Delta Force Treasure Map Guide: All 60 Locations and Every Guaranteed Red
The Delta Force Fortune Run event is finally here, and in this complete guide, I show you all 60 Treasure Crate locations across Zero Dam, Layali Grove, AZ3 Nuclear Power Plant, Brakkesh, and Space City. I'll also explain how to obtain Treasure Maps, how the Fortune Run event works, the difference between regular and special Treasure Crate Number 8 locations, and how to solve the special clue maps to find the guaranteed red-tier rewards. You can also find limited-time collaboration collectibles from the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum, including the Red Vase, Ducktor Sui, and Winner Chicken Cup. If you're looking for the complete Delta Force Fortune Run guide, Treasure Map locations, Treasure Crate locations, red-tier loot, rewards, and everything you need to know about the Season 10 Treasure Hunt event.
You looted a Delta Force treasure map, carried it into a raid, and then spent nine minutes circling a building trying to work out which patch of dirt the drawing meant. Maps are finite, the event has an end date, and every wasted run is a red collectible you did not walk out with. This guide lists all 60 dig sites across the five Operations maps, both guaranteed-red spots, and where maps are dropping today rather than two weeks ago.
What a Delta Force Treasure Map Actually Is
A treasure map is an event item tied to Fortune Run, the treasure-hunting celebration running across Operations. It is not a general loot item and it does nothing outside the event window.
Each map is tied to one specific Operations location. A Zero Dam map only works on Zero Dam. Carrying a Layali Grove map into AZ3 gets you nothing.
The loop itself is short:
Acquire a treasure map from an event loot source or an event reward pack.
Carry it in before the raid starts. The map has to be in your backpack or your Safe Box when you deploy, not sitting in storage.
Travel to the marked location and interact with the dig site or cache.
Extract with what you pulled. Interacting is not the same as owning it, and dying on the way out hands your prize to whoever killed you.
Team Jade's official Fortune Run announcement frames the whole thing as tracking down Ahsarah's hidden treasures across the restricted zones, with the headline prize being top-tier red collectibles. Three of those reds are digitised versions of real Ming dynasty porcelain from a collaboration with the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Institute, and they appear in Operations as the Snowscarlet Vase, Ducktor Sui, and Winner Chicken Cup. Press coverage of the launch identifies the real pieces behind them as a duck-shaped incense burner, a copper-red cloud-dragon plum vase, and a chicken cup. Item names vary slightly between regional builds, so the in-game wording you see may differ.
Interacting with a dig site locks you in place, so clear the area before you start the animation.
The 12 vs 11 Confusion, Cleared Up
Almost every guide covering this event says there are 12 treasure points per map, then lists eleven of them. That looks like sloppy counting. It is not.
Each Operations map has eleven numbered treasure spots. Spot #8 is different: it exists as two separate maps pointing to two separate physical locations. Both are guaranteed reds, and which one you get depends on which version of the #8 map dropped for you.
Eleven numbers plus one duplicate gives twelve physical dig sites per map. Five maps gives sixty. That figure matches the total reported at launch, and it is why you can hold two different "#8" maps for the same location without either being a duplicate.
The practical takeaway: if you are collecting toward a full set, you need twelve maps per location, not eleven.
Where Treasure Maps Drop Right Now
This is the part most guides get wrong, because the acquisition sources changed partway through the event and older articles were never updated.
Field Supply Boxes are the main in-raid source from 14 August through 7 September, across all five Operations maps. Hitting the search milestone also pays out three Treasure Map Supply Selection Packs, so the boxes are worth a detour even on a run where nothing drops.
Travel Bags are no longer a source. They worked during the opening stretch of the event only. Any guide still telling you to farm travel bags is running on stale information.
The event shop added 20 Treasure Map Supply Selection Packs on 13 August and stocks them through 7 September. Completing active event missions earns tokens, and tokens buy packs. This is the most reliable source because it does not depend on container RNG.
The Treasure Map Giveaway hands out five Treasure Map Supply Selection Packs just for logging in, plus tokens for completing in-match container search missions. This one closes on 20 August, so claim it before anything else if you have not.
Ratty's Sitting Down ran from 14 to 18 August and gave map chances for matching Ratty's pose in Layali Grove, Zero Dam, and Brakkesh. It has closed.
Magic Containers had their treasure map chance increased on 13 August, which makes them worth opening on a normal loot route even when you are not hunting. Some community guides call these Mysterious Containers, but the official patch note uses Magic Container.
Login and mission rewards include selection packs, including a free pack for jumping into the event at all.
Selection packs are the ones to prioritise, because you pick the map rather than rolling for it. If you are two spots away from a full Brakkesh set, a pack closes the gap. A random container drop probably will not.
