The M13 has a high fire rate, higher than the other Assault Rifles in game and even some SMGs. But the M13 has some punch too with a strong headshot multiplier. Due to the high fire rate you’ll have to grapple with some serious recoil, but the fire rate will allow you to quickly react at close range. Here is a quick glimpse at the weapon in action: https://youtu.be/PqdMclI_cVM
Seasonal Challenges
We had two new seasonal challenges to cover this week, which both relates to the previous section about the M13 and also for Blackout! Here are all of those details below that explain the general tasks and primary rewards that can be obtained in each:

Blackout Bypass
This seven-part seasonal challenge asks you to head out into the new Battle Royale map, Blackout, and to use vehicles like the Antelope A20 while exploring the map.

Dominion Mythic Drop
Ghost has returned with a Mythic weapon fallen from the stars. The Dominion Mythic Drop brings the dark and menacing Ghost – Azrael to Call of Duty: Mobile alongside the meteorite forged M13 – Morningstar. As per usual with a Mythic Drop, this weapon has its own upgrade path consisting of various cosmetic upgrades for attachments, kill effects, charms, and more. Have a glimpse at those:
Alongside Ghost and the M13 – Morningstar there are a variety of other items to acquire in this Mythic Drop too, like the legendary Thermite – Meteoric which has a unique special effect. Find that all in-game now and check out Ghost and his Mythic M13 in action below! https://youtu.be/BAKsRgWDUeY
Feedback
Most of the discussion this week has either been around Blackout, our events, or specifically Counterattack. We don’t have anything to share back all of those, but we greatly appreciate all of the discussions and in particular to see the love for Blackout and the unique Counterattack event. However, one topic we’d like to mention is that for all of Weapon Inspection fans there will be a Developer Diary video coming out soon referencing this. Keep an eye out!
Bug Reports
Since it is a brand-new season, and a huge one at that there have been plenty of potential issues to investigate. Thankfully many are infrequent or rarely happening to only a handful of people, and our community team has been checking through community and social media areas every day to check for new reports of any type of issue. Here is a brief summary of what’ve been looking at some launch:
•Audio Issues, these have been reported in many different ways and we’ve been working with teams since S8 launch to identify and investigate these. Additionally, as of today we have been looking into an issue specifically around hitmarkers not being heard. Thanks for all of the reports on these and we’ll keep working with our teams to try to solve them.
•Season 8 Event Page, we had an issue with the event page not populating and thankfully we were able to quickly fix it! Another thanks to those who reported that one and helped us become aware of it and resolve it.
•Various Camo Texture Issues, these types are thankfully minor in relation to it is just a visual error on a weapon, vehicle camo, or item camo that causes no impact to gameplay, but we’ve been investigating a few and we appreciate the callouts on even these types of issues.
•Several Operators Missing VO, we have a few operators who are missing their unique voices/voice overs (like Alex – Bounty Hunter) and are instead using default male or female operator VO. We want to make sure you hear the great work of the voice actors we work with, so if you see this on any new operators, any time, please let us know so we can try to get that fix in with the next hotfix or major update.
•SMG description errors, we can confirm that SMGSs have not been magically transformed into LMGs despite what their description says in Battle Royale 😉. Looking into it!
•Sniper reticles in BR missing, we are looking into some issues with certain sniper rifles blueprints not displaying reticles in Battle Royale.
•QQ9 – Moonlight Issues, we are looking into an issue with this blueprint not showing a death effect or kill feed notification after the recent update.
•Invisible Characters, right after launch we had various reports of invisible teammates or enemies (usually bots). We believed this was related to the new high resource or low resource download options, but the issue also seems to be resolved. If you are still seeing this issue regularly please report it so we can make sure to stay on top of it.
•Winners Circle Not Displaying, this is a relatively new issue that we’ve only seen a handful of reports for, but if you are seeing an issue with the Winner Circle after a match not populating/displaying then please reach out and let us know.
Support Options
As per usual with any new season we are paying extra attention to any bugs cropping up, so if you see anything please jump into the community or into the support chat to help us investigate it! Here are the two main support options below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/options
Final Notes
We still have more releasing soon for 2nd Anniversary, whether it is videos, events, or more in-game content, but next time we’ll be sharing a community update will be just before Season 9! Our community team is taking a much-needed rest next week and as a result there won’t be a community update. To give you a tease of that next update, we’ll just go ahead and confirm that Halloween is indeed coming haha.
Sorry, you’ll have to wait for real teasers and information next 😉. However, thank you all very much for the support, for the kind words, and for joining us for our 2nd Anniversary! It has been a honor to be part of this this community and to be able to support you all by checking into bugs, to be able laugh wit you all when you share fantastic memes, and to be able to share in a wholesome moment every time someone talks about how CODM helps them in a small or large way. We love it all and we’ll be jumping back in for more of it next time! See @everyone then and happy 2nd Anniversary!

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Discord community 👋 , we are back with another community update and our last of Season 8: 2nd Anniversary! It has been a fantastic season full new content, Blackout, and of course in-game events, like the unique Counterattack event that tasked you with collecting NPCs to send on missions or the silly but fun event that had you building a cake and unlocking letters.
We’ve also had a lot going on outside of the game, like celebratory giveaways in various community areas or the truly massive Battle Royale Worlds streaming event that took place last weekend. That event brought in creators and pros from all over the world to fight it out in a giant Battle Royale competition. If you missed any of that action, then we have a nice winner’s recap for you here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjgyIl0mRE
With 2nd Anniversary we’ve been able to create many different unique events and videos for you all, whether it is the beloved **Ghost Lofi **video, various Blackout focused cinematics, competitive events like BR Worlds, or even just silly videos like Nikto vs Nikto. However, one other video we wanted to call out was our developer diary! We’ve never done anything like it before and if there is appetite we’ll do more in the future. Check it out below! https://youtu.be/5-j_NJVV1AA
We also wanted to give a shout out this community in particular! It is lovely to see, even after 2 years, that Call of Duty: Mobile communities are still growing and still a welcoming place for new players or veterans. Congrats to this community on hitting 200,000 members and make sure to check out the #community-events-🎁 for an event around that 
.
For the rest of this update today we have some first looks at Season 9 content and then a quick round-up of the last of Season 8! We are going to try to keep this one relatively brief since it isn’t long now until we are ready to launch Season 9, which will of course come with another info-filled community update. For now, let’s start off the rest of the update and with an event calendar.
Here is a quick look at all of the newest events and others launching throughout the week:
•**10/01 – 10/20 **~ Sweet Celebration
•10/01 – 10/20 ~ Anniversary Puzzle
•**10/01 – 10/20 **~ Global Weapon Exchange
•**10/15 – 10/20 **~ Payout S&D

•**10/18 – 10/20 **~ Attack of the Undead 20
•10/18 – 10/20 ~ Hardcore Collection
*All Dates UTC
If it isn’t clear, almost everything from Season 8 is ending in just under a week and that means you should get out there and complete all related events now! Do you still need to collect the Global Weapon Exchange weapon blueprint? Better jump into various Seasonal Challenges or the easily acquirable 3 badges you can get for reading the comics. Recap of those Seasonal Challenges below, but first let’s focus on something new!
**Payout S&D 
**
This new version of Search & Destroy has arrived and in this mode you’ll be able to customize your kit each round. Each round you’ll earn money based on both your own performance and the team, which you then use to purchase weapons and equipment at the start of each round. Be careful though, you’ll only have a short while to purchase equipment before the round begins.
Halloween Standoff
The classic Multiplayer map Halloween Standoff will return in Season 9! This fan-favorite map has always been synonymous with the Halloween season for Call of Duty: Mobile and we are always excited to bring it back to you all each year. You’ll be able to enjoy some new content on this map, but we’ll talk about that next week once the new season launches. For now, here is a new flythrough video with some nice easter eggs in there if you watch until the end 😉. https://youtu.be/_qQC45EiXdk
Hovec Sawmill
A brand-new Multiplayer map is coming to Call of Duty: Mobile next season and it is the abandoned rural village that is Hovec Sawmill! This map comes on over from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and features multiple open village areas filled with flanking opportunities, indoor combat areas, and a lovely crumbling tower overlooking the area. Oh also, it is a night map!! Get your first look in this new flythrough and get ready to play it in Season 9: https://youtu.be/hcdEfsN1_Z4
Seasonal Challenges Roundup
There have been five Seasonal Challenges to tackle this time around and they are all available for a few days longer. Through these challenges you can significantly boost your Battle Pass levels with 50,000+ Battle Pass XP, earn a brand-new weapon (the M13), get anniversary badges to complete the Global Weapon Exchange, or grab many different blueprints like the Epic As Val – Polinator. Here is a recap on some of the best challenges to come to 2nd Anniversary!
Deadly Weaponry
This seven-part seasonal challenge tasks you with showing your proficiency with assault rifles! Play MP matches, get kills with ARs, and use specific rifles like the AK-47 to tackle fairly straight forward challenges. For doing all of those tasks, you can earn up to 16,000 Battle Pass XP and the following:
•(Uncommon) Knife – Bullet Metal
•(Uncommon) LK24 – Bullet Metal
•(Uncommon) Holger 26 – Bullet Metal
•(Rare) Frame – Tourmaline Alloy
•New Functional Weapon – M13
Thunderclapped
This six-part seasonal challenge tasks you with using scorestreaks to excel in Multiplayer matches.

•(Rare) Calling Card – Under Control
•(Rare) Striker – Shuttle
•(Epic) AS Val – Pollinator
•Credits, Weapon XP, Anniversary Badges
There will be plenty of more challenges coming next season and with another new functional weapon to unlock through those events. Keep an eye out for that and best of luck finishing up these S8 events!
Dark Nitko Returns
This week we’ve had our first ever Legendary Draw Redux and with our first legendary operator - Dark Nikto! This menacing and deadly operator comes with a variety of his own unique cosmetics, like a kill counter on his wrist and his own parachute. He set the way for legendary operators and you can now snag him in the Dark Side Redux Draw in-game! We hope this answers the many questions we see every season about if we will ever bring back Mythic or Legendary Operators.
Feedback & Bug Reports
In our last major community update we addressed about a dozen different bugs we were either looking into or had already worked on, but there are still others that have cropped up since then and we’ll address those here. However, please refer to that previous community update to see which ones we covered there.
This time around, we are going to address both feedback and bug reports together, because in one particular case this week it wasn’t clear if the issue was a bug or just feedback. Let’s jump in!
•Movement Changes, there were some changes with movement (related to jumping) and it wasn’t clear if these were intended or a bug, but we’ve adjusted movement again to help address this. Thanks to everyone who clearly called this out and with great examples!
•Undead Siege, just a quick reminder that Undead Siege returns in Season 9 (next season)! We will have more details about what’s new or what’s changed in the next update, but for now we’ll say there are some new rewards to earn and new challenging zombie behavior to conquer.
•BR Changes, we just wanted to say thank you to those who have spent any amount of time sharing their feedback about our recent and significant BR changes, whether that is Blackout or changes to mechanics. The team is keeping a close eye on those, just like with any significant changes, and will likely make more updates in the future based on the responses.
•Counterattack Charm, we had an issue where instead of the correct charm reward being given out a different one was sent instead. We are working on some solutions for this and will be able to help players with this very soon. Hang tight a little bit longer!
•Clown Class in BR getting stuck, there is a rare issue of player’s being unable to use weapons or interact with many things in BR. We’ve been looking into this one for a while now and without a lot of success (unfortunately), so if you are seeing this issue please reach out and report it!
•General Lag related issues, we’ve noticed and been working on some general issues with lag in Season 8! It is always hard to discuss these because lag is such a general issue that every single Multiplayer based game deals with that few teams can rarely ever say “we fixed lag!!” but we have made many strides to improve this throughout CODM’s lifespan and we will continue to do so. Specifically, we are investigating new issues that have cropped up since S8.
•Mini Tank - Countdown, speaking of the ultimate “is it really a bug question” – we have this incredibly tiny and adorable Tank – Countdown currently in the Dark Side Draw. Does it make us want to secretly make a mode all about fighting with miniature tanks…yes, yes it does! But it is also a bug and we will probably bring the tank back to full size at some point haha.
Support Options
We have a new season coming soon but that doesn’t mean there still isn’t time to report any bugs related to Season 8 content! We are always watching out for those and so is our support team specifically. Please use the following support areas below to reach out to support and report any issues that may be occurring for you:

Final Notes
To close out this community update we would like to share just one more special video. As you may have noticed, we spend a lot of time trying to share about anything we do that is related to music or behind the scenes because we always see a massively positive response from you all about this type of video content.
Ever since we first did a Behind the Scenes Music Video in Season 6: Once Upon a Time in Rust, we’ve seen that overwhelmingly positive response and we are always striving to share more on that front. With that said, here is a new behind the scenes video featuring composers Nicholas Steinbach and Daniel Tauber, Orchestrator & Producer Daryl Griffith, Assistant Orchestrator James Yan, Music Editor Wes Hicks, and of course a full orchestra! Enjoy and thanks for supporting these: https://youtu.be/1nI_7hww9l4
Next week we’ll be back with Season 9 release community update full of information on the new maps, new weapons, events, and of course a variety of things related to Halloween! We can’t wait to dive into all of that and to celebrate that beloved holiday with you all. We’ll see you then @everyone and thank you all for celebrating our 2nd Anniversary with us !

