Two Guards Call a Truce to Tour Delta Force’s Season Aurora

A HAAVK guard and an Ahsarah guard have agreed to spend one day without shooting at each other. The Season Aurora Update Overview makes them unlikely tour guides, following the pair from the reworked Brakkesh extraction map to the new Zenith Port battlefield. Their truce is the joke, but the choice of guides is apt: in Brakkesh, the two factions now give players a reason to seek them out before heading for extraction. Aurora launched on November 10, 2026, for PC, mobile, and console.

Brakkesh 2.0 Gives Operations Players a Side to Choose

The Brakkesh update reworks Babel and the Central Command Zone. It also adds a faction clash that starts inside the match: find a hidden HAAVK or Ahsarah contact, choose an allegiance, and claim a faction badge. Completing faction missions levels up the badge, and level 2 opens further activities, including faction milestones and hunts. Garena lists the Faction Badge event through November 26 and the broader Brakkesh Renewed event through December 10.

For returning players, the layout changes and faction missions give familiar runs two new considerations. The first is where to go: a route through Babel that worked last season may need another look. The second is how much to take on before leaving. Looking for a contact and pursuing a faction mission can make a run more rewarding, but every extra stop adds time before extraction. That’s where the overview’s two guides point to something more substantial than a map refresh.

Zenith Port Can Push a Warfare Match onto the Rooftops

Zenith Port begins as a coastal assault and can change character once Riptide triggers. Intercepted missiles explode offshore, sending waves through the battlefield and shifting the fighting towards the rooftops. The water affects vehicles too: the patch adds wave motion for amphibious vehicles and watercraft on this map.

The transition gives teams a reason to look at the port vertically from the start. A route that makes sense during the initial assault may matter less after the waves arrive, while buildings that seemed peripheral can become useful positions. For players who want a first objective beyond learning the map, the Battle of Zenith Port event runs through November 19, with mission rewards that include the Toro Scatenato tank appearance.

Martelo and the AN-94 Join at Launch

Veronica Cardozo, codename Martelo, is Aurora’s new Assault Operator and is available through the free Season Pass track. Her Ariete reduces incoming frontal damage during a charge and ends with a strike that can knock enemies down. Smoke Halo adds cover, while Guerreira briefly boosts movement and reload speed after a knockdown or when her health falls below a threshold. The charge is the obvious spectacle, but the smoke gives her squad another way to use the opening she creates.

Aurora also adds the AN-94 assault rifle, with launch missions that award the Breakout avatar and Armament Vouchers. Players who prefer to test a loadout before taking it into a match can use the updated firing range to try operator abilities and configure training dummies as allies or enemies, with options for movement, health, and armour. That makes the range useful for learning how a gadget behaves as well as getting a feel for a new weapon.

AZ3 Supercritical Is Scheduled for December

One of the season’s headline Operations additions is still ahead. Garena lists AZ3: Supercritical for December 18, 2026, to January 25, 2027, as an expected availability window. Its Hard Operation requires Operations Level 30 and an entry value of 600,000 Tekniq Alloys. That entry value is the listed gear threshold for the operation.

For launch week, Brakkesh and Zenith Port offer two distinct places to start. If you play Operations, head to Babel and see how a faction assignment changes what you want to accomplish before extracting. If you play Warfare, learn the port in its opening state, then see which parts of that plan survive Riptide. The guards’ truce lasts a day; the changes they show each other will take longer to learn.
