In this latest edition of Designer’s Notes, we'll go into detail about the balancing changes that’ll come with the Y9S2.3 update and give you some insight into the reasons behind them.








Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an Operator. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban.
Presence definition: pick rate of an Operator when not banned. Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from Operator’s Win Deltas per Bomb Site.





________________________________________


In Y8S4, the destruction rates of the Kiba Barriers were divided between 56% from explosives and 44% from melee attacks. Following the update in Y9S1, the rates shifted to 42% explosives, 29% melee, and 28% bullets. However, during the season, explosive usage increased while bullet damage decreased. As a result, we made adjustments in the mid-season patch, but the usage of bullets didn't even match the numbers we had at the beginning of the season.

To address this, we've decided to further boost the damage modifiers. After analyzing a longer data period, we're less concerned about barriers being too vulnerable to bullets at close range. Melee attackers continue to be a more efficient and quicker method for barrier destruction. Our goal is to make barrier destruction more viable from longer distances, taking into account the damage drop-off of weapons. We aim for a more balanced usage of bullets and explosives.

[h4]KIBA BARRIER[/h4]

• Increased damage received by Handguns:
  
  • 20% by Small calibers (e.g. USP40).
    
  • 30% by Medium calibers (e.g. M45 MEUSOC).
    
  • 20% by High calibers (e.g. D-50).

• Increased by 20% the damage received by Revolvers.
  
• Increased by 30% the damage received by Machine Pistols.
  
• Increased damage increased by Submachine Guns:
  
  • 30% by Small calibers (e.g. Mx4 Storm).
    
  • 20% by Medium calibers (e.g. K1A).
    
  • 20% by High calibers (e.g. UZK50GI).

• Increased by 20% the damage received by Assault Rifles.
  
• Increased by 20% the damage received by Light Machine Guns.
  
• Increased by 20% the damage received by Designated Marksman Rifles.
  
• Increased by 20% the damage received by Sniper Rifles.
  
  • 150% by CSRX 300.

Over the past couple of years, attackers have gained additional tools to counter defenders' bulletproof utility (such as Brava and Ram) and increased access to explosives (including the additional Gonne-6 and Frag Grenades). As time has passed, many of the stronger defenders have already been addressed by adding more non-explosive counters (like Azami and Fenrir). Therefore, we believe that Buck's Gonne-6 is overshadowing other operators who specialize in explosive capabilities.
Our intention for Buck is to maintain his focus on environmental destruction and vertical play. We feel that the Gonne-6 is unnecessary for him to excel in this area.

[h4]LOADOUT[/h4]

• Secondary weapons: Removed Gonne-6.

Despite the increased pick rate of the Supernova (approximately from 5% to 20%), our intention to position it as an alternative to the usual site architects has unfortunately resulted in it being underutilized. Consequently, we have decided to restore its armor and speed ratings and reintroduce the Magnified Scopes into the MP5SD. The new sights are designed to encourage a more passive playstyle, which should synergy well with him staying on drones at a distance from the action and hold long angles if needed.

We acknowledge that these adjustments alone may not be sufficient to increase Echo's presence substantially, so we are investigating additional changes for the Yokai drones in the background.

[h4]BASE STATS[/h4]

• Armor: 3 (from 2).
  
• Speed: 1 (from 2).

[h4]LOADOUT[/h4]

• MP5SD: Added Magnified Scopes to sights options.

As we are adjusting the killing potential of Melusi and Wamai, we have identified an opportunity to enhance her roaming capabilities to fill the gap that those operators might be leaving. Given the recent additions to the defensive roaster, Ela's role has become more constrained. To address this, we have decided to reintroduce her Impact Grenades, allowing her greater mobility and additional tools against Ballistic Shields.

Ela's current lethality is significantly lower than it was in Year 3 when we initially removed the grenades. By reintroducing them, our goal is to make her gameplay more dynamic during the round without creating an overly oppressive experience for the attacking team.

[h4]LOADOUT[/h4]

• Secondary gadgets: Removed Observation Blocker. Added Impact Grenades.

Despite having a lot of resources and each canister covering a relatively large area, defenders do not seem particularly scared when encountering them. And the punishment for ignoring them is not severe enough. Currently, an enemy only takes 3 ticks of damage when crossing a fully expanded canister, which is only 30 hit points. Furthermore, even if the covered area is extensive, it is unnecessary to destroy all deployed Trax devices to create a safer path, so only a few bullets are needed to invalidate them.

