2️⃣ Game Modes Overview

1. Havoc Warfare (Large-Scale PvP)

Massive 32v32 battlefields combining infantry, vehicles, and objectives.
Capture key points, destroy enemy armor, and control the battlefield flow.
Core Tactics: “Vehicles press forward, infantry follow close, and smoke seals the push.”

2. Hazard Operations (PvPvE Extraction)

Three-player squads infiltrate, gather intel, fight both AI and other teams, then extract safely.
Golden Rule: “Loot smart, fight smart — extraction is victory.”

4️⃣ Operator Roles

Every operator in Delta Force: Hawk Ops serves a tactical purpose. Understanding your team’s composition is the key to survival and dominance.

RoleDescription
AssaultFrontline fighter. Breaches doors, clears rooms, leads pushes.
SupportProvides suppressive fire and resupply. Controls enemy movement.
ReconScout and marksman. Spots enemies, relays intel, eliminates key targets.
Engineer / Anti-TankDestroys enemy vehicles, repairs allies, and fortifies positions.
MedicKeeps the squad alive. Revives fallen allies and stabilizes the frontline.

💡 Recommended Team Composition (3-man Squad):

Assault + Support + Medic — the perfect balance between offense, sustain, and survival.

5️⃣ Combat & Movement

In Delta Force: Hawk Ops, survival comes from discipline — not chaos.

Golden Rules

  1. Suppress before moving. — Your gun isn’t for kills; it’s for control.

  2. Flank instead of rushing. — One good flank wins fights faster than brute force.

  3. Grenades first, men second. — Never enter a building without clearing it.

  4. Stay behind cover. — 2 seconds exposed = death.

  5. Move with purpose. — Every step should have a reason.

Engagement Types

RangeWeaponTactic
CloseSMG / ARBurst fire, crouch, pre-aim corners.
MediumAR / LMGUse short bursts, reposition often.
LongDMR / SniperOne shot, one move. Never stay exposed.

6️⃣ Vehicles & Countermeasures

Vehicles define large-scale warfare. Use them wisely — or be destroyed by them.

Vehicle Types

  • APC / Tank: Mobile fortresses that dominate open fields.

  • Helicopter: Air support for rapid insertion or extraction.

  • Light Vehicle: Quick transport for scouting and flanking.

Anti-Vehicle Strategy

  • Anti-Tank Operators:

    “Shoot from the flank, aim for still targets, fire twice if needed.”

  • Engineers:
    Lay mines, place explosives, and force enemy vehicles to reroute.

  • Team Coordination:
    Tanks suppress, infantry clears anti-tank zones, recon scouts airspace.

💡 Key Tip:
Always communicate before engaging armor — one misstep can cost the entire squad.

7️⃣ Extraction Economy

In Hazard Operations, survival isn’t about kills — it’s about what you bring home. Every bullet, medkit, and credit matters.

The Extraction Loop

  1. Infiltrate quietly from the map edge.

  2. Engage only when necessary — ammo is gold.

  3. Loot & Upgrade at Supply Stations.

  4. Extract before greed kills you.

Resource Priorities

ItemPriorityNote
Armor⭐⭐⭐⭐Always upgrade first; armor saves lives.
Ammo & Medkits⭐⭐⭐Keep one extra for your squad.
Weapons⭐⭐Stick to reliable guns; don’t risk expensive loadouts early.

💡 Survival Rule:

“If you can’t extract it, you never owned it.”

📸 Illustration: Three operators running toward a helicopter under fire, one carrying a loot bag while smoke flares mark the extraction zone.

8️⃣ Communication & Callouts

Voice communication is the backbone of Delta Force.
A silent squad is a dead squad.

5-Point Contact Report

Contact + Bearing + Distance + Cover + Count

Example:

“Contact, bearing 125, 200 meters, behind rocks, two hostiles!”

Essential Callouts

SituationCallout Example
Enemy Spotted“Visual on target — rooftop, east side!”
Medic Needed“Down! Need a medic on my position!”
Advance Order“Smoke out, push right in 3…2…1!”
Vehicle Alert“Enemy armor approaching from south road!”

💡 Tip:
Keep it short, clear, and calm. The first voice after chaos wins the fight.

9️⃣ Three-Day Training Plan

Day 1 — Mechanics & Control

  • Adjust sensitivity and FOV.

  • Learn recoil for 3 main weapons.
