Delta Force Garena Polaris Patrol: Playing on Desmoulins’ Side

In Delta Force’s Space City, Desmoulins is no longer only an opponent waiting for players. Garena’s Polaris Patrol lets a squad join the Haavk security director’s side: one player can take her role, others can serve as adjutants, while G.T.I. operators still meet the squad in the operation.

Garena announced the mode on October 15, 2026, with an availability window of October 16 at 08:00 through January 27, 2027 at 10:00 (UTC+8). It is an ongoing mode, not a release from today. This article follows Garena’s notice; schedules and rules should not be assumed to match the Level Infinite global or mainland China editions. Garena’s mobile store listing also names Polaris Patrol. Check the relevant client for current platform and regional availability.

Three positions in one squad

According to Garena, Desmoulins can deploy and remotely control a combat vehicle carrying a machine gun and grenade launcher. Her Threat Imaging System scans and marks nearby threats for squadmates, and a seeker bomb searches for a target. The adjutants have different tools: Heavy Guard has a remote bomb and smoke grenade, while Comms Guard carries a flare and an airburst grenade.

The interesting detail is how those tools interact. Garena says some adjutant equipment can attach to the vehicle: the smoke grenade continues releasing smoke, while the flare periodically scans for opponents. The director pictured between her guards is more than a story figure here; the squad’s different responsibilities are part of the operation.

Different roles have different entry conditions

Playing Desmoulins first requires completing her File. It opens at Operations Level 33, with three of five mission branches needed for completion; reaching the level opens the File but does not immediately unlock the role. Each entry as Desmoulins also consumes a Security Director’s Work Badge.

Garena says badges cost 250,000 Tekniq Alloys at the Supply Station. Four purchase slots are initially available, and one more returns every 21 hours, up to eight stored slots. What returns is the opportunity to purchase, not a free badge. Both adjutants are unlocked by default and do not consume the director’s badge, but a Desmoulins must be in their squad to enter.

Both sides have something to play for

The announced maps are Space City on Normal and Hard and AZ3 on Normal. Desmoulins’ squad has an exclusive elevator and extraction point. Garena says G.T.I. operators who defeat her can pick up a special access card and use that route too. A squad’s advantage therefore also creates a route that its opponents can potentially turn around.

Operation performance and Director’s or Adjutant’s tasks award Performance Points; raising Performance Rank brings supplies and appearances. G.T.I. operators can earn points by defeating Squad Desmoulins as well. Reward crates have a chance to contain the red-quality Petite Madame or Requin Model collectibles; the notice does not state their exact odds.

For me, the appeal is seeing two perspectives on the same map. The director’s side coordinates information and equipment, while its opponents have their own counterplay and points to pursue. Not everyone can immediately play the director: the identity, badge and squad conditions give the choice a real shape before a match begins.
