Delta Force features a roster of unique operators spread across four different classes, with each class specializing in at least one playstyle. The difference between how each operator feels and plays is staggering, and players will want to figure out which character works best in specific scenarios if they want to get the most mileage out of them.
All operators are available in every game mode Delta Force has to offer, and while Warfare and Operations play very differently from each other, you can expect the characters to function more or less the same regardless of where they are. Here’s a guide covering all playable operators, their abilities and gadgets, as well as some tips on how to use them.
As of writing, Operators are unlocked via battle pass progression or events.

6 Best FPS Games With Mature 17+ ESRB Ratings
Most FPS games get slapped with a mature rating by default, but the following make the best use of their 17+ ESRB rating.
D-Wolf (Kai Silva – Assault)
D-Wolf is the quintessential run-and-gun character. His main ability, Motorized Exoskeleton, lets him run around the battlefield significantly faster than other operators, and so far, he’s the only character who can slide after sprinting. His job is to flank enemies with his superior speed and take hostiles out with his grenade launchers and primary weapon. D-Wolf is a great pick, even with just level one weapons, though his effectiveness largely hinges on player skill.

Arm-mounted grenade launcher that fires a three-round volley of grenades. Projectiles can stick to and damage vehicles. |

D-Wolf Tips
- Due to his aggressive nature, D-Wolf works best with weapons built for high handling and hipfire accuracy.

- Triple Blaster can be used to damage vehicles in a pinch, though it’s best used against infantry.
- Throw your Smoke Grenades at the enemy to force them into the open.
Vyron (Wang Yuhao – Assault)
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 spaces.

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 Force.

Best Tactical Shooters With A Focus On Realism
There is a wide variety of shooters out there for players to choose from, and that includes tactical shooters with impressive levels of realism.
Toxik (Zoya Pomchenkova – Support)
Toxik focuses more on offensive tactics compared to Stinger. Instead of healing directly with gadgets, she reduces the time it takes for passive health regeneration to start for nearby squadmates.

Luna (Luna Kim – Recon)
Luna’s kit bears a heavy resemblance to Sova from Valorant — she uses her bow to launch electric arrows that can deny ground as well as scanner arrows that let her entire team see enemies hiding behind smoke and solid cover.

Hackclaw (Mai Xiaowen – Recon)
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.
