The event can look confusing at first, especially because progression happens through an external-looking investigation interface rather than a normal mission menu. Here is how the main systems work and how to make sure you collect the available rewards.
How the Delta Force Inside Haavk Event Works
Inside Haavk is built around two important event resources: Decoding Points and Attention Points.
You can earn these points through normal gameplay, including playing Warfare and Operations, while daily login activity can also contribute. The event's forum is another important part of progression because posting and interacting with available discussions can help generate additional event progress.
The official description explains that players must access Haavk's internal forum, investigate employee posts and confidential files, solve clues outside matches, and then enter Operations to find traces connected to the investigation.
That means you should not treat the event as something you complete entirely inside the normal game client. Check the event interface regularly and look for new posts, files and interactive elements.
How to Hack Images and Posts With Hackclaw
Once you open the Inside Haavk event page, look for the Hackclaw icon near the bottom-left corner.
Selecting Hackclaw activates the scanning feature. After the page has been scanned, clickable images and other potentially useful elements can become available.
Check the character and boss images carefully. When an item can be hacked, the interface shows the available target together with the Decoding Point cost.
This is one of the easiest parts of the event to miss. Do not simply read the main story and leave the page. Click through the available images and investigate anything Hackclaw highlights.
The same principle applies to forum posts and replies. Open the relevant discussion, activate Hackclaw's scan, and check whether additional content can be hacked with your available resources.
The event is designed around this loop: scan → discover → hack → gain information → unlock more investigation progress.
Don't Miss the Free Gifts on the Forum
There is another small interaction that can easily be overlooked.
Look for the gift icon on the forum page. This section can provide additional rewards, including useful gameplay supplies and other items.
Because Inside Haavk contains several different interfaces, it is worth checking the page after every major progression step. New interactions can appear after you advance the investigation.
This also explains why simply completing a few normal matches is not enough to maximize your rewards. The event combines normal Delta Force gameplay with its investigation interface.
How to Get More Decoding and Attention Points
Playing matches is one of the straightforward ways to generate event progress. Warfare and Operations both contribute, while daily activity can also provide points.
However, the forum itself can become an important source of progression.
Watch for opportunities to create posts, reply to discussions and interact with available employee content. The more the event allows you to investigate, the more useful it becomes to check the forum instead of waiting passively for more points.
Community reports from the event's first days also show that some players initially struggled to understand why certain clue interactions were not progressing. Other players pointed out that checking the employee forum after submitting a clue could be necessary for the next part of the investigation to appear.
So when a clue appears to stop progressing, return to the forum and look for a newly updated discussion rather than assuming the event is broken.
How the Inside Haavk Rewards Work
The biggest attraction is the event's limited-time reward pool.
The event is connected to Delta Force's second-anniversary celebration, and the official description says Inside Haavk can unlock limited anniversary rewards and Operations supplies.
The event's reward interface can also provide valuable equipment through its exchange system. The video walkthrough highlights Gold Armor, a Gold Helmet and a Gold Backpack among the free rewards available through event progression.
One particularly useful detail from the walkthrough is the event's Tekniq Alloy exchange. The video shows an exchange where a single Tekniq Alloy can be used for high-tier gear under the event's solution/reward interface.
Because event exchange requirements can be easy to overlook, check the solution page before spending resources elsewhere.
Inside Haavk and the Operations Gameplay Loop
Inside Haavk is not completely separated from Delta Force's extraction gameplay.
The official event description specifically says that after solving clues through out-of-match posts, players head into Operations to find traces connected to the lives of Ahsarah's defenders.
This makes Operations an important part of completing the broader investigation. Keep an eye out for event-related interactions when you enter the map rather than treating every raid as a standard loot run.
The wider anniversary update also includes On Haavk, another Hackclaw-focused event that takes place in Operations and asks players to follow observations and complete specific interactions. Both events are active from September 24 through October 15.
The Best Way to Complete Inside Haavk
The easiest way to approach the event is to avoid rushing through the story.
First, open the event page and activate Hackclaw's scanner. Check every highlighted image and interactive object.
Next, inspect the employee forum, including posts and replies. Look for hackable content and claim any available gift rewards.
After that, play Warfare and Operations to build your available event resources, then return to the investigation page when new interactions become available.
Finally, check the solution and exchange sections before spending your Delta Force Tekniq Alloy or other event resources.
Inside Haavk is currently one of the more unusual parts of Delta Force's anniversary content because it mixes a browser-style investigation with the game's normal Operations loop. The official event runs until October 15, 2026, so there is a limited window to uncover the available clues and claim its anniversary rewards.
