In this Delta Force Secret Locations guide, we’ll walk you through Red Loot locations and every secret location on the current Extraction maps: Brakkesh, Layali Grove, Zero Dam, and Space City. Each crate listed here contains unique rewards you can only unlock once per account — and most are tied to environmental clues, PvP map crossovers, or keycard chains.
Delta Force Secret Locations Key Takeaways:
- Secret Protocol Crates provide temporary bonuses such as gold quality items, stash enhancements, and unique weapon skins.
- The majority of Delta Force secret locations need codes, keycards, Morse messages, breach missions, or puzzle solutions.
- Zero Dam, Space City, Brakkesh, Layali Grove, Tide Prison, and Nuclear Power Plant all have secret loot paths.
- Red Loot is normally found inside locked rooms, ID card doors, and dangerous high-value locations.
- Nuclear Power Plant, which is alternatively referred to as AZ3, provides radiation zones, locked safes, key rooms, and Secret Protocol Crates.
- Some Delta Force secret locations in the Nuclear Power Plant lead to ARG puzzles, decryption terminals, and secret ending objectives.
- You should safely extract with the Secret Protocol Crates in order to gain the bonuses they provide.
4.9Delta Force Gold Items Locations
Gold Items are a rare find in Delta Force, and most importantly, you can collect them only once. To get Delta Force Gold Items, you need to solve different puzzles on relevant maps. These puzzles can be very unobvious and hard to solve, so we have prepared step-by-step instructions that outline what you need to do to get any desired Gold Item. Here’s a full list of Delta Force Gold Items available on the current Extraction maps:
- Gold Armor Vest (Zero Dam, Layali Grove)
- Gold Tactical Backpack (Zero Dam)
- Gold Helmet (Zero Dam, Layali Grove)
- Ammo Supply Crate (Layali Grove)
- Gold Armor Set (Space City)
Delta Force Gold Backpack
Delta Force Gold Backpack can be found at the Zero Dam location. To get the gold tactical backpack from Crate D2, head southeast between the Major Substation and the Visitor Center. There, you’ll find a small, boarded-up bunker entrance built into a hillside. Break the boards with your knife and step inside. An unmarked breach contract you can accept is hidden just beyond.
Once activated, the mission will guide you to a nearby objective — usually just northwest, at another bunker near the substation. Go there, plant the C4, and prepare to defend against waves of AI. After the timer finishes, the door explodes open. Inside, you’ll find Crate D2 waiting.
Secure the crate and extract to unlock the gold backpack, a one-time reward that expands your carry limit and gives you extra breathing room in raids.
Delta Force Space City Gold Armor
The third crate is tucked deep inside the Black Chamber, one of the most secure areas in Space City. Once you reach the locked door with a keypad, you’ll notice that this puzzle works a little differently: instead of hints or flags, the system gives you a set of four coordinates — and nothing else.
At first glance, it might seem confusing, but don’t panic. The fastest way to unlock the door is to listen closely to the beeping sounds coming from the panel. Just like the other crates, it uses Morse code to spell out the four digits you need. With some practice (or a cheat sheet), you can figure it out quickly.
Once you’ve cracked the code and entered it, the door will slide open, revealing Crate 3. Inside, you’ll get a full gold-tier armor set, making it one of the most valuable rewards in Space City.
If you want to safely extract Gold Items and keep all your rewards, use the Delta Force Ultimate Safe Box for guaranteed loot protection.
Delta Force Zero Dam Gold Armor Vest
To unlock the gold FS Composite Vest, head to the northern cliffs of Zero Dam. There’s a ledge puzzle waiting for you, built into a damaged scaffolding structure near the dam wall.
✏️ This area can be tricky to climb, especially under fire, so it helps to enable Auto Airborne Mantle in your settings. It makes all those small jumps and ledge grabs automatic.
Start by climbing the metal ladder and moving along the narrow concrete rims. Hug the wall and follow the broken platforms until you reach a yellow crate near the corner. Watch out — this spot is exposed to other players. Once you’re there, look for a dagger symbol pointing down on the wall. Drop carefully onto the ledge below, and you’ll see Crate D1 tucked just beneath.
Grab the crate, make it out alive, and you’ll unlock the gold-tier armor vest, one of the most protective pieces of gear available in Delta Force.