New & Returning Modes
There are two main modes to check out this season – Drop Zone and Isolated – Night! Here is a quick summary of each and some info on when you can try them out.
Drop Zone
This new mode is available right now and it joins a long-line modes that throws you directly into the action! Different drop zones will appear around each map and each team will fight over them to try to snag care packages. Whoever gets control of the zone will get a significant upper hand, but there are also objectives to fight over. Try it out now on Rust, Hackney Yard, Shoot House, Scrapyard and make sure to collect some extra rewards via the Drop Zone Featured Event!
Isolated – Night
Head back to Isolated later this season and get ready to fight your enemies in the dead of night. Functionally, this is still Battle Royale but a new atmosphere fit perfectly for Halloween. We also have some extra challenges in store to make sure you stay on your toes! Make sure to try out this mode during its limited time run from 10/29 – 11/4 UTC.
New MP Map - Hovec Sawmill
Get ready to explore an abandoned village full of damaged buildings, open rural streets, and burning structures. Hovec Sawmill is mid-size map originally from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), but traditionally daytime. In the spirit of this season, we’ve decided to make it a bit more eerie and as such it is now a night version of that map. You’ll be able to explore it all in early November, but for now here is a brief flythrough video: https://youtu.be/hcdEfsN1_Z4
New Functional Weapons
New Season new weapons to acquire 😉! We have two brand-new guns coming to Call of Duty: Mobile this season. Each awesome and acquirable in its own way. Let’s break them down.
Swordfish – Assault Rifle
This new Assault Rifle comes to us from Black Ops 4 (you can’t always win MW2019 fans :P). The Swordfish is a four-round burst weapon that can easily take down an enemy in one shot if the full burst hits. Through the unique Longsword Magazine, you will also be able to adjust it to a five-round burst for that extra pop of damage at the cost of accuracy and recoil.
You can acquire the Swordfish in the Season 9 Battle Pass either at tier 21 for the base weapon, or at tier 50 where you will get the Epic Blueprint. Get a glimpse of both of those Swordfish looks here:
Thumper
The first grenade launcher for Call of Duty: Mobile! We’ll have more details on this weapon when it releases later in the Season – but this secondary will certainly pack a punch. With the Thumper you won’t need to worry too much about your aim, as each grenade will explode creating AOE damage against all nearby enemies. Snag it in the Outta the Way! Seasonal Challenge releasing at the end of October.
Seasonal Challenges
To start off the season we have two Seasonal Challenges, with one focused on Battle Royale and the other focused Multiplayer. Through one you can snag a variety of different rewards, including the epic Razorback – Alter Ghoul weapon blueprint and the new Flash Drone tactical grenade! Find all of the details below and get ready for more challenges to launch through Season 9.
In Plain Sight
This seven-part seasonal challenge tasks you with using a variety of different perks and pieces of tactical equipment to excel in Multiplayer matches. You’ll start off with a simple task of just playing MP matches and eventually be asked to take down scorestreaks with EMP grenades. Completing all of these tasks will earn you up to 16,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards:
•(Uncommon) Backpack – Shocking
•(Uncommon) MK2 – Shocking
•(Uncommon) AK47 – Shocking
•(Rare) Arctic .50 – Voltaic Garden
•(Rare) Calling Card – Full Moon
•New Tactical Grenade – Flash Drone
Survival of the Fittest
This seven-part Seasonal Challenge asks you to head to Battle Royale and complete various tasks that range from getting kills, to using customized weapons, to landing in certain areas of the map. It is really just all about you doing fairly normal tasks and getting plenty of rewards for completing them 😉. Finish all of the tasks to earn up to 18,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards:
•(Uncommon) Trap Master – Shocking
•(Uncommon) Clown – Shocking
•(Rare) Sticker – Croaked
•(Epic) Razorback – Alter Ghoul
New Battle Royale Class – Pumped
Prepare to take to the skies with the latest Battle Royale Class! This new class, Pumped, allows you to jet pack into the air with limited fuel and capabilities. You aren’t quite capable of flight, but you can double do bursts and quick aerial maneuvers. This new class provides new opportunities for flanking and air to ground combat. Get your jet pack on in mid-November in the Got Hops Featured Event!
Clan Wars – Season 10
We mentioned this briefly in some other community updates, but next season Clan Wars will be getting a bit of a refresh and update that changes the whole feel and balance of it. Rewards will become rotational and not all available at once, nodes will be updated, and the currency earn rate will be adjusted significantly (increased).
You may be asking why we are mentioning this at all in a Season 9 update post and that’s mainly to spread awareness of this impending change, but also to encourage you to complete and unlock as much as you can this season! The clan currency earn rate has already been increased significantly to help you complete anything you have already been working towards, like a new epic operator or weapon, so make sure to snag them before S10. We’ll share more details in a future update!
Credit Store Update
A new season launch also means a new credit store update! As per usual these drop every two weeks and this first one brings in a variety of different items for you to snag with those hard-earned credits.

Final Notes
Season 9: Nightmare is filled with spooky, delightful, and varied content, whether it is Drop Zone, the Trick or Treat event, Hovec Sawmill, or unique store releases like the Game Over (SAW) Draw! We are excited to see what you all think about it, so make sure to share your feedback far and wide, and our teams will be keeping an eye out.
You can find the full patch notes below, which are nearly entirely balance changes, and in Season 10 you can expect a much heftier full app update. See you in the next community update and throughout the Call of Duty: Mobile community!
Balance Adjustment
Multiplayer and Battle Royale
CR-56 AMAX
•M67 Ammo
Developer Comment:
After the recent overall adjustments to semi-automatic rifles, the strength of this loadout remains quite strong. With high damage to the upper body, long range and extremely low recoil, one can eliminate opponents with 2 shots in most cases. We’ve adjusted the range, upper arm damage and recoil to bring this closer in line with other weapons.
M13
• General
• Heavy Long Barrel:
• .300 RTC 30 Round Reload:
• .300 RTC Double Stack 40 Round Reload:
• Fixed an issue where the M13 did not receive the general accuracy improvement in BR.
Developer Comment:
The M13 positions itself as a strong mid-range weapon, but many of its advantages are lost when using attachments. We optimized its basic bullet speed and mobility, and reduced the negative effects of related attachments so that the M13 can better take advantage of the mid-range game.
KN44
• General
• OWC Marksman:
• OWC Ranger:
• MIP Strike Stock:
Developer Comment:
KN44's TTK seemed better on paper than in practice. Unpredictable ballistics and large horizontal recoil limit the performance of the actual TTK. We’ve adjusted the level of recoil to ensure basic accuracy, increased upper body damage, and improved the ability to shoot upwards. Hip fire accuracy has also been improved to enhance performance during close-range encounters.
Chopper
• Short range distance without any attachment adjusted from 10 to 14
Developer Comment:
Chopper’s sprint-to-fire delay and recoil curve, and short range has put it at a disadvantage when compared to other strong machine guns. We’ve increased its short-range effectiveness to improve close-to mid-range performance and suppression capabilities.
UL736
• General
• 50 Round Reload:
• 60 Round Reload:
• Developer Comment:
With only 30 rounds of base ammunition, UL736 is the most mobile machine gun and makes up for a longer TTK with maneuverability. We’ve increased the damage of the first two ranges to improve performance in BR.
S36
Developer Comment:
The recoil curve of the S36 has always been difficult to control. The horizontal recoil in particular has a significant impact on accuracy when firing. We adjusted the recoil curve to improve control during continuous fire.
• Disable (Perk)
Battle Royale
MX9
• Base Damage adjusted from 30-24-16-15 -> 25-21-18-16
Developer Comment:
With its high base damage, MX9 packs a surprising punch in close combat. We’ve lowered its base damage while adjusting the precision hit multiplier so that precision hits remain unchanged.
SKS
• Starting vertical recoil increased by 50%
• Bullet spread during continuous fire increased by 35% after the first shot
• Fixed an issue where SKS fired hitscan instead of projectile.
Developer Comment:
SKS is extremely stable in BR, even without mods. Combined with its high rate of fire and high damage, it is proving to be too strong at medium and long-range distances. We have increased its base recoil and bullet spread, retaining its power with mods equipped but greatly limiting suppression power of continuous fire.
Score Streaks
SAM Turret
• Increased explosion damage from 198 to 385
• Reduced point cost from 850 to 660
Developer Comment:
We noticed that after adjusting the lock-on time of FHJ-18, player air defense capabilities have become much weaker. We’ve made adjustments to the SAM Turret to compensate for this.
Swarm
• Increased the number of drones from 4 to 6
• We’ve increased the number of drones to improve Swarm’s cost-effectiveness.
Napalm
• Reduced point cost from 1500 to 1190
• We’ve reduced the point cost to improve Napalm’s cost-effectiveness.
Lightning Strike
• Reduced point cost from 1050 to 850
• Increased explosion range of missiles from 10m to 15m
Developer Comment:
We’ve reduced the point cost and improved missile explosion range to improve Lightning Strike’s cost-effectiveness.
That's it for this community update! 
We'll see you @everyone next time and enjoy the new season and all of the Halloween festivities.

spark hazel
Trick or treat Call of Duty: Mobile Discord community , it is time for one more update just after Halloween and full of information and news related to the next week! This year we were able to go all-in by theming the whole season to the colors, silliness, horror, and nuances of that beloved and spooky holiday. To celebrate that, we were able to make a half a dozen videos last week to help celebrate the season, the holiday, and more! It may be two days late, but Happy Halloween everyone: https://youtu.be/4TnvB1nuD94
Today’s update is focused around new releases, like Hovec Sawmill, on top of reiterating some important information (like the basics for Stage 5 of the World Championships) while sharing plenty of notes about feedback, bugs, and other recent topics in the community. Right off the bat, we would just like to say thank you all deeply for the excitement, support, and delightful responses to all things Season 9: Nightmare!
Whether it was about Gunzo being a wonderful insane clown, people sending their friends far too many Tricks in the Trick or Treat Event, or appreciation of the general aesthetic of the season (in all things) – we’ve loved all of it and just wanted to share our appreciation for this excellent community!
With that said, you may be asking why is this coming out on a Tuesday of all days? Well, that’s because the most unique part of this community update is that it also contains new 
Public Test Build!! We’ll keep this intro section very short in order to make way for that information, which you can find below just after the event calendar and is a mixture of content for Season 10 and Season 11.
Here is a quick look at all of the newest events and others launching throughout the week:

Public Test Build
It is here and ready to go! Here are all of the public test build details below:
•Begins today on November 2nd
•Test end date TBD
•Available for Android and iOS devices
As per usual, everything you see in the build may not be final, may be buggy, may have placeholder art or text, or may be different from what eventually releases. The content you see is either going to be from the next season or the following (S10 or S11), but in some cases we might be testing features for an even later release. With all of that said, first here are a few known issues with this build:
•Munitions Box is locked behind a "Stay Tuned" message.
•Undead Siege content is currently blocked (we may enable this later in the test)
•BR Sniper Challenge mode is currently locked (we may enable this later in the test)
•Issue with the M4 being locked in the FTUE, this can be bypassed by pressing back in the menu.
•Issues related to the delete resources option
Secondly, here is a quick list of new pieces of content you can look forward to trying out in this build:
•New Equipment
•New Scorestreak
•New MP Modes
•BR Optimizations (numerous)
•Weapon optimizations
•Application improvements and features
Ancestral Remembrance Draw
While many countries celebrate Halloween in a similar way, Mexico has its cultural holiday going on at the same time called Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead). This holiday takes place the same time as Halloween, but it is far different with a significant focus on honoring ancestors and the dead in a celebratory way full of food, parades, poems, masks, and more.
The designs for the Ancestral Remembrance Draw are meant to honor and celebrate the rich vibrancy of that holiday. You can see those distinct designs through Soap – Esqueleto, the legendary Swordfish – Calaca, Parachute - Viaje de la Muerte, and all of the items in the draw. Get a glimpse of it all below and check it out in-game now! https://youtu.be/Riwivcl1Fxc
Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship – Stage 5 Finals
A while ago we announced that the Stage 5 Finals of the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship, presented by Sony, will be held as an online event. We have seen a healthy amount of discussion since then and with plenty of questions about how that event will work, but at the moment we don’t have any additional information beyond what we shared then.
However, the main place we’ll be sharing new information is directly to the participating teams or on the Call of Duty: Mobile Esports website. For now, we just wanted to re-share that information and in particular the dates below! We’ll be back with more news closer to the finals.
**Stage 5: Western Finals: Dec 4 – Dec 5 **
•Regions: North America, LATAM & EU
•Teams: 4 LATAM Stage 4 Qualified Teams, 3 NA Stage 4 Qualified Teams, 1 NA CODM Masters Qualified Team, 3 EU Stage 4 Qualified Teams & 1 EU CODM Masters Qualified Team
**Stage 5: Eastern Finals: Dec 11 – Dec 12 **
•Regions: SAME, Japan, Garena & China
•Teams: 4 SAME Stage 4 Qualified Teams, 2 Japan Stage 4 Qualified Teams, 3 Garena Qualified Teams, 3 China Qualified Teams
New Functional Weapon – Thumper
The first grenade launcher for Call of Duty: Mobile! This secondary isn’t so much about hitting enemies with one shot kills but using explosive grenades that hit multiple enemies at once. We’ve seen plenty of feedback about this one already in the community, especially about possibly being too weak to be viable, but be rest assured that our team is always keen to turn that feedback into changes if they agree that it isn’t at the right place balance wise.
For now, you can acquire this new weapon in two different places! One way you can snag it is through the Outta The Way!! Seasonal Challenge, which will get you the base version of the weapon. However, if you are feeling that Halloween theme and want something that downs your enemies in style and in confetti, then you can snag the legendary Thumper – Surprise Party in the Unhinged Jokester Draw. If you are looking to see the Thumper in action then look no further than our latest Season 9 weapon highlight video: https://youtu.be/Rel5b1SiqVI
Outta The Way!
This seven-part seasonal challenge tasks you with using shotguns, perks, and more specifically in Multiplayer! These challenges are all a bit general and meant to push you to mix-up your loadout a bit. Completing all of these tasks will earn you up to 16,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards:
•(Uncommon) J358 – Shocking
•(Rare) Spray – Urban Undead
•(Rare) Frame – Chipset Frame
•(Rare) SKS – Voltaic Garden
•New Functional Weapon – Thumper
The Unhinged Jokester
When we started to approach this fun season of horror we knew we had a legendary operator coming up and we couldn’t think of someone better fitted to this season than the nightmarish clown himself – Gunzo! He’s back and refitted with the kind of quality, unique cosmetics, and weaponry appropriately attuned to his madness.
In particular, he has a kill counter attached to his arm on top of a saw blade that can be used in melee attacks. Like all legendary operators he comes with those unique unlocks, tied to the operator unlock, but is part of a bigger draw full of other items, like the first blueprint for the Thumper! The Thumper – Surprise party is decked out and designed to be an insane clown’s best friend, with an explosive death effect that turns your enemies into confetti.
Lastly, we like to take a moment to go behind the scenes on all of this and talk about all of the videos we got to make this season to help introduce Gunzo – Devil Jester. When we first started working on these promotional videos we wanted to make sure that Gunzo’s insanity, violence, and humor were all on display. We tackled this challenge by using the talented voice work of voice actor Jason Spisak (Gunzo’s voice actor 
) to help give these videos all a little “extra”. We love how they turned out and how Jason’s voice brings the operator to life. Here is the last in that series of videos: https://youtu.be/CmCBhdj5NO4
Hovec Sawmill
It is almost time explore this mid-size village originally from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)! In the original version, it was daytime but we decided to refit it for this spooktacular season and made it nighttime. This map essentially still obeys the laws of Call of Duty Multiplayer with 3 primary lanes to push, but the buildings, obstacles, and open outdoor areas make it a challenging and unique map to fight across.
Hovec Sawmill is suited well to all types of play with its close quarter’s indoor areas, chokepoints, long outdoor lanes (suited for snipers), and various buildings that you can use to your advantage. The Sawmill 🪚 itself is rather damaged and beat up but can still provide a great view of the middle lane of the map. Get a look at the map through this map flythrough video: https://youtu.be/hcdEfsN1_Z4
Hovec Sawmill will be releasing later this week 11/05 UTC and will be releasing alongside a featured event called Hovec Havoc. This is one of those events that is extremely straight forward and all about giving you some extra rewards for checking out the new map! In particular, you can snag the following through this event:
•(Uncommon) AK117 – Bloody
•(Uncommon) J358 – Bloody
•(Rare) UL736 – Rose Cinder
•(Rare) Sticker – Crossbones
Call of Duty: Vanguard
For our last section today, we’d just like to note (as you may have seen our Twitter) that Call of Duty: Vanguard’s release is coming up on November 5th (PT)! That is the latest Call of Duty experience for you console and PC players out there. As you may remember, for the Vanguard beta we gave out Arthur Kingsley for any CODM player that participated in the beta. For launch, we have something else up our sleeve! No hints other than the image below and see you on Friday for that news 😉.
Feedback
Since the launch of S9 we’ve seen quite a bit of feedback about some bigger topics, like Undead Siege or weapon meta, and while we don’t have a direct response to those now that doesn’t mean we don’t see those discussions. We actually don’t have any to specifically bring up outside of bugs or what was already mentioned in the rest of the update (like the Stage 5 finals).
However, a quick reminder for Undead Siege – the mode returned this season but not with any significant updates. Most of the updates and improvements were meant to be smaller quality of life ones or additional pieces of content, but the major updates are planning for a future update. We’ll call that all out in advance through a future community update and social media posts.
Bug Reports
We’ve been looking into a variety of different issues over the past two weeks since launch (somehow it has been two weeks already!) and here is a quick list of some of what we already working on or currently investigating. First, a huge thanks to everyone who taken any amount of time to try to report issues through our support teams or via the community! Always is and always will be appreciated.
•
**Thumper Exploit **– We are looking into an issue with a possible exploit related to the Thumper. Yes, we are purposefully keeping this devoid of details in order to not spread the exploit.
•**Outta The Way! Task Issue **– This seasonal challenge seemingly has a task, the last one, that is refusing to complete for some folks. Thankfully there is a workaround of not using charms or stickers on the equipped shotgun, but it is being worked on.
•**Flash Drone Effect Stuck **– We’ve seen some reports of the Flash Drone’s effect not going away after a short period of time, like it should, but unfortunately we haven’t been able to reproduce this issue. If anyone is still experiencing this please reach out to our support teams or to our community teams!
•Nikto – Dark Side Issues – We heard about various issues related to this, like some of the red effects no longer displaying or issues with his eyes, and we believe some of these have been fixed already. However, some more issues are still being worked on related to this.
•
Aether Camos Progression – We are just confirming for this one that we fixed the issue preventing progression shortly after S9 release.
•**Floating Butcher in Undead Siege **– Cool effect or bug? Probably a bug and one we are looking into but haven’t been able to reproduce. If you are seeing this regularly please reach out to our teams through in-game support or the community.
•Can’t Rename Clan – This is not intended and we are investigating this issue.
•**Lag/Desync **– Just your casual monthly acknowledge that lag and desync is a thing and varies greatly depending on your region, provider, and most importantly how close you are to a server. Throughout the length of CODM we’ve done quite a bit to improve servers or add new ones to help on our end, but this is an ongoing effort and there are still plans for more improvements!
That’s it for now, but as per usual feel free to ping us about bugs you are seeing and we’ll do our best to look into it! There has been plenty of new content launched this week so we’ll be placing some extra attention on all of that to make sure you all could experience that without any roadblocks.
Support Options
As per usual we are out there every day on the look-out for bugs to investigate and fix, whether it is through community channels or our in-game support options. So, if you see anything please jump into the community or into the support chat to help us investigate it! Here are the two main support options below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
For the end of this community update we’d like to go back to our old ways of highlight community content! This time around we came across some fan art that is great for a few reasons. First, it is always great to see new creators sharing and with so much support, love, and kindness from the rest of the community.
Secondly, we all (mainly you all 😉) always joke about our love of Modern Warfare 2019 content and to reinforce that quite accurate joke we selected some fan art that is from that title! Take a look at FlintBlaze’s Kreuger – Taiga, a winter themed operator from that game.
We hope FlintBlaze (aka Flint) sticks around in the community, makes some more art, and continues to share their love for all things Call of Duty! Well done Flint and as per usual we’ll keep an eye out for more memes, interesting posts, art, and community content to share next time.
👋 We’ll see @everyone next time for another community update focused on Season 9, but we aren’t sure exactly when that will release at the moment due to the extremely unusual timing of this update. However, in the meantime we’ll be out responding to posts, checking for bugs and feedback, and already working on new content to share with you all for Season 10. Enjoy the rest of Season 9: Nightmare and take care!

