- Cosmetics and supportBuy Supporter only if the published pack contents justify the extra cost. [steam-supporter]
Trade-offs
- Value boundaryThe extra $10 pays for the listed Supporter Pack, not a stronger gameplay edition. [steam-supporter]
The listed cosmetics include three starter-weapon camos, a Littlebird helicopter 'Taxi' camo, a scoreboard supporter icon that can be hidden, and grenade and helmet bobbleheads. BULKHEAD says there will be no other WARDOGS monetization during Early Access. [steam]
What the extra $10 buys
-
Choose the base edition if you only need game access.
-
Choose Supporter only if the listed cosmetics and developer-support purpose justify the $10 difference.
-
Verify the package contents on Steam before purchase.
Choose it for cosmetics, not power
Cosmetics do not imply gameplay power. Package contents and pricing can change through a store update. [steam-supporter]
