Meet Rashid Rahal: The Tech Specialist
Gizmo enters the fray as a master of area denial and automated defense. Hailing from the new Ahsarah faction, his kit is built around controlling space and neutralizing enemy utility. In a tactical shooter where positioning is everything, Gizmo offers a new way to lock down objectives without putting your body directly in the line of fire.
His loadout suggests a heavy focus on defensive versatility:
- Crawler Nest: A deployment of sentry bots. While specific damage numbers and tracking range are still being tested by the community, the ability to deploy automated threats forces enemies to reveal their positions or waste ammo clearing the bots.
- T.I.M. (Tenacious Interception Module): This tactical gear appears to be a hard counter to projectile spam. In high-stakes objective play, the ability to intercept incoming grenades or tactical equipment is invaluable for anchoring a defense.
- Smoke Mine: Adds a layer of visual obstruction, allowing Gizmo to reshape sightlines or cover a retreat.
- Firewall Trait: A passive ability likely geared toward resistance against enemy tech or hacking attempts, fitting his background as a tech operator.
How will Gizmo change the meta?
The introduction of the Crawler Nest and T.I.M. suggests a shift toward a more gadget-heavy meta. Until now, many engagements in Delta Force have been decided by raw gunplay and map knowledge. Gizmo forces teams to play slower and check corners for automated threats.
If the T.I.M. functions similarly to trophy systems in other shooters, Gizmo will likely become a staple pick for defensive rounds, forcing attacking teams to coordinate EMPs or bait out the interception module before committing to a push. The addition of the Ahsarah faction content marks a significant expansion for the game, giving players fresh tools to experiment with immediately.
