All Delta Force game modes, explained

Delta Force has a few distinct modes with individual progression tracks and even events. There’s a lot to do for any kind of player, whether you’re looking for all-out warfare or want to try out Delta Force’s take on the extraction mode.

Here’s every game mode in Delta Force and what you can expect from it.

Every game mode in Delta Force

Warfare

Warfare is a Battlefield-style mode focused solely on infantry and vehicle combat with a few features seemingly inspired by Call of Duty games. Much like in Battlefield, you can pick your operator tied to a specific class, select a loadout, and jump into the game with a squad of teammates. As you play the mode, you’ll unlock more weapons and attachments.

Throughout the match, you also earn points by eliminating opponents and capturing objectives. You can then spend these points on gadgets, like Vehicle Drop or Guided Missile, which are basically a form of scorestreaks in Delta Force.

There are a few game modes within Warfare that you can try out. Some of these modes are on a rotation or are limited time, so we have lists of currently active game modes and a list of those that are out of rotation.

Active modes

• Attack and Defend: Attackers must capture two objectives in the sector to advance to the next one, while the defenders must stop them at all costs. The attackers also have limited reinforcements, while the defenders have unlimited.
• King of the Hill: Two teams fight over sectors with objectives. Capturing all objectives within a sector grants strategic resources and whichever team reaches the target amount wins.
• Blitz: Quick King of the Hill mode with fewer objectives and random base respawns.
• Siege: Multiple objectives in a single sector on a smaller map, emulating the last stage of traditional Attack and Defend mode.
• Top Voted: A mode voted by the community. The mode and map session change every two days.
• Field Training: PvE version of the Attack and Defend mode. This mode doesn’t award EXP.

Inactive modes (out of rotation)

• Attack and Defend – Shafted: Attack and Defend only on the Shafted map.
• Attack and Defend – Threshold: Attack and Defend only on the Threshold map.
• Attack and Defend – Trench Lines: Attack and Defend only on the Trench Lines map.
• Hill of Iron: King of the Hill with more tanks and other heavy vehicles.
• King of the Hill – Shafted: King of the Hill only on the Shafted map.

Operations

Operations is an extraction mode, similar to Escape from Tarkov. Unlike Tarkov, though, the games in Delta Force are shorter and more arcade-ish. You don’t have to manage every aspect of your loadout and spend hours in the bushes, but you still must be careful and aware of your surroundings.

In Operations, you select your equipment, which may include one or two weapons, ammunition, healing, items, armor, and storage, and choose a mode and map to deploy to.

There are two main modes in Operations:

• Hazard Operation: Hazard Operations are classic extraction mode games. Explore the map, collect loot, complete side objectives, or hunt other players. After you extract the loot, you can use it in future operations, sell it to earn Tekniq Alloys or upgrade and craft new things at your base of operations. Every raid takes around 30 to 35 minutes, depending on the map and difficulty, but you can always extract earlier if you found valuable items or completed a mission you wanted to. If you die, you lose everything you had except for what was in the Safe Box. Don’t worry, though; you get Gear Tickets when you die, which set you up with the base gear for the next run.
• Raid: Raids are PvE missions. Use the gear from your stash to go through multiple stages of a mission filled with AI enemies and complete objectives. Unlike Hazard Operations, you don’t lose your gear if you die in Raids.

Black Hawk Down

Black Hawk Down is an upcoming multiplayer campaign in Delta Force. The campaign reimagines the 2001 movie and the classic Delta Force series campaign. The mode isn’t available yet but is scheduled to be released in January 2025, closer to the game’s console release.
