How much money does a logistics run pay in WARDOGS?

A Ural filled with large crates measures about $3,050 and 22,500 XP per completed round trip (community-measured, Season 1). The run planner above scales it to your cargo and session.

How many kills does it take to break even on a Pawnee?

A fully-kitted pilot deploys about $17,150. At $1,500 per infantry kill and $10,000 per destroyed spawn vehicle, that is roughly 11 infantry kills or 2 spawn-vehicle kills per match before profit.

Do crates or pallets pay more in WARDOGS?

They do different jobs. Pallets feed a FOB: $400 each, 1,800 supplies. Crates are sell-from containers for the front line ($150–$800 by size and armor) — they carry no FOB supply and pay through a deploy reward (about $500) plus selling contents to other players.

How These Numbers Are Verified

Every figure in this calculator has a status. ✓ community-verified means it comes from a public r/WarDogs match ledger we could reproduce (two independent sources); database means it is pulled from a patch-synced third-party item database (MetaForge) — accurate as of the last patch but not independently reproduced yet; unverified means nobody has measured it — those fields are yours to fill, and your inputs travel in the share link.

FAQ

How much does a logistics run pay?: A full Ural of large crates measures ≈ $3,050 + 22,500 XP per completed round trip. Scale it with the run planner above. More cargo math in pallets vs crates.
How many kills to break even on a Pawnee?: ≈ 11–12 infantry kills or 2 spawn-vehicle kills for the $17,150 all-in deployment ($12,500 helicopter + ≈$4,650 gear). Run your own numbers in the break-even calculator.
Do crates feed a FOB?: No — that's pallets' job. All four pallet types (build, ammo, fuel, mechanical) cost $400 and carry 1,800 supplies each; deliver them to a FOB. Crates are portable shops: you fill them with ammo and meds, deploy them at the front, and earn a deploy reward (about $500 for a small crate in a zone) plus whatever your contents sell for. Full comparison in pallets vs crates.
Why are some fields empty?: Because nobody has measured them publicly yet, and we don't publish guessed numbers. Fill them with your own in-game measurement — your inputs are saved in the share link, not on our side.
