Tempest is a Assault 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.

Illustration of a female operator with shoulder-length copper-red hair standing in a wet industrial corridor at night, looking back over her shoulder with a three-bladed throwing weapon in one hand, wearing a sleeveless dark vest and a back-mounted rig with orange light strips — Original illustrationOur own composition of the operator, drawn from the character art the wiki publishes for her: the shoulder-length copper-red hair, the sleeveless dark tactical vest, the black sleeve and glove on her right arm, and the back-mounted rig with its orange light strips. The night-time industrial corridor is our own scene rather than a location in the game. This is drawn artwork, not a screenshot of the actual game, and not a photograph of a real person.

Abilities

Assault operator who can cheat death once a life. Her tactical gear pulls her out of a lethal hit, and the rest of the kit exists to get her back into the fight afterwards.

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
Emergency Evasion Device	Tactical Gear	120 s, 20 s window	Plants an anchor point, which a later patch lets her place about 100 m away. Reactivating it, or being knocked down, pulls her back to the anchor. After the pull she can self-revive in Hazard Operations; each successive self-revive adds 2 seconds, capped at 16, and every enemy she knocks down removes 2 seconds of that penalty. Falling from height triggers a suspension mode lasting up to a minute. The anchor can be shot down by enemies, and during the pull-back she briefly withstands damage beyond her maximum health.
Tactical Combat Roll	Gadget	30 s (knocking down a player removes 90%, a bot 50%)	Fires the auxiliary spine to boost core strength and roll quickly in any direction, set by the movement keys. A roll covers about 6 m, or 12 to 14 m with a roll jump, and gives 1.5 seconds of boosted speed afterwards. She cannot fire during the roll and has about a second of recovery. The roll puts out burning, and landing from height in it causes no fracture and reduced damage.
Drill Charge	Gadget	2 carried, about 55 to 60 s each	Throws a spike that sticks to a wall, the ground or a person and detonates after 3 seconds, disarming enemies in a 10 m fan for 2.5 seconds — no firing, no abilities, no sprinting, no changing posture. Placed against a wall it penetrates up to 7 m. The wiki warns that she can disarm herself with it, that an angled placement covers more than a straight one, and that Hackclaw's data knife and Raptor's EMP grenade can clear it.
Auxiliary Surge Spine	Trait	About 3 s internal cooldown	When a bullet or explosive threat is nearby the auxiliary spine releases current, boosting core muscles and sprint speed for about 1.5 seconds. It also gives a permanent 20% swim speed, the fastest on the roster. The wiki notes the trigger ignores terrain — it fires through walls.

The Tactical Gear

Emergency Evasion Device is this operator's tactical gear. The wiki's own table gives this ability a 120-second cooldown and a 20-second window, and records the anchor's range as about 100 m after a later patch widened it.

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.

Skin	Note
Western Past	Recorded with Season 10 and its pass. The wiki notes it still has no in-game capture.

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.
