WARDOGS rankings with source-aware methodology
These rankings are editorial watchlists based on official footage, public source wording, and pre-launch guide value. They are not official tier lists or final balance claims.

Ranking methodology
Each list favors topics that are visible in official footage, likely to matter to new players, and safe to discuss without inventing final numbers. Rankings should be refreshed after Steam updates, public playtests, patch notes, or official class and weapon reveals.
When Early Access data is available, these watchlists should split into separate pages for role rankings, weapon tiers, loadout costs, map routes, and beginner versus squad-focused recommendations.
The current ranking logic is intentionally conservative. A topic moves higher when it affects objective timing, cash preservation, squad survivability, or the ability to leave a fight before the next control zone opens. A topic moves lower when it depends on unconfirmed values such as weapon damage, cooldowns, unlock costs, or final map names.
