Raptor Calls Down the Storm in Delta Force’s Breath of Thunder Trailer

Wings and thunder set the tone for Breath of Thunder, Raptor’s new Ultimate Appearance in Delta Force. The trailer puts the Recon operator at the centre of a cosmetic collection that extends to his weapon, accessories, voice lines and an exclusive execution. Released on 5 November 2026, the showcase leads into the Aurora season rollout, with the promotional announcement naming 13 November as the appearance’s arrival date.

There’s a discrepancy in the published schedule: the announcement carried by the official social account says 13 November, while the Aurora store notes list the associated Operator Research from 10 November. The collection and its acquisition system are detailed in those notes, but they don’t explain why the dates differ.

Breath of Thunder includes an M700 skin and a new execution

The main reward is Raptor – Breath of Thunder, accompanied by a matching M700 sniper rifle appearance. The collection also contains a charm, watch, emote, profile card and spray, plus three voice lines and an exclusive execution. That makes it a coordinated set for players who want the theme to carry through their loadout and profile, rather than a standalone operator skin.

The M700 appearance is a separate item within the same collection, so it’s worth checking the full reward pool if the rifle is your main interest. The operator appearance is the key prize in the listed acquisition rules: obtaining it awards all remaining rewards in the current prize pool. You don’t have to keep drawing afterwards to finish collecting the accompanying items.

How to obtain Raptor’s Ultimate Appearance

Breath of Thunder is listed under Operator Research, where players participate using Delta Tickets or Delta Coins. The published event window runs from 10 November 2026 to 9 November 2027. The notice confirms the currencies and the rule for receiving the remaining prizes, but it doesn’t provide a total guaranteed cost for the collection. That leaves the in-game event page as the place to check the draw prices and complete reward rules before spending.

The dates deserve that same check. The 5 November promotional post gives 13 November for Breath of Thunder, and the Japanese promotional listing repeats that date. The later Aurora notes give the earlier start for Operator Research. Neither source states that the difference is regional or platform-specific, so it would be premature to treat one date as a confirmed correction of the other.

Who is Raptor in Delta Force?

Behind the appearance is Landon Harrison, the Recon operator introduced in the War Ablaze season. His original trailer describes him as a bounty hunter specialising in information warfare and drone-based intelligence gathering. Breath of Thunder gives an existing operator a new presentation; Aurora’s new playable operator is Martelo, who fills the Assault role.

Raptor’s kit explains the emphasis on watching the battlefield from above. Silver Wing is a manually controlled drone that can mark enemies, carry an EMP grenade and deploy a Wing Cam. The Wing Cam attaches a surveillance device to a target and periodically reveals their position. His EMP Grenade disrupts enemy electronics, giving him a way to interfere with equipment as well as find the operators using it.

His tracking tools also differ between the two main modes. In Warfare, his threat indicator points towards an enemy aiming at him. In Operations, he can examine recent footprints and opened containers for information about opponents. For players trying him for the first time, that intelligence-gathering role is the practical reason to pick Raptor, whatever appearance he’s wearing.

Aurora brings new ground for Recon players to cover

The appearance arrives around an update that changes both sides of Delta Force. Zenith Port joins Warfare with the Riptide event, where a sustained missile barrage triggers huge waves and shifts the battle towards rooftops. In Operations, Brakkesh 2.0 revises the map and introduces faction missions for Ahsarah and HAAVK. Those are new spaces in which information about enemy positions and movement can help a squad choose its approach.

For collectors, the next step is simpler: look for Raptor – Breath of Thunder in Operator Research and check the availability shown on your account. The trailer advertises 13 November, while the store announcement already documents what the collection contains and how its main prize unlocks the rest.
