Delta Force, the PC and mobile free-to-play shooter, is also now on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The game does feature full controller support, but the aiming and movement can feel a bit weird on console. Here, we recommend the best settings to help you improve your aim, sensitivity, and movement when playing Delta Force on console and with a controller. Audio and graphics recommendations are also included.
Delta Force also features cross-play, but this is limited depending on which platform you play one. Make sure to check out our full Delta Force cross-play guide on how to play the game with friends on other platforms.
Currently, the game features a roster of 11 class-based operators, and here’s how to unlock and use all operators in Delta Force.
Controller settings
Delta Force started out as a PC and mobile game before being released on console. If you’re coming from another popular shooter like a Call of Duty or Battlefield game, you might find Delta Force’s controls on console to feel a bit awkward and stiff when it comes to movement and aiming.
A lot of game settings you likely won’t need to tweak, but you’ll definitely want to adjust some of the controller sensitivity settings. Settings are often personal preference, so you might want more or less sensitivity when hip firing or aiming, but for the most part, these settings will help you better refine your movement and aiming.
You’ll likely want to adjust the sensitivity when using ground vehicles and tanks as well. Try boosting these sensitivity levels to around the same vertical and horizontal sensitivities you use for your operator. Personally, I only use ground vehicles and never fly the aircraft, but I assume those will need similar adjustments.

Aim Assist Switch
This is your aim assist, and you definitely want to keep this on while playing with a controller.
Controller Controls
Controller layout and combat sections
This section is mostly personal preference. You can use these settings to adjust whether or not you want to use the bottom triggers or the top bumpers for shooting. You can also choose to swap your crouch and melee buttons, to allow you to crouch, dive, and go prone faster with the right thumbstick.
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 only change needed here is the Auto Run / Tactical Sprint setting. This will be based on personal preference. Keep it on Auto Run if you’re someone who is always looking to charge toward the fight. Change this to “Close” if you want to use the thumbstick to adjust your speed. This means that slight pressure will let you walk, and you’ll start running with more pressure applied. This is preferred if you’re someone who wants to walk around and be more stealthy and tactical about your movements.

Turning off V-Sync and prioritizing frame rates over graphics will be most beneficial in this game, as well as most online multiplayer shooters.
Combat Perspective
Default (field of view) FOV – Set this somewhere around 100 to 120.
Audio
Audio is generally a personal preference as well. For me, the game audio is way too loud, and it becomes difficult to hear friends in a party chat. I’ve dropped my Master Volume setting to 60, but you might want to adjust yours more or less. I also turn the music volume down really low to prioritize important in-game audio and chat, but maybe you want to rock out with it.
Another setting to highlight is the streamer setting that allows you to remove the copyrighted music playback. If you’re not streaming, you can just leave this on for the music.
