In Delta Force, relying solely on “rat gameplay”—where you hide until you find a clear shot—can only get you so far. Eventually, you will need to confront your opponents, making your choice of weapon critical to your success.
Not every player has the budget for fully kitted Vectors or K416s; many opt for economical and ergonomic firearms that can deliver a compact yet powerful gaming experience. To help you thrive within budget constraints, we’ve curated a list of effective yet affordable guns in Delta Force.
Regardless of your preferred play style, each of these weapons comes with attachments that allow you to tailor them to your unique combat approach.
10 G18
The Budget Vector
While some players swear by extended magazines for the G18, it may result in diminishing returns due to the weapon’s high fire rate—errors can escalate quickly if your aim falters. Although the G18 fires similarly to the Vector SMG, its recoil can become problematic at range. In close-quarters combat, unloading a full magazine can take down enemies swiftly.
Keep in mind, however, that the base stats of the G18 need enhancement. You’ll want to use high-tier ammunition to ensure armor penetration and manage the recoil effectively. A useful strategy is to aim for the torso; the vertical recoil often directs shots towards the head. Additionally, holding your breath while shooting can stabilize handling.
9 VSS
High Recoil Challenge
Using the VSS for the first time in Space City was a massive challenge due to its recoil. This weapon demands additional attachments for stability, especially when using automatic firing modes. While single-shot firing is smooth, auto mode requires you to exert downward force to counteract the vertical recoil while also controlling for sway.
If you’re considering it as an assault rifle, feel free to opt for the extended magazine, but single-fire mode allows for better accuracy and recoil management, especially for headshots at distance.
8 Bison
Common Yet Reliable
The Bizon stands out for its impressive base magazine capacity, which often eliminates the need for extended magazines. Throughout the game, you can find this SMG on AI bots, making it readily accessible for those in need of dependable firepower.
In-game, it’s not advisable to carry two fully kitted assault rifles when you can rely on a sidearm like a pistol instead. Should you ever find yourself in a pinch, the Bizon will serve you well.
7 93R
Efficient and Effective
While the G18 has its merits up close, the 93R is a fantastic choice for those looking for a strong, cost-effective weapon. Operating in burst mode, this firearm allows you to load premium ammunition, providing solid damage and armor penetration.
Its low recoil allows for quick resets between shots, making it a reliable option for conserving ammunition compared to the G18’s full magazine dumps.
6 Knight
Bizon’s Next Gen
The Vityaz is notably compact and ergonomic, greatly enhancing the user experience. When fitted with a suppressor, it excels in close-range combat. One of its standout features is the wide range of attachments available, allowing for significant customization to suit various play styles.
This weapon is a worthy upgrade from the Bizon, using easily sourced ammunition from the auction house, making it an excellent choice for close-quarters skirmishes.
5 QBZ
Aesthetic Reload Mechanics
The QBZ comes without the ability to equip optics initially, but this can be rectified with affordable attachments for greater stability and recoil control. It’s essential to calibrate your weapon according to your individual play style to maximize effectiveness, especially since accuracy at long range can be challenging with iron sights.
By adding attachments, you’ll gain the capability to equip sights without significant cost, making it beneficial for any player under tight budgets.
4 M16A4
Controlled Burst Fire
The burst-fire mechanic often goes unappreciated; it allows for three consecutive shots to land in a tight grouping, crucial for quickly downing enemies with headshots. Mastery can be achieved with practice, though many players tend to favor full-auto options for their perceived ease.
However, the M16A4 remains a stable weapon comparable to the CAR-15, using the same 5.56x45mm ammunition for versatile combat scenarios.
3 SG552
Rate of Fire Powerhouse
Having faced defeat at the hands of both the SSG and Vector, it’s clear the rate of fire on these weapons can be devastating, with the SG552 being a solid contender available for a low price at auction. It features three firing modes: Auto, Single, and Burst, catering to diverse gameplay preferences.
Many players still default to using their SSGs on full-auto; however, if you’re searching for an economical assault rifle capable of rapid engagements, the SG552 should be your weapon of choice.
2 Use
The Legendary Leg Shot
The classic Uzi, particularly effective with RIP ammo, allows players to target legs and bypass armor defenses effortlessly. Even against players adorned in gold or red armor, you can watch them succumb to its firepower due to the high damage against lower body targets.
Featuring a commendable rate of fire and the option to equip a generous 45-round magazine, the Uzi remains reliable in protracted skirmishes. Though its range may fall behind assault rifles, it excels in close-quarters situations, which is precisely what SMGs were designed for.
1 CAR-15
The Pinnacle of Control
Despite its affordability and standard design, it’s hard to overlook the CAR-15’s stability. This weapon features minimal recoil and can be fine-tuned with various attachments for improved performance. Although its standard magazine capacity is limited, you can enhance it with a 30-round extended magazine.
High-tier 5.56x45mm ammunition is readily available and offers significant value due to its low price at the auction house. Additionally, if you run low on supplies during a match, looting AI bots for ammunition is a viable strategy, further enhancing the CAR-15’s utility.
Similar to the Uzi and Bizon, this reliable weapon is easily obtainable from AI bots, making it a practical option for new and experienced players alike.