Delta Force Zero Dam Gold Helmet
To get the gold-tier helmet, you’ll need to complete a multi-step keycard chain that starts in the Construction Yard on the western side of the map. Look for a small building with solar panels on the roof and a keypad-locked door.
Find three numbers marked around the building — each number is linked to a dagger symbol with dots showing their order. One is on the west wall, another on the roof, and the third inside the front window.
📌 The code changes every raid, so you’ll have to check manually.
Once inside, grab the first keycard on the floor. Then head east, crawl through a concrete pipe, and smash the wooden boards to reach a second bunker. Use your keycard to open that door and claim the next key.
Next, move to the Major Substation. On the western side, go up the ramp to a red container with another locked door. Inside, you’ll find the final keycard. Now, head to a small bunker east of the Construction Zone — just above the unnamed compound. Use the last card to unlock the door and grab Crate D3.
✏️ While you’re in the final room, check the shelves. There’s a Layali Grove Keycard hidden in the back — you’ll need it to start a chain mission on that map.
Delta Force Layali Grove Gold Armor Vest
The Delta Force gold armor vest can be unlocked by solving the second secret puzzle on Layali Grove. Head to the Manor House on the western side of the map. Behind it, there’s a locked bunker door requiring a three-digit code. You’ll need to find three numbers nearby — each marked by dagger graffiti with dots that show the number order.
Check under the stairs inside the house, then move to the balcony and explore the awning area for the second digit. The third is hidden in a narrow corner near the back. If you don’t want to search, just listen — the keypad beeps the code in Morse.
Once you’ve entered the code correctly, the door opens, and inside you’ll find Crate L2 with the gold vest waiting for you.
Delta Force Layali Grove Gold Helmet
To get the first Secret Protocol Crate L1 on Layali Grove, move south of Minyar Village and find the underground bunker. You’ll need to unlock the door by finding three nearby numbers — look for dagger symbols with dots showing the correct order. If you’re quick, you can also listen to the keypad’s Morse beeps instead of searching manually.
After opening the door, accept the breach mission, plant C4 on the marked building, defend it against AI waves, and once the explosion clears, grab the hidden keycard inside.
Return to the second locked door next to the bunker entrance, use the keycard, and you’ll finally reach the crate with the Delta Force Gold Helmet reward.
Delta Force Red Loot Locations
Red Loot in Delta Force refers to top-tier items distinguished by their red rarity color. These items often include:
- High-end weapons with superior stats.
- Advanced armor sets.
- Rare crafting materials.
- Valuable trade goods.
Acquiring Red Loot can be challenging due to its limited spawn locations and the high competition from other players. Additionally, Red Loot is a rare random drop, so sometimes you’ll have to revisit the same place several times to get an item.
✏️ Most common places for Red Items to spawn are locked doors which require access via ID Cards.
If you want to master Red Loot farming and learn the fastest routes, consider using Delta Force Coaching. A top-tier player will guide you through spawn points, loot patterns, and smart extraction tactics.
Delta Force Nuclear Power Plant Secret Locations
Nuclear Power Plant (AZ3) is considered one of the most dangerous secret locations on the maps in Delta Force. It came with Season 10 Meltdown and immediately proved itself as one of the hot spots for those players who solve various puzzles.
Currently, the Nuclear Power Plant contains 10 Secret Protocol Crates scattered all over the map. Some are connected with important rooms, some with terminals, locked safes, or puzzle chains. Moreover, there are several ARG-like secrets connected with decryption terminals, a 36-digit code door, and an air wall maze.
✏️ Before farming Delta Force Nuclear Power Plant secret locations, bring anti-radiation supplies, meds, and a close-range weapon.
Here is a list of Delta Force Nuclear Power Plant secret location rewards and loot types you should look for:
- Delta Force M700 Secret Skin
- Delta Force DAR Secret Rig
- Delta Force DIC1 Secret Helmet
- Delta Force ASH-12 Secret Skin
- Delta Force R93 Secret Skin
- Delta Force Secret Coliseum Code Crate
- Delta Force M4 Secret Skin
- Delta Force Deagle Secret Skin
- Delta Force Gold Heavy Assault Secret Vest
- Delta Force Vector Secret Skin
Delta Force M700 Secret Skin
In order to acquire the Delta Force M700 secret skin, one should go up the Sarcophagus at the Nuclear Power Plant. There, you will find the Secret Protocol Crate located within a small room with a keypad, next to the upper structure.
