His kit is centered on intelligence gathering and disrupting enemy electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Throwable \u2013 EMP Grenade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Raptor carries two EMP grenades on a 55-second cooldown. With a ~10-meter effective radius, each grenade disables enemy electronics for ~15 seconds, including skills, attachments, and optics. This can remove reticles from holographic sights and hide visible lasers. Affected targets are momentarily shocked, preventing aiming or sprinting for ~0.5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tactical \u2013 Silver Wing Recon Drone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A manually controlled drone on a 60-second cooldown with ~20-second flight time. It travels around 10 m\/s and marks enemies within a wide forward cone (~90 m), even through smoke. If not shot down, it can be self-destructed: it accelerates to ~30 m\/s, dealing minor impact damage and detonating an onboard EMP on contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passive \u2013 Trace Scanner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Raptor sees recent enemy footprints and opened containers. Scanning a trace reveals the enemy\u2019s ID\/class, gear level, and current location, enabling precise pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ultimate \u2013 Spy Camera (Hummingbird)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatically detects enemies within ~30 meters, and can be chained with Passive scans to tag a target beyond that radius. On activation, a spy cam attaches to the target\u2019s shoulder, revealing their position five times at one-second intervals. If the target destroys the camera after ~3 seconds, the camera\u2019s deploy origin is revealed once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maps, Events, and Mission Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This season expands the battlefield with a brand-new Warfare map and transforms a familiar Operation map with a dynamic event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Warfare Map \u2013 Fault<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A new Warfare map set in a war-torn mountain city, designed for close-quarters urban fights and vehicle warfare. It is large enough to support aerial vehicles, including the new fighter jet class. Design includes additional safe spawn logic to curb spawn camping in objective modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longbow Valley (Layali Grove) \u2013 Wildfire Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This dynamic event transforms Longbow Valley (also referred to as <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/delta-force\/boost\/layali-grove\/\">Layali Grove<\/a> in some client languages). Following a localized volcanic eruption, the church area is permanently ablaze and now contains three additional safes. Seven minutes into a match, dense fog drops visibility to ~30\u201340 meters. Interior zones fill with damaging lava, punishing careless movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Space City Expansion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/delta-force\/boost\/hard-space-city\/\">Space City<\/a> gains a new ground-level area between the rocket launch and dormitory sections. The current boss, Deu Lands, will be replaced this season. The added space opens new routes and flanks across the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tide Prison \u2013 New Warden &amp; Missions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two high-value missions arrive: Operation Warden and Operation Raven. Squads can ally with either the Warden (Ghroth) or a prisoner named Raven to take down the other. After one is eliminated, the temporary ally turns hostile, forcing a clean exit or second engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/delta-force-rent-a-booster-service.webp\" alt=\"Delta Force Rent a Booster Service\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy Delta Force Rent a Booster Service<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/delta-force\/boost\/rent-a-booster\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operator Balance Changes \u2013 Hackclaw, Tempest &amp; Luna Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/delta-force-new-season-18.webp\" alt=\"War Ablaze New Season Guide \u2013 Operation Mode Changes, New Weapons, Entry Cost Updates &amp; Safe Spawn Points for Console Players\" class=\"wp-image-33351\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/delta-force-new-season-18.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/delta-force-new-season-18-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/delta-force-new-season-18-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Season 6 brings significant buffs to improve pick-rates and utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Operator<\/td><td>Ability\/Aspect<\/td><td>Before (Season 5)<\/td><td>After (Season 6)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.playdeltaforce.com\/act\/officialwiki\/en\/#\/operator\/88000000026\">Hackclaw<\/a><\/td><td>Ultimate Duration<\/td><td>12 seconds (2 scans)<\/td><td>24 seconds (4 scans)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Data Knife<\/td><td>No directional tracking<\/td><td>Shows a line toward enemies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tempest<\/td><td>Ultimate Cooldown<\/td><td>120 seconds<\/td><td>70 seconds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Ultimate Pullback Range<\/td><td>60 meters<\/td><td>110 meters<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Pullback Speed<\/td><td>Standard<\/td><td>Increased<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.playdeltaforce.com\/act\/officialwiki\/en\/#\/operator\/88000000028\">Luna<\/a><\/td><td>Visuals<\/td><td>Original face model<\/td><td>Updated face model<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weapon Balance Overhaul &amp; Patch Notes \u2013 Season 6 Meta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This season delivers one of the most extensive weapon balance updates to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Armory Additions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MK47 (Assault Rifle)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>7.62\u00d739mm platform with automatic and burst-fire modes.

