Delta Force, a free-to-play shooter initially for PC and mobile, is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. While it supports controllers, console players might find the aiming and movement somewhat clunky. This guide offers optimal settings to enhance your aim, sensitivity, and overall movement on console, along with suggestions for audio and graphics.
Delta Force includes cross-play, though its functionality varies by platform. For detailed instructions on playing the game with friends across different systems, resources are available to guide you.
The game currently offers 11 class-based operators. Learn how to unlock and effectively utilize each of them in Delta Force.
Controller Settings
Originally a PC and mobile title, Delta Force`s console controls can feel less fluid compared to popular shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield, particularly concerning movement and aiming. While most settings won`t require changes, adjusting controller sensitivity is crucial. These recommended settings provide a solid foundation for refining your movement and aiming, though personal preference might lead you to tweak them further for hip fire or ADS. It`s also advisable to synchronize ground vehicle and tank sensitivities with your operator`s vertical and horizontal settings for consistency. Similar adjustments are likely beneficial for aircraft controls.

Controller Controls
Controller Layout and Combat Sections
Controller layout and combat sections are largely based on personal preference. Here, you can decide between using triggers or bumpers for shooting, and even reassign crouch and melee to the right thumbstick for quicker actions like crouching, diving, and going prone.
Movement
Auto Run / Tactical Sprint – Close or Auto Run
Run /Tactical Sprint Control – Toggle
Tactical Sprint Activation – Press While Sprinting
Slide/ Dive Activation – Press to Slide/ Hold to Dive
The primary adjustment in this section is the Auto Run / Tactical Sprint setting, which depends on your playstyle. Choose `Auto Run` if you prefer constantly moving forward aggressively. Opt for `Close` if you want fine-grained control over your movement speed using the thumbstick, allowing for stealthy walks with light pressure and sprints with more force.
