AK-12 is still one of the best-value rifles in Season 11. The June 30, 2026 update raised its Operations limb damage multiplier from 0.4x to 0.45x, so low hits finish fights faster. It deals high armor damage at close-mid range and is cheap to build — S11 tier lists rate it A in Operations, S in Warfare and S for value, and it remains a go-to beginner rifle for mid-range Operations fights.
AKM has the best cost-performance in its class. Attachments and ammo are cheap. First 2-3 shots are hard to control—you need to manage recoil. High skill ceiling once you get used to it.
AR57 was added on Apr 21, 2026: a 5.7x28mm assault rifle with a top-mounted 50-round magazine and up to 900 RPM. The first 10 rounds are easy to control, but armor damage is low, so it shines up close against lighter gear. It is S tier in both S11 Operations and Warfare lists, though its value grade slipped to B in October. Limited 5.7x28 HT/HT+ blunt rounds (1.2x base damage, 0.2x armor damage) are available Oct 10–16.
AS Val took two Operations nerfs in 2026: the April 21 update cut muzzle velocity from 330 to 300 m/s and range from 27 to 21 m, and the June 30 update cut damage from 29 to 28 and armor penetration from 48 to 44. It is still SSS in S11 Operations tier lists — a ~0.2 s TTK class with a quiet 100 m sound radius — but it is now a close-range specialist and poor value (value grade C). The 9x39 PAB-7 / PAB-9 rounds make the body part you hit take up to +60% damage for 3 seconds.
AUG is the best value 5.56 rifle in Delta Force. Achieves tier-4 weapon stability and range at extremely low modification cost. Weaknesses: low armor damage, insufficient DPS, weak in close combat.
CI-19 is meta this season. High stability at all ranges, high damage, good headshot multiplier. Tenglong suppressor extends range to 54m. The catch: sight bounces a bit.
The FS-12 joined in February 2026 as Delta Force's first tier-3 shotgun, with pump-action and semi-auto modes and room in the pistol slot once you remove the barrel and magazine. The April 21, 2026 update increased its hip-fire and ADS spread in semi-auto (Operations) while making magazine reloads feel better. It is A tier in S11 Operations lists and SS for value; a 20-round-mag leg-shot build is a popular value pick on Classified maps. In 5v5 Detonation only, the Sept 30 patch cut its limb (0.6 → 0.4) and abdomen (1.0 → 0.9) multipliers.
Best budget gun for stealing gear. Got nerfed but still strong. High fire rate, 33 rounds. Great for leg shots and looting kills. Cheap to build, highly recommended.
High-performance cost-effective weapon with excellent output attributes. Advantages: High fire rate, high armor penetration, high DPS - top-tier damage in its price range. Overall stable recoil with strong close-quarters attributes. Disadvantages: Low initial range, 30-round magazine has lower error tolerance. Full build has low cost efficiency, half builds offer extreme value.
K437 isn't new to Delta Force, but it is one of the top picks in Season 11. The S11 launch buff to the Lancer Long Barrel Combo raised its Operations range and muzzle-velocity bonus from +30% to +50% and its armor-penetration specialization from 32 to 35 (Warfare range/velocity +15% → +25%). As of Oct 6, community tier lists (GameWith JP) ranked it SSS in Operations (up from SS) and SS in Warfare. The Oct 9, 2026 mid-season patch then cut its Operations limb damage multiplier from 0.4x to 0.3x, so leg and arm hits now take longer to kill.
KC-17 with Overpressure rounds causes stun + slow on hit, significantly increasing win rate in gunfights. Low ammo cost combined with KC-17's high armor penetration delivers S-tier damage output. Only downside: max ammo level is 4.
Good mobility, easy recoil control. Low ammo capacity. Great for looting enemy gear. Two-shot kill potential at close range.
M14 got its first buff in a long time in Season 11: in Operations the 30-Round Mag's handling penalty went from -8 to -4 and the 50-Round Drum Mag's from -12 to -6, and the Oct 9 patch reduced its recoil on mobile. It is SSS in S11 Operations tier lists — around a 0.3 s TTK class against gold armor — but very expensive to build (value grade C), and the first shots still kick hard. Limited 7.62x51 LS rounds (Oct 10–16) add +40% muzzle velocity at the cost of +8% vertical recoil.
High armor damage, high body damage, high fire rate. Strong firepower within range. Improved firing stability and sight stability. The catch: LMG drawbacks, needs some practice. Poor at long range.
M250 is still Delta Force's 6.8x51mm firepower LMG. S11 tier lists rate it S in Operations — three shots to kill against gold armor, and a barrel swap raises its abdomen multiplier — and A in Warfare. The only official S11 change was a significant recoil increase on mobile; PC and console are unchanged, and a limb-damage cut reported from the Chinese test server does not appear in the global patch notes. Expect the 0.1 s trigger delay and heavy handling; PLY 6.8 rounds add control during sustained fire.
M4A1 features increased damage and improved recoil control. There's almost no horizontal recoil, it's extremely stable at all ranges, and it's very beginner-friendly. I recommend this gun especially when the lobbies aren't too sweaty.
M7 took three Operations nerfs in 2026: the May 21 patch halved the Tidal Ultra-Long Barrel Combo's stability bonus (+6 → +3), and the June 30 update lowered base damage from 38 to 37, the Tidal combo's damage from 40 to 39 and the limb multiplier from 0.4x to 0.35x. Even so it is still SSS in S11 Operations tier lists — two headshots kill and it stays accurate to long range — and SS in Warfare. It is expensive to build, and in S11 the buffed K437 is its main rival.