Non-contributing teammates must wait 120 seconds, wait for the owner to finish, or request permission. Squad settings can customize this behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revamped Seasonal Missions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Progression for the 3\u00d73 safebox is restructured into three tracks: Action (primary\/side), Collector, and Destiny contracts. Multiple tracks can be advanced in parallel to avoid blockers. Completing all Destiny contracts awards a special golden 3\u00d73 safebox for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission Stealing &amp; Hard Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a squad carrying a high-value contract is eliminated, others can pick it up.

Unlike some previous updates with staggered rollouts, this season will arrive at the same time on PC, consoles, and mobile, ensuring all players can access the new content together. This date also lines up with the seasonal reset, so progression and rewards all begin fresh at launch."},{"question":"What are the biggest new features in Season 6?","answer":"The new season adds several headline features: the Recon operator Raptor, a brand new Warfare map Fault, the Wildfire event in Longbow Valley, two new weapons (MK47 and Lever-Action Rifle), and the debut of fighter jets for air combat. Additionally, there is a weapon balance overhaul, a revamped mission system, and updates to QoL and console performance such as 120 FPS support."},{"question":"Who is the new Recon Operator Raptor?","answer":"Raptor (Landon Harrison) is the first male Recon operator introduced to the game. His playstyle revolves around intel gathering and electronic disruption, giving squads powerful scouting tools. His ability kit is designed to reveal enemy movement, disable equipment, and provide real-time tracking\u2014making him valuable in both Operation Mode and large-scale Warfare battles."},{"question":"What does Raptor\u2019s EMP Grenade do?","answer":"Raptor\u2019s throwable EMP Grenades disable all enemy electronics within a ~10-meter radius for about 15 seconds. This includes gadgets, lasers, optics, and even electronic skills. Players hit by the blast also suffer a brief stun (~0.5 seconds), preventing them from aiming or sprinting. While it doesn\u2019t deal direct damage, the grenade can swing fights by stripping away enemy tech advantages."},{"question":"How does Raptor\u2019s Silver Wing Drone work?","answer":"The Silver Wing Recon Drone is manually piloted and lasts for 20 seconds on a 60-second cooldown. It marks all enemies in its vision cone (around 90 meters) and can spot through smoke. If the drone isn\u2019t destroyed, it can be triggered to self-destruct\u2014rushing toward a target at 30 m\/s, dealing impact damage, and detonating an onboard EMP grenade. This makes it both a recon tool and an offensive gadget."},{"question":"What is Raptor\u2019s passive Trace Scanner?","answer":"The Trace Scanner highlights recent enemy footprints and opened loot containers. Scanning these traces reveals the opponent\u2019s operator class, gear level, and current position, as well as how recent the trace is. This lets Raptor effectively hunt down targets that would otherwise remain hidden, making him a perfect counter to stealthy or flanking playstyles."},{"question":"What does Raptor\u2019s ultimate Spy Camera do?","answer":"Raptor\u2019s Spy Camera (Hummingbird) can attach directly to an enemy or their path. Once deployed, it reveals the enemy\u2019s position five times at one-second intervals, essentially giving your squad a moving radar ping. Enemies can destroy the camera after about three seconds, but doing so exposes the location where it was placed. The ultimate is particularly effective in Operation Mode, where tracking one geared target can decide an engagement."},{"question":"What is the new Warfare map Fault?","answer":"Fault is the new large-scale Warfare map set in a mountain city ruined by war. It mixes vertical urban combat with open ridges and is designed to handle air combat with the new fighter jets. The map includes safe spawn points to reduce camping, making it more balanced for objective modes. Fault\u2019s mix of tight streets and wide skies makes it one of the most diverse maps to date."},{"question":"What happens in the Longbow Valley Wildfire event?","answer":"In the Wildfire Event, the Longbow Valley (Layali Grove) map undergoes dynamic environmental changes mid-match. Around seven minutes in, fog drops visibility to just 30\u201340 meters, making detection operators and thermal scopes more useful. The church area is engulfed in flames, spawning three extra safes, while interiors fill with lava that deals significant damage to players who step inside. This adds risk-reward gameplay with high-tier loot in hazardous areas."},{"question":"How is Space City changing in Season 6?","answer":"The Space City Operation map gets an expansion with a new ground-level area linking the rocket launch pad and dormitories. The boss Deu Lands is being replaced, with leaks suggesting a tougher enemy suited to the expanded map. This change gives squads more tactical routes and challenges, preventing repetitive strategies that dominated previous seasons."