The game relies on a Free2Play model, but according to developer Netease, all upcoming heroes should be playable for free and microtransactions will remain purely cosmetic. We'll find out whether it stays that way by Friday at the latest when it's released.
Delta Force

The Hazard Operations mode, on the other hand, brings an escape-from-Tarkov feeling in that you have to collect loot and extract it safely. A single-player campaign will follow later, based on the Black Hawk Down campaign from the sixth part of the series.