One can get there via the east upper entrance using the pipe parkour sequence. If you are coming from the west side, you should make use of the zipline from the paid exit to get there quickly. Also, you need to look at the room through its window, observe the number on the display on the wall, then enter it in the keypad.
Delta Force DAR Secret Rig
To obtain the Delta Force DAR Secret Rig, you need to access it from the eastern upper entrance via the pipe parkour path. Head towards the vicinity of the Post-Processing Plant, and you will find numerous ziplines that lead to the radioactive pit.
Make your way down and continue navigating the lower tunnels. One of the deeper pits, the northern one, contains the Secret Protocol Crate lying on the ground. This location harms your health due to radiation, and therefore, you have to be prepared with medpacks and refrain from looting.
Delta Force DIC1 Secret Helmet
To unlock the Delta Force DIC1 secret helmet, go to the Transport Warehouse near the dock area. This Secret Protocol Crate requires an Engineer, since you need to cut through wire mesh.
Inside the warehouse, find the staircase leading down into the wide lower section. Look for the cuttable mesh, open it as an Engineer, and follow the path around the corner. The crate is tucked behind that route and rewards you with the gold DIC1 helmet.
Delta Force ASH-12 Secret Skin
The Delta Force ASH-12 secret skin is one of the riskier Nuclear Power Plant rewards. Its Secret Protocol Crate is hidden inside a large underwater cave in the main ocean area.
Navigate to the cave with red lighting and enter it. Then you should climb upwards to the top of the cave. The problem here is that the water contains radioactive elements, drowning becomes dangerous, and there are sharks around. As soon as the player starts receiving radioactive fractures, the sharks will become aggressive towards him. If you play naked, place the crate in the Safe Box.
Delta Force R93 Secret Skin
To acquire the Delta Force R93 skin, it’s necessary to complete the Nuclear Power Plant flagship mission. This Secret Protocol Crate won’t be placed in some ordinary room, so there’s no sense in wasting your time looking for SPC5 in any unlocked area.
The nuclear engineer will lead you up to the tower during the mission, but right before throwing you from it, he will give you some time to pick up the crate. Take SPC5 and extract from there.
Delta Force Secret Coliseum Code Crate
This Nuclear Power Plant Secret Protocol Crate uses a code from the Coliseum map. The crate itself is opened on Nuclear Power Plant, but the clue comes from objective points on Coliseum.
Keep in mind that the code changes every day, so the previous codes might not work anymore. The code should be taken from the objective points inside Coliseum, noted down, and inserted in the crate’s keypad in Nuclear Power Plant.
Delta Force M4 Secret Skin
The Delta Force M4 secret skin is tied to Secret Protocol Crate number 10, but this one works differently from the rest. There is no fixed puzzle room or keypad route for it.
To get SPC10, you need to defeat the new H1000 boss on the Nuclear Power Plant. The crate drops as a rare reward, so you may need several runs before it appears. If you get lucky, the drop gives you a Blue Rarity M4 weapon skin.
Delta Force Deagle Secret Skin
To obtain the Delta Force Deagle Secret Skin, go to the eastern part of the Nuclear Power Plant near the Seawater Treatment. The Secret Protocol Crate is underground and accessible via the tunnels surrounding the Seawater Treatment.
Three players are required for the puzzle. Two players should each control different levers to freeze the changing digits above their heads, while the third player will input the code on the nearby keypad.
Use the numbers in alternating order:
- first digit from the right-side display;
- first digit from the other display;
- second digit from the right-side display;
- second digit from the other display;
- third digit from the right-side display;
- third digit from the other display.
For example, if the right display shows 525 and the other one shows 650, the code becomes 562550. Enter the final sequence while both levers are still held, and the door opens to the Deagle skin crate.
Delta Force Gold Heavy Assault Secret Vest
Delta Force Gold Heavy Assault Secret Vest can be located close to Seawater Treatment, on the eastern side of the facility road. This vest is located in a truck that lies outside the treatment plant with a locked panel.
You would require an Operator equipped with an electric utility to unlock the panel. In case of an Operator, the characters which you can use are Luna, who can fire Volt Arrow, Hackclaw, who can throw a Data Knife, and Tempest, who can fire Drill Charge.
