2026-06-16
Delta Force new map AZ3 Power Plant gameplay has been leaked, revealing a massive new map, radiation mechanics, a new boss.Grab the rest of the Delta Force S10 leaks right here.
Inspired by Chernobyl, Delta Force Nuclear new map features three zones, four-level radiation stacking, free AZ3 keys, and 7 interactive loot spots. A new decryption safe mechanic and a red-tier exclusive item add depth to Operations mode.
Delta Force new map AZ3 New Mechanics
Delta Force new map AZ3 Nuclear Power Plant was recently leaked. The current planned difficulties are Normal and Confidential, and the map is split into three zones: left wing, right wing, and the core area.
Overall, Delta Force new map AZ3 is huge and loaded with loot. If you are doing knife runs, you can stay out of the core and still come out full. Paid extraction costs 40,000, the same as the benchmark mission reward. There are also other side objectives on the map.
There is also a new interaction UI. On top of that, the map has 7 hidden Easter-egg spots, and you need to perform specific interactions before you can loot them. The drop rates are currently very high, and the whole map is basically built around Chernobyl, with a very faithful recreation.
Radiation Mechanics
Delta Force new map AZ3's radiation system has four levels: character coughing, stacking white noise, and visual static/grain in your view (these effects keep stacking while you stay in irradiated zones).
New radiation rooms have been added: the mechanic is similar to the timed toxin spray in the current hard-currency area, but this one stacks radiation instead.
Radiation cleansing: go to specific spots on the map to decontaminate and lower your radiation level.
There are irradiated containers across the map, and looting them increases your radiation. Radiation also rises if you linger in certain areas. You can go to a decon room or use related units (spray troopers, spray trucks).
On top of that, players who respawn on the outer edge can also pick up free AZ3 keys, basically free room keycards. And those free keycard rooms can even chain into more AZ3 keys.
Besides the free AZ3 keys, the map also has radiation leak zones, which are another free high-tier loot area.
The benchmark mission is still the usual rescue-and-data-copy flow, and the rewards are solid, so it is worth looking forward to.
Also, all current Nuclear Plant Easter eggs have audio cues. For example, AZ3 keys make a beep-beep-beep sound, radiation containers make a clacking sound, and radiation leak zones make a hissing sound. Characters with high radiation will also keep coughing (similar to Hudson), so you can track them by cough audio too.
Delta Force new map AZ3 New Safe Mechanic
There are 7 locked safes on the map. You need to decrypt them at white control consoles before you can loot the safes, similar to the prison flow where you break the gate first, then take the safe!
Delta Force new map AZ3 New Boss
The new Nuclear Power Plant boss, H1000, looks straight out of The Matrix—bald, suited, sunglasses, with a neural port on his temple. He roams the reactor core alone, no backup, and his custom pistol delivers fast, accurate suppression. His AI is aggressive: he closes distance with dive tackles, uses smoke and cover smartly, and passively radiates damage, making him a genuine threat rather than a bullet sponge.
To beat him, bring rad protection and hit his glowing chest weak point from range. Use pillars and catwalks to break line of sight. Optionally trigger the emergency scram beforehand to soften him. The payoff is huge: guaranteed gold-tier loot, AZ3 keycards, and a shot at the map-exclusive red-tier item. High risk, high reward—exactly what endgame PvP should feel like.
Other new content
Not many new season collectible leaks so far. The only red-tier item we know about right now is this big red — looks like a map-exclusive piece, probably tied to the new boss or the core zone safes. Honestly, kinda surprising there's barely anything else floating around. Usually by this point in the leak cycle, we'd have at least a couple more reds or golds surface. Hoping more drops get datamined before the season drops — otherwise stash flexing is gonna be pretty quiet this patch.
A new Red-tier item appears to be map-exclusive.
In addition, new facilities have been added to Operations.
Conclusion
The Nuclear Power Plant leak shows Delta Force pushing map complexity further with radiation risk-reward systems and layered loot paths. Free entry points and audio-cued secrets lower the barrier for budget runs, while the new boss and safes reward full-kit squads.

With Normal and Confidential confirmed and Top Secret likely next season, this map is shaping up to be the most dynamic addition yet. Prepare your keys and gear — the reactor zone is coming.
