Quick answer
WARDOGS includes proximity voice chat, and public wording allows nearby social interaction beyond simple squad-only comms. The exact hearing radius, keybinds, dead-player behavior, moderation flow, and accessibility options are not public yet.
What is proximity chat for?
It is for local, immediate information: enemy approach, vehicle sound, revive calls, transport pickup, route danger, and objective timing. Short callouts are more useful than long explanations when the score check is close.
Is squad communication separate?
Yes, official pages mentions squad communication tools separately from local voice. That suggests two coordination layers: one for nearby players and one for the squad. The exact channel priority and simultaneous-audio behavior still need live verification.
How should players use voice around the Control Zone?
Use voice to make decisions faster:
- Call the faction and direction, not just "enemy."
- Say if you can revive, transport, build, or spot.
- Warn before entering the Hot Zone with expensive gear.
- Keep vehicle comms short: pickup point, landing zone, threat, dismount.
Practical read
Do not assume final voice radius, open-mic options, enemy-audio rules, loudspeaker mechanics, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, reporting, muting, or server moderation settings until WARDOGS publishes or exposes them.