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Discord Community 👋 ! We are back once again today to announce that the latest update has released and is now available to download. If you don’t see it yet in your Apple Store or Google Play Store then just keep checking back as the update can take some time to roll out to all regions and stores. With that said, today we are happy and excited to announce that the new season is called Season 10: Shadows Return!
This new season features the return of Templar as his search continues and with a whole line of comics, and in-game events, that allow you to explore more of his story. Templar makes his way to your hands as a new playable operator in the S10 Battle Pass as Templar - Unredeemed. We’ll have more to share about the BP and new season soon, but here is a glimpse:
One new piece of content we wanted to call out in advance, because it is a community favorite, is weapon inspection! As many of you who participated in the Public Test Build noticed, it is here and it is comprehensive. Now you can use this extra flourish in-game to enjoy (via the emote menu) and appreciate the intricate designs of your weapon, especially those high-quality weapon blueprints. Additionally, Mythic weapons will be getting unique weapon inspections in the future!
Just a side note, but a huge thank to you everyone who spent time to help test that last Public Test Build! We had over 50,000 downloads/registrations within the first 48 hours and that's pretty impressive . We appreciate it and we hope you see that all leading to a more stable update. Anyways, back to the update itself!
This update has plenty coming in it, like map changes, new content, improvements, weapon balance, new features (like FOV adjustements), and much more! As per usual some of that will be available immediately, like balance changes, while pieces of new content, like new maps or weapons, will be released throughout the season. You can find the full patch notes below, so let’s jump in and we hope you all enjoy the update!
Season 10: “Shadows Return” brings new contents including:

Multiplayer
New Maps -Vacant
The Vacant map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is now available on mobile!
•The Vacant Map embraces two different play styles, where close combat should feel more visceral and ranged combat focuses more on targeting skills. Players should be able to opt into their style of choice, those who make the right decision will be rewarded with victory!
New Score Streaks
Orbital Laser
•Orbital Laser launches a laser in the direction indicated by the player. The laser deals continuous damage to enemies situated in the center of the beam, and slows enemies on the outer area
New Game Mode
Control
•Each Control Game consists of multiple rounds where players rotate between playing offense and defense to score points. Number of revives are shared amongst teammates. The team scoring the most points wins the round, and the team that wins the most rounds wins the game.

New MVP replay system will now highlight the MVP player’s two most mind-blowing skill shots instead of their final kill in game.
Map Updates
Hackney Yard
•Lighting in Hackney Yard has been improved to spot nearby enemies
•The railing at point A has been updated to resolve parkour glitches
Nuketown
•Wooden walls in the Nuketown previously did not reduce bullet damage properly, this issue has been fixed and now damage is matched with player’s expectation.
Hovec Sawmill
•Halloween has faded back to darkness, Hovec Sawmill is now back in the limelight (the map is now daytime)! A visual update is implemented for the water wheel.
Other MP Updates
Mode - Payout S&D
•Players can now use Payout S&D currency to purchase customized backpacks ingame.

New Weapons
CBR4
•The CBR4 is a controllable SMG with a large magazine, its 5.7mm bullet brings stronger penetration and smaller recoil, which can exert a strong dominance in the mid-to-close range.
SVD
•The SVD is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that is highly mobile. It has a medium-to-high firing power, dealing slightly lower damage. Opponent can be easily eliminated if shot in the upper chest area.
NUNCHUKS
•Another new and agile melee weapon is coming! The nunchuks, a weapon synonymous with masters of martial arts, will be available through the Hand to Hand Combat Seasonal Challenge coming later in Season 10.
Clan Wars
In the past three seasons, we have noticed that some players did not receive enough tokens to exchange for the season rewards. In order to prioritize player’s gaming experience, we have made the following changes:
•Adopting what was implemented in 12.0, we will continue to increase the amount of weekly obtainable tokens.
•Tokens will reset every season. Previous seasonal rewards will be removed from the store and replaced by current season’s listed items. Players are guaranteed to spend their tokens before the end of each season!
•Don’t worry if you missed the chance to claim your season rewards, missed-out opportunities will make an appearance in various fashion starting the next Clan War update.
•Clan borders will now display the final rank of the clan war in the previous season, this border will remain unchanged until the current season ends.
Balance Adjustments
Multiplayer and Battle Royale
Shorty
•Shorty’s dominance in close-range combat continues to overrule secondary shotguns. To balance out secondary shotgun options, we have adjusted Shorty’s damage, increased its shooting interval and recoil recovery, and shortened the range for lethal shots.
-Single damage: 28-20-17-15 -> 28-14-13-12
-Slightly increased recoil: base 3.57 -> 6, max 6 -> 12
1911
•The 600ms TTK has been incompatible with the current meta, we increased 1911’s close-range damage, shortened TTK to 400ms in close-range combat, and TTK to 200ms in face-to-face combat (160ms with Lightweight Trigger).
-Damage Range: 20-25-30 -> 9-20-25-30
-Damage: 26-20-17-16 -> 35-26-20-17-16
-Headshot damage ratio: 1.4 -> 1.75
-Chest and abdomen damage ratio: 1 -> 1.15
Swordfish
•The penta burst mode tends to affect aiming accuracy, which creates a skill barrier for players. Therefore, we shortened the burst interval and increased the magazine capacity to increase accuracy.
-Burst interval: 0.2 -> 0.16
-Default magazine capacity: 36 -> 40
-Expanded magazine capacity: 44 -> 52
Halberd Mag
•Magazine capacity: 40 -> 50
•Damage to the chest and arms: range within 0~40m: 24 -> 26, range 40m or further: 21 -> 23
Type 25
We are buffing Type 25 because it is lacking damage even with a Stopping Power Reload, its TTK also did not show an advantage in close combat. Therefore, both fire rate and damage to the abdomen have been increased to improve close combat effectiveness. The damage of Stopping Power Reload is increased without affecting the MP’s original TTK.
•Decrease in horizontal recoil by 30% and the vertical recoil by 20%
•Fire Rate: RPM 790 -> 857
•Damage to the abdomen: 24 -> 26
Stopping Power Reload
•Vertical recoil: +8% -> +20%
•Horizontal recoil: +0% -> +15%
•Damage: 25-23-20-19-16 -> 28-24-21-19-16
•Remove reload time debuff
Man-O-War
Man-O-war's high damage spread, low firing rate and high recoil is making the actual TTK differ from the theoretical value.
The trajectory of the first 6 bullets is slightly adjusted to fix this issue.
•Adjust vertical recoil
•Decrease the ADS bullet spread: about 5%
MX9
MX9 was initially designed for players to gain a suppression advantage at close range when optimizing combat positioning and recoil control during high movement speed game plays. However, its high base damage and smooth recoil curve drastically increased its accuracy, making it easy to hit the upper body area during combat.
Therefore, the base damage is slightly reduced and recoil curve is adjusted to put a higher emphasis on player positioning during combat.
•Base damage: 30-24-16-15 -> 25-21-18-16
•Increased horizontal recoil
R9-0
R9-0’s long sprint-to-fire delay and unique pumping mechanism seems to give players a sense of lag during combat. The sprint-to-fire delay and pump time are slightly reduced to improve player experience.
•Sprint-to-fire delay: 0.25 -> 0.2
•Bolt time: 0.5 -> 0.4
DLQ33
In order to adapt to the hp in Payout S&D, DLQ33’s damage to the chest, abdomen and arms is slightly increased to ensure a fully armored target can be killed. This adjustment will not change the TTK in MP mode.
•Damage to chest, abdomen, and arms: 135 -> 150
Perk - Speed Up Kill
We are adjusting Speed Up Kill Perk because its movement speed bonus is allowing mechanical players to take on multiple opponents at once.
Therefore, the movement speed bonus of the perk will remain unchanged, the player's movement speed bonus will be removed, the reloading bolt action remains unchanged, and player tactics such as slide jumping will no longer scale with movement speed bonus.
•Movement speed bonus: 10% -> 0%
•Recoil recovery adjustment for semi-automatic weapons
•Players can change camera angle to cancel recoil recovery animation while using marksman and sniper rifles.
Launcher
Launchers have always been a tricky weapon to balance in CODM. We want our players to utilize different launchers based on tactical decisions, and not abuse its power in game. Therefore, each launcher’s mobility and damage stats are now shown separately to assist players in analyzing in-game situations. We hope this change opens up more opportunities for strategic gameplay.
•Fixed the issue where AOE damage did not take effect simultaneously after launcher weapons were used.
• Weapons that were previously affected by this issue: War Machine, Sparrow, FHJ-18, SMRS, Thumper, AMR with Explosive Mag.
FHJ-18
FHJ-18 is the best countermeasure to Scorestreaks and vehicles, we hope the following adjustments enhance its performance against them.
• Initial flight speed: 30m/s -> 60m/s, maximum speed unchanged.
SMRS
SMRS has become a popular launcher due to its accessibility in different game modes. However, we noticed an underperformance of SMRS when it is used to fire at vehicles in MP, and an overpowering situation when it is used in BR mode. The following adjustments are implemented to balance the weapon performance.
•Direct Hit Damage in MP: 160 -> 300
•Explosion Range in MP: 3.5m -> 2.1m, the range for lethal damage remains unchanged.
•Direct Hit Damage in BR: 300 -> 290
•Initial flight speed in BR: 120m/s -> 80m/s, maximum speed unchanged.
Thumper
We have been reluctant on buffing the Thumper because it could easily turn the tables on many situations. However, we noticed that the Thumper has been underperforming especially when being used against vehicles and during streak kills. Therefore, the damage of the Thumper has been cautiously adjusted to meet player’s expectation.
•Direct Hit Damage in MP: 130 -> 160
• Minimum Damage in MP: 10 -> 1
•Explosion Range in MP: 4m -> 3.5m, range for lethal damage increased by 30%
Multiplayer
Map - Terminal
Airport restaurant sofas and aircraft seats are often used as a powerful defensive mechanism. Models and collision of these items are now adjusted to increase counterplay measures.
Map - Scrapyard 2019
Fixed the issue where the actual collision of the wing debris was larger than the designed model, and was blocking bullets in the midfield of Scrapyard.
Map – Crossfire
Fixed the issue where players vanish when they’re in certain positions on the second floor of the Crossfire Laundry Room and become visible when they are on the bus.
Perk - Martyrdom
Slightly shortened the explosion delay time.
Perk - Quick Fix
Fixed the issue where Quick Fix continues to regenerate health despite taking damage. In addition, players are now limited to a single instance of Quick Fix every 2 seconds regardless of successive kills.
Tactical – Gas Grenade
Reduced the deceleration rate; slightly reduced the range of action.
Score Streak – Hawk X3
Slightly reduce firing spread.
Operator Skill – K9 Unit
Increased K9 Unit’s movement speed.
Battle Royale
Nova Gas
The damage of Nova Gas has been adjusted accordingly to deduct only the hp and not the armor.
Safe Zone Shrinking adjustment
The first Safe Zone shrinking time is delayed to allow a slower pace in the early gameplay. We also reduced the damage of the first three outside safe zone fields in Blackout and Isolated.
Character Movement adjustment
Swimming speed is decreased and ADS movement speed is increased while character is in water
Match/Ranked Match Update
Multiplayer
•Additional highlight clips are available for top 5000 legendary players.
•Adjusted ranking algorithm where defeated teams in a very close matchup will lose fewer rank points
•Shortened queue time for evening players
•Updated Rank Lobby screen allowing players to have easier access to see the start and end date of the season.
•Fixed the issue of long queue time for certain MP rank matches.
•Player’s win streak will no longer be affected if they queued into the middle of a MP match and lost that game.
Battle Royale
•Improved the matchmaking function by grouping players with similar skill-level in the same BR.
•Updated Rank Lobby screen allowing players to have easier access to see the start and end date of the season.
Other System Updates
Weapon Inspection
Weapon Inspection feature is added. Players can use this feature by holding down the inspection button in the center of the emoji wheel or turn on the independent inspection button in the settings.
Friend Reservation
Players may send invitations to reserve their friends when their friends are still in game - team up with a friend and play 5 games to unlock this new reservation function!
Like Players
A new praise system is added allowing players to give a thumbs up to the most outstanding teammate or opponent after the game.
FOV setting
A new FOV setting is available for players to adjust their FOV while using different weapons.
Realistic Scope
A more realistic transition for the aim through scopes is added to provide a better FOV when aiming. After the update, players can experience this feature by switching on the "Realistic Sight Effects" in the Audio and Graphics Settings. The weapons and sights that were not implemented with this effect will be included in future updates.
Shader Preload
A new Shader Preload setting is available in audio/graphics settings to help enhance player gaming experience.
MEMC Setting
Players who routinely experience frame drop due to overheating devices can enable MEMC function in the audio/graphics settings. This additional function is implemented to help such players experience a higher framerate in game.
For the time being, MEMC only supports BR game mode when frame rate is set to ‘Max’ or above and is limited to certain Android devices. MEMC will gradually be introduced to all devices in future updates.
See you on Wednesday for the Season 10 release @everyone ! Enjoy the new update and please report any issues you see.

