Delta Force: your limited-time Delta Tickets expire on September 3 — and the Fine Porcelain draw opens the day before with 10 pieces

Team Jade rolled out an update on Thursday, August 27, 2026 to Delta Force without any service interruption. It adds neither map nor operator: it opens nine events and a lucky draw, all tied to the same deadline — the switch to the 2nd anniversary season "Reorientation," on September 8.

One line, slipped in at the end of the section, nonetheless determines everything else:

"Time-limited Delta Tickets will expire on September 3 at 11:59 PM (UTC+0). Operators, be sure to use them before they expire!"

That is, for a French player, the night of September 3 to 4, at 1:59 AM. Six days, and nothing will replace them.

Where to spend your Delta Tickets before the cutoff

The update precisely opens, on August 28, the only major spending opportunity on the calendar: the Fine Porcelain skin lucky draw. It can be accessed via [Store] → [Preferred Choice] → [Fine Porcelain], and runs until September 26.

Its rules, as written:

• The first draw costs only 10 Delta Coins or Delta Tickets;
• it is a draw without replacement: no duplicates within a round;
• once all the rewards of a round have been obtained, the next round unlocks automatically;
• by winning the jackpot of a round, you receive a randomly drawn skin from the series, plus all other rewards from that round that you had not yet obtained.

The contents of the prize pool, in the order presented by the publisher:

An inconsistency worth noting in the official French text: the event is called "Fine Porcelain" in its title and in its access path, but the jackpot clause refers to "one of the skins from the Refined Porcelain series." It is the same prize; it's the wording that hasn't been harmonized.

The full schedule, from August 28 to September 10

The two weapons required by "Expert's Choice"

The event requires completing missions with designated weapons, and there are only two: the SG552 and the M82. An assault rifle and a heavy sniper rifle — in other words, two opposite playstyles. If you don't play either one, plan to dedicate a session to it rather than hoping to knock it out on the fly.

"Pre-registration for the skin": four logins, not one fewer

This is the easiest event to miss, because it isn't cumulative: each tier requires a login within its own specific window.

Two isolated dates — September 1 and September 7 — cannot be made up later. A player who only logs in every other weekend will lose half the reward without having done anything wrong.

Ratty, and the emote you need in your wheel

The "Ratty Makes Hearts Race" event relies on a single mechanic, and it's easy to miss without preparation:

"Ratty has been spotted striking the Heart Hands pose in Layali Grove, at Zero Dam, and in Brakkesh. Perform the Heart Hands action to interact with Ratty and get a Treasure Map!"

So you need to have the "Heart Hands" action assigned before heading out on a raid: finding Ratty is pointless if the emote isn't in your wheel. Only three maps are involved.

The order of priorities, in a list

1. Before September 3 at 23:59 UTC — use up the time-limited Delta Tickets. The Fine Porcelain draw, open since August 28, accepts them from 10 units for the first draw.
2. This weekend (August 29-30) — play your first three ranked matches during the Merit Boost: this is the shortest window on the calendar.
3. From September 4 to 7 — focus your ranked matches on the "Final Stretch", which doubles points right before the season switch.
4. Log in on September 1st and September 7, two unique dates for the skin pre-registration.
