Kolchia Logistics Ring
The other 252 km² — spawn, safe zone, and why Pilot is a real job.
Every WARDOGS map is 256 km². Only a randomized 4 km² Control Zone is scored. The rest is a logistics problem: you respawn in the safe zone with no countdown, and the clock is however long it takes to reach the fight. BULKHEAD framed that travel time as the death penalty on purpose. This page is that ring — faction spawns (Lonestar / Valkyra / Manticore), vehicle vendors, lifts, and why buying a helicopter for four teammates can print more cash than your rifle ever will. Learn it on Bakurani's valley road first, then stop walking Zestafona.

Key spots
Safe zone / deploy
Where death sends you. Buy the next kit here. Do not leave on foot if the zone is a mountain away.
Faction spawns
Lonestar (blue), Valkyra (red), Manticore (green) start split. Call your colour. Friendly fire is a wallet tax.
Vehicle vendor
Transport is a purchase, not a spawn power. A lift that arrives for the tick is an objective play.
River crossings / bridges
On Bakurani they concentrate traffic. Ambush food. Alternate or fly.
Landing zones near the Hot Zone
Do not land in the blob. Offset, dismount, walk the last 150 m. Helicopters on the Hot Zone are tracers.
Play notes
- Cash for transporting friendlies into the zone is a listed teamplay reward on the Steam page. Use it.
- A negative wallet still gets free starter gear. Catch a lift; do not pride-walk a 4 km return.
