Delta Force Zenith Port: Warfare Map and Riptide Wave Event

Delta Force Zenith Port is the new Warfare battlefield introduced in the Aurora update on November 10, 2026. Its defining feature is Riptide, a large-wave event triggered when intercepted missiles explode offshore. The fight begins on the coast, then Riptide forces both teams to rethink their routes.

Garena updated the map again on November 12, changing deployment bases, vehicles and some Riptide-related behaviour. Older launch videos may show spawn positions that no longer match the current build.

How to play Delta Force Zenith Port

Delta Force Zenith Port is a Warfare map, not a new Operations extraction location. Enter Warfare and select an available playlist that offers the map. Check the current Warfare playlists for Delta Force Zenith Port; the event notice does not promise a permanent map-only queue.

Garena’s new-map missions run from November 10 to December 10. While it is active, playing Delta Force Zenith Port and completing the relevant event missions awards Tactical Armament Vouchers. Those event missions are separate from the shorter Battle of Zenith Port reward track.

If it isn’t in rotation, look at the other Warfare playlists. It won’t appear on the Operations extraction map screen. The developer also recommends restarting the game if recently added season content does not show after updating.

What the Riptide event changes

The centrepiece of Delta Force Zenith Port is Riptide. Guided missiles are intercepted above the sea; their explosions generate enormous waves. Those waves change the flow of the coastal fight and push attention towards rooftop attack and defence as conditions change.

Riptide is not simply a decorative effect. The Aurora patch notes confirm that amphibious vehicles and watercraft rise and fall with the waves on Zenith Port. That makes the timing of a water crossing and the visibility of routes more important than on a static battlefield.

Before Riptide hits, look for positions overlooking the coast. Once the waves arrive, watch which crossings become awkward and where the fight shifts to the rooftops.

November 12 Delta Force Zenith Port balance changes

Two days after release, the developer made changes to several sectors. In Sector B, existing attacker deployment bases were adjusted and new ones were added. Attackers with low reinforcements in that sector now receive a Wheeled Tank Destroyer rather than the previous vehicle arrangement.

Sector C also changed. Defenders now receive an Infantry Fighting Vehicle as their deployment vehicle, and one deployment base was added for each side after the Riptide event. That means routes from launch-day videos may send you towards an outdated spawn point.

The November 12 update also corrected issues with buses causing abnormal explosion damage, collision around buildings in Sector A, redeployment in Sector B, and objective destruction markers responding too late when Riptide occurred. Those were bugs, not intended map hazards.

Battle of Zenith Port event rewards and end date

Battle of Zenith Port runs from November 10 through November 19, 2026. To progress, play the new map, complete the event missions and earn event points. Active milestones award rewards including the Toro Scatenato tank appearance and Premium Weapon EXP Tokens.

The Toro Scatenato tank appearance is a milestone reward, not a login bonus. Open Battle of Zenith Port to check the event points you still need, then claim the reward when it unlocks.

Keep the dates straight: the general new-map event is advertised until December 10, while the Battle of Zenith Port reward event ends November 19. Waiting until December to finish the latter would miss its listed window.

Tips for returning to Delta Force Zenith Port after the patch

Start by checking the revised Sector B and C deployment points. Recheck the map after each phase instead of relying on a launch-day route guide. If your team is attacking, confirm where reinforcements actually arrive before committing to a long push from an old spawn.

During Riptide, keep an eye on the shoreline before committing to a crossing. Wave movement changes watercraft behaviour, and the added post-event bases mean both teams can regroup differently than they did on November 10. Where possible, keep a second line of approach in mind rather than piling the entire squad into the same crossing.

The new PC Verity audiovisual features are currently available on Zenith Port according to the Aurora notes. That is a platform-specific setting, not a separate reward or a reason to expect the exact same visuals on every device.