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Discord Community 
! We are back today at the tail end of Season 10: Shadows Return with one last community update before we enter the final season of 2021. You can expect the final batch of events, playlists, and “last chance” options to all be available now for S10. However, if you are looking for something new we shared our very first glimpse at the newest MP map coming to Season 11 earlier today. Have a good look through that blizzard:
We’ll have more glimpses of new maps, weapons, operators, items, and more releasing every single day and up until the release mid-next week! First though, we had tiny little event going on last weekend called The Western Finals of The World Championship 2021 (Presented by Sony)! Hopefully you caught some of that action alongside millions of other viewers from around the world, but if not, we have a new Top 5 Plays video for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu1JcHGMiBI
A massive and heartfelt congrats to all teams to made it to the finals and to Tribe Gaming for bringing in the win! Next up, The Eastern Finals. The first day of this exciting and tense competitive event has begun earlier tonight at 15:00 JST for Day 1 and you can catch Day 2 at the same time tomorrow! The event will be packed with hours of competitive gameplay and of course many stellar casters to help call the action!
Since these events take place in various parts of the world we have many different streams to provide you sub-title options, like Hindi or Japanese. We hope everyone enjoys and best of luck to all participating teams! You can find the streams all setup and ready to go on our Call of Duty: Mobile Esports YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2WMdmYS1dclOCiJjyyW7_w
Lastly, just a heads up that you can tune into the World Championship in-game as well via the main lobby screen (check up at the top near announcements). Now, let’s jump into the rest of this community update to talk over events, recaps, and of course that last batch of new content to drop for the season!
Here is a quick look at all of the newest events and others launching throughout the week:
•12/10 – 12/30 ~ Techno-Aim Draw
•12/10 – 12/16 ~ Attack of the Undead 20 (MP)
•**12/10 – 12/16 **~ Hardcore Hold (MP)
•**12/10 – 12/16 **~ Gun Game Mosh Pit (MP)
•12/10 – 12/16 ~ Hovec Sawmill 24/7 (MP)
•12/10 – 12/16 ~ BR Alcatraz
•**12/10 – 12/16 **~ One Last Farewell Event
*All Dates UTC
There is definitely no way the new season starts just after 12/16 😉, but in other news Alcatraz is back once again and available for a limited time! With Blackout and Isolated that space has been a bit crowded, so it makes it tougher to keep all three of them available without negatively impacting your matchmaking experience, but our teams are still testing, adjusting, and working to get the right balance. Next up, we have a rare occurrence – behind the scenes content!
Season 10 – Theme Music Behind The Scenes
Every other season lately we’ve been able to create behind the scenes footage, thanks to Timi Studios Audio Team, and this season we are honored to be able to share another glimpse at how our wonderful theme music is composed. This is the last of these videos for 2021 and we just wanted to first say thank you to everyone for the continual love, interest, and support for all things related to CODM music!
As you’ll hear in the video below, Season 10 first started with a theme around the ‘anti-hero’. Of course the was tied to Templar in the end, but the musicians often have to start conceptualizing just based on loose ideas, themes, and designs. Our teams work with them throughout to help make sure that music ends up syncing with the comics and the Season’s narrative.
Thankfully, we work with many different professionals and they are able to explain, illustrate, and bring to life these ideas. Take a look at the Season 10: Shadows Return Behind The Scenes music video below and get some proper insights into how this stellar track was created: https://youtu.be/Z-aQ-8tmYv0

There are some standouts from the pack though, so make sure to check these out and complete them before the season ends next week.

•(Uncommon) GKS – Shaded Weaponry

So, to help celebrate and highlight those we made a new video focused all on the various melee weapons, specifically the Nunchuks, Prizefighters, Baseball Bat, Karambit, and Axe. Check it out and let us know if you have any favorite new melee weapons or camos from this season:
**
First Female Legendary – Outrider - Techborn**
Throughout the years of Call of Duty: Mobile we’ve had a variety of high quality and unique legendary operators, like the menacing Nikto – Dark Side, the well-equipped Ghost – Retribution, and the determined and vicious Mace – Final Guard. This week, we are thrilled to add one more to that line of legendary operators with our first female legendary operator, and with none other than the fan-favorite Outrider!
She is fueled by a desire to safeguard her friends, allies, and squad, and to track down anyone who dares to threaten them. She’s equipped with various high-tech gadgets that help her be an efficient, precise, and feared operative. Like all legendary operators, she has unique cosmetics, like a kill tracker, lobby screen, BR death box, BR jump pose, and a special Sparrow camo.
You can find Outrider – Techborn in-game now, in the store, as a part of the Techno-Aim Draw and alongside various other high-tech gadgetry, blueprints, or camos, like the first legendary crossbow. Take a look at Outrider in action in our latest trailer: https://youtu.be/E1gPBW84_i8
We are continually privileged to be able to work with such fantastic creative teams who make these images and videos to help highlight new operators like this. However, we’ve realized we don’t give you a lot of ways to use those images yourself, whether it is for a desktop background or just to show your love of this operator. So! We’ve got some hook-ups for you:
Outrider Gifs & Clips: https://giphy.com/callofduty-mobile/seasonal-highlights
Outrider High-Res Images: https://imgur.com/a/DtIZKAT
Enjoy and let us know if you’d like more of that type of thing in the future! If so, we can work with the team to try to also grab some 9x16 cuts (sized for phones) to provide some mobile centric background options. Enjoy the new draw and keep an eye out for the next legendary operator to drop in S11!
Undead Siege
Just another quick note to share a tiny bit more about what to expect from this next Undead Siege update in Season 11. First, like we said last week this update is aimed more at you veteran players who thought hard mode was too easy once you figured some powerful strategies.
We’ll also have new rewards coming, which will be available for all types of Undead Siege players (casual and hardcore). You’ll be able to find a variety of details about this early next week once we announce Season 11 through social media and our Call of Duty: Mobile blog. Almost there!
S10 Bugs & Feedback Recap
Throughout the season we’ve seen a variety of different topics and bugs to chase down. It is often hard to keep you all aware of what we are actively working on, looking at it, or considering, but that’s one of our weekly goals with these community updates – to keep you all informed. With this update, we’ll try to recap the major feedback and bugs we’ve seen throughout this season.
Bugs – Under Investigation
Nyx VO issue – Incorrect VO is being used in non-intense situations
Hovec Sawmill Map Exploit – We are investigating this exploit. Please do not share examples of how this is done since it only encourages other to use it. Feel free to report anyone using this exploit and depending on the severity we may take enforcement action.
Controller Issues – We’ve put out a fix for this earlier in the season but we are continuing to investigate issues, particularly on Android devices, with controllers not functioning.
Purely Disheveled Crate – We identified an issue with this offer and are working on sending out a fix to all affected players.
FPS Drops in BR Warfare – Due to the large player count in this mode there are often issues on lower end devices with it not running as well, but they seem exacerbated this season and we are investigating the issue to see what can be done to help improve performance.
Some Mythic Weapons Not Appearing in BR – This one we’ve seen sporadic reports of for different weapons and some we’ve been able to replicate and fix, while other seem like they might be tied to resources not being downloaded. Please keep reporting these if you see it.
Legendary ORV Missing Unique Engine Sounds – We are investigating this issue and thanks for the reports, and videos clearly showing the issue.
Unable to Inspect Certain Weapons – We noticed this with the Malpractice Knife in particular but are still looking for other examples of any issues with this new weapon inspection feature.
Loadout Gun Names Restricted – We are investigating issues with certain seemingly benign names being restricted for loadouts. These may be overly cautious on purpose, but we’ll see**.**
Effects Carrying Over into MVP Screen – We saw one spectacular example of this earlier in the season with someone being molotov’d right before the end of the match and then you could see them on fire during the MVP screen. However, despite our best efforts we could not reproduce this issue. If you run into this please report it so we can try again with new details!
General Lag & Disconnect Issues – We’ve seen various reports of different issues with this throughout the season, like one day a spike in Ranked Mode disconnects. While we don’t have any clear “fixes” for this that we can immediately reference, our teams are always monitoring network and server stability for these types of hiccups.
Bugs – Fixed
Nomad Artisan Skin Graphical Issue – We checked into this and it should be fixed. Thanks for the reports!
Ghost Character Bio – Incorrect bio was reported and fixed.
Medium Graphic Options Disappeared – We checked into and fixed this issue if this was new to you as of Season 10 and you used to be able to use this graphical option.
Mythic Nautilus Reactive Effects MIA – The special effects of this weapon mysteriously disappeared in Season 10 and thanks to your reports we were able to quickly fix it!
Feedback
Some of the most regular feedback we’ve seen throughout this season has been about the balance of various things, like Persistence, melee weapons, the Type 25, or the Holger. At this moment we don’t have any notes or updates to share about those, but that’s something to keep an eye out for with the new season as we often roll out balance changes or updates alongside the season release.
However, our next major update will be coming in January 
and that one is most likely to be filled with improvements, bug fixes, optimizations, and balance changes. We’ll try our best to share back details and information in advance of that, but for this next release we can say that most of the balance changes in S11 are for the CBR4 and Kilo Bolt-Action.
Support Options
A new season will be here next time we chat, so just a reminder that if you need any assistance please use the following options below to get assistance with any type of issue. While we regularly look at the community and report bugs that way, there is still a whole team of support agents waiting to help out! The main two official options are below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
You made it to the end of this community and to latest community highlight! This time around, we want to first say in advance please be warned this video we are sharing has a lot of flashing and quick scene changes.
This week's community highlight is from user un_belli_vable, who edited together the background lobbies of seven different seasons without any UI being shown. Might sound simple, the result is fantastic and quickly shows the variance of designs and themes across 2021. Our tema loved it and we hope you all do to! Check it out:
Thanks for that fantastic piece of community content and thank you all for the non-stop flow of memes, art, feedback, designs, and creations like the above! That's it for this community update and we'll be back in a little under a week with the Season 11 release update. Keep an eye out for new details about that season to drop every day until then and be sure to check out the Eastern Finals! Take care and see @everyone next time 👋
-The Call of Duty: Mobile Team

New & Returning Maps
This season we are bringing in the holiday gifts with four maps coming into the Multiplayer circulation! Two holiday classic maps have returned for your enjoyment and we have one brand-new map coming into the mix. Details on all three maps below!
Icebreaker
This brand-new map comes on over from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and is our first Multiplayer map to allow for full underwater combat. This map has your usual three lane structure across a mid-size area full of outdoor and indoor options, but it has some extra nuance due to the verticality introduced through swimming and the submarine area in the center. https://youtu.be/I0cDt2b4c0g
As you can see, this map offers a variety of options for close, mid, and long-range combat. That’s just a quick look at the map but get ready for a more detailed break-down once we get closer to it launching at the end of December! For now, you’ve got some old favorites waiting 😉.
Nuketown Russia
This map sparked a long community discussion about which should remain in the game despite plenty of players liking both. In the end, the original Nuketown returned and we put Nuketown Russia on ice. However, it is back now for Season 11 and while it doesn’t have its own playlists it is including in many different playlists. In particular, be sure to look for it in the Gun Game Moshpit, Rapid Fire, and Secondary School playlists.
Holiday Raid
The oldest holiday themed map is Holiday Raid and per tradition it returns once again this year! This estate has now been lavishly redecorated to fit the holiday theme and is now ready for some snowball fights. You can find this map available right now in the Holiday Raid 24/7 playlist and in some other general playlist available throughout the season! Make sure to check it out and see why it is a fan-favorite for this time of the year.
Reclaim
This map comes from the first season in 2021 (Season 1 – New Order) and was meant to follow up the holiday season with an outdoor mall that was abandoned in the dead of winter. This map is relatively small but offers a variety of options due to its vertical environment with a bottom floor and top floor of the mall. Explore Reclaim yourself when it launches in early January with its own 24/7 playlist!
Undead Siege Update – Nightmare Mode & More
This season has come with new seasonal content, like weapons, a MP map, BP, and challenges, but it also came with a brand-new Undead Siege update! This update has some content that will be available for all players while others are strictly tied to the new difficulty – Nightmare Mode.
First, some general changes outside of the mode:
•Now available on the Blackout map
•New Rewards
•Leaderboards have been reset
•New mission – Cerberus Mission
•Pack-a-Punch and Cola machines available
🧟♂️ **Nightmare Mode **is the main new draw for your veteran players who found the mode to be too easy in the first place, especially once you figured the behavior of enemies and waves. Now, there are modifiers to waves to help make them less predictable and new updates to the Undead’s AI to help them better challenge you on this difficulty. However, to help you there are also new Legendary Turrets! Get a glimpse below at some of those changes for both the new difficulty and also for the general update: https://youtu.be/GNA8Mp3kJu8
For jumping back into the mix you’ll be able to start working on completionist camos again (Aether Crystal) but you can also earn new rewards, like Dark Matter weapon variants. Jump in now and check that out live in-game!
Season 10 Comics Recap
A quick break from the Season 11 content, but as we mentioned earlier this season comes with new comics and they will conclude the current storyline of the comics. There will be a new storyline starting in Season 1 2022 with some new and familiar operators, but this is a huge moment in the comics with Templar, Ghost, and Shephard all tying up loose ends in one way or another.
With that in mind, we wanted to call-out a fantastic community creation of an animated comics recap for Season 10: Shadows Return. A player named **codmcomics **has created and shared out this short, animated comics video in various places, and while it isn’t “new to S11” it is both worth highlighting to celebrate their creation and to help anyone catch up before diving into the S11 comics. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBU_vcqQShI
Thank you so much codmcomics for your passion 
and for wanting to share the comics with an audience outside of the game! If you would like to support this player and anything additional creatives they may do, then look no further than these social channels:

New Functional Weapons
Two new functional weapons are landing in Call of Duty: Mobile in S11 and with one available right now and the other releasing later in the season via a Seasonal Challenge! First, the new light machine gun.
PKM - LMG
The PKM joins the ever-growing family of LMGs in CODM and offers a different take than the rest with its mixture of advantages and disadvantages. With the PKM you are unlikely to be able to quickly react to someone surprising you in close combat other than by crossing your fingers, spraying, and hoping hip-fire carries you through. However, it makes up for that with long-range capabilities and a reliability that other LMGs may lack.
Like all weapons it can change quite a bit thanks to Gunsmith and attachments, so it is possible to tinker the PKM to a few different playstyles. Regardless, you can try out the PKM right now through the Battle Pass (free or paid). On the free side you can snag it at tier 21 and if you want to jump in with style pick up the Epic PKM – Boru at Tier 50.
D13 Sector – Launcher
Another unusual weapon joins Season 11 – a launcher! The D13 sector is a launcher that is powerful and capable of taking out enemies through a unique disc that can ricochet across the environment. This weapon packs a punch and can easily one-shot enemies, but it is slow to reload, doesn’t carry much ammo, and is extremely hard to use at long range.
With all of that said, we are looking forward to inevitably seeing some insane trick shots with this! Grab it later in the season via a Seasonal Challenge – Disc of Doom releasing on 12/22 UTC or through an unannounced lucky draw releasing at the end of December.
MP Mode - Snowball Scuffle
The maps of this season are covered in icicles, frozen surfaces, and plenty of fresh snow ready to be turned into snowballs. In about a week, on 12/22 UTC, you’ll be able to throw the serious military aesthetic of Call of Duty aside for a moment to engage in an absurd, hilarious, and fun new mode called Snowball Scuffle! Drop your weapons and get ready to deck the halls with tightly packed snowballs in this new mode similar to Kill Confirmed.
Seasonal Challenges
Season 11 brings a batch of new seasonal challenges for you all to complete and earn rewards from! Below we've highlighted the first 3 challenges of Season 11, all available now or launching in the next week, which focus on various aspects of BR or MP and one of which will award you the new Secondary weapon - the D13 Sector. Details below on each of these three challenges:
Royale Specialist
Live in game now, this challenge tests your abilities across Battle Royale.

