Warhounds Wiki — Game Info, Classes, Combat & Base Guide

Warhounds — Game Infobox

Warhounds puts you in command of an elite mercenary squad in an alternative-future East Africa, 2035+. The region is being torn apart by the DAAMAT regime, a violent faction seizing power country by country. A president hires your crew — the Warhounds — to push back. Between missions you run a mobile base (a hijacked cargo ship), recruit and equip operators, manage finances, medical, logistics and downtime, and pick allied factions. Combat is turn-based with real ballistics: no point-blank misses, destructible cover, vertical gameplay and cone overwatch. Missions run 25–40 minutes and every contract has consequences.

This is a fan-maintained Warhounds wiki, not an official resource. Facts come from the Steam store listing, official announcements and hands-on coverage, and are updated as the game evolves.

Combat System

• True ballistics, no fake RNG — No point-blank misses and no bogus randomness. Every shot is resolved by honest physics — your angle, range, cover and line of fire. If you flank an enemy, you will see it in the hit chance.
• Action-point economy — Each turn you manage AP for movement, aiming, shooting, reloading and abilities. The "Go, go, go" command can feed an ally 1 AP to chain actions. Plan your points or waste your turn.
• Destructible cover — Cover is not permanent. Grenadiers, explosions and sustained fire destroy walls, crates and buildings, opening new sightlines and exposing enemies who thought they were safe.

Full rules in the Combat System guide — AP economy, cover, morale and squad orders.

Base & Campaign

• The ship base — Your mobile base is a hijacked cargo ship. It is cramped, with bays that need rebuilding. Move it away from the coast, then find an experienced crew to run it.
• Recruitment — The base computer holds personnel files of Warhounds candidates. Recruitment starts with fresh recruits; veterans can be added to the database later. Capacity is up to six recruits maximum.
• Facilities & upgrades — The barracks is a priority; staff quarters and other bays are built over time. You can run ops while construction is underway, so always keep the queue busy.
