Bushmaster M17S — WARDOGS Weapon Wiki
Bushmaster M17S is a WARDOGS assault rifle entry in the current public weapon dataset. This page is built as a practical Wiki record: identify the weapon, read the observed numbers, understand the role it is likely to fill, and then decide whether the cash cost fits the run you are planning.

What Bushmaster M17S is for
Bushmaster M17S fits the general-purpose infantry rifle part of the roster. In practical terms, that makes it most relevant to mid-range objective pushes, mixed terrain and flexible infantry work. That role description is more useful than treating the weapon as a universal “best” choice, because WARDOGS mixes travel distance, objective pressure, vehicle threats and persistent spending in the same life.
Economy check
From the $10,000 starting balance, the observed buy-in leaves $10,000 before ammunition, protection, medicine and attachments.
The budget question matters because WARDOGS cash persists between matches. A weapon purchase is not isolated from the rest of the loadout: ammunition, armor, medicine, backpack space and attachments all compete for the same balance.
Ammo, range and fire-rate context
- Ammunition: 5.56x45mm. Use the live vendor and current attachment UI as the final compatibility authority.
- Observed damage: 28. Do not convert one base number into a guaranteed armored or ranged TTK without controlled same-build testing.
- Effective range: 300 m. Treat this as a catalogue reference, not a promise that every fight at that distance is efficient.
- Rate of fire: 700 RPM. Higher rate changes ammunition use and follow-up speed as well as theoretical output.
- Weight: 3.17 kg. When recorded, weight belongs in the full kit decision rather than being read in isolation.
Same-class alternatives
Practical use checklist
- Decide the task before buying the weapon.
- Check the live vendor price and unlock state.
- Budget ammunition, protection and medical items after the weapon cost.
- Match the class to the terrain and the active Control Zone route.
- Re-check attachment compatibility in the current build.
- Compare results after several lives instead of judging the weapon from one fight.
