# WARDOGS mods and custom servers

> Whether WARDOGS has mods or Steam Workshop support, what community servers can change instead, and how Infantry Mode, Low Level and Limited servers differ.

WARDOGS has no mod support today: there's no Steam Workshop for it, and community servers run the build BULKHEAD gives its approved hosting partners. What makes a community server different is how it's run: its rules, its admins, its ping limit and the kind of match it hosts.

> [!NOTE]
> WARDOGS servers can't be ordered on Wilderack yet. We open WARDOGS once BULKHEAD and Team17 approve Wilderack as a hosting partner. If BULKHEAD adds mod support, we'll add it to the **Mods** tab and to this guide.

## Why there are no mods

WARDOGS is an Early Access game with cash, levels and unlocks kept on BULKHEAD's own servers. Every server, official or community, has to play by the same rules for that to stay fair. The WARDOGS terms allow community servers only when they're run with tools Team17 or BULKHEAD made or approved.

## Kinds of community servers

Even without mods, community servers aren't all the same:

| Kind | Who it's for |
|---|---|
| Standard | The full game, like official servers, with your own rules and admins |
| Infantry Mode | Infantry fights. The Deploy screen points players here |
| Low Level | Newer players. The Deploy screen points players here too |
| Limited | Limited Mode: vendors stock only early to mid season items, with no attack vehicles or late-season power items |

Which kinds a server can run comes with the server build. We'll list how to switch between them once we have it.

## What you can change instead

Most of what makes a community server feel like home isn't a mod at all:

- **Rules.** The Server Rules popup tells every player how your server plays before they spawn.
- **Admins.** Admins who ban cheaters on the spot are the main reason players pick community servers.
- **Ping limit.** A strict limit keeps fights fair for one region. A looser one welcomes friends from abroad.
- **Reserved slots.** Your members always get in, even when the server is full.
- **A name and image** that players recognize in the browser.

See [server settings](https://wilderack.com/wiki/wardogs/config-reference/) for each one.

## If you see "WARDOGS mods" for sale

Anything that claims to mod WARDOGS servers, or to unlock items or cash, isn't from BULKHEAD. Cash and unlocks live on BULKHEAD's own servers, and BULKHEAD resets and bans players caught exploiting cash or XP. Stay away from it, and don't run it on a server.

## If mod support arrives

BULKHEAD ships big updates every season. If WARDOGS gets mod support, we'll add it to the **Mods** tab, so you can install mods on your server without touching files, and update this guide.

## Questions and answers

### Does WARDOGS have mods?

Not today. WARDOGS has no Steam Workshop, and community servers run the build BULKHEAD gives its approved hosting partners. Servers change the game through their settings instead.

### What is Infantry Mode in WARDOGS?

A kind of community server for infantry fights. The game's Deploy screen points players to Infantry Mode and Low Level community servers alongside the main list.

### What is Limited Mode in WARDOGS?

A mode added in Season 03 that limits vendors to what's usually available early to mid season, with no attack vehicles, CIWS, Stingray, MG Nest, Drill Rig or anti-tank mines. Progress and cash still carry over.
