Delta Force is a free-to-play tactical FPS, and it’s now available across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and mobile platforms. The game includes large-scale battles across various multiplayer game modes, and features a variety of different operators you can use, each with unique abilities.
The current roster of 11 operators each fall under one of four class-based roles: Assault, Engineer, Recon, or Support. They all offer unique abilities, and it helps to know how to best use them and how they can work together as a team.
You’ll only have four options by default, with one operator from each class, but the others can all be unlocked for free via the battle pass or in-game challenges.
Here we’ll guide you through each operator, their specific abilities, how to unlock them, and explain their best uses.

This assault-based operator is great for aggressive players. D-Wolf’s Motorized Exoskeleton gives him a dramatic speed boost, great for rushing enemies or objectives. He’s also the only operator who can slide, which is thanks to his Tactical Sprint trait.

He comes equipped with Tactical Flashbangs, and the Whirlwind Disc can lock on to an enemy, track them, and detonate to unleash shrapnel that slows and bleeds an opponent. His Deep Trauma trait also slows the healing of enemies he damages, and it causes them to have a slower revive time.

He can guide mini drones to cover a small area in smoke or deploy smoke grenades, making revives even easier to pull off.
Stinger is a great operator choice in general, but especially if you’re just starting out, as this allows you to play support and earn XP from revives. You can still level up in the medic role without needing to rack up a bunch of kills. You’ll also look like a good teammate.

- Gadget 2: Blinding Gas
Where Stinger is your straightforward medic, Toxik is geared more towards buffs and debuffs than just simple revives.

The Adreno-Boost buffs nearby allies to enhance their handling and reduce hit flinch, while the Blinding Gas temporarily blinds enemies in its range. Lastly, her Swift Healing will allow nearby allies to use their consumables faster.
While Toxik can be a great support operator to help keep friendlies alive, some squads will still want to have Stinger to help perform faster revives.
