How to Use Stream Deck with WARDOGS

Last updated:

WARDOGS combines large-scale firefights with vehicles, logistics, building, and team communication. With Stream Deck, you can keep useful tools and recording controls close by without crowding your keyboard with more shortcuts.

Calculate artillery range and azimuth

The WARDOGS Artillery Calculator plugin calculates the azimuth and range between your artillery position and a target. After you copy both sets of coordinates from WARDOGS, the results appear directly on a Stream Deck key.

This gives mortar and artillery players the information they need without calculating it manually or switching to a separate tool. If you frequently provide long-range support, it can make repositioning and selecting new targets faster.

Download it from Elgato Marketplace.

Coordinate with your squad through Discord

WARDOGS includes in-game voice chat, but Discord can help premade squads stay connected. With the Discord plugin for Stream Deck, you can join a specific voice channel, mute your microphone, deafen Discord audio, or open a preset text channel from your profile.

Each action displays its current status on your Stream Deck key, so you can quickly check whether your microphone or audio is active.

Capture WARDOGS moments with OBS Studio

WARDOGS matches can produce clip-worthy firefights, vehicle encounters, and squad moments that are difficult to anticipate. With the OBS Studio plugin for Stream Deck, you can control recording or streaming without opening OBS during a match.

Save Replay is especially useful for WARDOGS. When OBS Replay Buffer is active, tapping the action saves the previous section of gameplay, so you can capture something that already happened.

You can also start or stop recording, take screenshots, mute audio sources, and switch scenes from your Stream Deck profile. Real-time status displays show whether actions such as recording, streaming, or Replay Buffer are currently active.

Load your WARDOGS controls automatically

A Smart Profile allows you to automatically display your WARDOGS layout whenever the game is in focus. When you close the game or switch to another application, Stream Deck returns to the profile assigned to that application.

Set up your WARDOGS Smart Profile after you finish arranging its actions:

  1. Launch WARDOGS and open Stream Deck software.
  2. Select the Settings icon.
  3. Open the Profiles tab.
  4. Select your WARDOGS profile.
  5. Open the Application menu and choose WARDOGS, then close or minimize Stream Deck software, or else Smart Profile won’t work.

Stream Deck will now load the profile when WARDOGS becomes the foreground application.

Build your profile around how you play

Improve your WARDOGS experience with your Stream Deck, whether its specialized calculators, communication controls, or recording actions that support how you play. Browse Elgato Marketplace to find more plugins and profiles for your WARDOGS setup.
