Delta Force Season Aurora Starts November 10: New Operator Martelo, the AN-94 and Update Times

Delta Force Season Aurora launches on November 10, with the update arriving at 02:00 UTC (02:00 GMT / 03:00 CET) on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and mobile. The official announcement adds a new Assault operator, Veronica Cardozo (codename Martelo), the AN-94 assault rifle, new ammo types, a Brakkesh map update for Operations and a long list of balance changes. It's a "non-stop update", so the game stays up while it rolls out.

What new weapons and ammo are in Season Aurora?

The AN-94 Assault Rifle joins the arsenal, along with five new ammo types:

• .300BLK TIV and TTV: rounds with micro explosives. Landing several hits within 3 seconds sets off a 4 m explosion (Level 4 and Level 5 penetration).
• 5.56x45mm CINDER: incendiary rounds that burn the target over time, but add recoil.
• 9x19mm 7N30: cheaper armor-piercing ammo (Level 5) with more recoil.
• 5.45mm SPALL: hits make enemies take longer to repair their helmet and vest for a short time.

Limited-time Haavk attachments include a binary trigger stock kit for the SR-25, a PKM bullpup kit and an M250 Monolith magazine.

What else changes in Season Aurora?

• Season reset: all Season 11 mission progress is cleared, older Ultimate Safe Box season access and Safe Box Trial Cards expire, and a new Season 12 mission line begins.
• Warfare vehicles: TV-guided missiles can be shot down mid-flight, wheeled tank destroyers keep more speed with a destroyed engine, and boats and amphibious vehicles now ride the waves on Zenith Port.
• Detonation mode: map layout changes, clearer bomb site markers and a helmet and vest durability display.
• Animation: better kill reactions, and slung weapons now move with physics.

Is Delta Force free?

Yes, Delta Force is free-to-play on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and mobile. About 43,700 people were playing on Steam when we checked on November 7.
