How To: Squad Up (LFG + Finding [KNL] Servers)

Why this matters

WARDOGS is built around teamplay — support actions pay real cash, proximity/squad voice assumes coordination, and a six-role squad (Assault, Medic, Recon, Support, Driver, Pilot) consistently outperforms six solo players. Squadding up isn't optional flavor, it's how the game's own systems are meant to be played.

Finding a squad in The Kennel's Discord

Head to #looking-now and either use the Find / Create a Squad panel or the /lfg command.
The LFG wizard asks for Region, Role, Languages, and Squad Size, pre-filled from your onboarding role selections if you've set them.
Creating a squad spins up a host-controlled temporary voice channel and posts an LFG card in #looking-now with a Join-Voice button, pinging your selected region role.
There's a per-user cooldown between LFG posts (5 minutes) — plan your post rather than spamming retries.
If you'd rather join an existing squad, jump straight into an open temp-voice channel from an active LFG card instead of posting your own.

Setting up your profile roles first

Before you LFG, set your Region, combat role(s), language(s), and playstyle (Standard/Hardcore) via Discord's native onboarding or in #choose-your-role. This is what makes the LFG tool actually pre-fill useful defaults for you, and what lets the region-ping feature reach the right people.

Finding [KNL] servers in-game

WARDOGS uses a server browser, not automated matchmaking — admins run their own dedicated servers. To find The Kennel's:

Open the in-game server browser.
Search [KNL].
Join a listed [KNL] server for your region (EU is live at launch; NA/OCE/Asia expand as the community grows).

Common mistakes

Queuing solo and wondering why support actions (revives, transport, supply) never come your way.
Posting an LFG request with no role/size specifics, making it hard for others to know if they fit.
Never setting up Discord onboarding roles, missing the region ping when someone nearby is looking for exactly your role.
Forgetting to search [KNL] specifically in the server browser — WARDOGS has no auto-matchmaking into community servers.
