Delta Force Season 12 has moved into its first public testing phase on the Chinese version, with beta registration now open to players. That test build is where the season’s additions get shown off before they reach the Global and Garena editions, and it points to a new operator, the return of a co-op mode, fresh Warfare content, and a batch of high-value loot. None of it is locked in yet, since the Chinese beta exists specifically to adjust and cut things before launch.
Quick answer: Season 12 is in beta on the Chinese client. Expected additions include a new female operator, the return of PvE Raid mode, new Warfare maps and a vehicle, and new red-tier loot — but everything can change before release.
Chinese beta registration is open
Sign-ups for the Season 12 beta are live on the Chinese version, and the test client is expected to go playable within a few days of registration opening. The beta is the earliest build players can touch, so it serves as the preview for what the season will carry. Everything below comes from that test build and should be treated as provisional until the season ships on each region.
Details shown in a Chinese beta regularly shift before the Global and Garena releases, so timings and inclusions can still move.
New female operator with flash and shield abilities
Season 12 adds a new female operator built around two tools: a flash ability for blinding or disorienting enemies, and a shield-based defensive skill for holding ground or pushing into fire. That pairing leans toward a support or breach role rather than pure offense, giving squads a way to open a space and then protect it. Her full kit and traits will firm up as the beta runs.
PvE Raid mode returns with three difficulties
PvE Raid mode comes back in Season 12, running across three difficulty tiers. Each tier scales the rewards against the challenge, so harder runs pay out more.
| Difficulty | Reward scaling |
|---|---|
| Normal | Baseline rewards |
| Hard | Increased rewards |
| Extreme | Highest rewards |
No new Operation map this season
Season 12 does not bring a brand-new Operation map. The Valkyrie map that players have been waiting on is instead expected around early 2027, likely tied to Season 13 rather than this cycle. Existing Operations maps continue in rotation for Season 12.
Zombie mode is still in development
The zombie mode that has circulated for a while remains in development. There is no release window attached to it and no new details beyond confirmation that work continues, so it is not part of the Season 12 package as things stand.
Garena and Global server merge speculation
A merge between the Garena and Global versions is being discussed, though it is unconfirmed. If it happens, the combined player pool would shorten matchmaking queues and could align loot drop rates on the Global edition with the Chinese build. That would mean higher-tier drops reaching more players, including rare pearls and specialized enemy drops that currently sit on the Garena and Chinese economies. Treat this as rumor until an official confirmation lands.
Warfare gets new maps, a vehicle, and red-tier loot
Warfare picks up several pieces in Season 12. The expected additions break down like this:
- A new Warfare map
- A new Detonation mode map
- A dedicated 1v1 map
- A new vehicle
- New red-tier loot items
Among the new red-tier loot is the Medical Ventilator, shown as high-value medical loot for future rotations. Items at this tier are the top payouts players chase on a raid, so new entries shift what is worth extracting with.
What is confirmed versus still rumored
The clearest fact right now is that the Chinese beta exists and registration is open. The operator, Raid mode return, Warfare maps, vehicle, and red-tier loot are all surfacing from that test build and are likely but not final. The Garena and Global merge is speculation, the zombie mode has no schedule, and the Valkyrie map is pointed at early 2027 rather than this season. Anything shown in the beta can be reworked or dropped before Season 12 reaches each region, so the beta period is the window where these details settle.
