Operators are the backbone of the Delta Force experience. With seven unique choices available at launch, every Operator brings something valuable to the battlefield. However, some stand head and shoulders above the rest, offering performance so strong that they can define the outcome of an entire match, whether you’re tackling Operations solo or battling it out with your squad in Warfare. While none of the Operators are completely ineffective, those at the bottom of the tier list require significantly more effort to make them shine.
This tier list dives into how well each Operator performs in various situations solo, in a team, and across different game modes. Whether it’s their overall utility, moment to moment gameplay impact, or ability to swing a match in your favor, we’ve evaluated them all.
The Big Picture
Every Operator in Delta Force has a role to play. Some excel as aggressive frontline fighters, others operate as stealthy reconnaissance experts, and a few shine as supportive teammates. With the right player behind the controls, even the so-called “weaker” Operators can become game-changers, especially in Operations mode. That said, some Operators naturally have the upper hand because of their versatility, utility, or raw power.
Our rankings look at several key factors:
- Offense and Defense: How well can they attack or protect?
- Support and Intelligence: Can they keep the team alive or provide vital info?
- Game Modes: How effective are they in Operations and Warfare?
The best Operators do more than just eliminate enemies or keep their teammates standing. The real MVPs do both disrupting enemies while amplifying their squad’s effectiveness.
S-Tier Operators: The Best of the Best
Stinger (Support)
Stinger is hands down the MVP of Delta Force. His healing abilities are unparalleled, making him the ultimate lifesaver in any mode.
- Why Stinger Stands Out:
In Operations, Stinger can turn the tide of a losing battle with his clutch healing, helping you recover from otherwise unwinnable situations. In Warfare, teammates will love having him around for his consistent support, and his healing even clears debuffs like broken limbs or concussions.
Hackclaw (Recon)
Hackclaw is a close second in the S-Tier. Her ability to gather intelligence is unmatched, making her invaluable in both team fights and one-on-one skirmishes.
- What Makes Hackclaw Shine:
Her Signal Decoder detects up to six enemies in a wide radius, while her Data Knife disrupts enemy abilities and offers precise intel. Together, these tools make her an essential pick for any squad. A well-timed Data Knife pulse can completely shift the momentum of a match.
A-Tier Operators: Strong Contenders
Toxik (Support)
oxik trades versatility for specialization, excelling in boosting nearby teammates.
- Key Strengths:
Use her Dragonfly ability to reduce screen flinch for allies while buffing their weapon handling. Her blinding grenade adds extra utility, but she lacks the universal impact of Stinger.
Luna (Recon)
Luna is all about long-distance enemy detection, making her a strong Recon Operator.
- What Sets Luna Apart:
Her Detection Arrows provide squad-wide intel, offering what are essentially “legal wall hacks.” Her Volt Arrows add supplementary ranged damage, and her Frag grenades can deliver devastating blows. However, Luna falls short of Hackclaw’s utility because she lacks the Data Knife’s disruptive power.
B-Tier Operators: The Situational Picks
D-Wolf (Assault)
D-Wolf is a classic “selfish” Operator who prioritizes personal firepower over team utility.
- Strengths and Weaknesses:
With a Motorized Exoskeleton and a Triple Blaster grenade launcher, he’s a combat powerhouse. However, his lack of meaningful team benefits keeps him in B-Tier.
Shepherd (Engineer)
Shepherd is all about area denial, making him a niche pick for specific scenarios.
- When Shepherd Works:
His Sonic Traps are great for early enemy detection, and his abilities shine in modes like Attack and Defend. However, his tools are too situational to rival top-tier Operators.
Vyron (Assault)
Vyron brings raw mobility and explosive power to the table but is too self-focused.
- What Vyron Offers:
His Crouching Tiger Tactical and Dynamic Propulsion skills allow for fast movement and unexpected flanks. While his Magnetic Bomb simplifies grenade throws, his lack of team utility makes him a less optimal choice.
Final Thoughts
While every Operator in Delta Force has potential, some rise above due to their versatility, power, and ability to adapt to any situation. Whether you're leading the charge with Stinger or gathering crucial intel with Hackclaw, your choice of Operator can define your experience. And even for those in the B-Tier, mastering their unique abilities can make them invaluable in the right hands.
Choose wisely and dominate the battlefield!
