How to join a WARDOGS community server

WARDOGS players join community servers from the server browser. There’s no address to type: you find the server by name, or by its ID, and join.

Find a community server

1. Start WARDOGS and press Deploy.
2. Choose Community.
3. Type part of the server’s name in the search box.
4. Pick the server and join.

The Deploy screen also points to Infantry Mode and Low Level community servers, for infantry fights and for newer players.

Filters that help

• Ping: servers show their maximum ping, so you can skip ones too far away.
• Show empty and full: hide servers you can’t play on right now.
• Limited: servers running Limited Mode, which keeps late-season power items out.
• Favorites: only servers you’ve favorited.

Favorite a server

Favorite a community server from the browser, or from the pause menu while you play on it. Then use the favorites filter to find it again. This is the easiest way for a group to keep playing together.

Join by server ID

Each community server has its own ID, a long number that stays the same between matches and restarts. Share it with your group along with the name, so nobody joins the wrong server with a similar name.

Can’t get in?

• The server isn’t listed. Clear the filters and search again. A server that’s restarting is back in the list once it’s up.
• Kicked for high ping. The server’s ping limit is lower than your ping. Pick a server closer to you.
• The server is full. Wait, or ask the admins about reserved slots for members.
• Banned. Only that server’s admins can lift a ban. Contact them through their Discord or website.
