As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen the industry evolve from pixelated beginnings to the immersive worlds we know today. The announcement of Delta Force‘s new extraction mode has piqued my interest, and the decision they’ve made regarding wipes is a game-changer for me.
Delta Force is gearing up for a battle against heavyweights like Arena Breakout: Infinite and Escape from Tarkov in the realm of extraction shooters. Interestingly, it’s been disclosed that the game’s developers are open to incorporating a somewhat contentious gameplay mechanic in an attempt to keep pace with genre-leading games.
In simpler terms, when the final phase of Delta Force’s game mode concludes at the end of a season (referred to as a ‘wipe’), players are given the choice whether they wish to continue or not. This means that with each new season, players can choose to preserve their progress instead of having to start over from the beginning.
Make a Decision
For enthusiasts of extraction-based shooting games, periodic resets or ‘wipes’ are beneficial as they maintain fairness among players by resetting everyone’s progress occasionally. In Escape from Tarkov, these wipes usually happen about every six months, and each wipe coincides with a significant game update that revises the gameplay landscape.
This year, the development team behind Escape from Tarkov, Battlestate Games, unveiled a Player-versus-Environment (PvE) mode within the game, enabling continuous play without periodic wipes. This update proved popular among players, especially those who find it challenging to invest time for in-game grinding sessions every six months.
Delta Force is following in those footsteps – in a way.
At the conclusion of every three-month period within Delta Force, players have the option to either clear their progress (wipe) and begin anew, or maintain their achievements and continue playing without interruption.
Interestingly enough, if you opt for cleaning, you’ll gain access to unique perks and skills. One such benefit is the chance to transform into a mighty boss character, armed with potent weaponry, allowing you to annihilate your foes!
It’s entirely up to you.
