WARDOGS Standard vs Supporter Edition: what the extra £9 buys
The Supporter Edition is the standard game plus the Supporter Pack for £9 more (£45.99 vs £36.99). You get three starter-weapon camos, three faction-branded rifle camos, a "Taxi" Littlebird helicopter skin, a Supporter scoreboard icon and two bobbleheads. Purely cosmetic, buyable later as DLC. Worth it if you want to fund the studio or like the camos; skip it if you're not sure you'll stick with the game.

BULKHEAD has said the game's price rises at full release, so Early Access is the cheapest entry either way.
Is it worth it
- Yes if you played the beta, you're in, and £9 to have the only camos that will ever be sold as a pack sounds fine.
- No if you're on the fence. Buy Standard, play the launch week, add the pack later if you're still in it. Nothing is missed by waiting.
What BULKHEAD has said about monetisation
The public line is no direct camo sales during Early Access, with the Supporter Pack as the single exception. It's a live-service shooter from a Team17-published studio, so expect a cosmetics model after 1.0; nothing has been specified. Gameplay content (maps, weapons, vehicles) is described as free updates through Early Access.
Refunds
Standard Steam rules: under two hours played and within 14 days. EAC installation and the shader compile count toward the two hours, so if you're testing whether it runs, check the system requirements first and don't idle on the menu.
