Delta Force Season Aurora goes live on November 10 on PC, mobile and consoles, and it brings a new Assault operator called Martelo, a new Warfare map named Zenith Port and a reworked Brakkesh for Operations. Team Jade has not announced a start time or maintenance window yet. If you play with a cheat, a client update this size means every build gets checked against the new version again, so don't launch anything on patch day until its status shows undetected.
We track that status for every build on our Delta Force cheats page and update it as developers confirm their loaders against the new client. We can't promise any specific build will work the hour Aurora drops, and nobody honest can. Below is what changes in the season, which parts of it affect ESP, aim and loot tools, and how we'd handle the first day.
Season Aurora release date and what is still unconfirmed
The date comes from the official Delta Force account: "New Season Aurora dawns November 10." Content details followed on October 30 in a developer preview and press release. The current season, Reorientation, and its Season Pass run until November 9, and so do the Halloween events.
The launch hour is the open question. Reorientation went live on September 8 at 02:00 UTC as a no-downtime update, and on PC ranked matches moved into the off-season a little earlier. Aurora may follow a similar schedule, but that's only a guess based on the last launch. Watch the Steam news feed for the exact time. Garena regions (Southeast Asia, LatAm, Middle East) reportedly run on their own calendar, so November 10 refers to the global version.
Zenith Port: a Warfare map with water, rooftops and a flood
"Deploy to Zenith Port, the new Warfare map arriving with Season Aurora on November 10." That's the official line, and the press coverage fills in the rest: a seaside port city where attacks come from the water, through the streets and up onto high ground, built with extended Unreal Engine 5 features. Map size and player count are unknown.
Then there's Riptide, a dynamic event. According to the preview coverage, it floods the low points of the map and pushes the fight up onto higher ground. So the routes you memorize in the first hour may be underwater twenty minutes later.
Why a radar earns its slot here
On a map nobody knows yet, the first week is messy for everyone, with new sightlines and squads showing up from angles you haven't learned. A minimap radar or a clean player ESP gives you the positions the map hasn't taught you. We covered how that works on the existing maps in our piece on using a radar in Delta Force Warfare, and the same logic applies to Zenith Port with more vertical layers to read.
Martelo's kit puts smoke and a shield between you and your target
Martelo is Veronica Cardozo, an Assault operator. Here is what the trailer cards and press reports describe:
- Ariete: a ram shield with a fast forward dash that hits the target. You can cancel the dash with a shield bash, and a direct hit deals damage and briefly immobilizes.
- Smoke Halo: a shoulder-mounted smoke launcher. Tap it for a ring of smoke around yourself, hold it to fire a single grenade at a chosen point.
- HE Grenade: a standard high-explosive frag.
- Guerreira trait: faster sprint and reload after a kill or when health drops below a threshold.
Cooldowns, damage, shield durability and the Guerreira threshold haven't been released. Martelo reportedly unlocks for free through the Season Pass, but the tier isn't known.
Smoke and a shield both block sight, and that matters for cheats. When half a squad sits inside a smoke ring, chams and ESP that draw models through cover become more useful than raw aim speed. Visibility checks in the aimbot also matter more: an aimbot that snaps to a body behind a wall of smoke is easy to spot from the killcam. Settings that limit aim to visible bones look far more natural against a Martelo player.
Brakkesh 2.0 and the Operations side of Aurora
For extraction players, the headline is Brakkesh 2.0. Press coverage mentions new routes and faction tasks. Some reports add that another squad can intercept you during the flagship mission, and that Central Control gets new doors, cover and glass. A PlayGround post on Steam on October 30 also said new routes and cover arrive November 10.
For loot ESP users this means relearning the map. Container spots you knew may now sit behind different doors, and the safe paths to good loot are changing. Our guide to loot ESP and finding Mandelbrick in Operations still explains how price and category filters work, which is what helps when a familiar map stops being familiar.
AZ3 Challenge is a mid-season event
The AZ3 Challenge (also called AZ3 Supercritical) is a limited trial where a radiation zone spreads and shrinks the battlefield while extraction points open as the match goes on. Several sources say it arrives mid-season, not on November 10, and no exact date exists yet.
Season wipe: nothing announced
Team Jade hasn't said anything about a wipe for Aurora, so don't believe anyone who claims to know. For reference, when Reorientation launched, the official post said S10 task progress reset completely, the seasonal Ultimate Safe Box and all Safe Box Trial Cards expired, and a new S11 task line started. That post said nothing about stash, Tekniq Alloys, level or rank.
