Introduction
Delta Force: Hawk Ops Season 10 "Nuclear Fission" arrives on June 26, 2026, and it is the most ambitious seasonal update to date. This season introduces two radically different maps—the radiation-soaked AZ3 Nuclear Power Plant—alongside a game-changing new Engineer operator Gabriel (Liquid Nitrogen), two heavy-caliber weapons (SVTH & RM277), an all-new premium melee weapon (the Predator Nepal combat knife), and a suite of system-level quality-of-life improvements. Whether you're a solo rat, a coordinated squad, or a hideout crafter, this guide covers every confirmed piece of S10 intelligence to help you hit the ground running.

New Engineer Operator: Gabriel "Liquid Nitrogen"
Following official intelligence confirmed after June 10, 2026, the sole new operator for S10 is Gabriel "Liquid Nitrogen" Murrill, an Engineer with a complete cryogenic control kit. A former Havoc brain-machine experiment subject who escaped captivity and joined the G.T.I. European Division, Gabriel brings area denial, vehicle suppression, and hard crowd-control to the Engineer class—making him a premier pick for both Operations and Havoc Warfare.
Passive: Cryo Attachment
All basic attacks and cryogenic skills apply a stacking cold debuff. At max stacks, the target is frozen solid for up to 5 seconds—completely unable to move, shoot, or use equipment. In Havoc Warfare, hitting vehicles with cold debuffs severely degrades their handling and turret rotation speed.
Tactical Item: Dewar Canister
Stores up to 2 charges. Throws a canister that releases a wide-area cryogenic vapor cloud over a long duration. Cannot be destroyed by gunfire. Enemies inside take continuous frost damage, are heavily slowed, and cough loudly—instantly revealing their exact position. Ideal for sealing stairs, hallways, and extraction gates.
Tactical Ability: Thermal Tracking Shock Grenade
Throws a smart-tracking grenade that automatically homes in on nearby enemies. Deals true damage on impact and applies severe screen shake, turning sluggishness, and deafening ear-ringing. Critically, it outlines all cold-debuffed enemies in red through walls, creating a devastating wallhack combo when paired with the Dewar Canister.
Ultimate: Rapid-Fire Cryo Grenade Launcher
Equips a custom 6-round cryo grenade launcher. Grenades deal explosive damage (~20+ per round on test server) and create persistent frost pools on the ground. Holding the trigger activates rapid-fire acceleration, making it devastating for room-clearing, extraction-point defense, and multi-target engagements.
S10 Melee Weapon Preview: Predator Nepal Combat Knife
With the S10 "Nuclear Fission" season leaks becoming clearer, the previously rumored Triangular Bayonet skin has been phased out. The real star of S10 melee combat is a brand-new premium knife: the Predator, a post-modern Nepal-style combat knife. Featuring a striking black-blue sci-fi color scheme accented with silver cold-tone metallic elements, this blade is poised to become the new king of close-quarters combat.
Combat Stats & Attack Pattern
The Predator features a brutal 3-hit combo chain. While the overall swing speed isn't the fastest in its class, it compensates with superior range and devastating damage output. Each of the three strikes hits at extended reach, making it exceptionally forgiving in close-range duels compared to shorter blades from previous seasons.
| Attribute | EN |
| Attack Style | 3-Hit Combo |
| Attack Speed | Medium → Medium → Slow |
| Attack Range | Far → Far → Far |
| Attack Damage | 35 → 30 → 48 |
Bundle Contents & Price Prediction
The Predator knife will likely be sold as part of a weapon bundle. The accompanying firearms are the UZI Submachine Gun - Predator Edition and the S12K Shotgun - Predator Edition. Based on pricing patterns from previous seasons (S7 through S9), here is what players can expect：
| Purchase Method | Estimated Price | Notes |
| Standalone Knife | ~4,880 Triangular Coins | Epic-tier pricing, comparable to S9 "Falling Star" |
| Knife + Gun Bundle | ~5,200 Triangular Coins | Includes UZI + S12K skins; ~36% savings vs buying separately |
| Player-to-Player Gift | ~70% of store price | Community trading discount; actual price may vary |
Final appearance, stats, and pricing are subject to change upon the official S10 launch. The values above are based on historical trends and community leaks — always verify in the in-game store on June 26.