The M82 is the .50 BMG sniper rifle added on Apr 21, 2026. Loaded with M903 SLAP it one-shots to the chest without re-cocking, and since the June 2026 update it also damages combat vehicles and devices in Operations. Season 11 buffed its handling: the Crocodile Barrel Combo went from +8 to +11 and the AMR-HT Hollow Stock from +4 to +8 in Operations. It is SSS tier in S11 Operations lists. Note that .50 BMG rounds can't go in the Safe Box, and S11 added an ADS movement-accuracy penalty for all sniper rifles in Operations — stop moving before you shoot.
One-shot headshot kills, two-shot leg kills. Most fun weapon without sacrificing power. Better than snipers: higher non-headshot damage, faster fire rate, better handling.
MCX LT arrived in February 2026 as a close-range .300BLK rifle, and the March 5, 2026 balance patch reshaped it: fire rate 750 → 840 RPM, slightly lower vertical recoil and three more patch slots, while the Operations limb multiplier dropped from 0.4 to 0.35 and the Heat Shield's RPM bonus fell from +48 to +30. It is A tier in S11 Operations lists — the barrel adds damage, the heat shield adds RPM, and it is strong against low-tier armor — and it climbed to SSS in Warfare. Flame Soul + Dawn Grip remains the core of our builds.
The MDR is the 7.62x51mm assault rifle added in Season 11 "Reorientation" (Sept 8, 2026). It hits hard — 41 base damage and 43 armor damage in Operations at 650 RPM — and two headshots kill (about 0.29 s TTK against 125-durability gold armor). Its weak points are recoil and a small 20-round default mag (30 with the extended mag). It launched at SSS in S11 tier lists and has settled at SS; part prices have been unstable since release, so check the Auction House before you build.
MK4 is one of Season 11's biggest risers. It got several buffs in 2026 — more benefit from the Accuracy attribute, Fencer Barrel armor penetration 30 → 35, and Deep Space Chrome Barrel damage 32 → 34 and armor penetration 27 → 30 — and as of Oct 6 it was rated SSS in S11 Operations tier lists and SSS for value. It can use level-5 ammo and reaches around a 0.3 s TTK class against gold armor, and the barrel swap still switches between 3-round burst and full-auto (the full-auto barrel trades some base damage). S11's 4.6x30 FMJ ST / AP ST rounds (1.25x head and chest) suit it.
MK47 is the 7.62×39 heavy hitter introduced in 2025. The May 21, 2026 patch buffed its Ember Barrel's first-stage damage falloff multiplier from 0.85x to 0.9x, so it holds more damage at range. It is SS in S11 Operations tier lists (the barrel raises damage, armor damage is high, horizontal recoil is strong), S in Warfare and A for value. 40-round mag, 625 RPM and stable 4-shot stomach kills — the slower fire rate is the catch.
Most typical SMG in the game. Integrated suppressor barrel has excellent value. Classic hip-fire build feels great. The catch: SMG characteristics. 820 RPM with 30-round mag isn't enough, drum mag is too expensive. Watch your ammo count.
MP7 is still the "Wheelchair" — hold left click and hip-fire at close range. Since February the limited MP7 HVK Combat Kit (added in April) had its range penalty removed (May 21), the CT Enhanced Stock traded stability (+4 → +2) for hip-fire (-16 → -8), and Warfare damage falloff was tightened twice. It is A tier in S11 Operations lists (high close-range damage with level-5 ammo; it needs an extended mag) and SS in Warfare. S11's 4.6x30 FMJ ST / AP ST season rounds suit it too.
Top-tier damage output in the game. Very high base stats. Sustained fire has very low recoil—just a few attachments guarantee laser control. 75-round base mag—excellent sustain. The catch: LMG characteristics, slight spread + trigger delay.
RM277 is the 6.8x51mm assault rifle added on June 30, 2026 — the same caliber as the M7 and M250. It's one of the most stable mid-to-long range rifles, with high muzzle velocity and reach of up to 90 m when fully modded, but a little soft up close. In S11 Operations tier lists it dropped from S to A because low limb damage makes its TTK inconsistent; in Warfare it stays S. PLY 6.8 rounds (added June 30) give a control buff during sustained fire.
SR-3M features extremely high dual-spec stats - both stability and hip-fire are top-tier. Handles any close-range shooting stance. Excellent armor damage with great BTK on head and torso. Only weakness: low base range.
Faster bullet velocity, lower breathing sway. Precision ultra-long-range sniper. The catch: low mobility.
The SVCH is the 7.62x54mmR marksman rifle added on June 30, 2026. With the right part it fires full-auto (around 600–700 RPM), and test-server data put it at 47 health / 46 armor damage in Operations. It peaked at SSS over the summer and sits at SS in S11 Operations lists (S in Warfare). The catch is cost — a full build is close to 500k — and the Swiftwind Dual Mag was a season-limited part that has most likely expired, so plan on a standard mag.
The Thompson SMG arrived in Season 11 (Sept 8, 2026). It fires .45 ACP at 900 RPM with 34 base damage in Operations, holds 20 rounds by default (35 with the extended mag) and has very high handling. It rose from S to SS in S11 Operations tier lists for its fast TTK in normal matches — RIP-ammo leg shots are strong, and attachments add damage — and its value grade climbed to A. A Sept 17 fix corrected attachment bonuses that weren't applying, so builds from before that date may be off.
Vector has the highest DPS and fire rate in the game with a unique 'leg shot' playstyle. The leg shot build can kill in just 0.32 seconds.