Other Aurora content worth knowing
A few extras round out the season, according to press coverage of the developer preview:
- AN-94: a new assault rifle with a fast, accurate two-round burst.
- Firing Range 2.0: moving targets, timed runs, stats, ability test targets and operator switching on the range. A decent place to tune aim smoothing.
- Phantom Blade Zero collab: starts November 10. The official post names Sanguine, a Legendary appearance and the first two-handed melee weapon in the game, plus a free Legendary G3 "Seven-Star" for playing.
- Holiday events: Christmas and New Year events come later in the season.

How hard G.T.I. is banning right now
The anti-cheat team posts weekly penalty reports on Steam, and the numbers from September and October 2026 are worth looking at before a new season. In the week of October 5 to 11, G.T.I. issued 983 ten-year PC bans, 133 of them DMA-related actions, blocked 11,641 devices for a year and kicked 5,934 players out of live matches. Earlier weeks in September show 709 to 864 ten-year bans. The latest report on Steam is from October 12. We haven't seen numbers for late October.
Squadmates get punished too. Every week brings 120 to 146 warnings for playing alongside a cheater, plus around 20 bans with confiscation of gains. A separate October notice targets RMT through queue sniping, where squads funnel loot between matches; Tekniq Alloys earned that way are removed completely.
No season-specific ban wave has been announced. Still, checks tend to tighten after big patches, which is another reason to wait for confirmed status. If you've already been flagged, read our explainer on the Delta Force HWID ban and how a spoofer fits in before playing on the same hardware.
Delta Force undetected cheats to look at for Season Aurora
Everything below was undetected in our catalog before the patch. After November 10, recheck each card: status can switch to updating while developers adapt.
| Build | Best for | Price (day / week / month) | Client and system notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NN DELTA FORCE | Full kit: Silent Aim, vector aim, thermal vision, operator ability highlights, Streamproof | about $5 / $18 / $41 | Steam only, Windows 10 and 11 |
| ANCIENT | Budget pick with radar and a bundled spoofer | $4 / $20 / $40 | Steam only, Windows 10 1903+ and 11 |
| GHOST CHAMS | Just chams on enemies through walls and cover | about $4 / $12 / $24 | Steam only, Windows 10 and 11 |
| FECURITY | Aim with prediction, loot and vehicle ESP | $6 / $35 / $75 | Steam or game launcher; Intel CPUs only, Xeon not supported |
| CROOKED | Loot ESP sorted by price and type, bot and player info | about $5 / $21 / $47 | Steam or game launcher; does not work on Windows 11 24H2 |
For Zenith Port, esp delta force setups like the NN build's player and AI ESP with visibility colors, or plain chams, help most while the map is still unfamiliar. For Brakkesh 2.0, the loot filters in Crooked and Fecurity are the better fit. Check the system notes before you buy: Fecurity needs an Intel CPU, and Crooked won't run on Windows 11 24H2. We don't list any DMA product for Delta Force, and BTG and DULLWAVE are currently marked updating, so we aren't recommending them.
A patch-day routine that keeps your account safe
- Update the game client first, then check the build's card on the hub before you open the loader.
- If the status says updating, wait. Launching an unconfirmed build on a fresh client is the biggest avoidable risk.
- Rebuild configs on the new Firing Range instead of in ranked or Operations.
- Keep visuals subtle on Zenith Port for the first few days while everyone reviews killcams.
The full list with live status, prices and requirements is on our Delta Force hacks and cheats hub, and we refresh it as each developer confirms compatibility after the update. Questions about which build fits your setup get answered fast in our Telegram (300+ members) and Discord (2000+ members).
Season Aurora FAQ
What time does Delta Force Season Aurora start on November 10?
No official start time has been published. Reorientation launched at 02:00 UTC on September 8, so an early-morning UTC release is likely, but that's only a guess based on the last launch. Check the Steam news feed on November 9 and 10.
Will my Delta Force cheat work after the Aurora update?
Not automatically. A large client update means every build is checked again. ForgeCheats updates statuses as developers confirm their loaders, so open the card before launching and wait if it says updating.
Is there a wipe in Season Aurora?
Nothing has been announced. Last season reset seasonal tasks and expired the seasonal safe boxes and trial cards. The official post didn't mention stash, Tekniq Alloys or level.
Which Delta Force ESP works best for the new map?
Any build that marks players and bots through cover helps on an unfamiliar map. The NN build adds operator ability highlights and thermal vision, while chams-only options cost less. Compare them on the undetected Delta Force cheats page.
