“You'll need more than that to kill me!”
— Delta

The Delta is the elite infantry of the United States Army.

Game Unit[]

Deltas can be considered stronger Marines, with more health and stealth detection as well as close combat efficiency. They can be later upgraded to carry a LAW for use against enemy vehicles.

With their very short production time, Deltas can be fielded swiftly if there is enough Rare Earth to spare, being one of the safer investments of Rare Earth in general. Their very high close combat proficiency allows them to clear structures of enemy infantry with ease. As the only infantry capable of detecting enemy stealth units, they can easily spot concealed threats for friendly forces to fire upon, countering Vanguard stealth raids in particular. The LAW upgrade makes them even better than they're at, allowing them to inflict significant damage to enemy vehicles and further improves their efficiency against enemy infantry when within structures.

The main strength of the Delta is also their primary weakness. Deltas take only Rare Earth and will sometimes start fighting over them when other upgrades are in progress, not to mention unlike the Chimera's FÉLIN/Exosoldier or Cartel's Vanguard, Deltas can only be produced at DEFCON 1, by which point much more efficient means of taking banks are avaliable. Combined with the overall difficulty of gathering Rare Earth for US Army, it may be a little counter-intuitive to use them. Their LAW are not as useful as the Javelin, as while they can be used to raid structures, they must be fired directly, with low range and rate of fire. The range issue with Deltas also becomes problematic when enemy sniper equivalents, those that can suppress infantry or other longer-ranged units appear. Fortunately, Deltas remain strong and can be used in various supportive capacities.

  • Delta and LOSAT are the only units that solely require Rare Earth Elements to produce.
  • Delta is the only infantry unit that costs no Aluminum or Dollars.
