If you are of the tricked out operator inclination, this build will help you live out your dreams. Featuring a collapsible SMG-style stock and a short barrel, this is a CQB behemoth that is plenty capable at longer engagement ran

Technically an SMG in Delta Force despite firing the same 9x39mm round as the AS VAL, the SR-3M was a monster on release until its effective range was nerfed. This doesn’t change much since the armor penetration and HP damage remain the s

Delta Force does the mighty carbine justice, highlighting the good handling, firepower, and modularity that have made it so popular. The M4A1 is also one of the starter weapons in Operations mode , and it is quite affordable next to some other boomsti

Shotguns are the sledgehammers of close-quarters combat. Few video game experiences match the thrill of swinging through a doorway, blasting an enemy to bits, then pumping the gun to chamber the next sh

At the time of its introduction, the M16A2 got a lot of heat from grunts transitioning from the M16A1. The new rifle had a heavier barrel and stock and traded the full-auto mode for a three-round bu

This is where the weapons start getting dicey . You’ll notice a lot of them are way too niche, have clear outlying weaknesses, or are plain inferior copies of guns in the higher tiers. These factors come into effect when you’re playing Warfare, and they’ll regularly keep you underneath the top performers because of their negati

I prefer to play Stinger or Toxik since I specialize in support roles, play the backline, and check my team’s flank. I’ll get to know if someone’s tailing and instantly smoke their line of sight to set up a hasty amb

The AKS-74 is a standout from the jump, and it only gets better with attachments. The driving force behind what makes the AKS-74 so good is its predictability; it kicks hard, but its recoil is almost completely verti

Chambered in the same 5.56x45mm caliber of the M16A2 and CAR-15, the M249 takes advantage of the round’s soft recoil to allow the shooter to put down accurate sustained fire without needing to use bipods or resting the wea

These weapons aren’t completely interchangeable, but they both fulfill a specific role in the Assault Rifle category: close-range combat . Both of these weapons have very high rates of fire, and very high DPS, but weaker innate Control (which dictates weapon ki

If you are struggling for inspiration or are getting your rear-end kicked in more often than you can afford, these are six of the best M4A1 builds in Delta Force you should try before deserting to the AK side of things . Check out our Operations Mode Guide while you’re at it if you need an extra hand , and happy hunt

If two teams are fighting each other, there’s a high chance they won’t watch their flank. They’re focused on each other, healing, repairing, and repositioning, which makes it easier to figure out their locati

Still at the top, even after the nerf to the limb multiplier. The M250 LMG requires heavy investment, but the gun shreds enemies to pieces. Featuring more than 50 armor penetration and HP damage , the gun is a monster to go agai

Unlike the M14 though, the M21 you get in Black Hawk Down is the sniper version without a fire mode selector. The difference is negligible in practice, considering how hard the M14 is to control during automatic f

This tier highlights the cream of the crop among Delta Force’s weapons catalog . You’ll usually find half of the lobby using these guns, and for good reason — their time-to-kill (or TTK) has virtually no competition , and you can even make them “laser-like” with the right loado

This makes keeping the recoil a simple downward movement, which in turn makes the weapon much easier to use at range, sporting good damage, and surprisingly good hip-fire, the AKS-74 is a great pick across ran

The QBZ is a monster at mid-range and one of the best Assault Rifles. In terms of fire rate and handling it feels like a middle-ground between the AKS-74 and the CAR-15. It functions well on both sides of the middle-range spectrum, making it perfect for canted sights and variable z

Updated on March 15th, 2025, by Nathan Halsey: Delta 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 story guide 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

The M16A2 has a full-length barrel, which makes it ungainly when working in the confined homes of Mogadishu. While 5.56x45mm NATO is punchy, the lack of full auto stresses me out in CQB since you can’t do a panic mag dump . The rate of fire is worka
