Medic
Medic is the cheapest and safest way to earn in WARDOGS. Every revive saves a teammate the cost of their kit and keeps a body in the zone for the team. Medics get paid for it — double inside the Control Zone.
In short
Section titled “In short”- A revive pays $800 in the Control Zone and $1,600 in the Hot Zone, half that outside. Bandages are free.
- First goal: the field reviver (level 2, $425), then the Medical Bag (level 14, $50,000). The main levelling goal is the defibrillator (level 22, $110,000): instant revives and more money.
- Smoke first, then revive. The SMG is for self-defence only; since Season 2 the starter is the PP-19 Bizon for $1,000.
How to play Medic
Section titled “How to play Medic”- Be in the zone, one step behind your assaulters. Revives in the Control Zone pay double, and you can see who goes down.
- Watch the map. Downed players are marked on it; some have an amount next to them — that’s a bribe they’ll pay whoever picks them up.
- Smoke first, then revive. Downed players are often camped: a smoke grenade covers you during the revive.
- Don’t heal yourself for XP. Bandaging yourself uses a bandage and gives nothing.
- Your SMG is for self-defence. Your job is picking people up, not winning gunfights.

Medical gear
Section titled “Medical gear”| Item | Level | Unlock | Price | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bandages | start | — | free | Bandaging teammates |
| Field Resuscitator | 2 | $10,000 | $425 | Reviving downed players |
| White smoke | 5 | $7,500 | $100 | Cover while reviving |
| Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) | 10 | $25,000 | $800 | Healing |
| Medical Bag | 14 | $50,000 | $1,800 | Medical supplies for the squad |
| Adrenaline Pen | 16 | $25,000 | free | Stimulant shot |
| Defibrillator | 22 | $110,000 | $1,600 + battery | Instant revive |
The Defibrillator is the key levelling goal: it revives instantly instead of over several seconds, and pays more XP. Since Season 2 it unlocks later and costs more, while the Medical Bag unlocks earlier: level 14 instead of 24. Bag durability went up from 100 to 150, so one bag lasts longer.
| Weapon | Level | Unlock | Purchase price |
|---|---|---|---|
| PP-19 Bizon | start | — | $1,000 |
| MP5 | 4 | $25,000 | $1,800 |
| PP-19 Vityaz | 15 | $50,000 | $1,200 |
| AMP-9 | 20 | $75,000 | $1,375 |
| Super-45 | 35 | $200,000 | $5,600 |
The PP-19 Bizon with its 53-round magazine is available from the start, so you can play Medic on day one. The MP5 now unlocks at level 4, but its recoil pulls further sideways. The Super-45 hits noticeably harder with its .45 round, but costs $5,600 and since Season 2 loses damage fast beyond 50 m: it is a close-quarters weapon.

Common mistakes
Section titled “Common mistakes”- Reviving outside the zone when you could do it inside. The same revive pays half outside the zone.
- Running to a downed player under fire. Smoke or cover first, then the revive.
- Fighting instead of healing. A medic who dies in a gunfight picks nobody up.
- Ignoring bribes. A downed player with a bribe on the map pays better than one without.