12 Festive Days of Deals
As you have likely seen in-game or through our social channels, we have sales running in-game in now through the 12 Festive Days of Deals event! Every day a new sale arrives on a crate, bundle, or lucky draw, some of which are returns of old content while others are brand-new. In case you missed it, here are the first three that launched and with some of these offers still available now:
Unlike our previously released Black Friday offers, these sales don’t just last 24 hours for each new offer so you have some time to wait and see what else is coming. Speaking of other deals coming, here are the next three deals with fan-favorite Holiday Draw Redux and Grinch – Wreath Havoc dropping tomorrow!
While some of these offers are specifically themed to the holidays others might be from any previous CODM season and theme, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to find some old favorites. The deals will be running all the way until December 25th (UTC), but make sure to check the in-game store since each day only asts a limited amount of time.
Crueltide Draw
The first draw of the season doesn’t come out until next week but we won’t be able to highlight it before then due to the timing of these updates. However, we’d like to just point out and celebrate the delightfully spot on designs, theming, and ridiculousness of this draw with Reaper – Naughty List and the PKM – Red Nose Revenge leading the draw. Check out this merry one releasing next week on 12/24 UTC.
Support Options
Each season always bring new opportunities for issues, so whether your issue is new or old please make sure to report it through our official channels or even just via community posts. Our teams are regularly monitoring both! Lastly, just a reminder that outside of community channels, which are not great for individual bugs just affecting you (like a purchase error), our two main two official support options are below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
This season’s update notes are rather small since it isn’t a proper in-game update (those come every other season), but nevertheless we still have some balance changes and fixes coming out with Season 11. While this list below isn’t comprehensive of everything that has changed between Season 10 and Season 11, it is a good place to start! Take a look below:
Balance Adjustments
Multiplayer
CBR4
Compared to the popular weapons, the CBR4 is more difficult to control in the current meta. The weapon has a large Get-Hit flinch that negatively impacts the gaming experience. Therefore, we improved the weapon handling for the CBR4.
Base Get-Hit flinch reduced
Recoil adjustment, optimize the abrupt trajectory to the upper right, so that the recoil is more steady when firing continuously.
Kilo Bolt-Action
The Kilo Bolt-Action's base ADS time gives no advantage amongst other shooter rifles, and the disadvantage the ADS time given by the barrel attachments is vigorous. While the gun’s range is not dominant and the overall ADS speed is slow, we have slightly improved the overall ADS speed of the gun.
Base ADS Time: 0.4 -> 0.38
MIP Extended Light Barrel: ADS Time: +10% -> +7%
OWC Ranger Barrel: ADS Time: +15% -> +12%
OWC Marksman Barrel: ADS Time: +15% -> +12%
HS0405
The slow fire rate of HS0405 did not meet anticipated results. Though the single shrapnel has a higher damage benefit, the excessive emission puts the actual combat intensity at a disadvantage. Therefore, the weapon emission is now reduced.
Hipfire Bullet Spread reduced
ADS Bullet Spread reduced
500gr Slug
New effect: Reduce ADS spread
Enhance effect: Damage Range
Scorestreaks - Stealth Chopper
Stealth Chopper’s defense is slightly improved.
**
BUG FIXES**
Battle Royale
R9-0
Fixed an issue where the BR general accuracy bonus did not take effect on R9-0
Hipfire and ADS bullet spread: Compared to MP, reduced by 30%
MISCELLEANOUS
Updated the models of boulders on Hovec Sawmill
That’s it for this surprisingly large community update. We’ll likely be back for one more next week just before the holidays and we hope you enjoy everything that Season 11: Final Snow has to offer! Enjoy, take care, and see you next time @everyone ! 👋

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Discord Community! We are back for the last community update of Season 11: Final Snow and as we are excited to announced that the next season is releasing next week on January 19th at 4 pm PT
! We’ve shared a few teasers for the season over the past week, but the time for teasers is done and now it is time for announcements. Get ready for Season 1: Heist! https://youtu.be/uYzHJXhSSnw
This is the first season of 2022 so that means we are once again resetting both the season numbers but also the Ranked Series. Season 1: Heist is a season full of carefully planned capers, narrow getaways, high-tech urban weaponry, and Lunar New Year themed content! We have a significant amount of new and exciting content coming in that release, including two new maps: **Hacienda **and Nuketown Temple.
First, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the in-game update coming early next week. That update will contain plenty of non-season specific content and changes, like weapon balance, UI updates, settings updates, fixes, improvements, and a new lobby screen. However, everything else is tied to the Season 1 launch on the 19th and of course we’ll have that new content spaced out evenly throughout the season.
Depending on that update timing, we should have another community post early next week just for those patch notes and then you can expect a full release update on the 19th with all of the season’s details. For now, you can find plenty of new info about the season over on our Season 1: Heist Blog: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2022/01/call-of-duty-mobile-season-1-heist-intel-battle-pass.html!
Here is a quick look at the last batch of S11 events, modes, and playlists available:
•01/11 – 02/03 ~ Ferg Bundle
•01/12 – 01/19 ~ Techno-Aim Draw
•01/12 – 01/19 ~ PTFO (MP Playlist)
•**01/14 – 01/19 **~ Adrenaline Spike (MP Event)
•**01/14 – 01/19 **~ Featured Event - Season’s End
•01/14 – 01/19 ~ Fan’s Favorite Map (MP)
•**01/14 – 01/19 **~ BR Isolated Blitz

•01/15 – 02/07 ~ Creator Bundle 3?
•**01/18 – 01/31 **~ Fire Raid Draw
*All Dates UTC
To end the season we have a big mixture of MP modes, featured events, and new store content to round everything out! We’ll highlight much of that upcoming store content below since there won’t be any excuse or reason to cover it in future updates that are focused on Season 1. However, before we get into any of that we must first talk about a new announcement!
Call of Duty: Mobile Creator’s Club
We are thrilled to announce the beta of the Call of Duty: Mobile Creator Club!
The Creator Club is the premiere Call of Duty: Mobile incubator program built to promote and celebrate our awesome community of content creators.
And it’s not just for Ferg 😉! This program is designed to help a variety of our Creators - big and small – to grow and to build up our amazing and diverse group of creators. If chosen to join the Club, you’ll be able to earn COD points, exclusive seasonal sneak peeks, a variety of workshops on how to grow your channel, and access to Call of Duty: Mobile devs!
These rewards will be based around three levels within the program that Creators will be able to progress through - Elite, Master, and Legendary. Elite is for those with relatively new channels, Master for established creators, and Legendary for those creators with well-established communities.
As with any of our games, we will be starting our Creator Club with a beta which will have limited space and only be available for those in the United States and Mexico. If you are not in one of those regions or don’t get accepted right away have no fear! Our plan is to open the program up globally and to more creators once the beta ends.
You’ll be able to apply to the Creator Club on January 31st (PT), so be sure to keep an eye on all of our main social media channels (like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram) for more news and information.
You can find more details as well as an FAQ here - https://www.callofduty.com/mobile/creatorclub
Creator Bundles
For more creator related news this week, we also have our first-ever Content Creator Bundles!! As many of you have already been discussing, our first two bundles have been revealed for Ferg and BobbyPlays, two creators who have been creating Call of Duty: Mobile content since the beginning and with a continuously growing following on their channels.
The first to release earlier this week was the Ferg Bundle, which honors Ferg as one of the most competitive and skilled CODM players out there! It includes an epic operator in his likeness, an epic DR-H – Ferg’s Nuker, Emote – Heart of the Nuke, and more unique items with his theme! Have a quick look at that those items and the bundle: https://youtu.be/Q0VAD-LuzW8
Next up, the BobbyPlays Bundle! As you may know, BobbyPlays has been someone we’ve done many collaborations with through the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championships, through livestreaming events, and through unique content on our owned channels like BobbyTalks. This one released yesterday and similarly has an epic operator in his likeness, the epic weapon GKS weapon blueprint GKS - SMH at my SMG, and much more! Get a glimpse at his bundle below: https://youtu.be/7twD8SX_leA
Last but not least, we have one more Creator Bundle releasing tomorrow! We’ll have a teaser coming out for that soon on our social channels, but you may know this creator for their analytical prowess and for being able to easily break down any play (or weapon). Keep an eye out for that and thank you all for of the honest discussion around these bundles.
We know everyone has their own favorite creator and there is no way to please everyone with a release like this, but we hope that these bundles open the doors to more unique and collaborative content in the future! So, if you want to see more like this in the future make sure to share you discuss them fervently and of course support them in-game.
Seasonal Challenges Recap
There have been six different Seasonal Challenges released throughout this season and with an absolute wealth of Battle Pass XP, camos, and new items up for grabs! These are time limited to Season 11: Final Snow, so make sure to complete them within the next week. Here is a highlight of some of the top challenges from the season and their rewards.
Royale Specialist
This challenge tests your abilities across Battle Royale! You’ll need to fight in high traffic areas of our BR maps, take down vehicles, and survive for extended periods of time. Completing all of these tasks in this challenge will earn you 9,000 Battle Pass XP as well as the rewards below:
•Medic - Greenrock (Uncommon)
•Airborne - Greenrock (Uncommon)
•Arctic .50 - Jubilee (Rare)
•**Special Ops 4 - Firefrost **(Rare)
Disc of Doom
This challenge will test how deadly you can be in Battle Royale! You’ll need to secure airdrops, flex custom weapons, and win to complete all tasks in this challenge. If you complete everything you’ll earn 9,000 Battle Pass XP and the following items:
•Ninja - Greenrock (Uncommon)
•Frame - Chilled Coil Frame
•D13 Sector (New Functional Weapon)
Board of Honor
This seven-part seasonal challenge is the main way to acquire the new tactical weapon – Decoy Grenade. If you haven’t seen this challenge in-game yet, we’ll just quickly say it is all about showing your skill and excellence with scorestreaks in MP matches. Completing all of these tasks will earn you up to 10,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards:
•(Uncommon) Baseball Bat – Green Rock
•(Uncommon) Fennec – Green Rock
•(Rare) Spray – Blood Shot
•(Rare) AS Val – Jubilee
•**Decoy Grenade **(New Tactical Grenade)
New Operator – Sliver
We have many new operators every single season, but we don’t often have NEW operators that haven’t been in the game before in any form. Most of the time, we are making new variants and versions of a pre-existing operator, but Sliver is an entirely brand-new female operator! She joins a long line of stealthy, powerful, and effective covert operators who prefer to strike from the shadows or through the lens of sniper rifle. See Sliver in action below: https://youtu.be/Bcg2Pmo4WV4
She is available via the Dusk Owl Draw, which went live in-game a few days ago, and to help her keep enemies at a distance she has a trusty legendary sniper rifle, the Locus – Electron! The draw is well balanced though and not just focused on long-range weaponry, so you also have the Assault Knife and GKS Heat Extractor weapon blueprints.
Check it all out now and get ready for one more draw, the Fire Raid Draw, to drop right at the end of Season 11 on January 18th! Just for you all, because we love you, here is a first glimpse at that draw’s main operator and weapon:
COD: Mobile - Comics Finale Approaches
First off, we’ve had many questions about this but when we say the “finale” of the comics we are referring to the current storyline, which is about to end! If you’ve been reading the comics in-game this season then you absolutely know why it is nearing an end point and what major events have taken place, but there is still more to come. First, here is a glimpse at our last video covering some of those moments: https://youtu.be/n1q6-qPKHks
That last video came out right before a significant and shocking event occurred, so be sure to head in-game and check out this climatic season of events! You can find the comics within the Battle Pass section through the lobby screen. We have the finale fast approaching and landing on January 15th at 4 pm (PT) ! Keep an eye out for one more video referencing that on January 16th that contains a quick peek at what’s to come in the new comics storyline in Season 1: Heist.
S11 Bugs & Feedback Recap
Every season we have a variety of topics and bugs to work though, and thankfully these season they were rather subdued compared to Season 10. The main reason for that is Season 10 was an “update” season as well where it is accompanied by a major in-game update/patch. This coming Season 1: Heist is also one of those seasons, which means an increased risk for issues, but as you may have noticed we’ve done things a bit more cautiously this time to help reduce potential issues.
Primarily, we’ve done multiple public test builds in all regions of CODM and with some as early as December. Additionally, the Garena, Korea, and Vietnam versions of this update will release in advance of China and Global in order to spot and fix critical issues in advance. With all of that said, here is some of what we’ve been working on and discussing as a part of Season 11!
Bugs – Under Investigation
•Controller Issues – We are still continuously investigating issues related to controllers not working as intended. Please keep reporting these through support channels!
•Tengu - Undead Crusade – Still investigating and working on an issue with missing some VO.
•High Priest of Chaos – Still investigating and working on an issue with missing some VO.
•Velikan – Still investigating and working on an issue with missing some VO.
•Domino – Still investigating and working on an issue with missing some VO.
•Aether Crystal Camo Unlocks – Investigating an issue with the Karambit challenge/progression not unlocking after completing all sniper Aether Crystal camos.
•Profanity Filter Blocking Loadouts – We are an investigating and issue where certain words are blocking loadouts from being saved due to the profanity filter.
•Wrench Exploit – Investigating a Wrench related exploit and hopefully it won’t be long until this is sorted out like all other exploits. Reminder, using exploits like this can lead to enforcement.
•Clan Renaming – We’ve seen some issues with clans not being able to rename their clan and have been investigating them on a case-by-case basis. Please keep reporting this to help us get more data on why this is happening on seemingly rare occasions.
Bugs – Fixed
•Gaz - Broadsword – Fixed an issue with missing VO.
•Hovec Sawmill – Fixed a map exploit.
•General Connection Issues – We saw some specific connection issues affecting Ranked Play last week and only in certain regions. This was fixed and thanks to all who reported it!
•Sniper Aim Assist Changes – This was called out in the public test build and we have confirmed it is a bug, not an intentional change. Should be back to fixed with the S1 release.
Feedback
We don’t have a significant amount of feedback to go over this time around, especially since some of it is a bit irrelevant to discuss right before a new update with new features, new changes, and new content to explore, but we still have some topics to bring up this week! While we know there are many other discussions and topics around, like the never-ending request for the classic zombies mode or the long-term request to rebalance Persistence, we have other more recent topics to bring up:
•Bans Appeals – We often seen ban threads and immediately sympathize with these earnest requests to have the ban investigated and repealed. While we don’t generally do this on an individual basis, we do often keep track of the data behind these bans and when we see fluctuations or spikes we check into everything to make sure it is working as intended.
With that said, while we may not reply to an individual request that request may lead us to questioning a whole wave of bans and subsequently leads to changes, reductions, reversals to those who were hit in that same wave (including the original requester). Of course, in the end nearly all bans we check tend to end up valid.
•Voice Over Adjustments – In the public test builds we saw a few discussions focused around on voice over options being removed. As you all know in these passionate communities, we are always making adjustments to remove unused content to help reduce the size of the game. With these adjustments, we thought we were doing just that with VO options that very few players utilize. However, we are re-discussing that now and may hold on making these changes.
•Free Content in China – First off, we’ve always been impressed by most of the CODM communities by how sympathetic, kind, and considerate you all have been towards your fellow gamers in China. That whole gaming space is far different and with different events, complexities, holidays, and challenges. Thank you for understanding that and for not seeing those differences as competition or “us vs them”, but instead just as something different.
All of that discussion led to many conversations about free vs paid content in different regions, and we’d like to reiterate that all versions of CODM have many different options for excellent free content. Every season consists of Ranked Series rewards, featured events, seasonal challenges, and free BP rewards on top of unique events and rewards that come with something like a holiday. Thank you everyone who made threads, tweets, or posts to share their favorite pieces of free operators or weapons in response to these discussions!
🛠️ Support Options
A new season will be here next time we chat, so just a reminder that if you need any assistance please use the following options below to get assistance with any type of issue. While we regularly look at the community and report bugs that way, there is still a whole team of support agents waiting to help out! The main two official options are below:
•In-game support chat

