The WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra is the new Support light machine gun added in Season 2. It unlocks at Support level 30 for a one-time $200,000 fee, then costs $7,250 each time you buy one from the Primary weapon vendor. The unlock includes its 50-round box magazine.
It uses .308 Winchester ammunition and can be switched between semi-auto and full-auto. The Evo-3 Ultra fires at 700 RPM, has a 790 m/s muzzle velocity and weighs 6.3 kg. Its two dedicated Support unlocks come later: the Evolys Bipod at level 33 and the SL7i-BL Suppressor at level 40.
How to unlock the WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra
You need to reach Support level 30, which takes 318,200 Support XP on the Season 2 progression curve, then pay $200,000 to unlock the WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra and its Evolys 50 RND Box. Once the permanent unlock is paid, another Evo-3 Ultra costs $7,250 and a replacement 50-round box costs $110.
The Evo-3 Ultra arrives after the PKM and M249 in the revised Support track. Season 2 moved the PKM down to level 15 and the M249 to level 20, so level 30 is now the point where the new .308 LMG becomes available.

WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra stats in Season 2
The WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra fires at 700 RPM, with a 790 m/s muzzle velocity and a listed 1,000 m effective range. It weighs 6.3 kg, takes a 6×2 space in your inventory and can be fired in semi-auto or full-auto. Its zeroing range runs from 100 m to 500 m.
Season 2 reduced the base damage of .308 Winchester by 25% across weapons using the calibre. LMG body multipliers were also brought closer to assault-rifle values, so the Evo-3 Ultra launches into a different damage model from the one older .308 comparisons were built around.

WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra attachment unlocks
The WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra has slots for an optic, foregrip, magazine and muzzle. You can use existing compatible sights and grips as soon as the gun unlocks, then add its dedicated Support attachments as you continue levelling.
The two dedicated progression attachments are the Evolys Bipod and SL7i-BL Suppressor. The bipod unlocks at Support level 33 for $75,000 and costs $1,450 from the vendor after that. The suppressor unlocks at level 40 for $35,000 and costs $1,400 each time you buy one.
| Attachment | Support level | Unlock cost | Vendor price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evolys Bipod | 33 | $75,000 | $1,450 |
| SL7i-BL Suppressor | 40 | $35,000 | $1,400 |
Best WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra attachments
The Evolys Bipod is the best fit if you regularly fire from cover or hold an objective. Once deployed, it cuts vertical recoil, horizontal recoil and weapon sway heavily, which makes longer bursts much easier to keep on target.
The SL7i-BL Suppressor arrives later at Support level 40. It slightly improves vertical recoil, horizontal recoil and spread, but adds a 10% ADS-time penalty. You can still build the gun around other compatible optics, grips and muzzle parts before reaching level 40.
How the Evo-3 Ultra compares with the PKM and M249
The WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra weighs 6.3 kg, while the PKM and M249 both weigh 7.5 kg. That makes the new LMG noticeably lighter, but it is also the most expensive of the three to replace.
An Evo-3 Ultra costs $7,250 per purchase, compared with $4,100 for the PKM and $3,200 for the M249. Repeated deaths get expensive quickly at that price, so the older LMGs remain cheaper choices while you are rebuilding cash after the Season 2 wipe.
Is the WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra worth unlocking?
If Support is one of your main roles, the WARDOGS Evo-3 Ultra is worth unlocking once you reach level 30. The $200,000 fee is the painful part, but it is permanent; after that, the ongoing cost is $7,250 each time you need another gun.
If you are already happy with the PKM or M249 and want to keep loadout costs down, there is no rush to replace them. The Evo-3 Ultra earns its place when you want the lighter 6.3 kg weapon and the dedicated bipod and suppressor progression that comes with it.
