Wargear

The confirmed upgrade category used to answer threats, with published examples and no guessed efficiency table.
Upgrades matched to threats
The multiplayer AMA says that many units have weapons and Wargear that are particularly effective against masses of units. It gives the Slugga Boyz’ Burna and the Monolith’s Particle Whip as examples. The developer then says that choosing the right upgrades for the right threats and using abilities at the right time can swing a battle. That confirms Wargear as a category of selectable combat equipment, not just a cosmetic label.
The same answer connects Wargear to tactical micro and the need to respond to the threat in front of the army. The examples show area-of-effect answers to groups, but they do not establish that every Wargear option works against every massed unit or that one choice is always superior. The mechanic is about matching an upgrade to a situation.
Published examples, unpublished table
The AMA also says that certain Wargear can negate cover, including flamers or grenades, and that melee combat forces units out of cover. This gives the category a second documented role: some equipment changes how a defensive position protects a unit. The source does not call every flamer or grenade a universal answer, and this page does not make that leap.
No source used here provides the full Wargear catalogue, costs, research requirements, range values or comparative damage. Those are the data needed for a tier list or a matchup prescription, and they are not available before release. The confirmed information is the category, the named examples and the threat-response principle.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