},{"question":"What are the new Tide Prison missions?","answer":"Two new missions, Operation Warden and Operation Raven, introduce branching choices. Squads can ally with Warden Ghroth or prisoner Raven, eliminating the other. However, once one is defeated, the temporary ally betrays the squad, forcing another fight. Rewards differ depending on which boss is killed, making these missions high-value but high-risk objectives in Operation Mode."},{"question":"What new weapons are coming in Season 6?","answer":"Season 6 introduces the MK47 Assault Rifle and a Lever-Action Rifle. The MK47 is a 7.62\u00d739mm weapon with both automatic and burst-fire modes, offering high base damage and armor penetration. The Lever-Action Rifle uses .45-70 ammo, and with attachments it can reach 100 base damage or 59 armor penetration, making it capable of one-shot headshots in skilled hands."},{"question":"Which weapons were buffed in Season 6?","answer":"The M4A1 received higher damage and penetration, making it more reliable. The SKS saw a jump in both base and armor penetration damage, turning it into a lethal marksman rifle. The R93 sniper rifle in Warfare Mode had its damage boosted from 74 to 100, making it a dominant long-range option. The QJB201 LMG had control and handling improvements, reducing recoil and boosting viability as a squad support weapon."},{"question":"Which weapons were nerfed in Season 6?","answer":"The M250 LMG had its control stat reduced, lowering its accuracy and stability compared to Season 5. The QCQ171 SMG suffered a small damage reduction in Warfare Mode, slightly weakening its close-range dominance. These nerfs shift the meta away from relying exclusively on these previously top-tier picks."},{"question":"How was the SR25 reworked?","answer":"The SR25 was redesigned around its attachments. Its base range dropped from 90m to 60m, but barrels now define its role. With the Nova Ultra Long Barrel, it becomes a long-range marksman rifle (up to ~117m). With the Instant Short Barrel, it shifts into a faster-firing, close-quarters weapon. This modularity adds variety to the SR25\u2019s use cases."},{"question":"What is the suppressor overhaul in Season 6?","answer":"Suppressors were reworked to be more than just sound modifiers. They now reduce recoil, boost stability, and even increase weapon range. The Advanced Multicaliber Suppressor offers a 9% range increase plus horizontal recoil reduction. These changes make stealth builds stronger, especially in ranked Operation Mode, where surprise engagements matter."},{"question":"What system updates were added for Season 6?","answer":"Key changes include the Team Loot Protection System, ensuring players who get the kill\/assist have loot priority. Seasonal missions are now split into Action, Collector, and Destiny tracks, making progression more flexible. Hard Mode entry costs have been raised to 55,000 (Brakkesh) and 60,000 (Space City), and a server selection option is rolling out, a major improvement for console players."},{"question":"What are the entertainment modes in Warfare Month?","answer":"Warfare Month introduces rotating entertainment modes to keep combat fresh. Modes include Team Deathmatch (8v8), a knife-only melee mode, Ground &amp; Air Raid (with air combat in a King of the Hill style), and a Luna-only archery mode. These playlists let players experience new challenges outside of traditional Operation or Warfare matches."},{"question":"What\u2019s in the Season 6 Battle Pass?","answer":"The War Ablaze Battle Pass has Raptor unlocked at Tier 15 on the free track, new operator and weapon skins in mid-tiers, and the Knight\u2019s Honor Sineva skin as the ultimate Tier 80 reward. The pass also includes charms, crates, and other cosmetics. It\u2019s structured to reward both free and premium track players, with high-value content across all levels."},{"question":"What collaborations are included in Season 6?","answer":"<p data-start=\"8721\" data-end=\"8821\">Three collaborations headline this season:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li data-start=\"8824\" data-end=\"8914\"><strong data-start=\"8824\" data-end=\"8837\">Arknights<\/strong>: Hackclaw\u2019s ultimate skin runs Sept 26\u2013Nov 10, alongside themed cosmetics.<\/li>\r\n \t<li data-start=\"8917\" data-end=\"9046\"><strong data-start=\"8917\" data-end=\"8924\">Saw<\/strong>: On <strong data-start=\"8929\" data-end=\"8943\">October 23<\/strong>, players can unlock a free D-Wolf \u201cBilly\u201d operator skin and wield a legendary chainsaw melee weapon.<\/li>\r\n \t<li data-start=\"9049\" data-end=\"9173\"><strong data-start=\"9049\" data-end=\"9069\">Goose Goose Duck<\/strong>: A set of weapon charms returns, with the rare <strong data-start=\"9117\" data-end=\"9138\">D-Wolf Duck charm<\/strong> as the standout deluxe cosmetic.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"}],"wpwp_short_description":"This guide to Delta Force Season 6: War Ablaze covers everything arriving in the new season, including Raptor\u2019s full ability kit, the brand new Warfare map Fault, the Wildfire event in Longbow Valley, new weapons, balance updates, system changes, collaborations, and Battle Pass rewards.