Spot #8 and the Guaranteed Red
Spots 1 through 7 and 9 through 11 give you a roll on a loot pool. Spot #8 guarantees a red-tier collectible. It is the only tier in the event with that guarantee, which makes it the single most valuable map in your inventory.
The catch is that #8 maps do not hand you a pin. They are hand-drawn clue images showing landmarks, terrain shapes, building outlines, and ground texture, and you have to match them against the environment yourself. A shovel icon marks the actual dig point once you have identified the area.
Three things make the matching faster:
Read the ground, not the buildings. Brick patterns, paving, gravel, and grass edges are drawn with more precision than the structures around them, and they narrow the spot down to a few metres.
Find the anchor landmark first. Most clue images include one unmistakable feature: a waterfall, a cactus, a wall symbol, a specific tree. Locate that, then orient off the drawing's implied camera angle.
Expect a dig, not a container. Several #8 sites are open ground rather than a lootable object, which is why players walk straight past them looking for a crate.
The official event descriptions back up several of these sites even though they publish no coordinates. Team Jade's announcement points Space City hunters toward the cactus and the dock, and sends Brakkesh players to clues hidden at the bathhouse and beneath the trees. Both match where community mapping puts those guaranteed reds.
One caveat on numbering. Community mapping consistently places the guaranteed reds at #8 on Zero Dam, AZ3, Layali Grove, and Brakkesh. For Space City, the most detailed community breakdown files the two variants under #7 instead, which contradicts every other source. Treat the two Space City locations below as correct and the number attached to them as uncertain.
All Treasure Map Locations by Map
Everything in this section comes from community mapping by players and content creators who ran the sites themselves. The developers have published the event, the participating maps, and the dates, but they have not published coordinates. These have held up well in practice, though a placement can always shift with a patch.

Building a Treasure Route
Knowing where the sites are is the easy half. Most players lose value by running them in numerical order, which sends them zig-zagging across a map with a red collectible in their bag.
Route by extraction proximity instead:
Dig your #8 first if you are holding one. It is the only guaranteed red you have. Everything after it is a bonus you can afford to lose, and everything before it is risk you took for nothing if you die en route.
Work inward, then bank outward. Push to the deepest site you intend to hit, then collect the shallower ones on your way back toward an extraction you have already confirmed is available.
Pair sites that share a building. Zero Dam's admin cluster and Brakkesh's Hammam and Babel Tower spots are close enough to chain without repositioning.
Cut the route when the map goes quiet. An empty map late in a raid usually means the remaining squads are sitting on extractions, not that you are alone.
Route by extraction proximity rather than spot number. Dig the guaranteed red first, bank the rest on the way out.
Surviving the Dig
The dig is the most dangerous few seconds of a treasure run, and almost nobody plans for it.
Interacting locks you in place with a progress timer. You cannot shoot, you cannot reposition, and the animation is loud enough to pull anyone in the area. In a PvPvE raid that is an invitation.
Split roles. One player digs, the rest hold the two most likely approach lanes. Solo, clear the building before you start rather than after.
Treat contested sites as optional. If you take fire near a dig point, leave. The map stays in your inventory, the site is static, and you can come back next raid. A dead operator loses both the map and the run.
Watch the guaranteed reds specifically. Other players know where the #8 sites are too. The Visitor Center at Zero Dam and the Hammam courtyard at Brakkesh both see traffic for exactly this reason.
Extract early with a red. There is no bonus for a full clear. A single guaranteed red that made it out beats four that did not.
If your raids keep ending at the dig rather than at the extraction, the problem is usually positioning and information rather than aim. That is the kind of thing worth working through with someone watching your VOD, and our coaching sessions are built around exactly those decision points. Our guide to Delta Force coaching covers what a session actually looks like.
Which Mode to Farm In
Mode choice affects both how many maps you find and what the loot pool gives you back.
Easy Mode is the safest place to learn the sites. Maps do drop here, and running the route without pressure is the fastest way to memorise twelve locations.
Normal Mode is the sensible default once you know where you are going. The reward pools are better, and extracted maps carry over, so nothing you found on Easy is wasted.
Confidential Operations is reported to have the highest treasure map drop rate of the three. No official source publishes drop rates by mode, and this comes from one community write-up rather than corroborated testing, so treat it as a lead worth checking rather than a settled number. Weigh it against the gear you are risking either way.
Whichever you pick, your kit matters less here than usual, since you are running a route rather than hunting fights. A cheap, mobile setup from our best loadouts breakdown does the job better than an expensive one you will not want to lose.
Fortune Run Event Calendar
Dates below follow the official announcements. Individual maps came online in waves rather than all at once.
