Delta Force: Hawk Ops Preview - A Satisfying Free-To-Play FPS Cocktail

Take the time to learn the layouts and best spots

It is going to take some time to learn everything there is to know about the maps in the game . Each one has its own quirks and spots where players can expect to rack up some kills. Players should not expect to know these right away and give themselves the time to find t


However, that doesn't mean that the first Delta Force weapons available are necessarily terrible options. In fact, some of them can be just fine to take into a match. It all depends on knowing which ones work the best and that's why this guide is here to lay out which ones are worth choos


Vyron may not be as fast as D-Wolf, but he has much higher maneuverability . He can use his Dynamic Propulsion skill to rapidly dash towards a chosen direction , giving him an easy way to engage or retreat. Vyron's main ability equips him with a grenade launcher that knocks enemies down over a large area, rendering them harmless and vulnerable to damage, making this operator a great pick for breaching tight spa


Easily the best weapon that players can use at Level 1, the CAR-15 assault rifle can do pretty much everything that somebody would need it to. It has good range, solid damage, and allows players to engage from both a distance and up close. It can handle just about anything in the game and will give players the best chance to find success in the early stages as they level


Hackclaw specializes in tracking, disruption, and stealth. She uses her Signal Decoder to reveal the general location of the three closest enemies to her , giving her increased situational awareness when skulking behind the enemy team. Additionally, she can use throwing knives to disable gadgets and a drone that emits blinding flashes of light , both of which are great for assaulting targ


So far, the highlighted long-range weaponry has not included a gun purely dedicated to that kind of fighting. That changes with this rifle, which is all about trying to pepper enemies while crouched or lying down a ways away from them. The Mini-14 has a good range in its base form that can be improved upon with the right attachments as w


The issue with the M16A4 is not even really that much of an issue at all, and it's just that it is pretty unassuming. While it isn't bad, it just also doesn't do enough as an assault rifle to separate itself from the other options. The other two available each bring something that gives them a slight edge, but that doesn't mean players can't use this one effectively. It just might not be as flashy as the other opti


There are a lot of weapons to choose from in Delta Force , with all of them becoming available at specific levels. As players progress, they will unlock more and more guns that they can bring with them into battle. This makes the grind a worthwhile experience that offers enticing rewards for completing the progress


Updated on March 15th, 2025, by Nathan Halsey: Delta Force campaign Force has entered its second season, adding a new character as well as some balance refreshers. Since this article was originally written, more time has been spent with and around the current arsenal of weapons, and as more is learned of the game, a meta has become clearer. It should also be noted that in Delta Force tactics Force's Warfare mode, Battle Rifles and Assault Rifles are placed within the same weapon category, having no real distinction aside from having different challenge progression. This article will use the term Assault Rifle to refer to both of them, as the distinction is seldom referenced in the game and within the Warfare community, and the use-case for each weapon is nearly identi


While not as proficient as the G3 at pressuring snipers, it is much more forgiving in typical Assault Rifle ranges, as well as at closer range, being able to stand up to submachine guns as well. This allows the Scar-H to be effective right out of the gate, and it only gets better as players put some practice time into using the gun and level it


Light machine guns are always going to deliver an insane amount of bullets in a short amount of time. This one is no different, and it provides some excellent suppression when a team needs it. Laying down cover fire as a person's teammates move up to an objective can be a huge help, while also being able to lay into a vehicle that goes by is always n


Stinger is a combat medic who can provide a ton of support to his team . Apart from healing, reviving, and resupplying teammates, he often leads the charge by providing smokescreens to cover the team's advance . Stinger doesn't have the offensive capabilities of the Assault characters, but he can be just as deadly with weapons like the CAR-15 or AKS-74 in Delta For

I recently had the chance to go hands-on with Hawk Ops at a preview event that let me try out two of its three distinct game modes while chatting to Team Jade's studio head Leo Yao about bringing the series back. The first of Hawk Ops' core modes is a more traditional multiplayer shooter experience called Havoc Warfare, which is essentially Delta Force’s answer to Battlefield’s Conquest mode and features two large teams either trying to take control of or defend points around a map.
