Delta Force Aurora Patch Notes: Season 12 Operator, Maps and Weapons

Delta Force Aurora patch notes cover the Season 12 update that went live on November 10, 2026. Aurora adds the Assault Operator Martelo, the Warfare map Zenith Port, a substantially revised Brakkesh for Operations, the AN-94 rifle and new ammunition. The update also covers older weapons, vehicle handling and several game systems.

Garena followed the Delta Force Aurora patch notes from November 10 with another update on November 12. Here’s what changed, including the later fixes and the Supercritical mode that won’t arrive until December.

When did the Delta Force Aurora patch notes take effect?

Garena scheduled the no-downtime Aurora rollout for 10:00 UTC+8 on November 10, which was 02:00 GMT in the UK. The PC, Android and iOS notices all use that time. Ranked Operations and Warfare went off-season at 08:30 UTC+8, and the Operations entrance, matchmaking, Market and Auction House were temporarily closed at 09:59 UTC+8.

Those were one-off launch-day shutdowns, not daily maintenance windows. If the season content did not appear after the rollout, Garena advised restarting the client to finish installing the update. The publisher also warned iOS players to use iOS 13 or newer. Console-specific notes are covered separately in the publisher’s Steam announcements.

Martelo’s abilities in the Delta Force Aurora patch notes

The Delta Force Aurora patch notes introduce Veronica Cardozo, codename Martelo, as a new Assault Operator. Her Ariete ability is a forward charge that reduces damage taken from the front. Running into an enemy or wall triggers a Heavy Strike that damages and knocks down enemies nearby. You can also stop the charge early with a leap and slam.

Smoke Halo fires smoke grenades around Martelo, or can be held to aim a single shot at a selected position. Her high-explosive grenade detonates shortly after being thrown. Guerreira temporarily boosts movement and reload speed when she knocks down an enemy or falls below a health threshold.

Martelo is included as a free unlock through the new season Pass, although the public announcement does not specify the exact pass tier. Her dedicated event missions run until December 10 and offer Armament Vouchers and a Taunt calling card. On November 12, Smoke Halo’s sound attenuation was adjusted and the sound Martelo hears while turning with the gadget became private to her.

Brakkesh 2.0 and the new Zenith Port map

Operations players return to a reworked Brakkesh, especially the Babel terrain and Central Command Zone. The update introduces conflict between Ahsarah and Haavk, with hidden contact outposts and faction missions. Reaching Faction Badge Level 2 unlocks advanced milestones and hunts. Those faction contacts are hidden around Brakkesh, and Garena hasn’t given fixed coordinates for them.

The Delta Force Aurora patch notes also introduce Zenith Port, a coastal Warfare map featuring Riptide. Intercepted missiles explode offshore and generate waves that alter the battle, encouraging rooftop fights. Amphibious vehicles and watercraft visibly rise and fall with the waves. On November 12, the developer adjusted attacker spawns in Sector B, vehicle allocations in Sectors B and C and post-Riptide deployment bases in Sector C.

Battle of Zenith Port, the shorter event with the Toro Scatenato tank appearance among its milestone rewards, ends November 19. The general new-map mission promotion is listed through December 10. Those deadlines are not interchangeable.

AN-94, explosive ammunition and other weapon additions

The Delta Force Aurora patch notes list the AN-94 as a new 5.45x39mm Assault Rifle in the Arsenal. Its separate kill-mission event runs from November 10 to December 10 and offers the Breakout avatar plus Armament Vouchers. The published patch does not establish a particular account-level unlock rank, so open the Arsenal to confirm the condition shown on your platform.

Aurora also introduces .300BLK TIV and TTV ammunition. Both trigger a blast after multiple hits land within three seconds; neither explodes on every single impact. TIV has Level 4 penetration and TTV Level 5, while both are listed with a 0.95x damage multiplier, 1x armour penetration multiplier and four-metre blast radius.

There is also 5.56x45mm CINDER incendiary ammunition, which applies a burn effect on hits but increases weapon recoil. Limited-time Haavk attachment availability includes the PKM Bullpup Kit and HVK Binary Stock Kit, with separate acquisition instructions across Operations and Warfare.

What the Delta Force Aurora patch notes say about Supercritical

AZ3 Supercritical is a future Operations activity, not a mode that launched alongside Martelo. Garena’s expected event dates are December 18, 2026 to January 25, 2027. Hard Operation is listed with an Operations Level 30 requirement and 600,000 Tekniq Alloys entry value; Polaris Patrol is supported.

Supercritical is planned for December 18, not available to queue during the November launch. You can prepare the required level and entry value ahead of time. The November notes do not include extraction locations or promise permanent access.

Other changes worth checking after the update

The Delta Force Aurora patch notes include weapon balancing, vehicle adjustments and quality-of-life changes in all major modes. Operations players can exchange an Ammo Selection Pack directly while assembling a loadout, set saved helmet and vest durability, and preview upcoming Bazaar materials three days ahead of its refresh.

Warfare on PC gains a more immersive display mode and Verity visual improvements, with some features limited to Zenith Port. Detonation gains controller support and several interface improvements. Older season mission progress has been reset, so unfinished Season 11 objectives should not be assumed to carry over.

For the most current balance state, read the November 12 update alongside the Delta Force Aurora patch notes. The November 12 notes are particularly important for Martelo’s Smoke Halo and Zenith Port deployment points.
