What's New in Delta Force Season 5:

New Operations map Tide Prison, Warfare map Cyclone; new Assault Operator Claire (Codename: Tempest); new Boss Raven (Tide Prison); new weapons KC-17 Assault Rifle and Compound Bow; new Black Site Collection Room system, new vehicles, new attachments and Class Gadgets, plus event modes, extensive gameplay optimizations and bug fixes.

New Operator

Operator - Claire Ann Byers (Codename: Tempest)

• Operator Role: Assault
• Operator Trait - Auxiliary Surge Spine: Tempest’s auxiliary spine activates when bullets or explosions come too close, releasing electric currents that supercharge her core muscles. This temporarily boosts her sprinting speed. When not under pressure, it passively increases her swimming speed.
• Tactical Gear - Drill Charge: Tempest tosses a drill forward that can bust through tough surfaces. It then spews conductive powder and electric currents that pierce through the cover, disarming enemies and temporarily paralyzing them.
• Gadget - Combat Roll: This activates her auxiliary spine to amp up her core strength, letting her quickly roll in multiple directions. Successfully knocking down enemies reduces the gadget’s cooldown.
• Gadget - Emergency Evasion Device: After Tempest pops in a gas canister, this device fires a Safety Rope to secure an Anchor Point. If she reactivates the device or receives fatal damage, she'll be yanked back to that anchor spot.
• Operations Mode: When downed, Tempest can activate her spine to discharge a defibrillation burst, reviving herself once.
• Warfare Mode: During the rope pullback, Tempest briefly resists damage that would normally exceed her max HP.
• The Safety Rope will go into a suspended state if Tempest falls a certain distance.
• How to Unlock: Available in the free tier of the Season Pass.

New Boss - Raven

"Raven was once the former Ahsarah king's most cherished and brilliant son, but he was later betrayed and ended up a prisoner..."

Raven and his guards are always on the move throughout Tide Prison. They're incredibly dangerous, so you'll need to be extremely careful when engaging them.

New Vehicles, Attachments, Class Gadgets

Jet Ski in Delta Force Season 5 (Image via TiMi Group Studios)

• Jet Ski: A light watercraft that can carry two people.
• Compound Bow Diversified Arrowheads: These can be fired using the Compound Bow and are designed to suit different combat needs.
• Wire-Guided Missile: A portable anti-vehicle weapon for the Engineer class that can be remotely guided to hit targets.

New Action - Swimming

• Diving consumes oxygen. Resurfacing restores it. If you run out, your HP will gradually drain.
• You can choose between slow swimming or sprint swimming. Sprinting is faster but drains Stamina and depletes oxygen more quickly.
• While on the water's surface, you can use all weapons and gadgets. Underwater, weapons can't be fired, and only certain gadgets are functional.
• Weapons fired from above water can hit targets below, but bullet damage drops sharply after entering the water.
• In Operations, downed players can move slowly while underwater. In Warfare, downed players will float to the surface but can’t move until revived.
• In Operations, you can visit the Black Site - Diving Center to upgrade and boost your character's swimming-related abilities.

New System

Black Site Collection Room

• Collection Room: Show off your top-tier loot in the Collection Room! Here, you can unlock gallery entries, admire your collected items, and upgrade the room to unlock advanced display features.
• Fixed Assets: Your Black Site and Collection Room facilities will now count as fixed assets. These will be combined with your liquid assets (Stash assets and Tekniq Alloy) to calculate your Total Assets, which will be displayed on your personal homepage.

Operations

Tide Prison

• A new Operations map has been added: Tide Prison, where Hard operations will take place.
• Tide Prison is built on an isolated island. Its complex structure and eerie cells are truly chilling. Operators will play as "jailbreakers," receiving mission briefings, retrieving equipment, and launching into intense action.

Operator Balance Adjustments in Delta Force Season 5

Operator - D-wolf

We've noticed that players have really optimized precise throwing spots for blasters. To give targets more warning and time to dodge, we're increasing the sound propagation distance of blaster firing.

Duo Modes:

• Triple Blaster firing sound propagation distance: 50m → 100m.

Operator - Vyron

Vyron's high mobility and high-skill ability combo have led to performance data far exceeding other operators across all Operations maps. After observing for two seasons, we've decided to make minor numerical balance adjustments that won't impact his core gameplay loop. We’ll continue monitoring his performance.

Operations:

• Dynamic Propulsion: Cooldown: 15s → 25s.
• QLL32 Crouching Tiger: Cooldown: 70s → 90s.
• Dynamic Auxiliary System: The cooldown timer for the Dynamic Auxiliary System will now be displayed.

Operator - Nox

Since his debut, Nox has shown new combat approaches in certain advantageous situations. However, his overall strength still lags a bit compared to other Assault operators. So, we're hoping to slightly boost his movement speed bonus when he activates tactical gear, letting him execute flanking tactics more quickly.

Compared to other Assault operators, Nox's combat options in Warfare are limited. We've given Nox more gadgets to use in combat and will continue to monitor and optimize his performance in Warfare in upcoming versions.

All Modes:

• Silent Assault: Movement speed bonus: 10% → 15%.

Warfare:

• Whirlwind Disc: Maximum capacity increased from 1 to 2; initial ammo increased from 1 to 2.
• Tactical Flashbang: Initial ammo increased from 1 to 2.
• Silent Assault: Kill score changed from 60 to 100.

Operator - Toxik

After our last balance tweaks, Toxik has definitely climbed the operator strength ranks, encouraging more players to try him out in their team setups. We’re now looking to further enhance his offensive impact and overall feel, while also giving his Support role a healthy bump.

All Modes:

• Swarm Drone: We've added sound effects for enemies getting hit and increased the audio range for removing Flux UAVs. We also slightly increased the vertical flight range of Flux swarms, making them easier to hit targets on uneven terrain.
• Blinding Gas: Significantly reduced how much it bounces on the ground, so it takes effect quickly right where it lands.

Operations:

• Adrenaline: When Adrenaline is activated, Toxik and his squadmates will also temporarily become immune to movement speed and ADS speed penalties from gear.

Warfare:

• Adrenaline: When Adrenaline is activated, Toxik and his squadmates will also get a 10% movement speed bonus.
• Swarm Drone: Maximum HP reduction effect: 20 → 40.

Operator - Shepherd

Over the past two seasons, more and more Operators have discovered Shepherd's dominant position in defensive and underdog combat scenarios. However, getting knocked out by a Sonic Trap can be incredibly frustrating. To address this, we plan to slightly increase the audio range of Sonic Trap sound effects, giving players clearer warning cues to help them identify and counter the trap.

All Modes:

• Sonic Trap: Maximum sound propagation range: 7m → 8m, making it easier to clearly identify. We also slightly increased the audio range of the trap placement sound effects.

Operator - Uluru

In our previous balance adjustments, we found that sustained damage gadgets with a 5-meter radius work better with our maps. Therefore, in this update, we're also increasing the damage range radius of incendiary grenades to 5 meters.

All Modes:

• Composite Incendiary: Burn radius 4m → 5m.

Operator - Sineva

Operations:

• Grapple Gun: When the grappling gun pulls back dying operators or crates, you can now carry them mid-air during the return.
