Polaris Patrol is scheduled to open in Delta Force on October 16, 2026 at 00:00 UTC and run until January 26, 2027 at 02:00 UTC. The Operations mini-mode will appear after the October 15 update, before it becomes playable.
Entry requirements depend on your chosen identity: Desmoulins requires an unlock and a badge for each entry, while Adjutants can enter without spending a badge but must accompany her.
The update arrives before the mode opens
In the October 15 announcement, the team scheduled the October 15 update without downtime or any announced impact on matches and matchmaking. Polaris Patrol appearing in the interface does not mean entry has opened: its playable window begins on October 16.
Polaris Patrol lets you play as Desmoulins or an Adjutant, with an appearance and abilities matching that identity. The announced map options are Space City on Normal and Hard and AZ3 on Normal.
How to unlock Desmoulins and pay for entry
The Desmoulins dossier becomes available at Operations level 33. You must then complete three of its five mission branches to unlock her identity. Reaching the required level opens the dossier; it does not unlock Desmoulins on its own.
Each entry as Desmoulins consumes a Security Director’s Work Badge. A badge costs 250,000 Tekniq Alloys at the Supply Station, so unlocking her identity still leaves a recurring entry cost in game currency.
Four purchases are initially available. A purchase opportunity returns every 21 hours, with a maximum of eight opportunities stored. This replenishment restores the option to buy a badge; it does not award a badge automatically.
Desmoulins can enter alone or with an Adjutant. Players who have unlocked her can therefore enter solo, while those accompanying her have different requirements.
Adjutants need Desmoulins in their squad
Heavy Guard and Comms Guard are unlocked by default and do not consume badges. Their squad must, however, include Desmoulins to enter.
Choosing an Adjutant avoids the badge cost for that player, but requires a teammate who has unlocked Desmoulins and can spend the badge needed for her entry. The default unlock alone is not enough to enter the mode.
G.T.I. opponents can earn Performance Points too
Performance in Operations and the Director’s To-Do and Adjutant’s To-Do missions award Performance Points. Progressing through the Performance Rank grants rewards.
Unlike Fiery Owl Hunt, Polaris Patrol also allows G.T.I. operators to earn Performance Points by defeating Desmoulins’ squad. Playing as Desmoulins or an Adjutant is therefore not the only way to earn these points.
Desmoulins reward crates may contain Petite Madame or Requin Model. These rewards are random, so receiving a crate does not guarantee either item.
To enter when the mode opens, Desmoulins players need both the identity unlock and an available badge; Adjutants need a place in her squad. If problems occur after the update, the team recommends restarting the game. An outdated client must be updated before connecting.
