Quick Links
Nox is an Operator introduced in Season Four ofDelta Force. While an Assault unit that, oddly, focuses more on stealth than up-front fighting, he’s still a fantastic addition to any team. He’s especially effective in the Operations mode thanks to his frankly absurd flash grenades. The other parts of his kit are almost as strong, making him an excellent choice for Warfare, too.
We’ll be going over the best Nox loadouts to use in both Warfare and Operations modes. Our focus is on choosing weapons and equipment that complement his abilities.
How To Unlock Nox
Like most unlockable Operators, Nox is pretty easy to add to your squad.All you need to do is reach level 15 on the Battle Pass,and you’ll get him for free. You don’t need to spend any money, just play the game for a few hours.
The best way we found tounlock Nox was to play Operations, loot a bunch, maybe get a player kill or two, and extract. On average, a solid 15-20 minute Zero Dam raid was around 15,000-20,000 Pass XP.
If you account for the occasional death off the spawn or bad loot runs,that means about ten to 13 raids total, or about four hoursof grinding.
Playing Warfare is also a perfectly fine way to unlock Nox. We recommend youplay Stinger and be the server’s best heal bot. Stick around your teammates and heal/revive them as the fight goes on. Packing an Ammo box adds a few hundred extra points. In our testing,a 25-minute match could award upwards of 15,000 pointsif our play wasn’t fantastic.
Either way,expect unlocking Nox via gameplay to take a few hours.
You can, of course, purchase 20 pass levels with Delta Coins, which cost real money. That choice is yours.
Best Nox Warfare Loadout
UsingNox in Warfare makes you an absolute menace. Sending his flashbangs and Whirlwind Discs into highly contested areas not only softens up the opposition but also awards plenty of points. His Ultimate is great for getting around behind enemy lines and dealing death from the back.
Our loadout recommendation aligns withNox’s broader focus on stealth and crowd control, as well as the speed at which you’re able to play him.
AK-12 Assault Rifle
Primary
One of the best Warfare weapons, the AK-12 boasts a fantastic fire rate-to-damage ratio, is easy to control, and performs well at both range and close quarters.
G17 Pistol
Secondary
The G17 is a solid workhorse secondary, and while you won’t often need it, switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading.
EMP Launcher
Class Gadget
If you plan to go into a contested zone and don’t want to deal with pesky Operator abilities, then fling an EMP grenade in there to disable them.
You could easilyreplace the AK-12 with the likes of the new K437, QBZ95-1, or even the starting CAR-15 if you have it maxed out. Your goal in a match will switch between fighting around your teammates and going on solo missions on the flanks when you have the Silent Assault ability ready.
Best Nox Operations Loadout
Nox’s loadout in Operations is about as straightforwardas it gets in Warfare; the big difference will be the difficulty you’re playing.
GT1 Tactical Helmet
Purple
The workhorse purple helmet offers solid defense and a fantastic sound profile.
MK-2 Tactical Vest
Thepurple armor has good protective coverage, high base health, and ease of access.
QBZ95-1 with 5.8x42mm DBP 10
Purple (ammo)
Depending on your chosen difficulty, your QBZ build could be hyper-expensive or extremely budget-friendly, but the gun performs great in either situation.
93R with AP 6.3
Blue
One of the best AI-deleting weapons in the game, thanks to its three-round burst.
DRC Advanced Recon Chest Rig
With three three-slot sections and two four-slot sections, this Rig lets you extract from anywhere with a healthy complement of loot.
GT1 Outdoor Climbing Bag
A simple 5x5 grid of loot storage. Works for any occasion.
Thisbuild, featuring all purple rarity items, comes to approximately 740,000 Tekniq Alloy, with most of that pricetag coming from the tricked-out QBZ95-1, which, in our build, costs 420,000 on its own. Moving down to blue armor, blue ammo, and a less equipped weapon could easily cut that price in half.
