Season 10 is landing with a lot more bite than most players expected, and if you've been stocking up on Delta Force Items, this is probably the moment to pay attention. The new AZ3 map, set inside a nuclear power plant, changes the pace straight away. It is not just another place to run and gun. It asks you to think a bit, move carefully, and keep an eye on what the environment is doing around you.

AZ3 Changes How You Move

AZ3 comes in both Easy Mode and Normal Mode, so there is room for different kinds of players. Easy Mode lets you learn the layout without putting your loadout on the line, which is handy if you just want to get a feel for the place. Normal Mode is where things get tense. Radiation is spread across the map in four levels, and each zone hits harder than the last. Once exposure starts stacking up, movement slows, health drops, and limb damage becomes a real problem. That means every route matters, and rushing in blind is a bad idea.

Loot Rooms And The H1000 Threat

The map also adds radiation-proof loot rooms, which should pull a lot of squads into the same areas. Players can find AZ3 passkeys during raids, and the red passkey opens the best rooms. There is a clear reward loop here, but it does not feel free. The new H1000 boss makes sure of that. Once enemy activity is noticed, it starts hunting players across the facility, which can turn a quiet run into a scramble in seconds. In matches where gear matters, some players will almost certainly try to buy Delta Force Items before jumping in, just to keep their odds from slipping.

Shutdown Pressure And Fast Extractions

Emergency Shutdown might be the most memorable part of the update. After the objective is done, the facility begins to collapse and everyone still inside has to move fast. There is no time to wander. If your squad is not on the way out before the timer runs down, radiation will finish the job for you. It creates that sharp, awkward kind of tension players talk about later, the sort of moment where one bad call can wreck an entire run. It is also the kind of system that makes teamwork matter in a way casual players will notice pretty quickly.

Skins, Modes, And What Comes Next

Season 10 is not only about survival. The Rainbow Six Siege crossover brings operator skins for Knox, Sineva, and Stinger, with two of them available through missions at no cost. Black Ice bundles are arriving too, and one bundle can be earned without opening your wallet. On top of that, Warfare is getting Thunder Strike, Crazy Box, and Ace Hunt, the last of which is an 8v8 jet-only mode built for pure air fights. The Battle Pass adds the Tempest skin, new charms, a melee weapon, and more MandelBrick rewards, so there is plenty to keep people busy once the update goes live.
