Shepherd — Abilities & Skins

Home / Hot Games / Delta Force / Operators / Shepherd

Shepherd is a Engineer operator in Delta Force. This page records every ability the operator carries, what each one does, its cooldown, and the source each figure was read from. Read on October 9, 2026.

Where this comes from: ability names are the English client's, read from Liquipedia's operator pages. Cooldowns, charges, durations, ranges and damage figures are the Chinese community wiki's record of the operator, read on October 9, 2026 and translated here. The two are cross-checked against each other; where they disagree this page says so. The English codename is the rendering used by the community databases — Liquipedia, the Delta Force Fandom wiki and Delta Force Database — rather than a publisher statement: the publisher's own English operator list was not machine-readable when this page was written.

Abilities

Engineer who locks a room down rather than holding it with firepower. His tactical gear suppresses an area and strips enemy electronics out of it.

The Chinese client labels the signature ability as the ultimate. The English client calls that slot Tactical Gear, and it is the same ability — across all sixteen operators the wiki's ultimate row and Liquipedia's Tactical Gear row are always the same one. These pages use the English client's slot names.

Ability	Slot	Cooldown	Effect, as recorded by the sources
Sonic Paralysis	Tactical Gear	120 s	Sends out a drone that emits a sonic pulse. Enemies it catches lose movement speed, fire rate, aim-down-sights speed and hearing, and their screen distorts. A tap sends it 18 m forward for a stronger single pulse; holding adds pulses. It suppresses enemies within a 30 m radius and clears enemy electronics out of the area — Hackclaw's flash drone, Luna's detection arrow, the other Shepherd's traps — and interferes with recon devices. Two Shepherds firing at once cancel each other out.
Sonic Trap	Gadget	40 s; recalling the trap returns 30 s	A trap that sticks to hard surfaces and triggers when an enemy comes within 4 m, damaging and slowing enemies over a wider area. The wiki notes the placement sound is inaudible beyond 20 m and its idle ticking beyond 7 m, and lists it for blocking routes, bridges and extraction points, and for covering his own back.
Enhanced Fragmentation Grenade	Gadget	—	A frag grenade that damages ballistic vests and exposed limbs effectively. The wiki's use for it is finishing: enemies wounded behind cover, enemies downed but covered by a teammate, and enemies holding an angle around a corner. Its pin is inaudible beyond 28 m.
Sonic Defense	Trait	—	The handheld device generates anti-phase sound waves that reduce damage taken from blasts. The drone doubles as a recon tool — the wiki notes it can be used to check whether an area is clear, which closes the loop of trap, grenade, drone.

The Tactical Gear

Sonic Paralysis is this operator's tactical gear. The wiki's own page gives no cooldown table for this operator; the figures here are the ones written into its ability descriptions.

Cosmetics

The community wiki records these as this operator's skins. Their names are published only in Chinese with no English form we can cite, so the names below are our English renderings of the Chinese originals rather than official titles.

Update Rule

Ability figures change with balance patches, and this page tracks the two sources' record rather than trying to keep pace with every adjustment. The date at the top records when those sources were read, not when the game last changed. If a figure here disagrees with the publisher's own wiki, the publisher's figure is correct and this page is out of date.
