Delta Force will begin its 2nd Anniversary Season, Reorientation, on September 8 across PC, mobile, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The update will add the Rover Support Operator, a major Layali Grove overhaul, the Fishing mode, The Mog Warfare map, new weapons, and a large set of balance and system changes, according to the official Steam announcement.

The rollout will not use downtime. On PC, Android, iOS, and console, Operations and Warfare ranked matches will enter the off-season at 00:30 UTC+0 on September 8. At 01:59 UTC+0, the Operations entrance and matchmaking mode will close, along with the Market and Auction House. The PC, Android, and iOS updates will become available at 02:00 UTC+0, while the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions will also become available at 02:00 UTC+0.

Reorientation events run through November 9

The playable content is only part of Reorientation. The official event and store schedule runs through November 9, with anniversary activities, weekly exchanges, limited collectibles, and a season pass layered over the new maps and modes.

The New Season Sign-in event runs from September 8 to September 17 and rewards accumulated login days with items including the Haavk Guard M4A1 appearance and the TurBrick Deltaversary Gifts series. The broader 2nd Anniversary Celebration lasts from September 8 to November 9. Its activity missions and milestone rewards include the Golden State AUG appearance and anniversary-themed avatar, charm, calling card, and spray paint cosmetics.

Operations events for Layali Grove 2.0, Rover, Space City extraction changes, and the MDR and Thompson run from September 8 to October 8. Players can complete the associated missions for Tactical Armament Vouchers and other rewards. Weekend Select also runs through November 9. Weekly Operations missions reset every Tuesday, their tokens can be exchanged for gear tickets, keycard supplies, weapon loadouts, and other tactical items, and unused tokens disappear when the season ends.

Reorientation adds shorter activities as well. Bird Nests can drop the Vlindflower collectible from September 8 to September 20, while the rarer Colorful Vlindflower Hidden Edition can appear in containers through November 9. Limited Haavk attachments for the HVK Weasel SMG Kit and HVK Windrage Feed Kit are available from September 8 to September 15. Warfare players will receive a season challenge and map activities, alongside short weekly supply events and a double Merit weekend on September 12 and 13.

The season pass runs from September 8 to November 9 and includes Rover on its free track, as well as operator and weapon appearances, a LAV-AA vehicle appearance, anti-tank mine items, Season Safe Box access, TurBricks, Delta Tickets, Armament Vouchers, tactical supplies, and Weapon EXP Tokens. The store schedule also includes the Rebirth appearance draw from September 8 to November 9, the Wyvern draw from September 11 to October 10, and seven-day login rewards that can be claimed between September 11 and October 8.

Rover brings a military dog to Delta Force

Rowan Walsh, known by the code name Rover, will join the Support roster with a military dog that can track enemies, pursue the nearest target, tackle them, and apply a Mark. Rover’s Dart Rifle will work differently between Operations and Warfare, while Irritant Smoke Grenades will force enemies inside the cloud to cough.

In Operations, Rover’s Guard Drive will make enemies hit by his gadgets easier for the dog to track, extend downed durations, and remove multiple limb injury stacks when Rover rescues an ally. His Warfare version, Prey Drive, will also improve tracking and resupply an ally’s ammunition after a rescue.

Rover’s full kit includes the Man’s Best Friend military dog, which continuously senses nearby enemies and tackles the nearest target when one is detected. His Operations Dart Rifle releases a mist that heals allies’ injured limbs while reducing enemy max HP and dealing damage over time. The Warfare version keeps the damage effect without the healing effect. Guard Drive improves tracking, extends downed durations, and removes limb injury stacks during rescues in Operations, while Prey Drive improves tracking and resupplies rescued allies’ ammunition in Warfare.

Layali Grove 2.0 adds boats, squad runs, and alternate routes

Layali Grove 2.0 will expand the Operations map with Serenity Bay, North Slope Caves, and the Haavk Underground Dock. The river network and map boundaries will be reworked, cover positions will change, and new supply containers and spawn points will be added. New spaces around locations such as the WSR Lab, caves, and fishing area will give squads more ways to approach familiar objectives.

The redesign also changes how players enter the map. Layali Grove previously offered only an Easy Mode solo queue, but Squad Fill now lets operators enter that mode with a team. Normal Mode will be available every weekend for squads that want a higher-stakes version of the map.

