Delta Force Season 11: End Date, Rover and Every Change
Last updated September 19, 2026. Latest patch: September 17.
Delta Force Season 11 has been live for over a week, and a lot of what ranks for it still describes a Rover kit that never shipped and skips both patches since launch. That costs more than usual this time. Season 11 is a short season, so a week spent on bad information is over a tenth of it gone. We rebuilt this guide from the official notes: what changed, how Rover works in each mode, and every deadline.
Delta Force Season 11 at a glance
Delta Force Season 11, the "Reorientation" season, launched on September 8, 2026 across PC, mobile, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It is the game's 2nd anniversary season, and its Season Pass runs until November 9.
Launch: September 8, 02:00 UTC (10:00 UTC+8 on Garena servers)
Official name: Season 11 "Reorientation," the 2nd anniversary season
New operator: Rover, a Support operator, with his military dog Clover
Maps: The Mog (new Warfare map), Layali Grove 2.0 (Operations rework)
New activities: Fishing, Free Battlefield custom rooms
Arriving later: Polaris Patrol on October 16, Operations 1v1 after the mid-season update
New weapons: MDR Assault Rifle, Thompson SMG
Season Pass: September 8 to November 9
Latest patch: September 17 operator and The Mog balance
Season 11 and Season Reorientation are both correct names. The official S11 version patch notes call it Season 11 Reorientation. Our pre-launch version called it unnumbered, and the launch notes proved that wrong.
Our Garena version explainer covers how the two clients differ, and our Delta Force console guide covers PS5 and Xbox.
How long Season 11 lasts
Season 11 is officially a short season, and the patch notes say so. The Season Pass, anniversary celebration and Warfare Season Challenge all end on November 9, according to the September 8 launch update.
Meltdown's end-of-season events wrapped September 7 and Season 11 went live the next day. Its own events end November 9, so expect Season 12 on or around November 10. That is our projection, not an announced date.
War Ablaze: Sept 23 to Nov 18, 56 days
Ahsarah: Nov 18 to Feb 3, 77 days
Morphosis: Feb 3 to Apr 21, 77 days
Echo: Apr 21 to Jun 30, 70 days
Meltdown: Jun 30 to Sept 8, 70 days
Reorientation (S11): Sept 8 to Nov 9, 62-63 days
To fit the shorter window, the season mission line was trimmed:
Phase Two needs fewer stars and fewer combat missions, and side missions unlock earlier
The Tide Prison mission is gone from Phase Three
Ultimate Safe Box Season Access needs one Collector submission, the Deluxe appearance five
That leaves about nine weeks. Our Season Meltdown breakdown has last season's structure for comparison.
Season 11 runs about 62 to 63 days, the shortest season since War Ablaze.
Rover and Clover: what the kit does in each mode
Rover (Rowan Walsh) is a free Support operator on the Season Pass track. His skill trial missions pay Tactical Armament Vouchers and a name card until October 8.
The kit changes between modes, and this is where most coverage goes wrong:
Man's Best Friend, both modes: a whistle calls in Clover, who hunts the nearest enemy in range, tackles them and applies a Mark. With no targets, Clover follows you on Alert
Dart Rifle in Operations: syringe mist heals allies' injured limbs, lowers enemy max HP and deals damage over time
Dart Rifle in Warfare: mist lowers enemy max HP and deals damage over time. Since September 17 it also heals allies in the mist for 7 HP a second over 8 seconds, interrupted if they take damage
Irritant, both modes: smoke grenade that makes enemies inside cough
Guard Drive, Operations passive: gadget-hit enemies are easier for Clover to track. Longer downed time, and rescues clear multiple limb-injury stacks
Prey Drive, Warfare passive: gadget-hit enemies are easier for Clover to track. Rescues resupply the ally's ammo
The passive split follows the global S11 version update announcement. Garena's version of the notes lists both passives under Operations, so go by the global wording.
Early write-ups built on test footage listed abilities like "Vapor Steam Gun" and "Frostbite." None shipped, so any guide still using them predates the patch notes.
The September 17 patch buffed him in both modes. Clover's cooldown dropped to 90 seconds in Operations and 75 in Warfare, Clover's Warfare damage rose to 55, and the Warfare Dart Rifle now hits for 90 direct with area damage up to 13.
In Operations, Rover is a recovery Support. A dart into a firefight patches your team's limbs while shrinking enemy health, and Guard Drive clears limb injuries on a rescue.
In Warfare he launched as an information and pressure pick, not a healer. September 17 changed that: the mist now heals allies standing in it, but any hit interrupts the heal, so treat it as a between-fights top-up. Dart the corner a defender holds before your squad pushes, throw Irritant into a room and listen for coughing, and treat Clover's marks as free callouts. Prey Drive makes his revives refill ammo.
