Two of the biggest names in tactical shooters are joining forces. On 10 July, Delta Force is running a full crossover with Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and it is stacked: Siege operator skins, the legendary Black Ice weapon camos, and a little R6 drone you can actually fly. Best of all, because Delta Force is free-to-play, a big chunk of it costs you nothing but time. Here is everything in the collab and exactly how to grab the free stuff.
When it lands
The crossover goes live on 10 July 2026, folded into Delta Force’s Season 10, Meltdown. It runs as a limited-time event, with special missions to work through for the rewards, so this is a play-during-the-window situation rather than something you can pick up whenever.
The operator skins
The headline cosmetics are three Rainbow Six operator looks dropped onto Delta Force operators:
- Nox styled as Vigil, Siege’s stealthy shadow operator.
- The shielder Sineva as Montagne, R6’s iconic full-body-shield tank.
- The medic Stinger as Doc, Siege’s classic support.
They are smartly matched by role, which is a nice touch rather than a lazy reskin. If you have Siege history, seeing Montagne’s shield walking around a Delta Force objective is going to hit the nostalgia hard.
The Black Ice weapon camos
This is the one Siege veterans will care about most. The crossover brings the Black Ice weapon camo series into Delta Force, one of the most sought-after and recognisable skin sets in shooter history. A Black Ice skin for the MP5 is handed out just for logging in during the event, and a further bundle covering the SR25, K437 and M870 can be earned by playing through the event missions. Black Ice for free is a genuinely generous move.
The pilotable R6 drone
The best bit of fan service: a collaboration-themed drone collectible you can earn in matches, and when you inspect it, you can pilot it just like the reconnaissance drones from Rainbow Six Siege. It is a lovely, cheeky tribute to one of R6’s most iconic gadgets, and exactly the kind of detail that shows the collab was made by people who actually love both games.
How to get the free rewards
Here is the practical bit. Delta Force is free-to-play, so none of this needs your wallet. To maximise what you unlock for free:
- Log in during the event to claim the MP5 Black Ice skin, no effort required.
- Complete the special event missions to unlock two of the three operator skins for free, plus the additional Black Ice weapon bundle.
- Play matches to earn the pilotable drone collectible.
So even as a completely free player, you can walk away with a Black Ice gun, two operator skins and the drone. That is a strong haul for zero spend.
My take
Crossovers are usually just a store push, but this one is unusually player-friendly: real free rewards, thoughtful role-matched skins, and a genuine bit of fan service with the drone. It is not new gameplay, so if you are here for the extraction and tactics rather than cosmetics, it will not change your world. But for a free game to hand out Black Ice, one of the most coveted skin sets ever, just for showing up, is a very easy win. If you have Delta Force installed, log in on the 10th.

If you are new and wondering whether the game is worth your time at all, I covered that in is Delta Force worth it in 2026, and for how it stacks up against the hardcore mil-sim crowd, Gray Zone Warfare vs Delta Force is the comparison to read.