Delta Force Vector Secret Skin
Delta Force Vector Secret Skin is located in the southwest of the Nuclear Power Plant, near the Post-Processing Plant on its east side. It is found in the tiny, unmarked building at a little distance from the main road that leads to the plant.
This challenge can only be completed by two people. One person will pull the lever and hold the numbers frozen in the window of the door. Another one should enter those numbers on the keypad. If the code is accepted, the door will open, and you will get to the Secret Protocol Crate with the skin.
Delta Force Space City Secret Locations
Space City is one of the most complex maps in Delta Force, with multi-level buildings, underground labs, and tech puzzles scattered across the facility. It rewards players who pay attention to detail, solve Morse-code locks, and aren’t afraid to dig through PvP maps for answers.
This map contains at least three Secret Protocol Crates, each hidden behind keypad puzzles, breach missions, or codes tied to Warfare mode. Several crates require coordination across maps — for example, you’ll need to gather flag data from the Shafted map or decode coordinate sequences in the Black Chamber. Here is a list of items that you can find in Space City map:
- Gold Armor
- SG552 Skin
- SKS Skin
Before dropping in, be sure to prep: some crates start with breach contracts, others need you to crack codes using Morse beeps, and all of them offer exclusive loot — from gold-tier armor to Delta Force weapon skins.
Crack the toughest puzzles in Space City Raid and loot rare crates hidden across multi-level labs and command posts. With pro players on your team, you’ll survive intense PvP, complete secret missions, and secure gold-tier rewards.
Delta Force Space City SG552 Skin
The first Secret Protocol Crate in Space City is located in the Dormitory Building on the west side of the map. If you spawn nearby, it’s a quick route — otherwise, expect a bit of fighting through tight hallways. Look for a keypad-locked door on the lower floor.
You’ll need a three-digit code to open it. The fastest way is to listen to the Morse code beeps coming from the door panel — each pattern translates to a number. But if you’d rather search, the digits are scattered in three nearby spots:
- One is inside the same building as the keypad.
- The second is outside the building where you plant C4 for the breach.
- The third is in a building across from that second location.
Each number is marked by a dagger symbol, with dots underneath showing the order, just like on other maps. After unlocking the keypad, accept the breach mission inside.
Head to the marked building, plant C4, and defend it for a short time. Once the blast clears, go inside and collect Crate 1, which contains the Delta Force SG552 skin.
Delta Force Space City SKS Skin
To unlock the SKS weapon skin, head to the Assembly Room on the eastern side of Space City. Inside, you’ll find a locked door on the first floor with a keypad that asks for a four-digit code. Above it, four objective markers are displayed — but this puzzle doesn’t get solved on this map.
Instead, load into Warfare mode and play on the Shafted map. You’ll need to locate four specific checkpoints (flags), each with a number hidden nearby — often written in stylized Morse code or shaped digits. If you’re defending, it’s faster since you can explore freely. If you’re attacking, you’ll need to push through objectives.
Once you’ve collected all four numbers, return to Space City, enter the code at the keypad, and unlock the door. Inside, you’ll find Crate 2, which rewards you with the Delta Force SKS skin — exclusive and available only once.
Delta Force Secret Locations in Zero Dam
On this map, you’ll find the exact locations of all Secret Protocol Crates (D1–D6), as well as locked bunkers and puzzle doors that require codes, keycards, or even visits to other game modes. Zero Dam is packed with underground vaults, sealed labs, and high-security rooms. Here’s a complete list of the Delta Force Zero Dam secret locations’ loot:
- Gold Armor Vest
- Gold Helmet
- K416 Skin
- P90 Skin
- M16 Skin
Before heading in, make sure to prepare: some doors require keycards you can buy from the Loadout menu or loot mid-match. Others involve multi-step puzzles with clues hidden in the environment — look for dagger symbols, Morse code patterns, or flag codes from Warfare maps. Many of these areas also include breach missions or AI defense sequences.
Inside each Secret Protocol Crate, you’ll find rare cosmetic rewards like exclusive weapon skins or gold-tier gear that you can only earn once.
📌 Each Protocol Crate can only be opened once per account. The reward is a one-time exclusive — you won’t be able to farm it again.
