Promotion path blocked & unable to prepare - Delta Force

Published , by Sam Chandler

There is a lot to learn in Delta Force, and one thing that might confuse players is the error message, “Promotion path blocked. Unable to prepare.” This pops up in the pre-game lobby whenever you’re squad is attempting to prepare and launch into a match. It’s not clear what this message means, but the solution is simple.

Promotion path blocked & unable to prepare

In Delta Force, the promotion path blocked and unable to prepare error occurs when the party leader has the ranked checkbox ticked and a player in the squad is not qualified. Basically, it means you are trying to prepare for a ranked match before you are allowed to play.

To fix this issue, have the party leader uncheck the ranked box. This will allow all party members to prepare and ready up, allowing you to dive into a game and hopefully start knocking out some daily missions. By doing these daily missions, you should be able to work toward unlocking Hackclaw. Make sure you’re also trying to unlock Vyron.

Now that you know what “promotion path blocked” means, you can actually click the prepare button and get into a match. Check out our Delta Force page for more help navigating this dense shooter.