8 August: Fortune Run launches. Hidden Cache Tracking, the Zero Dam mission, the Layali Grove treasure event, and the porcelain relics event all go live. Delta Ticket giveaway opens.
10 August: AZ3 Nuclear Plant and Brakkesh treasure events begin.
12 August: Space City treasure event begins.
13 August: Event shop adds 20 Treasure Map Supply Selection Packs and the Magic Container map chance goes up. Treasure Map Giveaway login packs open.
14 August: Fortune Field Supply Box event begins across all five maps. Ratty's Sitting Down runs to 18 August.
20 August: Treasure Map Giveaway closes.
28 August: Delta Ticket giveaway closes. This is the deadline to claim the 2,600 limited-time tickets.
4 September: Limited-Time Delta Tickets expire at 23:59:59 UTC. Claiming them is not enough, they have to be spent.
7 September: Fortune Run treasure events end across all five maps.
The official event post on playdeltaforce.com confirms the ticket structure: 1,000 guaranteed on day one, with the rest coming from daily missions and milestone progress. The mid-season balance notes that landed just before the event also moved a few picks, including the SCAR-H limb damage multiplier going from 0.4x to 0.5x and the SVCH reserve ammo in Warfare jumping from 60 to 180. Worth checking against our best weapons rundown.
If you are arriving late, the tickets are the harder deadline. Treasure sites stay open until September, but the ticket window closes first.
Key Takeaways
Each Operations map has eleven numbered treasure spots, with #8 existing in two variants, giving twelve sites per map and sixty across the game.
Only the #8 sites guarantee a red collectible, and they use hand-drawn visual clues rather than a marked pin.
The map has to be in your backpack or Safe Box before you deploy, and it only works on its matching Operations map.
Field Supply Boxes and event shop selection packs are the current sources. Travel Bags stopped working after the mid-event update.
Dig your guaranteed red first, then bank the cheaper sites on the way to extraction.
Digging locks you in place, so clear the area or bring overwatch before you interact.
Fortune Run treasure events run to 7 September. Tickets must be claimed by 28 August and spent by 4 September.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a treasure map in Delta Force?
Search Field Supply Boxes during raids, or earn Treasure Map Supply Selection Packs from the event shop by completing active event missions. Magic Containers also carry an increased chance since the 13 August update. Selection packs are more reliable than container RNG because you choose which map you receive.
Do treasure maps expire?
They are tied to the Fortune Run event window. Once the treasure events end on 7 September, unused maps have nothing to unlock. If you are holding maps, spend them before the deadline rather than stockpiling.
Can I carry more than one treasure map into a raid?
Community reports say yes, and players have been running several in a single deployment since the event opened. This is not spelled out in the official notes, so treat it as player-tested rather than confirmed. Either way, make sure they match the map you are queuing into, because a Brakkesh map does nothing on Space City.
What happens to my treasure map if I die?
Anything in your backpack is lost the way it normally is in Operations. Items held in your Safe Box are protected, which is why carrying maps in the Safe Box slot is the safer play when you have several.
Is treasure spot #8 really a guaranteed red?
That is how the event is structured according to community reporting across all five maps: spots 1 through 7 and 9 through 11 roll from a pool, while #8 always returns a red-tier collectible. Official announcements confirm red collectibles are the top prize but do not publish per-spot guarantees, so the guarantee itself is community-verified rather than officially stated.
Do treasure maps work in Easy Mode?
Yes, and Easy Mode is a reasonable place to learn the routes. Reward pools are better in Normal Mode, and maps you extract with carry over, so nothing you find on Easy goes to waste.
Why can't I interact with the treasure site?
Three usual causes: the matching map is not in your backpack or Safe Box, you are standing near the right landmark but not on the exact dig point, or the site is open ground rather than a container and you are looking for a crate that is not there. Move around slowly until the prompt appears.
Does every squad member need their own treasure map?
Each map unlocks one interaction. Teammates without their own map can escort and hold overwatch, but they will not be able to open the site themselves.
Do treasure maps work on mobile and console?
The event runs across Operations on all platforms carrying the update, including PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. Our console guide covers the platform-specific differences worth knowing.
When does the Fortune Run treasure event end?
Treasure events across Zero Dam, Layali Grove, AZ3 Nuclear Plant, Brakkesh, and Space City run until 7 September. The separate 2,600 limited-time Delta Ticket giveaway closes earlier, on 28 August, and the tickets themselves expire on 4 September.
What else is worth farming during the event?
Event participation feeds account progression as well as collectibles, so pairing treasure routes with mission completion is efficient. Our leveling guide covers the fastest progression paths, and the Season 10 Meltdown hub tracks everything else live this season.
The three Jingdezhen porcelain reds are the headline prize, and only the guaranteed sites reliably produce them.
