Season War Ablaze introduced Raptor to Delta Force, a Recon Operator who’s a bounty hunter by trade. To go alongside him, and to fulfill your Western fantasy, there’s also the Marlin Lever-action rifle.
The Marlin Lever-action rifle has two distinct playstyles. One is long-range, focusing on stability and control. Second is close-range, with high fire-rate and hip-fire accuracy. Since it’s a marksman rifle, this guide covers the long-range build, but you can still have a ton of fun with this weapon when built into accuracy.
Here’s our best Marlin Lever-action rifle build in Delta Force.
Best Marlin Lever-action rifle build in Delta Force Warfare
While still important, the long-range build doesn’t need as much control as other weapons, like assault rifles. At 100 rpm, you primarily need to increase stability to ensure the scope stays in place as much as possible when firing.
Here are the best attachments for the Marlin Lever-action rifle in Delta Force:
| Slot | Attachment | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Optic | Recon 1.5/5 Adjustable Scope (personal preference) | -8 Handling +3 Stability |
| Killflash | Honeycomb Killflash | Significantly reduces glint visibility -3 Handling -3 Stability |
| Right Patch | KC Hound Handguard Panel | +1 Stability |
| Left Patch | KC Hound Handguard Panel | +1 Stability |
| Barrel | Marlin Hunter Barrel | +9 Range +10 Control -6 Handling +5 Stability |
| Upper Rail | KC Hound Handguard Panel | +1 Stability |
| Right Rail | DBAL-X2 Purple Laser-Light Combo | Increases Handling and Accuracy when enabled -4 Handling |
| Foregrip | CR Prism Hand Stop | Increases Firing Stability and Firing Camera Stability +6 Control |
| Stock | Marlin Stable Sniper Stock | +2 Control -2 Handling +6 Stability |
Marlin Hunter Barrel is designed for long-range combat, increasing effective range by nine meters, and offering more control and stability. There are three slots for KC Hound Handguard Panels to get more stability. Slot the DBAL-X2 Purple Laser-Light Combo in any of the remaining free barrel slots.
Foregrip doubles down on stability, along with the CR Prism Hand Stop. It increases both firing stability and firing camera stability. Similarly, the Marlin Stable Sniper Stock adds more stability and a bit more control.
This build doesn’t utilize any levers, which is a unique attachment for this weapon. The Marlin Rhino Lever increases damage, allowing for a one-shot to the body up close, but nullifies the range gains from the barrel. You could use it in a more aggressive playstyle, but then there’s also Marling Hummingbird Lever, which increases fire rate. Hummingbird Lever decreases headshot damage but still allows for a one-shot kill in Warfare with 102 damage to the head. Ultimately, it’s your pick when it comes to levers.

Best Marlin Lever-action rifle calibration settings in Delta Force
There aren’t that many calibrations you can do on a Marlin Lever-action rifle with this setup. You can only adjust the barrel and the foregrip, where firing stability and extra control take priority, but you don’t want to lose too much ADS speed, either.
Here are the best calibration settings for the Marlin Lever-action rifle in Delta Force:
| Slot | Setting | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Weight Limit: +50g | +4 percent Firing Stability -4 percent ADS Movement Speed |
| Foregrip | Placement: +2 Slot Thickness: -20mm |
+4 percent Extra Control -16 percent Stability When Moving +4 percent ADS Movement Speed -4 percent ADS Speed |
| Optic | N/A |
These settings increase firing stability and extra control by four percent each at the cost of four percent ADS speed. It’s a fairly minor calibration that you can adjust depending on the playstyle, but either way, it doesn’t have that much of an effect.
