Delta Force Operations Maps
Operations is Delta Force's extraction mode. You drop in with your own gear, loot, and leave through an extraction point before time or other squads stop you. Each map has difficulty tiers, and several have special extraction rules. This page sticks to what is confirmed by the patch notes or reported consistently by players.

Layali Grove 2.0 (Season 11)
- New areas: Serenity Bay, North Slope Caves and the Haavk Underground Dock. Boundaries are expanded and the river network reworked.
- New Flagship Task, Bounty: Wave Breaker: steal and escort an Assault Boat for Reis. The boat stays usable afterwards.
- Four Jet Skis in the river areas, plus two more while Wave Breaker is not active.
- New NPCs: Joe Reed, Zola Zar and Taj Faris.
- Transnova Station train extraction: the door opens 1 minute after the lever is pulled and extraction is available 3 minutes later.
- The Radar Station signal jamming zone is open.
Space City changes
- A random third Switch Point (Black Chamber or Buoyancy Lab) appears 15 minutes in. Pulling any two activates the Helicopter Extraction Point.
- The Test Range Switch Point moved.
- A new Central Garden one-way elevator adds another extraction route.
Tide Prison: escaping the cell
You begin without gear. The way out of the cell changes from run to run and can be a laser wall, a keycard vent, a breach-charge vent, a fingerprint scanner or a hacking minigame. Your gear is in a locker or crate just outside. Players also report an underwater extraction near the construction area and an emergency backpack-drop extraction that keeps your operator and Safe Box contents but loses the bag's loot.
How extraction works
- Standard extraction points are open to anyone who reaches them and holds the zone for the channel time.
- Conditional extractions need something extra, such as a switch or lever, a fee in Tekniq Alloys or a weight limit.
- Switch Points and Extraction Points can be marked inside signal jamming zones on all maps.
- Items outside your Safe Box are lost if you die, so decide what you can afford to bring.
