Delta Force’s Season Aurora goes live on November 10 at 02:00 UTC, which is 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) on Monday, November 9, in the US, on PC, mobile, Xbox Series X|S and PS5, Team Jade announced in a Season Aurora post on Steam on November 7. It brings a new Assault operator, Martelo, a reworked Brakkesh, the Warfare map Zenith Port and the AN-94 assault rifle.
The Details
Team Jade calls it a “non-stop update” for every version of Delta Force. The headline additions:
- Martelo, a new Assault operator. Veronica Cardozo charges forward behind her Ariete shield, taking less damage from the front, and the charge ends in a Heavy Strike that knocks enemies down. Her kit adds a Smoke Halo launcher, a high-explosive grenade and Guerreira, a passive that boosts movement and reload speed after a knockdown or at low HP.
- Brakkesh 2.0. The Operations map gets “major map updates,” with Haavk Corp and the Ahsarah Guard going head-to-head.
- Zenith Port, a new Warfare map. Its Riptide event sends intercepted missiles into the sea, raising waves that push the fight onto the rooftops. The Akh Canal map leaves Warfare.
- AZ3: Supercritical. A Hard Operation that needs Operations Level 30 and a 600,000 Tekniq Alloys entry value. Team Jade expects it to open from December 18, 2026, to January 25, 2027, so it is not there on day one.
- AN-94 and new ammo. The AN-94 fires 5.45x39mm, and new rounds include explosive .300BLK and incendiary 5.56x45mm CINDER.
What This Means for Players
Your season missions reset. The notes say all Season 11 mission progress is cleared, and any Ultimate Safe Box Season Access and Safe Box Trial Cards (used or not) expire, before a new Season 12 mission line starts. Finish what you are close to before Monday evening (US time).
The meta will move. The season brings a long list of weapon and operator changes, including a Warfare nerf to the Thompson SMG’s headshot multiplier (1.9x to 1.6x) and a lower minimum damage on Luna’s frag grenade. Our best weapons picks and best operator guide are built on the Reorientation season’s balance notes, so read them with the new changes in mind.
Everyone updates together. The update hits PC, mobile and console at the same moment, so squads that play across devices can use our crossplay guide to group up after the patch. Every guide is on our Delta Force hub.
When and Where
For every platform, ranked Operations and Warfare matches go off-season at 00:30 UTC on November 10 (7:30 PM EST, 4:30 PM PST, November 9).
