Delta Force players have hit the jackpot with the massive Tomb Raider crossover event. The collaboration blends the high-octane action of Delta Force with the iconic world of Lara Croft, complete with themed cosmetics, new challenges, and plenty of free rewards. While the flashy Lara Croft operator skin for Luna requires Delta Tickets or a bundle purchase, the standout free item is the Legendary AKM skin called "New World Firepower" (with "Old World Craftsmanship" Tomb Raider flair). It dropped on May 1, 2026, as part of the Season Echo and Burst Fest updates, and it's completely earnable through gameplay with no purchase needed.

This limited-time event runs alongside login bonuses that hand out up to 2,600 free Delta Tickets, but the AKM skin stands out as a true F2P highlight. It's a Legendary-tier appearance with detailed Tomb Raider-inspired designs that make your AKM pop on the battlefield. Perfect for mid-range fights where the AKM already shines in the current meta, this skin is a must-grab for collectors and competitive players alike.

Step-by-Step Guide to Claiming the Free AKM Skin

Getting the skin is straightforward if you log in during the active event window. Here's exactly how to do it:

  1. Log into Delta Force during the Tomb Raider collab period (live now since May 1, 2026). The event is available across all platforms, including PC, consoles, and mobile, with full cross-progression.
  2. Navigate to the Tomb Raider event tab. From the main lobby or events menu, look for the dedicated Tomb Raider collaboration section at the top. It should appear prominently once the update is installed.
  3. Select the AKM panel. Inside the Tomb Raider tab, switch to the weapon appearances or AKM-specific section. You'll see a challenge tracker (often displayed as a numbered grid or progress board tied to the collab theme).
  4. Complete the event challenges. Rack up progress by hitting standard milestones like kills, assists, and objective captures in Warfare or Operations modes. Separate challenge lists exist for each mode, so stick to whichever you prefer. Daily and weekly tasks refresh to keep things manageable for casual players.
  5. Earn event currency or fill the progress grid. As you complete objectives, you'll accumulate tokens or unlock grid slots. No need to finish every single one. The system is designed so consistent play gets you there without extreme grinding.
  6. Redeem in the token shop or claim directly. Once you've hit the required milestones or gathered enough currency, head to the in-game token shop (or the event panel itself) and claim the "New World Firepower" AKM skin for free. It unlocks instantly for use on your AKM assault rifle.

The entire process rewards active play without forcing you into one specific mode. Many players report finishing it in just a few solid sessions of Warfare or Operations.
