WARDOGS runs Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), so you need DMA firmware made for EAC. That's Advanced, the Premium tiers or MiTM.
Last checked: October 22, 2026. WARDOGS is in Early Access and Bulkhead can change its anti-cheat in any update, so if you're reading this much later, ask before you pay.
What WARDOGS is
WARDOGS is a 100 player shooter from Bulkhead where three teams fight over a control zone. It came out in Early Access on Steam on September 10, 2026, for Windows PC only. Its Steam page lists kernel-level Easy Anti-Cheat. Bulkhead doesn't officially support Linux or Steam Deck yet.
The firmware for WARDOGS
| Firmware | CPU | People on a device | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced | AMD or Intel | No limit | 1 month |
| Premium T1 | AMD or Intel | Up to 50 | 1 month |
| Premium T2 | AMD or Intel | Up to 25 | 1 month |
| Premium T3 | AMD or Intel | Up to 5 | 3 months |
| MiTM | AMD or Intel | Only you | While your key is renewed |
Each one needs a 75T or 100T card, like our GODLIKE 100T, and a board from 2020 or newer. Private VGK + EAC runs it too, while Private VGK only doesn't support EAC.
- Advanced, if you're on a budget.
Our cheapest firmware for EAC. - Premium, if you want fewer people on your device.
Fewer people on a device means fewer chances for it to collect bans (T1 vs T2 vs T3). - MiTM, if you want a device that's only yours.
You renew a key instead of paying once (MiTM firmware). - If you also play VALORANT.
Private VGK + EAC covers both on Intel.
What Bulkhead does about cheating
On September 18, 2026, Bulkhead turned off Steam Family Sharing for WARDOGS, because banned players were using shared copies to get back in. Bulkhead says a banned cheater has to buy the game again and gets banned again. It also updated its anti-cheat right before launch.
Bulkhead hasn't said anything public about DMA, so we don't know if it checks for cards beyond what EAC does. How people get caught in any game is in Is DMA detectable?
Everything can and will be detected eventually no matter what anyone says, but our firmware has had a good track record so far. If a firmware gets detected, we stop sales and alert all people on it.
What else you need
- A second computer to run your software, see Second PC for DMA.
- Software that supports WARDOGS. None of the software we suggest lists it right now, so ask on the support forum what people run for it.
- A fuser or a second monitor to see it (Best video fuser for DMA).
- An aim device, if you want aim. MAKCU is the one we recommend, and What is a DMA aimbot? says how it fits in.
Common questions
- Does WARDOGS use BattlEye?
No, its Steam page lists Easy Anti-Cheat. - Does it work on AMD?
Yes, all the firmware in the table runs on AMD and Intel (DMA on AMD). - Is WARDOGS on console?
No, it's on Windows PC through Steam only, and our firmware is made for PC anyway.
