Delta Force Black Hawk Down: 7 Missions Guide

Black Hawk Down is Delta Force’s single-player and co-op campaign: seven missions delivered as a free download of roughly 28GB, with progression that stays completely separate from the multiplayer modes. Nothing you unlock in Operations or Warfare carries over, and multiplayer operators, loadouts, and vehicles cannot be brought in. The campaign hands you its own framing and expects you to work inside it.

This page is the map. Each mission gets its own deep dive in this series, but start here to understand the shape of the whole run.

The seven missions in order

#	Mission	What it asks of you	Pressure
1	Irene	Daytime insertion; learn movement and spacing	Low
2	The Fuse	Move wounded teammates to safety under time pressure	Moderate
3	Black Hawk Down	Respond to a crash and hold the site	Moderate
4	Lost Convoy	Escort a convoy through hostile ground	High
5	Valor	Protect a sniper element from overwatch	Moderate
6	N.S.D.Q.	Night extraction built on light and noise discipline	High
7	Mogadishu Mile	A long street advance ending at the stadium	Highest

The curve is deliberate. The first three missions teach the systems — movement, squad handling, defense. Mission 4 is the first wall most squads hit and is widely regarded as the second hardest chapter. Missions 5 and 6 then change the rules rather than simply raising them: protection work, then stealth. Mission 7 tests everything at once and is the community’s consensus hardest mission in the campaign.

How long the campaign takes

Official estimates put a full Normal run at 4-6 hours and a Hard run at 6-8 hours. Those numbers cover the whole campaign, not a single mission. Per-mission timings vary with squad composition and difficulty, so treat any split as a benchmark for your own runs rather than a target to hit — the useful comparison is your second attempt against your first.

Hard is not a small step up from Normal. It tightens margins on every engagement, so the sane order is: clear Normal first, then treat Hard as a second run with tighter play rather than the starting difficulty.

Solo or co-op

The developers recommend a four-player squad. Solo is supported and completable, but expect it to be very hard by design — the campaign is tuned around a team, and revives, overlapping fields of fire, and split responsibilities all get easier with four players. A full co-op squad is the intended experience; solo is the challenge run, and the later missions punish isolation hard.

What does not carry in

• Multiplayer progression: separate
• Operator loadouts and unlocks: separate
• Vehicles from Warfare or Operations: not usable in the campaign

The isolation is a design choice — the campaign is balanced around its own equipment — but it means a maxed multiplayer account starts here at zero like everyone else. Playing on a phone changes the control problem rather than the content; the mobile campaign page covers that angle.

Before you install

The campaign is a free download of roughly 28GB on top of the base client. Confirm your machine clears the official hardware floor before committing disk space, especially on mobile where sustained load matters more than peak frames. For the two hardest missions — the convoy mission and the final street advance — plan extra time and bring the full squad.
