ASSAULT / LEVELING PLAN
Assault rifle combat
Assault leveling largely comes from combat with Assault-track weapons. Player reports favour sustained fighting around objectives and enemy FOBs; there is no well-supported shortcut.
YOUR ROUTINE
One rifle, one squad, one active approach
- Pack
- Use an unlocked Assault-track rifle, compatible spare magazines and medical supplies. Keep enough cash to replace the complete kit. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- Join the infantry push nearest a usable friendly spawn. Choose cover that lets you engage the same approach as your squad instead of crossing the objective alone.
- Repeat
- Fight with the squad, reload behind cover and move when the push moves. Restock before another engagement rather than returning with a nearly empty kit.
- When to change the plan
- If most of the session is spent walking back, choose a closer supported fight. If the target skill is not advancing, check the weapon’s track before buying upgrades.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Several discussions describe Assault as slower to level than utility-based roles. Rifle combat is the consistent recommendation.

Healing and reviving teammates
Carry extra bandages and revive supplies, then stay near a squad taking contact. Players consistently recommend treating injuries as well as reviving; an SMG adds a combat option.
YOUR ROUTINE
Follow one infantry squad through a push
- Pack
- Bring bandages and your available revive tool. Leave carrying space for medical supplies before adding optional weapon attachments. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- Stay one piece of cover behind the players taking contact. Treat injured teammates during pauses; check the firing lane before approaching anyone downed.
- Repeat
- After a covered revive, check for remaining injuries and your own supply count. Replenish at the next safe opportunity and follow the same squad into its next fight.
- When to change the plan
- If casualties cannot be reached safely, ask for cover or reposition with the survivors. Repeatedly dying on the same exposed casualty stops both treatment and progress.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Healing others and frequent revives recur in beta and launch-week reports. These reports do not establish a reliable XP-per-hour rate.

Spotting active targets
Spotting is the most consistent Recon recommendation in the discussions reviewed. Several players report leveling primarily with observation equipment, without relying on sniper kills.
YOUR ROUTINE
Watch the approach your squad is contesting
- Pack
- Bring binoculars or another unlocked spotting tool, a defensive weapon and medical supplies. A sniper rifle is optional for this routine. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- Choose cover overlooking an enemy approach to the active fight. Identify a second observation position and a covered route between them.
- Repeat
- Scan the approach, mark visible targets and give short location calls. Check flanks between scans rather than watching only the centre of the objective.
- When to change the plan
- Move when the squad can no longer act on your sightings, the approach becomes quiet or your position draws fire. Changing the view is often more useful than buying another optic.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Spotting appears repeatedly in leveling threads. Results depend on available targets and whether teammates can engage them.
Read the community discussion ↗SUPPORT / LEVELING PLAN
FOB construction and supply runs
Building at a friendly FOB and keeping it supplied is the recurring Support recommendation. Players also report Driver or Pilot progress from the transport portion of the job.
YOUR ROUTINE
Finish a requested section of a friendly FOB
- Pack
- Bring a hammer suitable for the planned structures. Ask the crew what resources are already available before buying or arranging a delivery. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- Agree on one useful job, such as completing the entrance defences. Check that it leaves the delivery lane open and that the crew has enough Build Supplies.
- Repeat
- Complete the agreed structures, check remaining stock and ask for the next priority. Coordinate a delivery when resources are the bottleneck.
- When to change the plan
- When the base is complete, move to another requested job. Do not keep placing unnecessary pieces just to repeat the construction action.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Construction and logistics receive repeated support in the strategy threads. Combat with Support weapons is an alternative for players who prefer fighting.
Read the community discussion ↗DRIVER / LEVELING PLAN
Truck deliveries to friendly FOBs
Once a logistics truck is unlocked, players recommend regular supply runs. Cargo provides a steady job without depending on passengers choosing ground transport.
YOUR ROUTINE
Supply one active FOB on a repeatable route
- Pack
- Use a vehicle that can carry the requested load. Arrange a pickup point and unloading point with the receiving crew before departing. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- Mark the outward route and an alternative approach. Take the requested cargo, deliver it and confirm receipt with the FOB crew.
- Repeat
- Ask what the next load should contain before returning. Track the entire round trip, including loading, waiting and unloading.
- When to change the plan
- After an ambush, report the location and change the route. If the base has no demand, find another receiver rather than delivering unwanted cargo.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Truck logistics is widely recommended in the reviewed threads, although recent players still describe Driver progression as slow.
Read the community discussion ↗PILOT / LEVELING PLAN
Passenger transport and supply flights
Regular transport and supply flights are the recurring Pilot recommendations. The reports do not establish which is faster across different maps and aircraft.
YOUR ROUTINE
Run an agreed pickup and landing route
- Pack
- Choose an aircraft suited to the passengers or cargo and one you can land consistently. Confirm the destination before takeoff. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- Agree on a landing area and a backup with teammates on the ground. Plan an exit direction before committing to the approach.
- Repeat
- Complete the drop, confirm passengers or supplies are delivered, then leave for the next arranged pickup. Check demand before another empty flight.
- When to change the plan
- Abort a contested landing when ground support cannot secure it. Switch destinations or wait for a useful job rather than circling over the fight.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Players recommend both air transport and logistics. Demand, flight time and successful deliveries affect how well either method works.

Progress across several tracks
Players pursuing overall Wardog levels recommend developing lower-level roles. For a particular weapon unlock, focusing on its required track may still make more sense.
YOUR ROUTINE
Choose one unlock to work towards
- Pack
- Check whether the item needs Career progress or a named role. Reserve money for the unlock fee and the item itself. Equipment & requirements →
- First job
- For a role-specific unlock, use that role’s routine. For broader progress, pick an underdeveloped track with an actual job available in the match.
- Repeat
- Add a compatible task when it is useful: spot between infantry engagements or help build after a delivery. Check the separate skill bars after the session.
- When to change the plan
- Stay focused when a specific unlock is close. Switch when the current match offers no useful work, rather than chasing whichever bar looked fastest in another player’s clip.
Suggested routine, not an XP benchmark. Check the skill awarded in game; cash earned is a separate measure.
COMMUNITY FINDINGS
Developing several tracks is a community suggestion for overall progression, not a verified fastest route.
