Interview: Delta Force Dev Talks Series’ Legacy, Future Plans, and Balance

The AKM prides itself on being a familiar weapon, and its powerful yet untamed nature is already a staple. With accuracy-improving attachments , the end result works extremely well in open environme

Zero Dam’s underground tunnel to admin, Space City’s west gate , employee passage, and eastern bridge, to name a few, can give you a tactical advantage against teams and help you close distances without sprinting all over the

While shooters tend to aim for balance by making every weapon viable, there’s always some disparity and, hence, a few standout choices. The same phenomenon applies in Delta Force , with all the guns ranging from underwhelming to meta. You’ll notice this in matches, too — a large part of the playerbase uses only a handful of weap

Some attachments also provide horizontal recoil control, firing stability, camera stability, and many more bonuses. I’m not asking you to go into matches with million-dollar kits (which I usually prefer, going full gold), but at least have something that helps you tank a few shots in head-on fig

Knowing where I might get flanked is better than having no information at all. If my team spawns at the tunnel near the cement plant in Zero Dam and there are gunshots from the Riverbank and Barracks, I’d probably wait to third-party those te

**A solo player will have some aid as their max HP and ammo are buffed up a bit ** compared to what you start with in a co-op experience, but even so, the game will be much more manageable with some buddies along for the r

Better armor can tank more shots, and better ammo can shred high-tier armor. Attachments like the M157 Fire Control System optic (also known as the ‘cheater scope’) greatly help . You can spot enemies hiding in the bushes with the range fin

Whichever mode you play, whether it’s Warfare or Operations, there are chokepoints that you need to be wary of. Once held, unless you use an AoE skill or grenade, it’s hard to clear them. That’s why having a skill covering an entire corner is n

Three or four shots and the enemy is down, and if they’re headshots, enemies will barely have any time to react since it’ll instantly knock them down. With access to multiple ammo types, you can also use it in Easy mission mo

With Luna’s detection arrow covering a massive area, you can see enemies’ positions. Plus, Luna’s Detection arrow helps differentiate between hostile players and AI bots , making repositioning or taking cover eas

Q: Speaking of equipment, Delta Force has an extensive range of weapons and modifications. Can you talk about what the process is like coming up with these customization options and balancing their impact? It seems very complex and difficult to man

Enemies feel like they’re descending from all directions , so calling out targets, reviving teammates, and splitting up to clear out multiple routes of progression quickly become important survival tact

Game Rant recently sat down with game design director Ricky Liao to talk all about Delta Force strategy Force , including its place in the long-running first-person shooter series. Liao weighed in on how Delta Force aims to honor that legacy while bringing its own flare to the mix, along with sharing some plans and goals for the development team. This interview has been edited for brevity and clar

To keep things interesting, the game locks a good chunk of weapons behind specific classes and operators . Still, with 52 guns in total, including secondary weapons, there are only so many you can upgrade and invest in for the long run. Thus, knowing which weapons are truly overpowered can give you a significant edge over other players and make the grind a lot more worthwh

As a distant relative to the Bizon, the Vityaz keeps a familiar feature set — moderate fire rate, decent iron sight and range, relatively high damage, and smooth handling . Like the AK-12, though, it’s far too tempera

Oh man, it’s a love-and-hate relationship with Vyron’s ultimate. It’s an area-of-effect knockback shell that can hit enemies to throw them off their feet and leave them vulnerable to a push. However, it’s a double-edged sw

Sineva’s EOD set is unique among operators. It combines offense and defense. I’ve used the shield to aid rescue operations for allies and held chokepoints in Warfare mode . However, once the shield is up , Sineva is vulnerable from the ba

When you play the game long enough, you’ll know where the spawns are, and with the help of the bot’s gunshots, you’ll be able to figure out where the enemies might be. I mentally note potential teams’ locations once I hear a guns

Different games will have different ratios. For games like Rainbow Six , players will spend a lot of time observing and orienting because they need to gather enough information before deciding what kind of action to take. When it comes to the action part, it’s often very quick and swift. On the other hand, the situation is completely different for games like CoD. In CoD, you don’t spend a lot of time observing and orienting. You don’t need to gather much information — you just engage in combat. That’s the kind of model or philosophy we’re using to decide our TTK in the g
