A Squad is a type of party set-up for players to better communicate and spot each other in the game. in WARDOGS, you have a local voice chat and a squad-only voice chat.

How to join a Squad in WARDOGS

Why should you party up in WARDOGS?

Partying up into a squad helps everyone on the team get a good idea of who is playing with who. With the help of squads, you can quickly identify where each squad is holding up or moving to. Additionally, within your own squad it’s much easier to identify each other due to the gold coloring of your squad mates. If a party member is down, you can see their revive icon as gold instead of green. On the mini-map, your squad members arrows are gold too.
