Delta Force Brakkesh 2.0: Pick a Faction, Hunt Rival Squads and Finally Get Through That Control Room Door

Brakkesh 2.0 is a big rework of one of Delta Force's Operations maps. In a developer blog on 15 November, Team Jade explained the three main changes: you now pick a faction (Ahsarah or HAAVK) and take on its jobs with a badge that carries progress between runs; the dreaded control room has new entrances and earlier upstairs access; and starting a major faction mission can make your squad the target of a hunt by players working for the other side.

Brakkesh 2.0 at a glance

How do factions work in Brakkesh 2.0?

Your squad's first call is which side to work for. Ahsarah wants a tower reclaimed, so you push into it. HAAVK wants cargo delivered, so you hold your ground while it moves. Completing tasks levels up your own badge, which unlocks tougher work and keeps your progress between runs. At the highest badge level, your badge can turn a limited number of enemy guards friendly, though not the whole faction and not the bosses. You can switch sides mid-run, and your faction status records it.

What changed in the Brakkesh control room?

Team Jade admits the control room was a "familiar headache" where squads got stuck outside the same doorway. Now:

• The entrances have changed, and you can use throwables at the rear entrance before stepping through.
• The upper floor is reachable earlier, giving another way in if the ground floor stalls.
• Some cover below is simpler.
• A new narrow enclosed passage between the wings cuts outside fire but still needs your team to cover the push.
• The two wings look different now, with new wall colours, lighting, cover shapes and elevator exits: wide, display-like cover on one side, narrower cover with plants on the other.

How do hunts work in Delta Force?

When you start a major faction mission, squads working for the other side can take on a hunt for you, and you're notified when they do. Hunters get a rough search area that updates at intervals, never a live exact position. The hunted can slip out of the last reported area between updates. And a third squad can always turn up uninvited.

When is Brakkesh 2.0 coming?

The blog doesn't give a date; it asks players how their time in the city is going, as part of Season Aurora. We'll add a date when Team Jade confirms it.

Is Delta Force free?

Yes, Delta Force is free to play on Steam, where official trailers play.
