FIELD MANUAL / YOUR INFANTRY KIT
Choose your specialist tool around what your squad needs next.
Start with the situation below. Compare the tools, check your access and build a kit you can afford to replace.
Find your role ↓
BUILD · SUPPORT · OBSERVE01 / WHAT DOES THE SQUAD NEED?
Medical Bag · $2,000Your squad needs someone focused on helping downed and injured teammates.
Stay close enough to help, but use cover and coordinate before moving to a casualty. Tell the squad what medical equipment you are carrying.
The Defibrillator specialises in instant revives and needs battery power. The Medical Bag heals over time and speeds revives. Ordinary healing supplies remain separate items.
A medical tool is most useful when teammates are within reach. Reconsider it for a trip you expect to make alone.
Medic level 11 — $50,000
Function Instant teammate revives; needs a battery to charge and operate.
WDGuide advice Budget for power as well as the tool. A revive tool does not replace ordinary healing supplies.
Historical function recordMedic level 24 — $75,000
Function Heals you or teammates over time and speeds up teammate revives. Self-use is described as more costly; the exact extra cost is not specified here.
WDGuide advice Choose it for repeated squad support. Its broader healing role differs from the battery-powered Defibrillator.
Historical function recordAgree who is bringing medical equipment.
Keep a covered route back to your squad.
Call out when you cannot safely reach someone.
Large Hammer · $2,400You are helping establish or maintain a FOB.
Choose a hammer that supports the pieces you intend to build. Coordinate with the base operator and make sure Build Supplies will be available.
Small Hammer: small structures, slow building. Medium Hammer: basic and large structures, moderate speed. Large Hammer: all buildables, fastest listed speed. Every hammer needs Build Supplies.
A hammer without supplies or a useful construction job ties up your specialist choice.
Support level 8 — $75,000
Function Builds all buildables at the fastest listed hammer speed; needs Build Supplies.
WDGuide advice Use for a broader construction job. Supply delivery remains necessary even with the top hammer.
Historical function record
Support level 3 — $25,000
Function Builds basic and large structures at a moderate rate; needs Build Supplies.
WDGuide advice Check that each intended piece is available to this hammer before paying for an upgrade.
Historical function record
Unlocked by default — $0
Function Builds small structures at a slow rate and consumes Build Supplies.
WDGuide advice Start with simple cover such as sandbags; do not plan a full base around its limited build access.
Historical function recordAgree on the structures the team needs.
Check hammer access and the supply delivery.
Leave entrances and unloading space clear.
Infrared Range Finder · $1,200Your team needs someone watching approaches or checking distances.
Choose spotting equipment for the information you need, then observe from a position with cover and a way out. Report a location and direction your teammates can act on.
Start with Binoculars for basic spotting. Monocular adds variable magnification in less space. Range Finder adds distance readings; Infrared Range Finder also changes the viewing display.
Good visibility alone does not help the team. Stay connected to the objective and communicate what you see.
Unlocked by default — $0
Function Spots infantry and vehicles with low magnification.
WDGuide advice A low-cost starting point when your job is spotting rather than measuring range.
Historical function recordRecon level 32 — $50,000
Function Adds an infrared view to variable magnification and distance readings.
WDGuide advice Pay for this upgrade when the display helps your observation task. It is not evidence that you can see through cover.
Historical function record
Recon level 2 — $7,500
Function Spots infantry and vehicles with variable magnification, in a two-cell footprint.
WDGuide advice Compare its compact size with Binoculars when packing a crowded backpack.
Historical function record
Recon level 8 — $15,000
Function Combines spotting and variable magnification with a distance indicator.
WDGuide advice Choose it when your callout needs a measured distance, not just an enemy direction.
Historical function recordPick an approach or position to watch.
Agree on shared landmarks with the squad.
Report changes and relocate when exposed.
Heavy Drill · $1,300You are accompanying a vehicle or supporting a logistics route.
Bring the tool that matches the job: fuel for refueling, or a repair tool for maintenance. Coordinate a sheltered stopping point before the vehicle needs help.
