About War Footing Wiki

War Footing Wiki is an independent fan site with guides and reference pages for War Footing.

How these guides are written

Each guide starts from material we can point to: the official store or game page, developer announcements and patch notes, other web pages about the game found by search, player discussions, and dated gameplay videos.

How we check them

Before a guide is published, an automated check compares it with that material. Figures such as prices, stats, percentages and dates have to appear in the material, and statements about codes, rewards, odds and official channels have to be backed by it. The rest is compared claim by claim, and a guide in which too much is unsupported fails as well. A guide that fails is corrected once against the material; if it still fails, it is not published.

Updates

Every guide shows the date it was last updated. Game updates can change what a guide describes, so check the official pages when something no longer matches the game.
