How to get tower codes - Wardogs

Collect or guess the tower codes and pull the Hot Zone toward your location.

Winning a match of Wardogs requires hitting 100 points, which only happens if you have the most players in the Control Zone. If you want to boost your numbers, you will need to jump into the Hot Zone, a randomly roaming area that can be pulled by towers. This is where the tower codes come into play.

How to get tower codes

Tower codes are acquired by hacking the terminal on the upper internal floor of a tower. Each tower will offer one digit in the code, so you will need to acquire the code from each tower or guess the digits. You can make three attempts before the panel locks and goes on cooldown.

The length of the code depends on how many towers are on a map. Sometimes there are as few as two towers while sometimes there are five. It’s obviously easier to guess a two-digit code than a five-digit one.

The point of activating a tower is to pull the Hot Zone to you, which will make any player within it count as two. This will help your team have more players in the Control Zone, which will net you points toward the win.

Tower codes aren’t the only way to pull the Hot Zone. You can build a drill in a FOB, deliver fuel to the FOB, and then activate it to pull the zone. The more fuel you have, the longer the drill will operate. The drill doesn’t need to be completely full of fuel, but it does have a minimum threshold you need to meet before it can be started.

Getting tower codes is just one piece of the puzzle to claiming victory in Wardogs. Even if you do manage to get all the codes, you better hope you can defend the position when you pull the zone to you. Check out our Wardogs page for more help with the intricacies of Bulkhead’s massive shooter.
