Garena Delta Force Extraction Mode Guide: The Ultimate Guide to Extraction Mode from Beginner to Advanced

Extraction mode is a three-person team-based PvPvE mode: land and scavenge supplies, complete objectives, reach extraction within the time limit, and secure the loot. It emphasizes resource management and risk-taking: balancing backpack space, ammunition capacity, and mission rewards. Both official and platform guidelines define this as "Extraction" gameplay and provide basic advice on ammunition carrying, vest, and backpack management.

Core Objectives

Complete objectives and loot without being eliminated.

Judge when to engage/avoid combat, prioritizing escaping alive.

Rational division of labor to maximize margin of error and maximum reward.

Maps and Objectives: How to Plan Your Turns

In early rounds, it's recommended to practice pacing around low-risk routes: start at peripheral resource points and gradually advance toward the objective, leaving ample time to retreat. Epic's Beginner's Guide emphasizes storing ammunition in a chest rig for quick access and reserving ammunition in a large backpack.

Team Roles: Efficient Combination of Assault/Engineer/Support/Recon

Media reports and official materials regarding the PC and mobile releases indicate that the game offers a variety of classes (such as Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon). Recommendations for Extraction mode include:

Assault: Close-to-medium-range advancement, path-clearing, and point control
Engineer: Tool and vehicle handling, crate opening/obstacle clearing
Support: Supply, suppressive fire, and resurrection
Recon: Intelligence, reconnaissance, and flanking

This "four-pronged" division of labor is common in both 32v32 Battle Royale and Extraction gameplay, and can be adjusted based on your team pool.

Starting Equipment: What to Bring, What to Drop

Ammunition: Build your inventory based on "number of targets x expected engagement" to avoid overloading your inventory; prioritize frequently used ammunition types on your chest mount.

Repair: 1-2 sets of First Aid + 1 set of Continuous Recovery for maximum error tolerance.

Tools: One person should primarily dismantle items, while the rest cover to avoid duplication of tools across the team.

Backpack Space: Leave at least 30% of the space for mission items and extra-mission rewards (rare materials/weapon parts).

Engagement and Evacuation: Winning depends on decision-making, not kills.

Evacuation as a Victory Condition: Hearing a firefight doesn't necessarily mean you have to participate; prioritize protecting rewards over "taking every shot."
Two Shooters, One Observer: During a firefight, maintain a "high vantage point/back slope observer" to provide information and cover fire.
Evacuation Window: The closer to the deadline, the easier it is to gather at the extraction point. Secure a position early rather than rushing at the last minute.
Managing Drop Points: Ambushes are common near fixed points, so choose more concealed routes and timings.

These practical tips align with the official/platform emphasis on "avoiding prolonged engagements, ammunition management, and evacuation pacing."

Maximizing Rewards: Mission Prioritization and Risk Premium

Main Objective > Rare Resources > Common Supplies
Full Load and Depart: Bringing anything back is victory; forcing a "second wave" often leads to failure.
Team Economy: Concentrate the first-round gains on two specific players to quickly build a core build.

Common Mistakes (Most Common for Newbies)

Overstuffing Your Backpack with Ammo: Prevents You from Loading High-Value Loot.
Having Everyone in the Same Class: Lacks Tool and Information Advantage, Drastically Increases Risk During Evacuation.
Ignoring the Evacuation Timer: Facing Multiple Teams at the Last Minute, Dramatically Decreases Win Rate.

Advanced Tip: Keeping a Pace with Seasons/Crossovers

Official news and store information indicate that the mobile version is continuously updated, including new seasons, crossover events (such as Arknights), new maps, and new Operators. Materials and rewards are refreshed periodically. It is recommended to plan your development and material turnover around limited-time events.
