How much does the T-72 cost in WARDOGS?
By George In The Meta · · updated
Short answer: the T-72B3 costs $250,000 to unlock in WARDOGS Season 02, and you can't unlock it until you're Driver level 20. After that, each tank costs $16,000 to buy. I hit Driver 20 on 31 October and paid the $250,000, which left me with $15,918, so I was $82 short of actually buying one.
What level do you need for the T-72 in WARDOGS?
You need Driver level 20 for the T-72B3. Until you get there, the vehicle vendor just shows "DRIVER LVL 20" on it with a lock, and no price. In Season 01 the only tank, the L2A6, sat at Driver 35, which is why I think tanks are overpowered this season. The patch notes call the T-72 "slower than the L2A6, but cheaper and slightly more fuel-efficient".
Driver XP comes from delivering supplies, round trips, repairs and the spawn vehicle, which I've broken down in what gives Driver XP.
What are the T-72's stats in WARDOGS?
These are off the T-72B3's own card in the vendor on 31 October, next to the Ural's. The range is my maths from the other two lines.
| T-72B3 | Ural | |
|---|---|---|
| Seats | 3 | 1 driver and 2 passengers |
| Max speed | 60 km/h | 79 km/h |
| Fuel | 110 L | 85 L |
| Fuel use | 8.5 L/km | 4 L/km |
| Range on a full tank | about 13 km | about 21 km |
| Weapons | 2A46M-5 cannon, PKTM coaxial gun, M2 Browning | None |
It's got smoke as well. A loaded Ural is faster than this thing going forwards, never mind backwards.
Is the T-72 worth buying in WARDOGS?
I don't think so. I unlocked it, and I probably won't even buy one. The thing that was making tanks overpowered was how quickly people could get them, and I don't think they're going to be any good now.
What do the other WARDOGS vehicles cost?
These are the land vehicles in my vendor on 30 October. The first three you can buy straight away; the rest need unlocking with cash, or a Driver level first.
| Vehicle | Cost |
|---|---|
| Bobcat | $500 |
| Kodiak | $2,500 |
| Ural | $5,000 |
| Dune Buggy | $25,000 to unlock |
| Kodiak [Pickup] | $35,000 to unlock |
| Kodiak [M249] | $50,000 to unlock |
| Wolf-110 | $50,000 to unlock |
| Ural Defender | $75,000 to unlock |
| Humvee | $75,000 to unlock |
| Wolf-110 [M2 Browning] | Driver 16, then $125,000 to unlock |
| T-72B3 | Driver 20, then $250,000 to unlock, then $16,000 a tank |
| Ural Defender [M249] | Driver 22 |
| Humvee [M249] | Driver 24 |
| Flakpanzer Gepard | Driver 25, then $300,000 to unlock |
| Humvee [Minigun] | Driver 30 |
The air vendor works the same way off your Pilot level. The MH-6 is $6,250 to buy, then the AH-6M [Miniguns] needs Pilot 8, the Z20 Lakota Pilot 10, the AH-6R [Rockets] Pilot 20, the Z20 Lakota [Miniguns] Pilot 25, and the Havoc Pilot 35.
