Delta Force’s October 9 update delivers the brand-new Delta Force 1v1 mode, called Duel, to Operations, along with the Drag Rescue mechanic in Warfare and a wave of limited-time events offering free rewards. New Haavk season ammo follows with its event starting October 10. The update rolls out with no downtime and no impact on gameplay or matchmaking. If you encounter issues, restart the game; players with out-of-date clients must update to log in.
Delta Force 1v1 Mode: Duel Launches in Operations
The new 1v1 Duel mode is live in Operations. Select your Operator, bring a custom loadout from outside the match, invite a close friend and start a lightning-fast duel. Head to the mode’s entry to experience pure, hardcore 1v1 combat.
New Season Ammo: 5.7×28mm HT, HT+ and 7.62×51mm LS
The Season-Exclusive Ammo event runs October 10–16 and introduces Haavk special rounds. The 7.62 x 51mm LS and 5.7 x 28mm HT can be purchased from the Auction House or found with a low drop chance in Ammo Crates during Operations matches. The 5.7 x 28mm HT+ variant is also listed as new season ammo, though the source does not specify how it is obtained.
- 5.7 x 28mm HT+: A blunt-damage round with Level 4 penetration, a 1.2× base damage multiplier and a 0.2× armor damage multiplier. The lower the enemy’s armor level, the more blunt damage dealt.
- 5.7 x 28mm HT: The same stats but with Level 3 penetration.
- 7.62 x 51mm LS: A high-velocity round with Level 5 penetration and 40% increased muzzle velocity, offset by 8% more vertical recoil. Headshots inflict Ear Ringing, reducing the enemy’s hearing range for 10 seconds.

Balance Adjustments and Bug Fixes
Mid-season tweaks affect weapon performance across modes. In Operations, the K437 Assault Rifle’s limb damage multiplier decreases from 0.4× to 0.3×. Across all modes, the QJB201 Light Machine Gun recoil increases on mobile versions, while the M14 Marksman Rifle recoil decreases on mobile. In Warfare’s Free Build, the Vulcan Cannon’s depression angle shifts from -5° to 0°.
Bug fixes tackle mobile touch input issues in Detonation (Bomb Defusal) and multiple map problems in The Mog, including accessible closed-off areas in the old embassy district, unbalanced positions and out-of-map positions. Also resolved are the Season Safe Box – Deltaversary Echo inspection animation sync issue, lingering collision after Nox’s Whirlwind Disc explodes and missing audio when Rover activates Man’s Best Friend while prone.