Pro Tip: If you primarily play close-quarters Operators like Red Wolf or Dragon, the Predator's extended reach and high third-hit damage make it a must-have. The 35 → 30 → 48 damage curve means the final swing can one-tap wounded enemies — perfect for cleaning up after a Dewar Canister freeze from Gabriel.
New S10 Weapons: SVTH & RM277
SVTH Designated Marksman Rifle
The SVTH is the direct superior replacement for the SVD. Chambered in 7.62×54R, it delivers massive single-shot damage capable of penetrating Tier-5 and Tier-6 helmets with ease. On the test server, its fire rate and stability dominated mid-range cover engagements. Exclusive mods: Specialized Bolt for cycling speed, Ergonomic Stock for recoil control, Extended Fast-Pull Magazine for sustained fire.
RM277 Assault Rifle ( 6.8×51mm)
The RM277 is a mid-to-long range laser sharing the 6.8×51mm ammo family with the M7. It inherits exceptionally high base damage and armor-shredding velocity, solving the damage fall-off problem that plagues 5.56 rifles beyond 50 meters. Exclusive mods: Recoil Cheek Pad for ~25% horizontal recoil reduction, Custom Muzzle Attachments for high bullet velocity. Best paired with a 2-4× tactical scope.
Weapon Comparison Table
| Weapon | Caliber | Optimal Range | Primary Role |
| SVTH DMR SVTH | 7.62×54R | Medium-Long | SVD upgrade — single-shot armor piercer SVD |
| RM277 AR RM277 | 6.8×51mm | Medium-Long | Zero-recoil mid-range laser (shares M7 ammo) |
New Map Environments: Extreme Hazards
AZ3 Nuclear Power Plant (AZ3 — Operations )
AZ3 is a dense industrial map structured across 13 zones, built around a central RBMK reactor complex. The entire map is blanketed in dynamic radiation—players must manage exposure using gas masks, anti-radiation injectors, or by visiting designated decontamination wash chambers. Mid-game, a benchmark mission activates: manually shut down the overheating reactor core to earn airdrop rewards; failure triggers a map-wide nuclear blast countdown that forces all survivors into a shrinking safe zone. Only two permanent extraction points exist—West Dock Speedboat and North Highway. The underground Stellarator Research Lab holds the boss "The Destroyer", a high-difficulty encounter with guaranteed gold-tier loot drops.
System-Level Optimizations
• Warehouse Secondary Password — Adds a second-layer password to prevent accidental dismantling and theft of high-value equipment.
• Death Replay System — Replay your death from the killer's perspective to review positioning mistakes and identify suspicious behavior.
• Permanent Mobile Shooting Range — Test weapon mods and practice recoil patterns anytime outside of matches, no queue required.
• Season Rank Reset — Full ladder reset with new S10-exclusive ranked rewards.
Final Verdict: Is S10 Worth Grinding?
Season 10 "Nuclear Fission" is one of the most content-dense updates Delta Force: Hawk Ops has ever received. Gabriel (Liquid Nitrogen) fills a glaring need for a control-oriented Engineer with a versatile, high-skill-ceiling kit. The SVTH and RM277 weapons signal a deliberate power shift toward heavy calibers, rewarding precision and positioning over spray volume. The Predator Nepal knife brings a premium close-quarters option with game-changing reach and damage. Whether you are here for the PvE boss hunts, the high-stakes extraction gameplay, or the large-scale Havoc Warfare, S10 has something substantial to offer. Prepare your loadouts, stock up on anti-radiation meds, and we'll see you in the reactor core on June 26.
