As a seasoned Hawk Ops player with countless hours under my belt, let me guide you through the intricacies of looting, questing, and general gameplay. First off, understand that each piece of loot you find is not just another item, but a potential goldmine waiting to be sold or bartered. Prioritize your backpack with items that offer the highest value per slot, as it’s all about maximizing profits in this digital marketplace.
For those not familiar with extraction shooter games, mastering them can be quite challenging due to their complexity.
In Delta Force Hawk Ops, the level of intricacy isn’t as intense as in Escape from Tarkov, but there are several aspects of the game that require understanding and practice to become proficient.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time playing the game during its closed alpha period, alongside far too much experience in Tarkov, so make sure to follow all of the tips and tricks in this beginner’s guide to hit the ground running in Hawk Ops.
Prior to diving into Tactical Turmoil, it’s crucial to grasp the basic gameplay pattern typical of extraction shooters.
At the heart of this genre lies the idea that, differently from games such as battle royale, there isn’t a ‘winner’ or a definitive ‘victory’ in an extraction shooter. Instead, the main objective is survival and ensuring a safe escape.
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t stress enough the importance of adhering to the time constraints during each mission or ‘raid’. Failing to evacuate before the clock ticks down results in elimination. Notably, when character death occurs, all accumulated items on your character are forfeited, except those securely kept in your safebox.
Beyond merely existing, the objective of your forays primarily involves accumulating loot and finishing any ongoing quests. During these expeditions, you’ll encounter both automated combatants and other players, all aiming to outmaneuver you. Additionally, there are formidable AI adversaries resembling bosses that will present a tough test if you decide to engage them directly.
In contrast to many run-and-gun games I’ve played, it’s not just the power of my ammo that defines my character’s might; instead, each weapon I wield has its own unique damage value.
Damage, as always isn’t the be-all-end-all though, as you’ll also want to factor in all of the other stats like control, handling, stability, and fire rate, alongside the penetration value of the ammo too – which I’ll get onto in a bit!
As a gamer, no matter the scenario, it’s always the weapons I’ve got in my hand that make the difference when battling opponents. Picking a weapon that feels right and boosts my confidence is crucial to succeeding in any operation.
Additionally, don’t forget to customize each weapon with suitable accessories as well. Adding a sight or similar tool can greatly enhance your experience, while a tactical laser for precise targeting in tight spaces is also beneficial.
You might even want to use a silencer to mask the sound of your shots, and you’ll definitely want to consider switching out your stock or pistol grip, and slapping on a foregrip to enhance the overall handling of the weapon.
Rather than requiring you to meticulously load individual magazines for your firearm, you can rely on it drawing rounds directly from the loose ammunition in your tactical gear when reloading. This applies whether you’ve fired just one bullet or an entire magazine, and you will automatically deplete as many rounds as necessary to return to a fully loaded magazine.
After setting up your weapon, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the functioning of ammunition, especially how it interacts with armor.
In essence, while weapons determine the damage you inflict, this applies only when a bullet successfully strikes an object. Your armor, on the other hand, serves to prevent such impacts by virtue of its Protection Level.
In each round, there is a top Protection Threshold it can breach. This helps you understand the boundaries of what it can destroy. Additionally, you’ll find out the percentage reduction in damage for each round against the armor, giving you an idea of how much harm you can inflict on the armor itself.
In essence, when planning for your raids, it’s crucial to consider using high-grade ammunition, but you should also think about cost as top-quality bullets are noticeably pricier. Moreover, ponder if you’ll truly require such firepower. Most players, during the closed alpha stage, typically won’t surpass Protection Level 3 or 4, so a mid-range ammo type should suffice for most situations.
In Hawk Ops, the loot has multiple roles, making it challenging, particularly for novice players, to grasp what they ought to use each acquired item for.
Initially, every piece of acquired treasure is sorted into distinct categories based on their color, where white indicates the most frequent items, followed by blue (rarer), and finally purple (extremely rare). However, this categorization isn’t always indicative of price, as common items may still fetch a high value if there’s demand for them. This system can help in prioritizing your possessions at the beginning, but remember that it doesn’t always reflect the actual market value.
In your gaming adventure, it’s crucial to focus on maximizing the profit from your loot. This means carefully selecting high-value items that provide the best return per slot in your backpack. It’s not just about the individual worth of each item, but also about considering how much you can sell each item for relative to its size or slots. For instance, if a larger item like a 4×4 sells for 40,000 but a smaller 1×1 item sells for 12,000, filling four slots with the smaller items would result in a higher overall profit because they’re more valuable per slot.
The main reason behind obtaining certain items is for trading, or bartering. In this case, you would swap a particular group of items with one of the vendors for something rare and valuable that might be difficult to find. If these items are becoming scarce during your raids, they can sometimes be acquired from the black market instead.
In the end, don’t forget to look for items that are crucial for completing quests, as they might require you to use or deliver specific treasures. You may not know this until you take on each quest, but it’s important to remember this detail if you come across something that seems unusual or rare.
In a raid, you’ll likely find yourself engrossed in tasks or missions (quests) for a significant portion of your playtime. These quests serve as the primary method for both character advancement and progression.
In the game Hawk Ops, there are two categories of tasks or missions: those assigned by the various Departments, and additional challenges presented by various events that you can accomplish.
Tasks assigned by departments can be considered as conventional missions that progress sequentially. Each department offers a unique collection of assignments ranging from elimination orders, retrieval of specific items, and discovery of various locations scattered across one of the maps.
As you finish each task, you’ll advance forward, which not only improves your rank within that specific department but also expands the variety of items you can buy.
Instead, Events provide you with tasks that resemble challenges, requiring you to accomplish certain actions such as gaining access to a computer or eliminating a specific number of opponents to collect unique rewards.