Explore Zero Dam’s Raid puzzle-heavy tunnels, locked bunkers, and hidden vaults to grab raid-exclusive high-tier loot. Our pro player will help you solve secret codes, complete breach missions, and fill your stash with elite gear.
Delta Force Zero Dam K416 Skin
To unlock the K416 weapon skin, head back to the northern construction zone, this time focusing on the northwest side. You’ll find a keypad-locked bunker requiring a four-digit code. The first three digits are hidden across nearby tunnels and corners — the fourth you’ll need to brute-force.
Start by checking the wall next to the keypad itself — that’s your first digit, usually written in Morse code or shaped like the number. Then, go into the tunnels behind the construction site and search the farthest chamber. There you will find another number on the wall. The third digit is deeper in the Barracks tunnel, marked above one of the spawn zones.
Once you’ve collected three digits (e.g., 4-2-9), return to the keypad and cycle through the last digit manually. It won’t take long. When the code is correct, the door unlocks, revealing Crate D4 and your one-time K416 skin reward.
Delta Force Zero Dam P90 Skin
To get the P90 skin, return to the Major Substation bunker you previously visited for D2. This time, don’t head through the blown-up door. Instead, crawl under the race gantry near the red light — you’ll reach a hidden door with a four-digit keypad.
Above the keypad, you can find strange letters in a cipher-style font. They translate to “Crack” and hint that the solution is on the “Cracked” Warfare map in open PvP. The keypad also references checkpoints: A1, B1, B2, and C2.
To solve it, go into Warfare (Drill Mode), load Cracked, and check those flag zones. Look for numbers written on crates, walls, or structures near each flag. They’re shown in stylized Morse or shaped like the actual digits.
Once you have all four numbers, return to Zero Dam, enter the code, and unlock Crate D5. Inside, you’ll get the P90 skin — a clean cosmetic you can only earn once.
Delta Force Zero Dam M16 Skin
This is the easiest crate to find on Zero Dam — no puzzles, no keycards. Just head into the underground tunnel system on the northwest edge of the map. You’ve likely passed this spot before without noticing it.
Enter the tunnels and walk toward the center chamber, near one of the common spawn points. In the back corner of the room, next to some rocks, you’ll see Crate D6 just sitting on the ground.
No traps, no guards — just grab it and extract safely. Inside, you’ll unlock the M16 skin, your final one-time reward for this map.
Delta Force Brakkesh Secret Locations
The Brakkesh map in Delta Force: Hawk Ops hides three exclusive Secret Protocol Crates, each requiring a puzzle or code to unlock. These crates reward you with some of the best weapon skins in Delta Force, including cosmetics for the:
- 93R
- M4A1
- SCAR-H
Fight through Brakkesh’s Raid brutal PvP alleys and unlock secret POIs packed with high-end loot and raid-restricted gear. A pro player will guide you through sniper zones, hidden crates, and exfil points to make sure you extract safely.
Delta Force Brakkesh 93R Pistol Skin
To get the 93R pistol skin, head toward the Blue River Hotel on the west side of Brakkesh. Look for a small locked room with a keypad near the hotel entrance. This is your first target.
The door requires a three-digit code, and all the clues are nearby. Search for dagger graffiti with small dots underneath — the number of dots tells you the order. For example, one dot = the first number. You’ll find all three symbols spread around the immediate area. If you’d rather skip the hunt, you can also listen to the beeping Morse code on the keypad and decode it directly.
Once the door opens, grab the Secret Protocol Crate, and you’ll receive the 93R skin — sleek and only unlockable once.
Delta Force Brakkesh M4A1 Skin
The second crate is located near Azure Town, up on a rooftop with a locked door that requires a four-digit code. When you reach the keypad, it’ll display four coordinates — but instead of solving this on Brakkesh, you’ll need to visit the Shafted map in Warfare mode.
Load into Attack and Defense on Shafted, and search near the control points. Each flag zone (like A1, B2, C3, etc.) has a number written nearby, either in Morse-style markings or shaped like actual digits. Codes change daily, so make sure to gather them fresh before returning.
Once you have the full code, go back to Brakkesh, enter it, and open the door. Inside, you’ll find Crate 2, which unlocks the Delta Force M4A1 red skin — a clean, one-time-only reward for solving the puzzle.