The September 10 patch fixed players getting stuck after a Clover attack. We will add Rover to our best loadouts guide soon.
Clover hunts and marks the nearest enemy in range in both Operations and Warfare.
Layali Grove 2.0 and fishing
What changed on Layali Grove
Layali Grove 2.0 adds Serenity Bay, North Slope Caves and the Haavk Underground Dock, among other areas. Boundaries grew, the rivers now connect and insertion points were redesigned, so recheck your opening routes.
Four Jet Skis run across the rivers, with two extra when the Bounty: Wave Breaker Flagship Task is not active. That task has you steal an Assault Boat from the Underground Dock for Reis and extract it.
Other Operations changes worth knowing:
The Transnova Station train door opens 1 minute after you pull the lever, and extraction is available 3 minutes later instead of 5
Space City adds a random third Switch Point in the Black Chamber or Buoyancy Lab 15 minutes into a match, and pulling any two of the three opens helicopter extraction
New NPCs Joe Reed, Zola Zar and Taj Faris bring side stories
Hudson's Surge Squad lost its lock-on through walls and now has openings when reloading or turning
AZ3 - Normal is now permanently available, which matters if you run the map in our AZ3 map guide
Four Jet Skis run across Layali Grove's rivers, with two more when Bounty: Wave Breaker is not active.
How to unlock fishing
Fishing unlocks at Operations Level 17. Load into Layali Grove on Easy, find Joe Reed and complete his fishing mission to get your first rod. After that you can fish on the Easy versions of Zero Dam, Layali Grove and AZ3.
Two rod types catch different fish. With the Float rod, reel in once the float fully sinks. With the Lure rod, watch the line tension colour, reel against the fish's pull and ease off when it turns red, since too much tension snaps the line.
Catches raise your Fishing Level, and Joe Reed's certification checks unlock better gear. Your rod sits in the EDC Tool Kit, so a failed extraction does not cost it. It is still a live raid, so pick water you can see around.
The Mog and the Warfare changes
The Mog is the new Warfare map, set in the streets of modern Mogadishu with push-cart objectives and UH-60 Black Hawk air support. Its Attack and Defend layout has been reworked twice since launch. September 10 made these changes:
C2 is now a Secondary Objective and Sector C's boundary moved
The convoy takes less damage from anti-vehicle mines, Guided Missiles and Artillery Barrages, and moves slightly faster
The Escort the Convoy timer now starts at 4:30 and adds 45 seconds at each checkpoint
The September 17 update went further:
Objective A's capture area and the attacker Deployment Base areas above Sector A and in Sector C were all expanded
Last Stand now triggers at zero whenever attackers around the convoy outnumber defenders, whatever state the convoy is in
Military Radio interactions are faster, but signal recovery takes 90 seconds, and the UH-60's MG hits harder
The September 10 patch gave The Mog's convoy phase a 4:30 starting timer plus 45 seconds per checkpoint.
Victory Unite now unlocks permanently at Colonel, lets you volunteer as Commander from the lobby, and routes most vehicle deployments through Commander approval. Free Battlefield adds custom rooms under the same rules.
The Amphibious LSV arrives in Assault, Mortar and Rocket Launcher variants, replacing some spawns on Cyclone, Fault and Ascension. Drag Rescue is live for every Warfare operator, bound to H. For guns that suit tight urban lanes, see our best PvP weapons breakdown.
New weapons and the balance changes that touch your loadout
Two guns joined the Arsenal: the MDR Assault Rifle on 7.62x51mm and the Thompson SMG on .45. Both were missing from the Warfare Armory at launch, which the September 10 patch fixed.
The balance changes that should change what you bring:
Sniper rifles in Operations now spread when you aim while moving, though stationary shots stay accurate. Bolt-actions also recover faster after a shot
The K437 Lancer Long Barrel Combo now adds +50% range and muzzle velocity in Operations (up from +30%) and +25% in Warfare (up from +15%)
Vlinder, Toxik and Stinger gadgets got buffs, Hackclaw's Signal Decoder cooldown dropped to 90 seconds in Operations, and Toxik's Blinding Gas now takes 1.5 seconds to blind in Warfare
Nox was nerfed September 17: Whirlwind Disc damage over time halved to 5 per second, and its Flashbang fuse went from 0.4 to 0.6 seconds
N-Two's Cryo-Flask zone can now be cleared by explosions and refills from Ammo Crates instead of recharging, and M250 recoil went up on mobile
New ammo includes permanent .45 ACP Super at Level 5 penetration, and the 4.6x30mm CT round cannot be stored in a Safe Box. Limited-time Haavk conversion kits also arrived, including M700 kits for burst or full-auto fire. Our best weapons tier list and complete weapon list show how the new guns compare.