Fuel Can refuels vehicles. Wrench repairs slowly without a drill battery requirement. Light and Heavy Drills repair using batteries; Heavy Drill trades more carrying space for faster repairs.
Vehicle support equipment has little value if you cannot reach the vehicle or the crew has a different plan.
Unlocked by default — $0
Function Manually refuels vehicles, has limited capacity and can be refilled at a refueling point.
WDGuide advice Arrange the refill stop before the trip. A full can supports fuel needs; it does not repair damage.
Historical function recordSupport level 28 — $25,000
Function Battery-powered vehicle repair with the fastest listed repair speed.
WDGuide advice Compare its larger footprint and weight with the Light Drill before committing backpack space.
Historical function record
Support level 1 — $10,000
Function Battery-powered vehicle repair at a moderate rate.
WDGuide advice Pack power and compare carrying space. This is a handheld repair tool, separate from the FOB drill.
Historical function record
Unlocked by default — $0
Function Manually repairs vehicles at a slow rate.
WDGuide advice A simple repair option without the drill battery requirement. Allow more time at a sheltered stop.
Historical function recordAsk the driver what support is needed.
Check the tool and its required supplies.
Plan where the crew can stop under cover.
RPG-7 · $2,000Your squad has identified a threat that calls for a launcher.
Choose a launcher for the target and firing position. Agree on who will spot and how you will withdraw before spending on the weapon and its ammunition.
Verba requires an aircraft lock-on and is single-use. RPG-7 uses 93 mm rockets; MAAWS uses 84 mm anti-tank rounds. MGL-40 is a six-shot 40 mm grenade launcher. Budget for the correct ammunition.
Buying a launcher without suitable ammunition or a realistic shot can leave an expensive gap in the kit.
Support level 16 — $50,000
Function Single-use anti-air missile launcher that requires a lock on an aerial vehicle.
WDGuide advice Choose it for aircraft. It is not a substitute for a reusable ground-target launcher.
Historical function record
Support level 20 — $125,000
Function Reusable anti-tank launcher using 84 mm ammunition.
WDGuide advice Keep its ammunition separate from RPG-7 rockets; the two launcher calibres are different.
Historical function record
Support level 35 — $200,000
Function Six-shot grenade launcher using 40 mm ammunition, described for infantry and unarmoured vehicles.
WDGuide advice Check the target and restocking cost before choosing it for an expensive kit.
Historical function recordSupport level 5 — $30,000
Function Reusable launcher using 93 mm self-propelled rockets.
WDGuide advice Budget for compatible rockets and a reload plan. A reusable tube does not mean ammunition is included.
Historical function recordIdentify the target with the squad.
Confirm ammunition and targeting requirements.
Choose cover and an exit before firing.
Halligan Bar · $1,100You have an agreed breaching or demolition job.
Choose the item for the task rather than filling the slot at random. Coordinate with teammates before using breaching or explosive equipment.
Remote Detonator needs separate C4 Charges. The IED is a single-use remotely detonated device; do not infer its pairing from the C4 controller. Halligan Bar interaction rules still need current in-game verification.
A specialist item is not a complete plan. Confirm what the task requires and who will carry any supporting equipment.
Unlocked by default — $0
Function Listed in the in-game Tactical category. Its exact current interaction rules are not independently confirmed here.
WDGuide advice Confirm the intended interaction in game before selecting it for a breaching job.
Unlocked by default — $0
Function A remotely detonated explosive that can be used once.
WDGuide advice Treat it as consumable. The Remote Detonator entry documents C4, so do not assume the same pairing works with this device.
Historical function record
Support level 2 — $15,000
Function Detonates placed C4 Charges; the charges are separate required items.
WDGuide advice Buying the controller alone leaves this job incomplete. Confirm the C4 supply before leaving.
Historical function recordAgree on the task and location.
Check required supporting equipment in game.
Communicate before starting the action.
02 / COMPLETE THE KIT
Add your primary weapon, sidearm, protection and supplies. The planner shows purchase cost and known weight; ammunition and unlock fees need their own budget.