Final Notes
With these last notes of this update, we say goodbye to the winter warfare of Season 11: Final Snow and look forward to the vineyards of Hacienda, the serene refuge of Nuketown Temple, and some festive additions to the Battle Royale landscape. Here’s another early glimpse at more of what is to come in Season 1: Heist!
Lastly, we’d just like to say this is just the start of another year of fantastic Call of Duty: Mobile content! We have significant plans to bring more unique seasons, content, competitive events, crossovers, and more throughout 2022. Thank you all for being part of these huge and passionate communities, we can’t wait to share more with you throughout the year and we hope you love it all . Take care @everyone and we’ll see you again next week with patch notes and a full a breakdown of the new season’s content!
-The Call of Duty: Mobile Team
spark hazel
Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! We are thrilled, excited, and eager to bring you the first season of Call of Duty: Mobile in 2022 – Season 1: Heist! This season, as you hopefully know, launched yesterday and is available in-game, but make sure you’ve updated your game first since we've had multiple updates come out this week. You'll have to update to see all of the new maps, operators, weapons, and content. First, it wouldn’t be a new seasonal release without a high quality cinematic to help present the theme: https://youtu.be/YtadaEdcM-0
The launch of this season also marks the launch of another season of comics! This is a new and future storyline branching off from the tragic and turbulent events of the last storyline. You may see some references and even operators coming into this new comics storyline later, but for now jump in and read up on a crew of familiar and new Call of Duty operators preparing to setup their own heist!
For the start of this season we have plenty coming at you right away, like the beloved Alcatraz BR map returning, the new Heist mode, new Battle Royale map updates, and of course a new Battle Pass! Let’s jump straight in with the usual calendar events, but if you are looking for some short summaries or in-game update details then jump all the way down to the bottom’s updates notes section.

Additionally, our calendar of events above is meant to give you a bit of a heads up about some of the first Lunar New Year events dropping at the end of January. More details on all of that later on in this community update!
Battle Pass
The Season 1: Heist Battle Pass is all about equipping you with everything you need to execute a successful and well laid out mission! Whether that is new tactical gear like the Storm Ball, new close quarters weapons like the PPSh-41, or some well equipped & highly capable operators like Makarov – Kingfish. Check out the highlights below for both the free and paid sides of the Battle Pass and look no further than the Battle Pass trailer below to see some of those key weapons & operators in action:
Free Battle Pass
•Frag Grenade - Snakepile (tier 1)
•Sticker – Iron Works (tier 8)
•New Tactical – Storm Ball (tier 14)
•QQ9 – Suited Up (Tier 16)
•New Weapon – PPSh-41 (tier 21)
•Heartbeat Sensor - Snakepile (tier 28)
•Spotter - Snakepile (tier 31)
•AS Val – Suited Up (tier 36)
•Helicopter - Snakepile (tier 46)
•Calling Card – Up in Arms (tier 50)
Battle Pass Trailer: https://youtu.be/5Zmc9whEdAo
Premium Pass
•Makarov – Kingfish (tier 1)
•Calling Card – Treasure Trove (tier 1)
•Fennec – Zakhaev’s Executioner (tier 1)
•Man-O-War – Sterling Ace (tier 10)
•Iskra – Whitechapel (tier 12)
•Spray – King of COD (tier 15)
•Rytec AMR – Master Plan (tier 30)
•Ajax – Bouncer (tier 35)
•PKM – Gilded Lion (tier 40)
•PPSh-41 – Pistolet Pro (tier 50)
•Yuri – Bratok (tier 50)
On top of everything else in the pass, there is also a Battle Pass Bundle which comes with the five epic items: Parachute – Full Suit, Karambit – Bad Hand, Frame – Gilded Riches, Avatar – High Stakes, and Calling Card – Love Hurts. You can snag all of those items plus a tier earn-rate boost with that bundle, but this season we also have something a little bit different for players in select regions!
Ground Forces - Battle Pass Subscription
In addition to the above, this season we have a new type of Battle Pass going out in select regions only. The Ground Forces Subscription (AKA Battle Pass Subscription) is possibly a bit self-explanatory if you are already thinking a subscription-based version of the Battle Pass, but it does have quite a bit that is unique about it. Here is a quick list of that content:
•Exclusive rewards, like Manta Ray – Urban Explorer and the HBRa3 – Systematic Beat
•+10% Player XP Earn Rate
•+10% Weapon XP Earn Rate
•3 Times Per Month – 50% Off a X10 Crate Pull
The subscription is slightly more expensive than a normal Battle Pass and with all of those added benefits. It is brand-new in every way, so we’ll be testing it out in limited regions right now, making adjustments, and then in future seasons rolling it out to more and more regions until eventually it is available for all players. Keep an eye out for more on that in the future and if you are in one of the selected regions please make sure to drop some feedback for our designers!
New Tactical – Storm Ball
One new piece of tactical equipment that everyone can get their hands on this season is the Storm Ball, which can be used for a variety of tactics depending on the scenario. This handy device projects a shield, similar to a smoke grenade, that blocks line of sight completely. However, it is more like a futuristic orb or shield that can be entered, fired through, and used defensively or offensively.
For example, in objective based modes with locked locations, like Domination or CTF, Storm Ball can come in clutch by blocking line of sight and providing cover. Of course, no matter what mode in there is nothing more confusing than throwing a ball at your enemy, watching them lose their orientation, and then flanking them or waiting for them to exit the shield. We look forward to seeing some interesting plays with this, so make sure to grab it in the free side of the Battle Pass at Tier 14!
New Functional Weapons
On top of new gear to acquire and master, there are also two new functional weapons are landing in Call of Duty: Mobile in S1 and with one available right now and the other releasing later in the season via a Seasonal Challenge! First, the latest and greatest SMG:
PPSh-41
This classic and often requested weapon from many other Call of Duty titles has made its way to mobile! It is here to contend with the CBR4 as a prime-time spray & pray SMG that can fire out bullets at an alarming speed. That means this weapon is fantastic at close quarters and surprisingly decent at medium range combat as well thanks to some low recoil, less bullet spread compared to the average, and decent bullet damage drop off (compared to other SMGs).
The PPSh-41 can dominate while hip firing despite the wide recoil pattern, but the bullet spread in particular can be tweaked and tightened via Gunsmith and attachments. Similarly, like most weapons you can use attachments to try to push it in different directions, whether you want it to perform well at mid-range ADS or dominate with a mobility build.
You can earn the PPSh-41 right now via the Season 1: Heist Battle Pass, Tier 14 on the free side, or if you want something with a little fire in its veins then you can jump at the legendary variant in the Second Chance Draw (which launches in just under a hour)! That PPSh-41 - Emberwing leaves only ashes in its wake and comes alongside the stylish driver Ether – Getaway. Whatever your preference, you can find that all in-game now!
Kilo 141
While the previous weapon is generally all about close range combat, the Kilo 141 aims to be your new reliable full auto assault rifle that you bring to any map with a lot of mid-range combat options. This weapon can still perform at close range but it is not ideal and at mid-range it is shining example of what scenarios assault rifles are generally made for with 4 shots kills and high headshot damage.
Similar to the PPSh-41, attachments can be used to help make this weapon's magazines last longer, increase overall damage, or make it more suitable surprise close range engagements. The Kilo 141 is not available at launch and but will be releasing later in the season through the Seasonal Challenge – Kilo 141 - Locked & Loaded. Keep an eye out for that one dropping next week and for more information about this new assault rifle through social posts & informative videos!
New Multiplayer Maps
Call of Duty: Mobile is known for being a “best of” Call of Duty content, whether is maps, operators, or weapons. However, what we don’t talk about often is how a fair amount of our new content is actually brand-new to the franchise, like one of the new maps this season – Nuketown Temple! This new variant arrives later in the season and so does Hacienda. Details, screenshots, information on both new maps below!
Nuketown Temple
This new Nuketown is a hidden refuge amongst a high-tech city full of culture, vibrancy, and festivities. Underneath this snow-covered new look full of art, lanterns, and Lunar New Year decorations is the same comforting Nuketown that promises non-stop combat throughout two houses and a viciously contested central cul de sac. You can quickly jump into close quarters combat throughout this map or take to the side corridors to hold down the alleys!
While we know everyone is eager and excited to explore this snow-covered locale, it is not quite ready for the limelight and will be launching as a part of our Lunar New Year festivities coming towards the end of January! Keep an eye out for that and read on for more information (via the Lunar New Year events section) about what kind of events you can enjoy, explore, and celebrate later this season.
Hacienda
Another new Multiplayer map is releasing after Nuketown Temple and it is the lush and lavish vineyard that is Hacienda! This map comes on over from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, where it was a fan favorite thanks to its complex approach to the usual 3-lane structure of maps that meant you always had a way to flank or adjust to your opponent’s strategies.
This huge manor has two floors of close quarters areas to explore surrounding a central courtyard and then two outdoor areas that flank it. Head up, head below, or head around the sides on this large map! It’s hard one to explain due to the many different areas, so thankfully we have a video to help show a little of bit of each area below! Hacienda will be available to explore in early February. https://youtu.be/AdSGXS3Sc3M
Battle Royale Map Updates
One lesser-known part of this update is new additions to both the Blackout and Isolated! Snow has come to Blackout and the Hydro Dam area of the map alongside a mysterious new floating platform that is full of desirable loot but restricts what weapons can be used. There is plenty more hidden throughout this are and other changes to explore though, so get a look at them in this quick introduction: https://youtu.be/iG-DTc3QYEo
On the other side of Battle Royale in Isolated you have some new additions to look forward to in the Ski Town area of the map, including a snowboard challenge that will be available there at the end of January! Most of these additions are available to explore and see right now with the launch of the season, but others won’t be releasing until closer to the start of our Lunar New Year Events.
Heist Mode
This new Multiplayer mode is available right now and brings with it a unique combo of objective based gameplay mixed with team deathmatch. Your team is tasked with collecting gold from safes on the map while also eliminating the other team. Each time your team collects a safe you’ll get 1 point towards a 10-point score limit. Additionally, you’ll also be earning gold (separate from points) to use to purchase weapons at the beginning of each round, similar to our Payout mode.
You can try this new Multiplayer mode out right now and available until 1/27 UTC via the Heist 24/7 Playlist! Make sure to try that out and check in on the It’s a Heist featured event to claim some additional rewards while trying out the mode, like AK-47 – Cityscape and Knife – Hazy Light.
Lunar New Year Events
Another celebration is right around the corner with Lunar New Year coming at the end of January! It is the Year of the Tiger, so get ready to celebrate this holiday through new maps, modes, a lucky draw, and many new featured & themed events!
You’ll be able to earn plenty of Lunar New Year themed rewards through our Winter Wish themed event (the biggest event of Season 1) and much more. We’ll detail this all in far more detail in the next community update, but you can expect to see the following launch towards the end of the month:
•Battle Royale events and challenges
•Lunar New Year Puzzle
•Winter Wish themed event
•Nuketown Temple
•Red Envelope Confirmed (mode and event)
•Year of the Tiger Draw
•The Tiger Pact event (collection style event)
We’ll see you next week for more on that, but as you’ll be able to notice immediately much of the season is a mixture of both the Heist theme and also Lunar New Year. This season is meant to encompass both, so we hope you enjoy this unique mixture of visuals, decorations, and events!
Seasonal Challenges
Season 1: Heist brings another batch of new challenges for you to complete and with a variety of new rewards to earn. As per usual you can get a quick injection of Battle Pass XP through these challenges on top of many new cosmetics, but you can also snag some new functional items later on like the Kilo 141 assault rifle! Details on the first two challenges below and keep an eye out for the Kilo 141 Seasonal Challenge to launch towards the end of January.
Survival Instincts
This six-part seasonal challenge is focused entirely on Battle Royale with six tasks meant to show a general aptitude for this survival-based mode! The tasks range from taking out enemies to just generally using BR Class skills. If you complete all of these tasks you’ll be rewarded with up 12,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards:
•Clown – Artbeat (Uncommon)
•Rewind - Artbeat (Uncommon)
•Spray – Hollow (Rare)
•Scout 2 – Escape Plan (Rare)
Spray and Pray
This six-part seasonal challenge, to keep things balanced with one new MP and one new BR challenge to start the season, is focused entirely around Multiplayer! The tasks ask you to use SMGs, get kills while sliding, and get some wins using the new PPSh-14 (available for free in the Battle Pass). If you complete all of these tasks you’ll be rewarded with 10,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards:
•MW11 - Artbeat (Uncommon)
•Sticker – Juneau Hunting Club (Uncommon)
•Holger 26 – Escape Plan (Rare)
•PP19 Bizon – Escape Plan (Rare)
Ranked Series 1
A new update has released and that means a new Ranked Series is here! Are you ready to take on the challenges of Ranked Multiplayer and Battle Royale Ranked once again? Ranks have reset a little bit, as per usual, and new rewards are available to earn as you climb through the ranks. Similarly, this is the first Ranked Series of 2022 so we’ve also hit reset and started fresh.
For new rewards, you can snag the epic operator **Ruin - Wrecking Ball **in Battle Royale at Grandmaster III and the Calling Card – Wrecking Ball at Master III. In Multiplayer, you can acquire the Epic weapon blueprint CBR4 – Squadmate at Grandmaster III and Katana – K9 Unit at Master V. They both offer a wide variety of other rewards as well, including the new Secret Informat Crate. Check it all out in-game now and get a glimpse at some of those new rewards in the Ranked Series 1 video below: https://youtu.be/8M_SXh8dwvc
Season 1 – New Mythic
It’s a bit early to flat out come out and spill our soul about this new Mythic Drop, but we just wanted to acknowledge that there is one coming on January 28th! It is a far different theme compared to all of the Lunar New Year content and is full of dark, demonic, and dangerous weaponry alongside the return of a fan-favorite operator. You may have seen her already in some of our launch art but get ready for this new Mythic Drop to herald the return of Dame!
Additionally, as a sorry for sharing this update a bit late to this community we'd like to give you one more Mythic Drop teaser! You'll start to see this properly coming out via our social media channels early next week.
🛠️ Support Options
It’s another season so that means new opportunities for issues, so whether your issue is new or old please make sure to report it through our official channels or even just via community posts. Our teams are regularly monitoring both, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to report any issue (big or small) and in the end helps make the game better for everyone.