Polaris Patrol: what to prep before October 16
Polaris Patrol opens October 16 and lets you play the boss. You enter as Security Director Desmoulins, or as an Adjutant, on Space City (Normal or Hard) or AZ3 Normal. G.T.I. players earn Performance Points for taking the Desmoulins squad down.
The entry cost is the part to plan for:
The Desmoulins identity unlocks through the Desmoulins File, which opens at Operations Level 33 and requires 3 of its 5 mission branches
Entering as Desmoulins spends one Security Director's Work Badge, bought at the Supply Station for 250,000 Tekniq Alloys
You can buy 4 badges at first, which is 1,000,000 Tekniq Alloys, then one purchase slot restores every 21 hours, up to 8 stored
Adjutants need no badge, but a Desmoulins has to be in the squad
The prep: hit Level 33 now and start banking Tekniq Alloys. Our Delta Force leveling guide covers the fastest route.
Rewards include the M700 Serenity appearance and a craftable HVK Whirlwind Enhanced Gas Block at the Hunter stage, capped at 10 a week.
Season 11 deadline calendar
Most Season 11 events end well before the season does. Here is everything still ahead with a date on it:
September 20: Find Vlindflower collectible drop ends
September 26: anniversary celebrations with 3,900 limited-time Delta Tickets begin
September 30: Airdrops Incoming event ends
October 1: last day to activate 7-Day Login Rewards (claims close October 8)
October 8: Layali Grove 2.0, Rover, new weapon and The Mog launch events end
October 10: Wyvern Appearance Lucky Draw ends
October 15: Rally clan event ends
October 16: Polaris Patrol opens
After the mid-season update: Operations 1v1 arrives, no date yet
November 9: Season Pass, 2nd Anniversary Celebration, Warfare Season Challenge and Tekniq Alloy Store end
The September 26 date comes from the launch press release carried by GamingTrend. Last season's limited-time tickets expired days before the season ended, so spend these early and exchange Weekend Select tokens as you go.
Nine weeks is not much room to finish a mission line, farm alloy for Polaris Patrol and push rank. If you want a plan that fits your hours, that is what our Delta Force coaching sessions are for.
Rover, map and new weapon events end October 8, a month before the Season Pass.
What reset when Season 11 started
The flip reset Season 10 mission progress, any Ultimate Safe Box Season Access from previous seasons, and every Safe Box Trial Card. Nothing else is named, so your stash, gear, Tekniq Alloys and levels stay put.

FAQ
When did Delta Force Season 11 start?
Delta Force Season 11 started on September 8, 2026 at 02:00 UTC, the same day on PC, mobile, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
When does Delta Force Season 11 end?
The Season Pass and most season events end on November 9. No official end date for the season itself has been published, but Season 11 started the day after Meltdown's end-of-season events wrapped, which points to around November 10.
Is Season 11 the same as Season Reorientation?
Yes. The official patch notes use both, calling it the S11 version and Season Reorientation. Searching either name will find the notes.
Is Rover free in Delta Force?
Yes. Rover is a free unlock on the Season 11 Season Pass track, and his trial missions reward Tactical Armament Vouchers until October 8.
Does Rover heal in Warfare?
Yes, since the September 17 patch. The mist heals allies inside it for 7 HP a second over 8 seconds, and any damage they take interrupts it. Limb healing is still Operations only.
How do you unlock fishing in Delta Force?
Reach Operations Level 17, then find Joe Reed on Layali Grove Easy and complete his fishing mission. You can then fish on the Easy versions of Zero Dam, Layali Grove and AZ3.
When does Polaris Patrol start?
Polaris Patrol opens on October 16. Playing as Desmoulins requires completing the Desmoulins File, which unlocks at Operations Level 33, plus a Work Badge that costs 250,000 Tekniq Alloys per entry.
Why can't I see the MDR or Thompson in the Armory?
At launch, the Warfare Armory did not display the new season's weapons. The September 10 patch fixed the display, and September 17 fixed weapons not unlocking after Warfare Armory missions, so update your client.
Did Season 11 wipe my stash?
No. The reset cleared Season 10 mission progress, older Ultimate Safe Box Season Access and Safe Box Trial Cards. Your stash, gear and Tekniq Alloys are untouched.
When is the 1v1 mode coming?
Operations 1v1 arrives after the mid-season update, which has no published date yet. Last season's mid-season update landed July 30, about a month after launch. Gear is not consumed, so it is a free way to test builds.
