Delta Force: Mai Xiaowen – Practical Combat Guide

Four Core Skills

Signal Breaker (X Key, Core Equipment)

Press the skill key to activate.
Periodically scans a 60-meter radius and a 140° forward cone, detecting enemy electronic signals and tracking up to 6 targets.
Tracks appear on the smart contact lens display (closest target in red, aimed target in yellow).

The first scan reveals enemy operator types, armor levels, and numbers.
The second scan only updates enemy numbers.
Cooldown: 120 seconds.

Notes:

• Enemies at close range can hear the activation sound.

• Targets being scanned will see their screen shake as the distance closes.

• Ideal for checking resource points, buildings, and areas before approaching, providing data for tactical decisions.

Flash Drone (V Key, Tactical Equipment)

After being thrown, it flies forward (max distance ~45 meters) and can bounce off surfaces.
When locking onto an exposed enemy, it emits a 0.7-second blue warning light, then releases strong flash blindness.

If thrown along the yellow trajectory line marked by the Signal Breaker, the drone automatically tracks the target.

Blindness Effects:

• Targets on-screen: 3s white-out + 3s blur

• Targets off-screen: 0.3s white-out + 0.7s blur

• Within 3 meters, maximum duration is applied
  Cooldown: 60 seconds

Flash effects work even inside smoke, suitable for assault or retreat, and can be triggered while hip-firing.

Data Blade (G Key, Throwable)

Direct hit deals 125 base damage
(Instant kill on chest for enemies with level 4 or lower armor; kills bots; executes downed enemies)

After landing, it silences all enemy electronic devices (Signal Breaker, Exoskeleton, etc.) within 10 meters for 10 seconds
(Crosshair shows a star-shaped indicator)

Also activates locked car doors, elevators, and other interactable devices.
Cooldown: 40 seconds

This skill works through walls, and emits beeping sounds after landing—useful for confirming enemy presence or probing corners.

Silent Movement (Passive Skill)

When moving while walking silently or crouch-walking:

• Movement speed increases by ~20%

• Noise is drastically reduced (nearly undetectable unless very close)

• Footstep frequency increases, improving stealth approach ability

This greatly enhances flanking and ambush potential and reduces the risk of detection during infiltration.

Operation Techniques

Use the Signal Breaker first to scan the area, obtain enemy count, positions, and armor information, then combine with other skills depending on the situation.

Offensive Combo: “Scan → Mark → Blind → Assault”

1. Lock onto target using the Signal Breaker (trajectory line turns yellow).

2. Throw Flash Drone to track and blind the target.

3. While enemy vision is blocked, approach using Silent Movement.

4. Finish the target with weapons or Data Blade.

For zones crowded with enemy devices, throw Data Blade first to silence devices before attacking to avoid counter-skills.

Defensive Usage

• Use Signal Breaker to monitor key routes.

• On detecting enemies, throw Flash Drone to disrupt their push.

• Use Data Blade to block enemy device usage, giving teammates more reaction time.

Movement Tips

Move silently or crouched whenever possible to maximize the passive skill’s benefit.

• During urban fights, use terrain for repeated scanning and flash disruptions.

• In open fields, be cautious with Flash Drone usage (higher chance to miss).

Recommended Weapons

• Primary: SMG-45 (high fire rate, excellent for close-range ambushes)

• Secondary: F97 Glock19

• Attachments: Prioritize suppressor (stealth enhancement) and extended magazine (sustained firefights)

Practical Combat Tips

(Fire Zone Mode Example)

Infiltration & Search

• Activate Silent Movement and move using terrain cover.

• Scan resource points/buildings ahead with the Signal Breaker.

• Mark key targets and share intel with the team.

Encounters

1v1:
Data Blade direct hit or device silence → Flash Drone blind → SMG pressure fire
Multi-target:
Scan and mark → teammates flank → throw Flash Drone at core targets → grenade/SMG disrupt enemy formation

Point Attack & Defense

Attack:
Scan enemy distribution inside point → Data Blade to silence defensive devices → Flash Drone to blind gate guards → push during chaos
Defense:
Deploy Flash Drones and Blades in corridors → monitor movement with Signal Breaker → repeatedly disrupt enemy rhythm → coordinate crossfire

Extraction Phase

• Scan extraction area with Signal Breaker

• Throw Data Blade ahead to block ambushes

• Blind pursuers with Flash Drone

• Escape rapidly with Silent Movement to open safe routes for teammates
