Wardogs cheat setup, requirements and fixes

Wardogs is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team warfare shooter, in Steam Early Access since 10 September 2026. The build runs against its Elytra anti-cheat on the Steam version. This hub covers setup, mortars and the fixes for common problems.

Wardogs cheat requirements

What your PC and your copy of Wardogs need before the first launch. The first list applies to every build we make; the second is specific to Wardogs.

Every build

A Windows 10 or 11 PC. There is no macOS, Linux or console version of any build. Getting started
A Discord account. Setup runs through the Discord, and Barry answers there around the clock.
The game installed through a supported launcher and fully updated before you load in.
Borderless or windowed display mode. Exclusive fullscreen is not supported and is the usual reason an overlay flickers or vanishes. Overlay settings
No boot-time anti-cheat from another game installed, such as Riot Vanguard, FACEIT or ESEA. They can stop the loader from opening. Loader will not open
No HTTPS interception software (Fiddler, mitmproxy) or its certificates on the PC. The anti-leak system flags them. Remove Fiddler certificates

How to set up the Wardogs cheat

Setup is the same four steps on every title, and most people are in a match within a few minutes of paying.

1 Pay, then open the onboarding email that arrives the moment payment clears. Check spam if it is not in your inbox. Getting started
2 Join the Elocarry Discord. Your licence and Discord role are granted automatically.
3 Run the one command from the onboarding email in normal PowerShell as administrator (not the x86 version and not PowerShell 7). It launches the loader.
4 Follow the loader, start the game, then open the in-game menu with the hotkey the loader shows. Every feature is a toggle and your settings save to your account.

Before your first Wardogs match

Sit in an L81 with mortar prediction on, and a HUD shows the range and yaw you need for the selected target, what the tube is set to now and the difference between them.
Vehicle ESP covers wheeled, tracked, rotary, airplane and stationary classes, each out to a range you set, so set those ranges before your first match.

Wardogs cheat not working?

Check live status first: after a Wardogs update the build is paused until it is rebuilt, and that is the most common reason nothing loads. Then work through the fixes below.

The build is down after an Early Access update

The build is rebuilt the moment Wardogs or Elytra patches, and in Early Access the game changes often. If a patch takes it down, sales pause until it is back and lost time is covered by the compensation policy.

Why cheats stop working after updates

Fixes that work on every title

Nothing works after a game patch

Check live status first. Builds are paused while they are rebuilt after an update, and loading a paused build is the fastest way to waste a session or risk a ban. Live status
The loader will not open

Update Windows, uninstall boot-time anti-cheats (Vanguard, FACEIT, ESEA), run the command from normal PowerShell as administrator and make sure the Windows clock is synced. Loader will not open
The menu or ESP is not showing

Switch the game to borderless or windowed, turn off overlays that draw on top (the NVIDIA or AMD overlay, Discord clipping, Overwolf), keep the Discord overlay or RTSS set up as the setup guide says, then restart and re-inject. If the F5 debug console opens, the build is running and the problem is the overlay layer. ESP or overlay not showing
FPS drops, stutter or overlay crashes

Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling, install current NVIDIA or AMD drivers, cap FPS to your refresh rate and turn off replay and clipping tools. Overlay performance and crash fix
The loader will not authenticate

An out-of-sync clock is the usual cause. Turn on automatic time and time zone in Windows, then sync. Connection errors are often fixed by the DNS and IPv6 steps. Fix your system clock

Wardogs anti-cheat

Wardogs runs Elytra as its anti-cheat on PC, and the build runs against it on the Steam version. Builds are polymorphic, changing signature on every launch, and rebuilt the moment Wardogs or Elytra patches.

Wardogs updates and the build

Bulkhead expects Wardogs to stay in Early Access for one to two years, so the game and its anti-cheat will keep changing. Check the status page after every Wardogs patch before you load in.