Delta Force Brakkesh SCAR-H Skin
The last crate on Brakkesh is hidden near the Guard Mom building, in a bunker that’s locked behind a four-digit keypad. This one requires intel from another map, specifically, the Threshold map in Warfare mode.
To get the code, load it into Threshold (preferably in Drill Mode vs. bots) and head to the control points labeled A1, B1, C1, and C2. Each flag area has a number written nearby — usually on crates, walls, or rooftop edges. Like other crossover crates, the code resets every 24 hours, so don’t rely on old data.
Once you’ve got the full sequence, return to Brakkesh, head to the locked door, and enter the code. Inside, you’ll find Crate 3, which unlocks the exclusive SCAR-H skin — a stylish and rare cosmetic, only available once per account.
Delta Force Layali Grove Secret Locations
On this map, you can see the exact locations of all locked doors that require ID Cards, as well as every Secret Protocol Crate hidden throughout Layali Grove. All Delta Force Layali Grove secret locations’ loot includes:
- Gold Armor Vest
- Gold Helmet
- Ammo Crate
- SCAR-H Skin
- MP5 Weapon Skin
- M249 LMG Skin
✏️ You can buy ID Cards before the mission from the Loadout menu to unlock specific doors.
If you’re lucky, you might also find ID Cards during the raid — use them on the spot or extract them for later use. Behind these locked doors, you’ll often find Red Loot — some of the most valuable rewards in the entire game.
As for the Protocol Crates, each one is protected by a puzzle or code panel, usually located nearby. Solve the puzzle to unlock the crate and claim your reward. Inside, you’ll find exclusive weapon skins or high-tier loot that won’t drop again.
📌 Each Protocol Crate can only be unlocked once per account. The rewards inside — whether it’s a rare weapon skin or premium-tier loot — are one-time exclusives you won’t get again.
Hunt down Safe Boxes and hidden bunkers across Layali Grove’s Raid dense terrain while collecting rare skins and upgrade loot. A pro will keep you covered against snipers and traps, helping you freely move, complete quests, and extract.
Delta Force Ammo Crate Secret Location
You can find the Delta Force Ammo Supply Crate, a permanent stash upgrade, behind Crate L3 on Layali Grove. To start this multi-step puzzle, travel to Gurab Desolation on the east side of the map. You’ll find a door that requires a special keycard — this one only drops after completing the D3 puzzle on Zero Dam. Make sure you extract it and bring it back to Layali.
Use the keycard to unlock the first door. Inside, grab the next keycard from the table. Then head to the bunker near the center of the map, south of the train station. Open the second door, grab the final keycard, and travel to the Desert Trails Farm in the southwest. There, in the middle of the field, use your last keycard to unlock the final bunker. Inside, you’ll find Crate L3 — giving you the Ammo Crate you can equip in your stash for future raids.
Delta Force SCAR-H Skin Secret Location
If you want to get the Delta Force SCAR-H skin, look inside the Crate L4. It is hidden near the paid extraction point in the south of Layali Grove. Look for a bunker with a four-digit code panel and strange letters above it. These letters point you toward four locations across the map where each number is hidden:
- the Cave
- Gurab Desolation
- the Minefield
- the Wharf Tower
At each spot, look for dagger symbols or Morse code scratched onto walls and objects. Use a cheat sheet or visual clues — many numbers are shaped like the digits they represent. Once you collect all four numbers, return to the keypad and enter the code. Behind the door, you’ll find Crate L4 with the exclusive SCAR-H skin.
Delta Force Secret MP5 Weapon Skin
To unlock the Delta Force MP5 skin, you’ll need to open Crate L5, located in a bunker near the southeast extraction zone on Layali Grove. Unlike other crates, this one doesn’t involve clues on the same map. Instead, you’ll have to hop into Warfare mode and play on the Ascension map.
Once you’re there, head straight to the flag zones marked A1, B2, C2, and D. At each location, look carefully — the required numbers are written on nearby walls, containers, or objects. For example, A1’s number is painted on a green shipping crate near the beach. The others are similarly marked near flag points. These codes rotate roughly every 24 hours, so either grab the current set during your run or check recent community posts for updates.
After collecting all four digits, return to Layali Grove, make your way back to the bunker, and enter the code. If you’ve done it right, the door opens immediately, and Crate L5 inside rewards you with the MP5 skin — sleek, clean, and only obtainable once.