The reworked waterways connect more of Layali Grove, creating routes through trees, tunnels, and the river itself. The Assault Boat provides a protected and armed way to cross the map, while the smaller watercraft favors speed at the cost of greater exposure. Both choices can make a squad visible to teams looking for an interception.

A new Flagship Task called “Bounty: Wave Breaker” will ask players to steal and escort an Assault Boat from the Haavk Underground Dock for Reis before extracting it for rewards. It is also the first Operations flagship task that lets players earn a usable vehicle during a run. Squads must commit to the objective, take control of the boat, and escort it out while nearby teams decide whether to contest the move.

Four Jet Skis will be added across the map’s river areas, with two extra Jet Skis appearing when the task is inactive. Joe Reed, Zola Zar, and Taj Faris will appear as new NPCs who can be approached during matches.

The Transnova Station train extraction will also change. After the lever is pulled, the door will open after 1 minute, and extraction will become available 3 minutes later instead of 5 minutes. In addition, the blocked-off area inside Haavk WSR Lab will be removed and Layali Grove’s Insertion Point locations will be redesigned.

The official Layali Grove 2.0 announcement also adds quieter reasons to explore the map. Fishing areas, caves, and new encounters can pull squads away from their usual routes, while Harmonica becomes the first freely playable musical item in Operations. Operators can learn it in the Grove, collect additional versions, and perform alone or alongside other players. None of those diversions make the map safe, which is presumably why the river still comes with boats and not a diplomatic immunity system.

Layali Grove 2.0 keeps the map’s scale, sightlines, and open routes while giving cautious operators, organized squads, and returning players more decisions before extraction. Players can follow a task, take the water, search the caves, fish with the squad, play a Harmonica, or leave before another team turns the stop into a firefight.

The Mog will bring infantry fighting to Warfare

The new Warfare map, The Mog, will take players into smoke-filled street battles through the damaged districts of modern Mogadishu. The map will feature push-cart tug-of-war objectives, UH-60 Black Hawk air support, and combined-arms combat.

Fishing arrives before the 1v1 mode

Fishing will unlock at Operations Level 17 after players find Joe Reed in Layali Grove – Easy. The mode will support Zero Dam – Easy, Layali Grove – Easy, and AZ3 – Easy. Players will be able to use Float Fishing Rods and Lure Rods, buy equipment from the Fishing Store, and build custom rods through the Fishing Modify screen. Rods, lines, reels, and bait affect what players can handle, while each fishing area has its own catches and progression.

Fishing will use different timing and tension rules depending on the rod. Float Fishing requires players to reel in when the float fully sinks, while the Lure Rod requires attention to the line, the fish’s movement, and the tension indicator. White means low tension, yellow means medium tension, and red means high tension. Excessive tension can snap the line.

Catches will award Fishing EXP and raise the Fishing Level. The Gallery will track the highest rarity, maximum length, and maximum and minimum weight for each fish species, and those records will not depend on whether a fish is extracted or sold. Fishing gear and catches will receive a dedicated Fishing Exclusive Expansion Crate after the system is unlocked.

A new Operations 1v1 mode will arrive after the Mid-Season Update. Players will bring gear into a one-on-one standoff, choose the battlefield, and fight without consuming gear during the event.

Polaris Patrol will become available on October 16 in Space City. Players will choose between Desmoulins and the Adjutant, with each identity providing different appearances, abilities, and objectives. Desmoulins will require the Desmoulins File and a Security Director’s Work Badge, while the Heavy Guard and Comms Guard Adjutants will be unlocked by default but will require a Desmoulins in the squad.

Performance Ranks will award Director’s supplies, limited appearances, and a chance at red-quality collectibles. G.T.I. Operators will also be able to earn Performance Points by defeating Squad Desmoulins, with successful kills opening access to his mezzanine and its possible rewards. The mode will support Space City – Normal, AZ3 – Normal, and Space City – Hard.

Space City will also gain an additional random Switch Point 15 minutes into a match in either the Black Chamber or Buoyancy Lab. Combined with the existing Test Range and Centrifuge Facility switches, pulling any two will activate the Helicopter Extraction Point. Squad Desmoulins will receive an executive elevator and exclusive extraction point in the Space City garden, while G.T.I. players can use the special Access Card after killing a player-controlled Desmoulins.

