Quick Blue Team Strategy
If you are struggling as Lonestar, follow this simple plan:
- Stay near hard cover instead of hiding in bushes.
- Use Combat Medic to earn cash and XP from revives.
- Spot enemies with binoculars from a safe position.
- Keep spawn vehicles stationary at the FOB.
- Watch the minimap using the
[and]keys. - Attack Towers when the central Control Zone is heavily defended.
- Move the Hot Zone south to force enemies away from their fortress.
The goal is not to fight every enemy head-on. Stay alive, protect your spawn, earn money safely, and make the enemy move when you have the advantage.