Delta Force M249 LMG Secret Skin
If you’re after the Delta Force M249 LMG skin, head west of Desert Trails Farm — that’s where you’ll find Crate L6, sitting right in the middle of a minefield. No puzzles this time. No codes. Just pure risk.
To reach the crate, take your time and approach from the southern edge of the minefield. Stick close to the wall and move slowly — one wrong step, and you’ll hit a mine. In full health, you might survive, but it’s safer to follow the same path in and out.
Once you reach the center, grab Crate L6 and extract yourself however you can. The M249 skin inside is a one-time unlock. Just don’t blow up on the way out.
Delta Force Tide Prison Secret Locations
Tide Prison in Delta Force has four different secret locations, some of which are locked behind puzzles. The map features four exclusive Secret Protocol Crates that reward one-time cosmetic items. Finding and evacuating with at least one secret crate is also required for the Golden Egg Nest Easter Egg, making Tide Prison important for completionists. Here we have prepared a list of Delta Force Tide Prison secret loot:
- CAR-15 Assault Rifle Skin
- M870 Shotgun Skin
- PKM Machine Gun Skin
- SV-98 Sniper Rifle
If you are aiming to complete the Golden Egg Nest Easter Egg, you only need to extract one Secret Protocol Crate from Tide Prison. After collecting the required crates from the other Operations maps, place them inside the hidden cave behind the waterfall in Layali Grove to unlock the final secret area.
Delta Force CAR-15 Secret Skin
To obtain the Delta Force CAR-15 secret skin, head to the southeast coast of the map, outside the prison complex, where you’ll find a partially submerged shipwreck near a large drainage pipe.
Dive underwater and enter the wreck to find the Secret Protocol Crate T1 hidden inside. On PC and consoles, the crate is located within the shipwreck, while on mobile, it rests directly on the seabed in the same area.
After securing the crate, place it in your Safe Box and head north along the coastline to reach the Backpackless Extraction. Successfully extracting unlocks the exclusive Delta Force CAR-15 weapon skin.
Delta Force M870 Secret Skin
To unlock the Delta Force M870 secret skin, travel to the Central Administration Building near the extraction lever. Inside, you’ll find a locked keypad door protecting Secret Protocol Crate T2.
The keypad displays the Warfare objectives B, D1, D2, and E1, indicating that the code must be collected on the Cyclone Warfare map. Visit each of these objectives in Attack and Defend mode and find the nearby Morse code markings, which reveal the four digits. Since the code changes every day, you’ll need to gather a fresh combination before returning.
Enter the code at the keypad to open the bunker and collect Secret Protocol Crate T2, rewarding you with the exclusive Delta Force M870 skin.
Delta Force PKM Secret Skin
The Delta Force PKM secret skin is hidden beneath the Warden’s Office inside the mannequin storage area. Here you’ll find a locked Relink door that requires a three-digit code generated using the Neurolink Device.
Activate the device from the nearby mannequin to reveal hidden symbols throughout the area. You have two minutes to locate three projection symbols and line them up correctly to reveal the required numbers before the effect expires.
Return to the keypad, enter the completed code, and unlock Secret Protocol Crate T3. Inside, you’ll receive the exclusive Delta Force PKM weapon skin, along with several additional loot containers.
Delta Force SV-98 Secret Skin
The Delta Force SV-98 secret skin is located high inside the Core Elevator Shaft on the southwest side of the prison. Make your way through the upper platforms until you reach another Relink puzzle door.
Use the nearby Neurolink Device to reveal hidden symbols at the locations marked on the keypad. As with the previous puzzle, you have two minutes to locate the three projections, align them correctly, and determine the three-digit code.
Once you’ve entered the correct combination, the door opens to reveal Secret Protocol Crate T4, rewarding you with the exclusive Delta Force SV-98 weapon skin.
4.9In this Delta Force Secret Locations guide, we walked you through Red Loot spots and every secret location across the current Extraction maps: Brakkesh, Layali Grove, Zero Dam, and Space City. Each crate we covered held a unique, one-time reward — from gold-tier gear to exclusive weapon skins — and most of them were locked behind environmental clues, PvP map connections, or multi-step keycard chains.
