Introduction
With Delta Force Season 7 "Asala" launching globally on November 18, 2025—across PC, console, and mobile—the first operator from the brand-new Asala faction has finally been revealed: Rashid Rahal, codenamed "Gimzo" . As a defense-focused engineer built around "mechanical synergy," Gimzo’s ability kit doesn’t just reimagine traditional defensive play—it’s poised to shake up the game’s entire meta. Let’s break down why this hacker-turned-operator is a must-unlock for S7, covering his backstory, abilities and how to use him.
You can use Delta Force Tools to access the Weapon Encyclopedia, select suitable attachments, and build the perfect weapon for the new operator Gimzo—helping you perform at your best on the battlefield. If you need attachments, ammo, or seasonal unlocks, BuffBuff is the official top-up route for safe, fast upgrades and periodic discounts.
I. Backstory: Hacker-Turned-Defender
Gimzo was a dark web cybersecurity expert before repurposing his surveillance drones into battlefield tools—after invaders seized his workshop. His gadgets mix cyber tracking and mechanical control, fitting Asala’s "digital-to-physical dominance" ethos.
II. Skill Introduction: Cyber-Mechanical Synergy
Gimzo’s power comes from linking his four gadgets — each works better when paired, turning scattered defenses into a coordinated network. Below is the introduction to his skills：
- Hunting Spider: Deploy a palm-sized stealth drone, then set a 50-meter patrol path via your HUD. When it detects enemies, it charges at 3m/s and fires a high-tensile web, trapping targets for 4 seconds. The real kicker? If an enemy is already "corroded" (from your Sentry Hive), the drone locks on instantly — no detection delay. Perfect for covering flanks while you anchor the bomb site.
- Sentry Hive (Gadget 1): Place a small nest that releases 3 mini sentry bots 2 seconds after activation (you can have 2 nests active at once). These bots track enemies within 12 meters, explode on contact for 50 damage, and apply two critical debuffs: "corrosion" (boosts bullet damage against them by 25% for 6 seconds) and "digital tagging" (they stay visible to your entire team until they heal). Think of this as your "setup tool" — it makes every other ability deadlier.
- Smart Smoke Mine (Gadget 2): Stick this mine to walls, crates, or floors (max 3 active). It triggers automatically when enemies get within 5 meters, or manually via your fire button. The result? A 4-meter smoke cloud that lasts 8 seconds — but unlike standard smoke, it blocks enemy thermal optics while keeping your tagged targets visible. It also pings enemy locations to your HUD the second it goes off, so you’re never caught off guard.
- Defense Vanguard (Passive): When you’re within 10 meters of any of your gadgets (Hunting Spider, Sentry Hive, or Smoke Mine), you get three buffs: 20% faster gadget deployment, 30% reduced weapon recoil, and instant gadget recall (hold reload to pull drones back to your hand). This rewards anchoring to your tools — no more running around; stay put, and you’ll become an unbreakable control hub.
Once you pick Gimzo, you can hold your ground firmly, gain the upper hand in gunfights against enemies, and land lethal blows to take them down!
IJ. Season Prediction
Gimzo’s arrival not only brings a brand-new "mechanical synergy" defensive playstyle to Delta Force, but also further optimizes the game’s "offense-defense balance". Whether you’re a casual player or a competitive enthusiast, it’s recommended to prioritize trying out this "defensive innovator". On future battlefields, higher demands will be placed on operators’ ability synergy and linkage skills — "precision mechanical defense" may become a more crucial key to victory than "powerful offensive firepower".
