How to get into the Delta Force: Hawk Ops Alpha Test

Looking to get into Delta Force: Hawk Ops, the possibly next big thing in military FPS? An alpha test is coming up, giving you a chance to kick the tires and assist the dev team in quashing bugs. There are a couple of ways to get into the upcoming alpha, and these are they.

Request playtest access through Steam

The most straightforward way to get into the Alpha is to request access to the alpha playtest through Steam. It’s easy, and it only takes a moment.

Simply visit the Steam store page for Delta Force: Hawk Ops. Scroll down past the media scroller, and beneath “Coming Soon,” there is a window that says “Join the Delta Force Playtest.” Click the button that says “Request Access.”

However, there’s no guarantee this will get you in. While it’s likely that the developer will include some players through this method, the clear way they want you to access the Alpha is through keys given out during upcoming Twitch streams.

How to access the Delta Force: Hawk Ops Alpha through Twitch keys

It’s less straightforward, but the main way to get into the Delta Force: Hawk Ops alpha is by grabbing a key given out during Twitch streams.

The Twitch streams will be happening August 6, with future opportunities on August 10 and August 17. Some of them will drop Steam Keys, the other will drop “non-Steam” keys for the Level Infinite launcher. Here are the times, as per the news post:

Twitch Drops issuing Steam keys:

• Round 1 – Aug 6th 3:00 (UTC+0)
• Round 2 – Aug 6th 17:00 (UTC+0)

Twitch Drops issuing Level Infinite launcher keys:

• Round 3 – Aug 10th 14:00 (UTC+0)
• Round 4 – Aug 17th 23:00 (UTC+0)

In order to get a key, you need to view 60 minutes of Twitch streams from participating streamers. You will also need to have a Level Infinite account, which you may want to set up before attempting this. You can sign up for an account at the Level Infinite site.

After you’ve viewed the required 60 minutes, you’ll get a notification from the Twitch Message center that will ask you to link your Level Infinite account with your Twitch account. Do so, and you’ll be able to claim a key. That is, if you are opting for a Steam Key, you will be given one. If you’re planning on using the Level Infinite launcher, you’ll simply be given access.

If you got a Steam key, open Steam and click “Add a Game” in the lower-left of the window. Select “Activate a Product on Steam.” Input the key, and you’ll be given access.

If you miss out on the Twitch drop timeframes, don’t fret. You can still try out the Steam method, and it’s likely that more opportunities to try out Delta Force: Hawk Ops will pop up in the future.
