Do WARDOGS factions have different weapons or stats?

No. All three factions — Lonestar, Valkyra, and Manticore — shop from the same armory with identical weapons, gear, and vehicles available. Faction choice is cosmetic and lore-only, not a gameplay advantage.

What are the three WARDOGS factions?

Lonestar (blue, a western paramilitary force answering only to whoever's paying), Valkyra (red, fighting to restore the Soviet People's Republic), and Manticore (green, a shadow army linked to the Kingdom of Persia).

Factions

All three factions are fighting over PV-1, a fictional resource the game's lore frames as the fuel behind decades of conflict in Kolchia — a fictional Eastern European region modeled on real locations in Georgia.

No gameplay difference — pick whichever fits your vibe. All three factions buy from the same armory: same weapons, same prices, same vehicles. The only thing your faction choice changes is your team color and the side you fight for in a given match.

Lonestar

Blue

Answers to whoever's paying

A heavily-equipped force out of the western paramilitary world. Unlike Valkyra and Manticore, Lonestar has no home government to answer to — just the highest bidder in Kolchia's fight over PV-1.

Valkyra

Red

Restoring the Soviet People's Republic

Valkyra's official fiction centers on restoring the Soviet People's Republic to its former strength and seizing control of Kolchia's strategic PV-1 reserves for the state.

Manticore

Green

A shadow army out of Tehran

A shadow army linked to the Kingdom of Persia and Tehran, operating in Kolchia's industrial mountains under the same deniable-conflict logic as the other two factions.
