Introduction to Chixiao Hunting Mode
In Delta Force Season 8, the "Chixiao Hunting Mode" introduces a thrilling asymmetric experience. Players can now move beyond being simple GTI operators and take control of the battlefield as the elite Chixiao squad.
● Become the Boss: Use a "Chixiao File" to spawn as the boss, Sayid, equipped with devastating area-of-effect weaponry.
● Squad Power: If you don’t have a file, you can still participate as a specialized Chixiao Minion to support your leader.
● Asymmetric Warfare: One Chixiao squad enters a map (Zero Dam, Bakhesh, or Space City) to hunt down GTI operators and search for loot.
Sayid (The Boss) Skill Breakdown
Playing as Sayid provides a massive power spike, but it requires a 200k entry fee in the test server. Here are his kits:
Main Weapon: Flame Crossbow (Bouncing Projectile)
Sayid’s primary threat is his crossbow.
● Mechanic: Fires bolts that create a lingering flame zone with massive DPS.
● The "Bouncing" Edge: The bolts can bounce off walls, making it impossible for GTI agents to hide in cover or tight corridors.
Tactical: Combat Roll
● Mobility: A multi-directional roll that allows Sayid to dodge incoming fire or reposition instantly.
● Reset Mechanic: Knocking down an enemy refreshes the cooldown, allowing for aggressive "chain" movement.
Ultimate: Commander’s Call (Summon Guards)
● The Swarm: Sayid summons 5 elite guards (Shield, MG, Flamethrower, and 2 Infantry) for 2 minutes.
● Tactical Entry: These guards appear and disappear in a cloud of smoke, which can be used as temporary cover.
Passive: Battlefield Intelligence
● Global Tracking: When AI Al-Asara soldiers see a GTI agent, they report the location to Sayid, marking a red circle on his map.
● Team Buffs: Sayid grants increased movement and consumable usage speed to teammates within 20m.
Minion Classes: Flamethrower & Rocket
If you aren't playing the boss, you play as specialized infantry:
● Flamethrower: Uses a heavy flamethrower for CQB and can fire flashbangs from a launcher.
● Rocket Soldier: Uses a powerful wire-guided missile (TOW style) for high-damage long-range strikes. Note: You cannot run while firing the missile.
