Introduction
In Delta Force Season 7, the CI-19 Assault Rifle presents a fascinating contradiction. While it is officially categorized as a Tier 3 weapon, do not let that label fool you. When decked out with correct builds, its comprehensive DPS and overall combat intensity punch firmly into the upper-middle S-tier.
The CI-19 is a classic case of a "low floor, high ceiling" weapon. It relies heavily on attachments to shine, meaning the performance gap between a stock build and a fully modded one is massive.
This guide will break down how to maximize the CI-19's strengths, explain the Gas Block mechanics, and provide you with the most effective Builds for the current meta.
Delta Force Season 7: CI-19 General Analysis
To understand how to build the CI-19, we must first analyze its unique attribute profile:
● High Attachment Scaling: Unlike guns with great base stats, the CI-19 depends on parts. Attachments here don't just tweak stability; they fundamentally dictate your damage output.
● Recoil & Stability: The base weapon suffers from some of the worst firing stability in the game and has a severe horizontal recoil tilt. However, its vertical recoil is surprisingly low.
○ The Fix: This simplifies our Gunsmith strategy—we can almost ignore vertical control and focus entirely on Horizontal Recoil Control. Furthermore, the terrible firing stability can be neutralized by equipping its exclusive Vanguard Newtype Grip.
● Handling: The CI-19 boasts exceptional base handling speeds. This is a huge advantage, as it means we generally do not need to waste attachment slots on handling improvements—the base stats are more than sufficient for aggressive play.
About Gas Block
The Gas Block is a CI-19's exclusive attachment slot that influences your Rate of Fire (ROF).
Newtype Rapid Gas Block: This is the choice for raw power. It transforms the weapon into a genuine S-tier damage dealer. However, it is more expensive and comes with significant stability penalties.
Newtype Stable Gas Block: Lower ROF, but better control.
The choice of Gas Block should align with your budget and overall modification level.
Below, we present verified modifications, categorized into a Budget Build and a High-End Build. The High-End version is further refined into three specific tactical variants to suit different playstyles and budgets.
1. Delta Force S7 CI-19 Budget Build
Loadouts Code：CI-19 Assault Rifle-Operations-6INH1KK073PI62OT9AFJ2
Key Parts:
| Attachment Recommendations | Attachment Description |
|---|---|
| KC Hound Handguard Panel*2 | Improves stability and ergonomics. |

2. Delta Force S7 CI-19 High-End Build
①Long Barrel Edition
Loadouts Code：CI-19 Assault Rifle-Operations-6INH8N8073PI62OT9AFJ2
Value: 224,756 Havoc Coins (January 7th)
②Rapid Gas Block Edition
Loadouts Code：CI-19 Assault Rifle-Operations-6INH9MS073PI62OT9AFJ2
Value:181,800 Havoc Coins (January 7th)
③Premium Edition
Loadouts Code：CI-19 Assault Rifle-Operations-6INHAG8073PI62OT9AFJ2
Value: 261,054 Havoc Coins (January 7th)
Key Parts:
| Attachment | Long Barrel Edition | Rapid Gas Block Edition | Premium Edition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Barrel | √ | × | √ |
| Rapid Gas Block | × | √ | √ |
Performance Highlights:
The distinction between Long Barrel Edition and the Premium Edition comes down to a single component: Rapid Gas Block. Premium Edition is our top recommendation for the CI-19, as it combines the weapon's maximum potential fire rate with the stability of the long barrel, resulting in S-tier DPS and excellent recoil performance.
For players seeking a more budget-friendly alternative, ②Rapid Gas Block Edition is a fantastic choice. While it sacrifices the range extension and added weight of the long barrel, its recoil control remains highly manageable. In indoor engagements and close-quarters battles, its performance is nearly indistinguishable from the premium build, making it a highly lethal tool for aggressive operators.
Conclusion
To wrap up, the beauty of the CI-19 lies in its flexibility. Its exceptional base handling means you never have to sacrifice speed for stability. Whether you opt for the cost-effective Budget Build or invest in the Premium Edition, the CI-19 delivers exceptional value. For a total build cost ranging from 120,000 to 260,000 Havoc Coins, it is arguably the most cost-efficient high-DPS option in the current meta.
