How To Master Delta Force: Extraction Mode

If you’re diving into Delta Force: Tactical Turmoil, you’re in for an intense extraction shooter experience. After spending countless hours experimenting with different loadouts, strategies, and maps, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide with essential tips that will help you survive and thrive in the game. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your tactics, this guide has you covered!

Understanding Tactical Turmoil Mode

Tactical Turmoil is the game’s extraction mode where you and up to two teammates enter a map as a squad. Initially, you’ll start with Zero Dam, but as you level up your operator (account level), you’ll unlock additional maps and harder modes featuring better loot but higher gear requirements.

Spawning & Map Awareness

• You’ll spawn at a random location, sometimes near high-value loot zones, and occasionally close to other squads.
• Be mindful of your starting position and plan your route accordingly.

Quick Tip for the Tutorial

• Don’t rush through the tutorial! The fake enemy has a valuable M4 rifle, blue gear, and blue ammo. These items provide an excellent head start—either use them or sell for a hefty sum.

Looting & Rarity System

Looting efficiently is crucial in Tactical Turmoil. Prioritizing high-value loot can make the difference between a profitable run and wasted effort.

Loot Rarity Colors (Worst to Best)

1. White – Generally not worth picking up.
2. Green – Useful when starting but not ideal long-term.
3. Blue – Solid loot worth taking.
4. Purple – High-value items to prioritize.
5. Orange – Rare and very valuable.
6. Red – The rarest and most valuable items (some worth over a million each).

Best Loot Locations

• Orange Safe Icons: Indicate high-value loot areas.
• Big Safes: Often contain red items worth hundreds of thousands.
• Lab Coats: Frequently drop keycards.
• Computer Cases & Server Stacks: Contain tech parts and CPUs that sell for a lot.
• Flight Cases: Often have valuable items.
• Sewer Grates & Bird Nests: Identified by rat or bird noises, these often contain good loot.

Keycards & Locked Rooms

• Keycards open special locked loot rooms with valuable containers and safes.
• They have limited uses and can only be sold at max durability.
• Use the “Used At” button to check which rooms a keycard opens before buying.

The Black Site – Your Base of Operations

Your Black Site is a persistent base that you can upgrade for crafting, buffs, and other benefits. Upgrading gets expensive and time-consuming, so prioritize wisely:

Best Upgrades Early On

• Stash: Expands inventory space.
• CSD: Increases stamina and recovery—essential for movement and survival.

Ammo & Gear Rarity – Understanding Damage

The time-to-kill (TTK) depends on ammo quality vs. enemy armor. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Blue Ammo: Effective against blue gear and below.
• Purple Ammo: Shreds white, green, and blue armor but still works well against purple.
• Higher-Tier Ammo: Needed for confidential difficulty or high-entry gear maps like Space City.
• Armor Differences: The better your armor, the more shots you can withstand, making ammo choice crucial in tougher matches.

Game Settings for Better Performance

• Toggle Settings: Change sprinting, aiming, and walking from toggle to hold if preferred.
• Auto-Sort Stash: Enables quick stash organization.
• Auto-Place Valuable Items: Ensures your best loot goes to the safe box automatically.
• Performance Parameters: Toggle on FPS and ping for better awareness.
• Field of View (FOV): Adjust to 100-110 for better visibility, but avoid extreme values to prevent distortion.

Making Money – Auction House & Loadouts

• Sell Early Game Crafting Materials: Items like cordless portable drills and wires are overpriced early on.
• Sell Guns & Attachments: M4s, Vectors, and other weapons sell for a lot.
• Strip Attachments: If a gun won’t fit in your backpack, remove high-tier attachments and sell them separately.
• Batch Selling Guns & Attachments: Attach all items to a gun before selling to speed up transactions.

Using Gear Tickets for Easy Loadouts

• Gear tickets provide preset loadouts.
• Select gear based on balanced (mix of armor/guns), survival (better armor), or firepower (stronger guns, weaker armor).
• Save high-tier tickets for confidential difficulty or Space City.
• Recruit tickets are good for early-game use and are sometimes rewarded via mail and events.

Daily Missions & Bonuses

• Check Daily Missions: Complete them for money and loot boxes.
• Recruit Menu: Contains login bonuses, including an upgraded lockbox (7-day duration) that lets you store more items on death.
• Event Tab: Check for limited-time missions and rewards.

Extra Pro Tips

• Favorite Important Items: Use the star icon to mark mission-critical loot.
• Hold Shift While Shooting: Reduces weapon sway.
• Use the Firing Range: Test attachments and ammo types before taking them into a match.
• Control + Click for Fast Looting: Speeds up inventory management.
• Check Enemy Money: If an enemy squad completed contracts, they might be carrying extra money—don’t forget to loot it.
• Right-Click Items & Check Usage: Helps determine if an item should be sold or saved for crafting.
• Click the Lower Left Corner Before a Match: Sometimes, you’ll receive free gear like ammo, weapons, or cash.