To address this, we plan to increase the damage dealt per second. This adjustment will make them more intimidating, prompting defenders to ensure that the path is clear before proceeding. With the new damage output, crossing the area will cost 45 hp, which should encourage defenders to play more cautiously and give attackers more time to react. We remain open to further adjustments if this value does not meet our expectation in practice.

[h4]TRAX STINGERS[/h4]

• Damage: Increased to 15hp per second in movement (from 10).

The Magnified Scope has notably enhanced her efficiency in combat scenarios, even outperforming other operators with the MP5. Despite her being a 3-armor like Doc and Rook, we consider that she should be more focused on utility usage. Additionally, the introduction of other operators who can fulfill a similar role in a more flexible manner, such as Fenrir, has diminished her utility.

The proposed adjustments are designed to reduce her killing potential while expanding her contribution to team strategy. The additional resources will help her cover more space or double down in locations that might need more attention. Furthermore, the introduction of a secondary shotgun is intended to foster creativity and versatility preparing the defensive setup.

[h4]BANSHEE SONIC DEFENSE[/h4]

• Max. resources: Increase to 4 (from 3).

[h4]LOADOUT[/h4]

• MP5: Removed Magnified Scopes from sights options.
  
• Secondary weapons: Added ITA12S.

While the MP5K statistics do not currently raise immediate concerns, on the contrary, its efficiency went almost back to pre-Acog levels by the end of Season 1. The rising presence presents a pattern that can remind of past experiences with other operators, such as Alibi, Oryx, and Warden. While these operators weren't overwhelmingly overpowered in terms of stats, their significant presence – specifically the motivation to pick them – was perceived negatively, leading to concerns about game balance. In light of these considerations, we have decided to remove the Magnified Scope.

[h4]LOADOUT[/h4]

• MP5K: Removed Magnified Scopes from sights options.

Note for Technical Test players

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Those who already received access to the recent Technical Test through Steam or via our website will automatically receive access to the PC Alpha Test and do not need to apply again.

The Delta Force: Hawk Ops PC Alpha Test will include both of the game's primary multi-player game modes:

Hazard Operations
Welcome to the extraction shooter, Delta Force style! You begin by carefully selecting a loadout, including weaponry, armor, and health items, before being deployed in a 3-person squad to a random location on the map and tasked with locating and extracting the most valuable resources.

Standing in your way are cunning AI-controlled enemy forces, as well as the most dangerous foe of them all - squads of rival players. Get taken out by enemy forces, or fail to reach your extraction point, and you risk losing everything - the weapons and items you brought into the match, as well as any loot picked up along the way. Only items stored in your safe box will be sent back to base following each game.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

The PC Alpha Test will initially feature two Hazard Operations maps, with a third planned to be added later in the test. Expect many more in the full release.

Havoc Warfare
This is Delta Force: Hawk Ops at its most bombastic, featuring full-on warfare across huge maps utilizing a variety of land, sea and air vehicles. This mode is all about map dominance, as two opposing sides (32 v 32 with 4-person squads) will battle for control of strategic points on the map.

The PC Alpha Test will feature two Havoc Warfare maps. Expect many more in the full release.



In addition, the PC Alpha Test will give players a taste of the game's extended Gunsmith system, as well as its unique playable Operators:

Gunsmith System
Over 40 weapons from the full version of Delta Force: Hawk Ops will be available to try out during the PC Alpha Test. Not only that, players will also have access to the extensive Gunsmith system, allowing for customization of many aspects of your firearm's handling and design. Choose from a wide assortment of stocks and sights, and fine-tune precise details such as the exact position of your fore grip.


Meet the Operators
The Global Threat Initiative (G.T.I.) is made up of combat veterans from around the world. These are the best of the best, with each Operator bringing their own unique ability to the table. A tight-knit squad of G.T.I. Operators utilizing their tactical equipment in perfect synergy is a force to be reckoned with. The following six Operators from the full version of Delta Force: Hawk Ops will be available to try during the Alpha Test:


Kai Silva



Roy Smee



Luna Chen



Terry Musa



Wang Yuhao