Polaris Patrol includes Desmoulins’ Neural-Controlled Vehicle, Threat Imaging System, Seeker Bomb Vehicle, and Weakness Analysis, alongside the Adjutants’ remote bomb, smoke grenade, flare, airburst grenade, and Haavk Elite traits. The Desmoulins File unlocks at Operations Level 33 and contains five memories, of which players must complete three mission branches. Security Director’s Work Badges cost 250,000 Tekniq Alloys, with four initial purchases and one slot restored every 21 hours up to eight stored.

New ammunition, weapons, attachments, and vehicles

Reorientation will add .45 ACP Super Permanent Ammo, several season-limited 4.6x30mm rounds, and 12 Gauge DART ammunition. The update will also add the permanent APX Hybrid Sight, limited Haavk attachments for the M700, QJB201, and 93R, the MDR Assault Rifle, the Thompson SMG, and the Amphibious LSV.

The season adds the MDR in 7.62x51mm and the Thompson in .45 caliber, plus the APX Hybrid Sight and limited M700 HVK Whirlwind, QJB201 HVK Windrage, and 93R HVK Weasel attachments. The new ammunition includes Level 5 .45 ACP AP rounds, limb-focused 4.6x30mm CT, head and chest-focused 4.6x30mm FMJ ST and AP ST, and bleeding 12 Gauge DART rounds.

The Amphibious LSV will have Assault, Mortar, and Rocket Launcher variants. Players will be able to spend points during combat to unlock the latter two variants, deploy them directly, and replenish their primary weapon ammunition at supply stations.

Patch Notes

Reorientation will also reset Season 10 mission progress, introduce a new Season 11 mission line, reduce several early mission requirements, add Drag Rescue, expand the EDC Tool Kit, adjust vehicle deployment, and make changes to weapons and Support Operators. The update will also add a Vulcan Cannon to Free Build, new Victory Unite matchmaking and room options, a pre-selected Commander system, the Victors Assembly squad feature, new achievements and match ratings, and collection-screen search, favorites, and random appearance tools.

Season 10 mission progress will be cleared, including previous Ultimate Safe Box access and trial cards. Season 11 reduces several Phase Two and Phase Three mission requirements, unlocks side missions earlier, removes the Tide Prison mission, and lowers the submission requirements for Ultimate Safe Box rewards.

Drag Rescue will allow players to move a rescued teammate during a rescue. It is enabled by default for Desmoulins’ squad in Operations and for all operators in Warfare. Other gameplay changes include new mobile movement settings, improved AZ3 vegetation, signal-jamming map markers, revised Warfare vehicle spawns, a Vulcan Cannon fortification, adjusted objectives and redeploy positions, and Amphibious LSV replacements on several maps.

The EDC Tool Kit will unlock at Operations Level 17 with a Portable Tool and can carry supported collectibles, drones, fishing rods, and the Petite Madame – Requin Model without affecting normal entry value or being lost on a failed extraction.

The collection screen will gain vehicle appearance management, favorites, text search, and random appearance options. New achievements cover Polaris Patrol, fast Operations knockdowns, team-wide Warfare contributions, the Coup rating, and Fishing Level Certification.

Weapon changes include reduced M250 recoil on mobile, improved K437 and sniper attachments, movement-based accuracy penalties for Operations sniper rifles, customizable hip-fire crosshairs, smoother bolt-action recovery, and revised M1911 and Desert Eagle firing animations. Hackclaw, Vlinder, Toxik, Stinger, and N-Two will also receive cooldown, range, healing, smoke, ammo, and Cryo-Flask adjustments. Flashbang and stun gadget damage is reduced, and Shepherd’s Sonic Trap and Gizmo’s T.I.M. receive deployment audio cues.

Reorientation will give Delta Force a new Support Operator and several ways to spend time outside its usual firefights, but the update also changes extraction timing, vehicle access, mission progression, ranked schedules, weapon handling, and the seasonal reward calendar. Players who want to preserve Season 10 progress should finish those missions before the September 8 reset.
