Delta Force Hawk Ops: How to unlock Hackclaw Operator
Hackclaw is one of the more stealthy Operators in Delta Force: Hawk Ops, but she's not unlocked when you first start playing. Here's how you can add her to your arsenal of playable Operators.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- You can unlock Hackclaw by completing all the challenges in the Ahsarah Bazaar event
- Hackclaw has a set of abilities that are relatively stealth-focused
Hackclaw is the final Operator on the list of playable characters in Delta Force: Hawk Ops, but much like Vyron, she's not unlocked by default when you first start playing.
To add her to your arsenal, you'll need to complete a specific set of challenges in the 'Events' tab, forcing you to get to grips with both the multiplayer and extraction modes available in Delta Force.
How to unlock Hackclaw
To unlock Hackclaw, you'll need to complete all of the challenges in the Ahsarah Bazaar event. These challenges ask you to complete fairly basic tasks within both the Tactical Turmoil and Havoc Warfare game modes.
These are the challenges you’ll need to complete:
Tactical Turmoil
- Complete one match in this mode
- Complete 15 kills in this mode
- Extract two times in this mode
Havoc Warfare
- Complete one match in this mode
- Deal 1,500 damage in this mode
- Win two matches in this mode
Completing each of these challenges will earn you a set amount of tokens, and if you manage to tick them all off, you'll earn exactly 200 of them. Guess what costs exactly 200 tokens? You guessed it - the Hackclaw Operator.
Once you've finished all the challenges, click on the sniper rifle in the middle of the Events screen (press F6 to get here), and exchange your tokens for Hackclaw on the right of your screen. She'll now be unlocked to use in both the multiplayer and extraction modes.
It didn't take me too long to unlock this character at all. If you're familiar with other FPS games, it should only take you one or two games of each mode to complete these basic challenges.
The Ahsarah Bazaar event seemingly ends on September 24, and the game doesn't clarify how players will unlock Hackclaw once the event comes to a close. We'll update this guide once we learn more about how to unlock this Operator after the specified date.
Hackclaw abilities
It's certainly worth looking to unlock Hackclaw as soon as you can, as her abilities are tailored towards those who like to play as stealthy soldiers.
Here are her abilities:
| Ability | Description |
| Signal Decoder | Periodically scans for up to three enemy electronic signals using a decoder and displays these signals' tracking paths on the contact lens. The path closest to you will be displayed in red. The higher the warning level the enemy receives, the closer you are to a Hackclaw. |
| Flash Drone | Deploys a drone forward, producing a blinding flash of light against enemies within range. When you aim at the decoder's trajectory, the drone will fly along the selected yellow trajectory. |
| Data Knife | Throws the Data Knife to hack into nearby electronic devices on impact and briefly disable them. Direct hits on enemies will deal significant damage. |
| Silent Step | Walking and Crouching are faster and make less noise. |
With flashbangs, throwing knives, and reduced footstep audio, Hackclaw is an excellent Operator choice for those who like to stay under the radar.
