Why this number runs the game
WARDOGS' bank is persistent and dying costs the whole kit, so every fight is a wager of your kit price. Streamers call it "playing within your bankroll": if you can only afford your kit twice, you should be playing like it — or deploying a cheaper one. The optimizer builds kits under exactly this constraint (its default keeps three respawns banked), and the loadout builder shows the same respawn count as you assemble. Income sources — kills, captures, tips, revive bounties, crate reselling — will get real numbers here once the payout data is measured; see how to make money for the strategies meanwhile.
