For the new content overview, new event details and gameplay adjustments, head on below for the patch notes.

Delta Force Ahsarah Update Content Overview via Patch 1.037.108

New Engineer Operator: Gizmo, New Warfare Map: Monument, New Operations Mini-Mode: Sinkpoint Dam, New Hot Zone Maps, New MK4 Submachine Gun, New Ammo, New Consumables, New Syringes, Season Mission System improvements, extensive gameplay optimizations and bug fixes.

New Operator

• New Engineer Operator: Rashid Rahal, Codename: Gizmo

Operator Role: Engineer
Operator Trait – Firewall: When positioned near one of his deployables, he receives a buff that improves weapon handling speed.
Tactical Gear – Crawler Nest: Deploys a mechanical nest containing three crawlers. The crawlers track enemies and explode on proximity, dealing damage and applying corrosion that increases the bullet damage enemies take. Corroded enemies will be marked in Smart Smoke.

Gadget – T.I.M (Tenacious Interception Module): Throws a self-propelled mechanical T.I.M that patrols in the designated direction.
