Delta Force Hawk Ops dev promises no pay-to-win, no paywalls

Phew.

Delta Force: Hawk Ops is going through its first alpha test, and as players get to know this shooter, more concerns about possible pay-to-win features arise. Even though other shooters might gladly sell you in-game currency, a developer from Team Jade promises Hawk Ops will do no such thing.

In an AMA Reddit thread on Aug. 13, Delta Force: Hawk Ops game director Shadow Guo reassured us the game will never be pay-to-win. “As a dedicated FPS gamer myself, I made sure our team placed great importance on the global player experience and community. The primary content we offer for our players to purchase includes weapon skins, character cosmetics, and battle passes,” Guo wrote.

The game director explained that the large-scale Havoc Warfare mode has “no pay-to-win elements” and that the devs will never sell resources like Tekniq Alloy or the equipment in the Hazard Ops. Instead, you can expect to earn them through gameplay, participating in events, or trading with other players. The highest level of safeboxes will be available for free, too.

“Adding to that, a large number of safes in Hazard Ops will be given away during our community events, and more seasonal rewards will be provided through the battle pass. We also promise that all multiplayer content will be free to experience, with no game content locked behind a paywall,” Guo wrote in a closing paragraph.

Delta Force: Hawk Ops is over a week into its alpha test, with concurrent players averaging around 19,000, according to SteamDB. The fact the game promises to be completely free to play this early is a great sign for any FPS and extraction shooter fans.

The official X (formerly Twitter) account also teased a big announcement soon, so keep an eye out for news regardless of whether or not you managed to get into the playtest.