•Alleviated pick-up failure rate while players are experiencing poor network.
•Enlarged display of the advanced attachments of the spectator.
•The environmental sound effect is optimized while players are in the wild.
•Updated the text prompt when players exit BR.
Gameplay Adjustment

New Function
•Warfare Mode now supports spectate mode.
Map Optimized
•The structure of the Blackout map has been adjusted to optimize overall gaming experience and performance.
•Add areas of snow and ice to Blackout.
New Weapons
Kilo 141
The Kilo 141 is one of the several fully automatic assault rifles with a longer optic to bolster head-shot effectiveness. This weapon gives a modest damage output with an average firing rate and convertible drum magazines.
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is a low-precision SMG with a large drum magazine. Take advantage of this weapon’s hip firing advantage to charge into your enemies!
New Weapon Inspection
New inspection actions are added exclusively for some mythic weapons.
Battle performance optimization:
Muzzle Smoke Effect

**
Balance Adjustments**
**Multiplayer
**
QXR
The QXR is relatively balanced after the previous adjustments, however, there are still other preferred weapon choices that come with better burst, endurance, and continuous outputs. To help QXR gain an upper hand, we have slightly amplified its burst damage in close range. The damage of QXR at 16-25M and mid-to-long firing range are also slightly increased.
Base:
•Increased third-stage range damage: 22-19-16-12 -> 22-19-18-12
I•ncreased the first period of range: 8m -> 10m
AMR
The long reload time of AMR has always been one of its shortcomings. We have shortened the tactical reload and the empty reload time to optimize the overall handling.
Base:
•Tactical reload time: 4s -> 3.4s
•Empty reload time: 5s -> 4.1s
PP19 Bizon
The advantage of PP19 Bizon lies in its long range and reliable TTK. The initial damage of PP19 in close quarters can achieve a lethal outcome, however, TTK appears to be inadequate when confronted. We have increased the damage ratio of PP19 hitting the head and chest in the first quarter range. Two consecutive shots to the head or one shot to the head and two shots to the chest can eliminate the enemy, thereby slightly increasing the upper limit of it.
Base:
First range damage: 26 -> 28
Head damage ratio: 1.2 -> 1.3
Chest damage ratio: 1 -> 1.15
DR-H
As DR-H’s damage scales negatively with its range, a great advantage through precise shooting in the first two quarters of shooting range can be achieved. In the past few adjustments, the bullet spread of DR-H has been reduced to help players better hit the target. However, due to its smaller magazine drum and shorter firing range, other alternative weapons under the same TTK were preferred by players. Therefore, we retain the characteristics of precise hits, slightly increase the distance of close-mid range, and reduce the reload time.
•Range increase in the first segment: 7m -> 9m
•Range increase in the second segment: 13m -> 15m
•Tactical reload time: 2.3s -> 2.1s
•Empty reload time: 2.8s -> 2.5s
D13 Sector
D13 Sector is an intriguing secondary weapon when used in confined areas. We hope that the characteristics of ricocheting discs can bring surprising outcomes to the game.
•Ejection times: 3 -> 4
•Ammunition: 1 -> 2
Scorestreaks
•When using scorestreaks that need to be released by clicking on the mini map, if you cancel the use, you need to wait for a while before you can use the streak bonus again.
•Reduced the cooling time of XS1 Goliath after overheating.
•Advanced the aiming assistance of Hawk X3.
Operator Skills
Increase in Purifier’s firing rate, direct hit damage and number of initial bullets.
Ranked Match Update
Multiplayer
•Solo players will earn extra rank points when queued against premade teams of 4 players. More details can be found in Rank Rewards.
•The new season rank reset rules are slightly adjusted for the top 5000 players. More details can be found in Rank Lobby.
•The rarity of calling cards for top 5000 players are adjusted to legendary starting this season.
•Alleviated pre-made team composition mismatches during matchmaking. Chances of matching up with different team sizes is greatly reduced.
•Matchmaking bands during the start of the season are widened to accommodate for the lack of players in higher ranks. Solo players will be matched against players with similar or lower rank.
•Team Deathmatch/Frontline rank bonuses are now more dependent on personal performance relative to match outcome.
Other System Updates
Loadout Adjustment
Players can now change their loadouts while in queue.
Sensitivity Setting Adjustment
The gyroscope now has separate adjustments for firing sensitivity and normal state sensitivity.
Scope precision now has separate adjustments for the red dot sight and holographic sight to enhance player handling.
Jump Control Update
Added advance control for Jump and Climb in settings. If selected, players will no longer automatically climb by tapping on the jump button. This new option allows players to flick the jump button upwards to climb, which should avoid accidental touches during combat.
Battle Royale Health Settings
The medicine setting for BR health item recommendation, originally activated by default, can be turned off to avoid item switches in user shortcuts.
That's it for this community update! We hope you all enjoy the new season and we will see @everyone next week for more Season 1 news and the start of our Lunar New Year events (including Nuketown Temple)!

Call of Duty: Mobile Creator’s Club
Two weeks ago we announced that the new Creator Club and how it is is the premiere Call of Duty: Mobile incubator program built to promote and celebrate our awesome community of content creators! This program is designed to help a variety of our Creators - big and small – to grow and to build up our amazing and diverse group of creators.
While we won’t have a community update just for the launch of this program, it is just a few days away and if you are based out of the United States or Mexico you’ll be able to apply to the Creator Club on January 31st (PT)! We have the website up now and full of information, and that’s where you’ll be able to apply: https://www.callofduty.com/mobile/creatorclub
If chosen to join the Club, you’ll be able to earn COD points, exclusive seasonal sneak peeks, a variety of workshops on how to grow your channel, and access to Call of Duty: Mobile devs! This launch is essentially a beta of the program, so don’t worry if you don’t get accepted right away. Additionally, we’ll open it up to more regions in the future. Keep an eye on future community updates where we intend to share about any changes or news related to the program in future!
Lunar New Year Events Begin
While we’ve held events for Lunar New Year each year of Call of Duty: Mobile, we’ve never had anything on the scale of what we have in store for you all for The Year of the Tiger! We have a mixture of modes, events, maps, and store offers all available throughout the next week. This section will be dedicated to detailing all of that as much as we can. First, let’s start with something you’ve all been waiting for!
Nuketown Temple Arrives
We are truly thrilled to be able to bring another iteration of Nuketown to you all, with Nuketown Temple being brand-new map not seen before in any Call of Duty title. In this new snow-covered refuge you’ll find lanterns, art, signage, and decorations to help fit that Lunar New Year theme. Behind all of those gorgeous new visuals is the same old and beloved Nuketown that promises that combat is always just a moment away. Get a glimpse at the full map below: https://youtu.be/mD95W6wpovU
While trying out Nuketown Temple via the Nuketown: Year of the Tiger MP Playlist, make sure to check out the similarly themed featured event! That event offers you rewards just for doing normal tasks while playing the map, like getting kills or winning matches. The rewards consist of the M21 EBR - Cityscape and the SMRS - Hazy Light Weapon Blueprints, Calling Card - To the Light, plus credits and Weapon XP.
Tiger Pact
This exchange event is running throughout the entire Season and offers up some of the best rewards available from all LNY events. You can grab various epic items by collecting Tiger Coins from playing Battle Royale. In particular, you can snag the Epic Swordfish - Cool Tiger and the Ice Axe - Cool Tiger Weapon Blueprints. Just head to Featured Events, find Tiger Pact, hit that reminder for the weapon you want to earn first, and start playing any BR match!
❄️ Battle Royale Map Updates & Events❄️
As you have likely already seen, this season came with new map updates to both the Blackout and Isolated! Primarily, you can find an updated Hydro Dam area of Blackout with snow everywhere, a mysterious new floating platform full of loot and arcade machines, and a variety of Lunar New Year themed easter eggs like balloons to shoot down and snowball fights. If you haven’t seen it yourself already, then have a glimpse of some of those new additions: https://youtu.be/uFo2FlauwA8
While many of these events and easter eggs are just purely added for enjoyment, they also are often another way to earn Tiger Coins for the Tiger Pact event. There is plenty going on in Blackout, but you can also find some updates and events over in Isolated. In particular, there is an updated Ski Town, a giant holographic Urban Tracer, and starting on 2/4 there will be a Snowboard Challenge event 🏂 !
Once the event is live, head on over to Ski Town, talk to Urban Tracker, and you’ll get a prompt to start the Snowboard Challenge. Your snowboarding skills will be put to the test as you race down the course while hoping to hit as many CODM logos as possible. By completing the challenge you’ll be entered in a leaderboard and you’ll be given a supply crate to help you take home that win! Here is a quick look at how that event will work and it will run from 2/4 until the end of the season:
Winter Wish Themed Event
As of yesterday our main themed event for the season, Winter Wish, has released and it allows you to uniquely select what rewards you would like to acquire. When you first come to this event page you’ll be asked to select a certain number of rewards from each row (of three rows), with a total 7 rewards selected. These can be anything from epic weapon blueprints to charms.
Once you’ve selected those rewards you’ll be taken to a new page with all seven laid out like you see above. Once there, you can check out various tasks that will reward you with tokens that you can use to unlock those rewards via Wishing. This is fairly similar to a lucky draw in the way the Wish mechanic works, except all tokens for it are earned through tasks and are refreshed daily. Check it out in-game now and start collecting those tokens while playing BR or MP!
Lunar New Year Puzzle (2/4)
If you were around back during our 2nd Anniversary we had a similar event that asked you to complete a puzzle while earning rewards based on how much you’ve completed. Like all nearly all of the other events that are part of Lunar New Year, this one rewards you just for doing regular tasks like logging in, playing in BR, sliding for X amount of time, or other common types you are used to seeing in Seasonal Challenges. For completing all of these, you can earn the following:
(Epic) Death Angel Alice — Laughtrack
(Epic) Calling Card - Laughtrack
(Rare) CR-56 AMAX - Winter Cheer
(Rare) Helicopter - Winter Cheer
(Rare) Thermite - Winter Cheer
Red Envelope Confirmed (1/31 – 2/10)
As you may already expect based on the name, this is a LNY themed version of 10v10 Kill Confirmed that replaces dog tags with red envelopes. Despite the simplicity of that description, there will be some surprises in store to help make it feel fresh Additionally, there are many tasks with Seasonal Challenges, the Lunar New Year Puzzle, and Winter Wish that will can be completed by trying out this new mode. Be sure to try it out when it launches on 1/31 UTC!
Year of the Tiger Draw (02/04 – 02/17)
You’ve seen her in various pieces of art, the login screen, and nearly plastered all of our Season 1: Heist images – Urban Tracker - Pale Prowler is almost here! This new version of the beloved Urban Tracker is decked out in snow cameoed combat armor and equipped with the legendary Arctic .50 - Zodiac Beast. This new draw will be releasing on February 4th UTC and be jam packed with Lunar New Year themed weapons blueprints, camos, emotes, and more!
New Weapon - Kilo 141
The latest assault rifle has arrived in Call of Duty: Mobile and it comes with some strong full auto firepower. However, like all weapons it has its balance in terms of low control, recoil, and a lack of long-range stopping power. It released yesterday with the common version as a part of the** Seasonal Challenge – Kilo 141 - Locked & Loaded**, but if you are looking for something with a lot of graphical flair then look no further than the Mythic version in the Rock & Requiem Mythic Drop.
It’s only been one day but we’ve already many threads, posts, and more discussing different ways to build out this assault rifle. However, if you haven’t tried it out yourself and would like to see a breakdown then look no further than this latest weapon breakdown video: https://youtu.be/Y6ulMJCWRJ4
Rock & Requiem Mythic Drop
The queen of the damned has returned to Call of Duty: Mobile with a fiery new look and a Mythic a weapon at her side. Dame – Shotcaller leads this new Mythic Drop! She was seemingly dead or missing in action after her confrontation with Templar in the comics during Season 8: 2nd Anniversary, but she is back with all of the intelligence, sass, and ferocity she once had. However, now Dame is the leader of a criminal ring and she’s acquired some new tools and weapons to help her with this endeavor.
A demonic weapon has called out to her soul and only Dame was strong enough to be its match – the Mythic Kilo – 141 Demonsong. That new mythic weapon blueprint, like the others before it, has its own unlock tree full of attachments, charms, and death effects once you acquire the weapon. The new drop also comes with a variety of other unique items, like a legendary Molotov and the DL Q33 – Doom.
Find Dame, that new mythic, and all of those other high-quality cosmetics available in-game now as a part of the Rock & Requiem Mythic Drop! Get ready for us to rotate back to a Legendary Operator next season and with someone many of you have frequently asked to see again 😉.
Ground Forces - Battle Pass Subscription
We covered this new subscription in the last community update, but we’ve seen frequent questions and posts about it so we figured we would highlight it once again. First, the basics! This is subscription version of the Battle Pass that comes with a bunch of extra perks for a slightly higher overall price. There will be new rewards each season, which might include items but also benefits like what you see below:
Like many new features, we wanted to be careful about this and have launched it only in select regions during Season 1. We are very relieved we did so since as some of you have noticed there have been a few fun bugs that have surfaced for the BP Subscription already. For instance, BobbyPlays is definitely and unquestionably banned from using this feature ever haha.
Seriously though, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to already leave feedback or report bugs related to the subscription. For all of you asking for it to release in your region, just hang tight as we’ll likely (assuming all goes well) release it to more regions in Season 2. Lastly, for anyone seeking more information about the service or how to unsubscribe please head to our Ground Forces Terms of Use web page: https://www.callofduty.com/mobile/bpsub-terms-of-service
Feedback
We are still monitoring a variety of feedback related specifically to Season 1, with no updates on those just yet, but we also have a few quick responses for some common topics that are not specific to this season.
•Bans- We’ve noticed an increase of ban reports across the community. While we can’t investigate each individual case, when there are these overall noticeable trends, we are able to check in with the security team to make sure everything is going as it should be. Because of the increased ban report trend, we are in conversations with the team to make sure everything is working as it should and are frequently checking reports.
•**Balancing **– While we don’t have any updates (yet) on any new balancing changes, we just want to acknowledge that we are aware of conversations and requests around the Persistence Perk, melee, and K9 Unit.
•Lag – We are continuously investigating any spikes or perceived issues with lag, whether it is something like ‘my lag increased after Season 1 released’ or something like ‘everyone in X region seems to be having issues today’. We have a team regularly monitoring the servers, but we also ping them whenever we see evidence of something unusual or a spike in issues. We are continuously working to improve servers and add new servers to populated areas that are struggling to get a low average ping.
•Mythic Drops Returning – One of the most frequent questions we get is ‘when is X returning’ where X might be a Mythic weapon, Legendary operator, Scorestreak, Operator Skill, or Battle Royale Class. There is a different response for all of those, but recently we’ve seen quite a few questions about Mythics in particular. We are still discussing and looking into different options for returning Mythics, whether it is through For You, Mythic Reduxes, or some new mechanism. Nothing concrete to share yet, but we’ll be sure to call it out once we can.
Bugs
•Incorrect Ranked Text – The Ranked information tab shows that players in the legendary rank are matched with master ranked players, seems to be false. The team is aware and working on a fix.
•Chopper Gunner – We’ve been seeing reports of players getting the Chopper Gunner scorestreak from care packages. The team is looking into it so enjoy the Chopper Gunner while you can! You might be able to use it easier sometime in the future 😉.
•Character Models Changing in BR Lobbies when Equipping Certain Items – We’ve seen a variety of reports abut this and have shared it up with the team. Thanks for reporting them and hopefully it won’t be long until we are able to put out a fix!
•**PPSh-41 Glitching in BR **– Thanks to quick community reports we identified an issue with the Legendary PPSh-41 – Emberwing showing a graphical glitch in BR when switching between third person and ADS. This should be fixed now, so if you are still experiencing this please let us know.
•D13 Sector Damage Issues – We saw a few reports after Season 1 released that the D13 Sector was not inflicting damage when hitting certain parts of enemies. The team is looking into it to get you firing discs again with full lethality in no time!
•**Fennec Verdant Drum Mag **– After the latest update the Drum Mag attachment has magically disappeared. This seems to be unintended. The team is aware and looking into this.
•Apple 2FA Login Issues – At the beginning of the season we saw players signing in through Apple have issues getting into the game. This issue should be resolved now. If you are still having issues logging in with Apple, make sure you have downloaded the latest updated from the app store.
•Coil Wrench Skin – It’s rare for someone to report something being too strong but thank you for doing so! Previously, the Coil Wrench Skin was dealing way far too much damage in BR. This should be now fixed in-game, if you still see this weapon being OP please let us know.
•Ground Force Subscription Bans – We mentioned this earlier jokingly, but it is real and there was a message that went out to some players that they were banned from using this service. The team is aware of this issue and looking into a fix. In the meantime, if you were someone who received that message please go ahead and DM us your UID so we can forward to the team to help them out, thanks!
•Kilo 141 Negative Stats - We've seen clearly not correct stats being displayed for the new Kilo 141 (both the basic and Mythic version). Are negative stats a new part of the game? No, we don't believe they are haha. We are checking into this one and thanks for the screenshots & reports!
Support Options
It’s another season so that means new opportunities for issues, so whether your issue is new or old please make sure to report it through our official channels or even just via community posts. Our teams are regularly monitoring both, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to report any issue (big or small) and in the end helps make the game better for everyone.
Lastly, outside of community channels, which are not great for individual bugs just affecting you (like a COD purchase error or account issues), our two main two official support options are below:

Final Notes
When we set out to write this update we promise it was not meant to be as jam packed as this one, but we apologize for nothing and are thrilled to be able to highlight, discuss, and share so much with you all once again. Next time we come back it will be right around that halfway mark through Season 1, which means we’ll already be close to our first teasers for Season 2.
What are we trying to say with that old piece of art for Blackout? Maybe something, maybe nothing, but also maybe that we have a lot coming up that we can’t wait to share about the future of CODM throughout 2022. That could be new features, new improvements, new collaborations, or of course some amazing seasonal themes. We’ll keep sharing that out through teasers but also through upcoming public test builds and community updates. Keep an eye out for all of that in future updates!
With all of that said, happy Year of the Tiger and Lunar New Year to @everyone out there who celebrates 🥳 ! Even if you don’t celebrate, we hope you enjoy all of the great in-game events, rewards, and theming for this holiday. Take care and see you next time.
-The Call of Duty: Mobile Team
night light
Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community and welcome to the mid-season Community Update for Season 1 – Heist. Hopefully you are enjoying all of the new content this season has to offer as much as we are! At this point in the Season, the majority of content and modes are live which we will touch on below. But before that let’s look ahead to Season 2 -
In case you missed it, we had a couple of Season 2 teasers go live last weekend across our social media pages.
I wonder what was in that box…
If only we could see through all this rain and fog –
Remember that the teasers above tease more than just what maps or weapons may be coming in the next season but also the theme of the Season 😉. More will start dropping this weekend, so keep an eye out for those!
Okay, that’s enough teasing for now. Looking slightly less far ahead, here is a look at what events and content will be launching in our second half of Season 1.
• 2/11 – 2/17 ~ Payout S&D (MP Mode)
• 2/11 – 2/17 ~ Clan Wars 2022 (Event)
• 2/11 – 2/19 ~ Icebreaker 24/7 (MP Map)
• 2/11 – 2/24 ~ Forged Steel Redux

*All dates listed above are UTC
Now, that is enough looking to the future, let’s talk what is in-game right now!
**Seasonal Challenges **
All 5 Seasonal Challenges are now live! Since our Season 1 launch Community Update, we have had three more Seasonal Challenges added to the arsenal, including Finders Keepers, Kilo 141: Locked and Loaded, and Get Gud. We will dive into those three below-

Featured Event: Clan Wars 2022
This featured event, like past Clan War’s events, is all about progressing your Clan in Clan Wars -whether it’s competing in specific modes or teaming up with members of your Clan. In addition to all the points you will be getting for your Clan by completing tasks in this event, you will also be able to earn Clan Credits which can be used in the Clan Wars store. You will also be able to earn:
• MSMC – Cityscape (Rare)

MP Mode - Payout S&D
Payout Search and Destroy returns! A fitting twist on theme with Season One – Payout S&D brings customized kits and the ability to earn gold to purchase weapons and equipment during the match for better odds defending or defusing the bomb.
Forged Steel Draw Redux
Legendary Mace – Final Guard is back and available for purchase in-game now along with his Legendary burst-fire Renetti – Metal Phantom and the rest of the Epic and Legendary items in the initial Forged Steel Draw. It isn’t often we bring back a Legendary Character in a redux draw, but we have been seeing you all ask for another opportunity at getting at them and for Mace – Final Guard specifically! The Forged Steel Draw Redux will be live in-game until 2/24 (UTC).
Feedback
**Balancing **– We see your posts about which melee weapons, operator skills, and perks are OP, and we hear you. Balancing these just right takes time, especially in regard to balancing for both highly skilled players (like most of you reading this) and everyone else. We are always passing this information on to the team to take into consideration.
Sniper Challenge – We saw quite a lot of buzz around the inclusion of Pistols in the BR Sniper Challenge. While intended to highlight snipers and their unique use in BR, it seems like players generally chose the more versatile pistol in this challenge which caused a stir. We’ve relayed this information to the team. While it may not be changed for this exact challenge, it will be considered for future challenges.
Clan Wars – We recently reworked the Clan Wars rewards so you could earn shards of a variety of Clan Wars reward operators rather than just the current bi-seasonal one. We have noticed the your feedback around getting shards for an Operator that is already completed and shared that with the team. We’ll share any news or changes about this in future updates.
**Bans **– We regularly see ban inquiries throughout all community channels and these come in the form of cheater reports, ban inquiries, or ban appeals. Cheater reports we will regularly snag and report up the respective team, but for inquiries and appeals we don’t often jump in on those topics since we can share very little information back. However, we are always willing to double check any bans, especially if they have odd circumstances, like the classic Ferg one from a few weeks ago.
Bugs
Pitch Black Crate – The Pitch Black Crate was briefly giving out the wrong content. This should now be resolved in-game, however if you did purchase the Pitch Black Crate and didn’t get the correct contact please contact our support options listed below.
Weekly Weapon Leaderboard Rewards – We have been seeing reports that the weekly rewards for the weapon leaderboards haven’t been sending properly in Season 1 so far. The team is aware of the issue and is working on getting this resolved.
Hacienda Bots – We – like some of you – noticed bots behaving strangely on the newest MP map Hacienda. Specifically pausing for extended periods of time until being approached by another player. The team is aware of this and is working on a fix.
Legendary QQ9 – Melting Point – Looks like since the Season 1 update on the Legendary QQ9 has lost some of its reactive changes after getting kills in-game. The team is aware and looking into it.
Kilo Bolt-Action – Constable Ironsights – The team is aware that while using ironsights on the Kilo Bolt-Action – Constable Blueprint the view is blocked.
Clan Wars Nodes – We saw some reports the Skilled Battle node in Clan Wars was not tracking. With the node gone it won’t be fixed, but we have alerted the team so if it comes back into rotation it should be resolved.

Feedback Recap
This season we’ve gone over many different topics, some old and familiar while others are newer to this specific season. We won’t bring up the exact ones from last week’s post (other than bans), but here is a recap of other topics we’ve brought up and of course feel free to ask about anything in response to this update. We are always happy to jump in and share info whenever we can.
Bans – This week has seen even more discussion around bans and it has been fairly regular throughout all of Season 1. We’ve been jumping around to various areas in the community to try to help check bans and confirm they are legitimate (or reverse them if they aren’t), and we encourage everyone to reach out to us if you are looking for a simple check like that. Just let us know your UID or username (case sensitive), and we’d be happy to have our security team double check. However, apologies in advance if we miss your request since we are unfortunately not omniscient.
**Lag **– We are continuously investigating any spikes or perceived issues with lag, whether it is something like ‘my lag increased after Season 1 released’ or something like ‘everyone in X region seems to be having issues today’. We have a team regularly monitoring the servers, but we also ping them whenever we see evidence of something unusual or a spike in issues. We are continuously working to improve servers and add new servers to populated areas that are struggling to get a low average ping.
Mythics Returning – Amusingly one of the first topics we had discussed this season was about the frequent requests to have Mythics return. Well, shortly after that we had another Legendary Draw return with the Forged Steel Redux (live in-game right now), but we are also still working on ways to bring new options to the store and to return Mythics. No news yet, but we will share once we can!
Ghost VO – In case you didn’t see it above, this long requested VO is coming back in Season 2 alongside that new Ghost variant! Hopefully everyone who asked, “is Ghost VO coming?” and we responded with an eyes emoji or shrugging gif now understands why we were unwilling to confirm or deny haha.
🛠️ Bugs Recap🛠️

Final Notes
There isn’t much for us to share or communicate for now about Season 1 but thank you all for the support and discussions around our first season of 2022! We have a significant amount planned for this year, including some excellent BR-related content that we’ve seen many players ask about in the past. No hints as to what that is just yet, but you can be rest assured that as soon as we can talk about it we’ll be spilling those details here.
For now, keep an eye on our social channels for Season 2: Task Force 141 news as we’ll keep pumping out new social posts day after day while we inch closer to the S2 launch on 2/24 UTC. One of those new posts will be our usual flythrough focused on the new MP map, Hardhat (as seen above), while for the rest you can expect to see operators, weapons (we snuck one of those images in here just for you all here in Discord 😉 ), BP content, and more!
With that said, take care @everyone and see you next week for the Season 2 release post! 👋
-The Call of Duty: Mobile Team

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community and welcome to the launch of Season 2: Task Force 141! This new counter terrorism themed season is live in-game with a new Battle Pass, new events, new weapons, a new scorestreak, and more. In this accompany updating we have plenty of info about the new season alongside a roadmap of what is still to come, but before we dive into any of that we must first start it all with our Season 2: Official Trailer featuring Cipher & Nikto facing off against the legendary members 
of the One-Four-One: https://youtu.be/ZthldQWZFQk
For the first time ever, we’ve had voice over in one of our main official trailers (like the above) and we are thrilled to be able to work with the talented voice actor, David McCusker, to help bring Cipher to life! We’ll have more featuring this new operator later in the season, particularly closer to Cipher’s release via the Prototype Draw. So, keep an eye out for that!
We are thrilled to be able to bring Ghost and Alex back into a Battle Pass for the first time since 2020 (for either of them). In particular, we have Ghost – Taskforce and Alex – Hardwired. If you didn’t see it, we announced them both last week right before we announced Season 2: Task Force 141.
Before we jump into the update, a quick throwback to talk about the last time we saw Task Force 141 deployed via one of our very first Call of Duty: Mobile seasons – Disavowed. That season dropped in February of 2020 and brought Soap into the game alongside the map Cage, the H.I.V.E. Operator Skill, and one of our first big in-game featured events.
We hope to see more excuses to bring back this beloved squad in the future and with other members not seen here, but enough of looking to past and for now you have a full season’s of content at your fingertips! With that said, let’s jump into the rest of this launch update.
Here is a quick look at all the newest events and others launching throughout the next week:

New Scorestreak – Chopper Gunner
One of the most iconic Scorestreaks in Call of Duty’s history is now in Call of Duty: Mobile. Available at tier 14 in the Season 2 Battle Pass, this Scorestreak is all about dominating from the skies as you board a chopper that has a minigun attached to the side. Working in a fixed loop, you will be able to eliminate highlighted enemies, clear hardpoints, and lock down zones in domination. To learn more about this Scorestreak or to see the Chopper Gunner in action check out the following video: https://youtu.be/EKtJbcDcefw
So get those launchers ready because the Chopper Gunner is live now and acquirable in the Season 2: Tasks Force 141 Battle Pass!

New Functional Weapon – JAK-12
This season comes with a new attachment for the HBRa3, mentioned in the patch notes at the end of this update, but the other main weapon addition is a new shotgun – the JAK-12. This is a relatively fast firing full auto shotgun that is ideally suited with hip fire mobility builds thanks to its stable but wide bullet spread. You can still go with an ADS approach, but you’ll want to get as close to your enemies so you don’t experience damage drop off.
This weapon is available right now via the Season 2: Task Force 141 Battle Pass! You can acquire it at Tier 14 on the free side of the Battle Pass or you could grab the epic variant, JAK-12 – Treecutter, at Tier 50. Additionally, you’ll see some variants of the JAK-12 releasing later in the season! For now, take a look at this new weapon in action below and try it out yourself in-game: https://youtu.be/xT1RbUnBzbI
New Multiplayer Map – Hardhat
Appropriate with the theme of the season, we’ve returned to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) to pull the closer quarters map Hardhat! This classic map features plenty of choke points and tight combat situations. It is perfect for players who love to run high mobility builds with strong close-range weaponry, like SMGs or shotguns, and love to hip-fire.
This map will be dropping one week into this new season on 03/04 (UTC) and will come with a 24/7 playlist and in-game event with rewards to earn while exploring the map. We’ll have a more detailed breakdown, with lane tips and more, closer to release, but for now get an idea of how the map will look with this quick flythrough of Hardhat: https://youtu.be/bR6jgPxA8SM
Season 2 – New Legendary Operator
There have been many recent discussions throughout the community about the return of many beloved operators this season, but it is hard to ignore the legendary leader that has graced many seasons of Call of Duty: Mobile - Captain Price! You’ve seen him in our main trailer and all over our screenshots, art, and more, and that’s because he is our latest Legendary Operator.
A legendary version of Price has been a long-term community request and we are thrilled to be able to bring this fantastic design to you all! Also, in case you don’t know what makes a legendary operator, they are our highest quality operator variants with their own unique cosmetics, like kill counters, visual effects, loading screens, and more. Check back in future community updates for that info and for now enjoy the fantastic art featuring him all over our Season 2 images, trailers, and more.
Support Options
It’s another season so that means new opportunities for issues, so whether your issue is new or old please make sure to report it through our official channels or even just via community posts. Our teams are regularly monitoring both, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to report any issue (big or small) and helps make the game better for everyone.
Lastly, outside of community channels, which are not great for individual bugs just affecting you (like a COD purchase error or account issues), our two main two official support options are below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
This season’s update notes are smaller than those from Season 1 and that’s because it isn’t a full client update with major changes. Those come every other season. A larger update will come alongside S3, with another public test build expected sometime during Season 2 in order to help try out many of those new features, changes, and improvements.
These notes for Season 2 are a mixture of what you’ve already seen above and a few weapon balance changes for some highly popular weapons, like the AK47 and Type25. Check it all out below and remember that some content, like new maps or modes, is not available at season launch but released throughout the season.
Gaz needs to rescue hostages from a ticking time bomb FAST in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 2: Task Force 141! Grab the Outlaw - Crash Course and team up with Alex - Hard Wired, available in the Season 2 Battle Pass. Infiltrate the new multiplayer map Hardhat and call in the new Chopper Gunner scorestreak if things get hairy! Complete daily missions and earn Epic rewards in the Counter Intel themed event! The stakes have never been higher. Play now!
Season 2: “Task Force 141” brings new contents including:
New Map: Hardhat, from Modern Warfare, is officially launched in CODM! Utilize the complexity of the new map to make game changing plays.
New Weapons: Introducing the fully automatic shotgun - JAK-12.
Log in to the game and enjoy the new contents after the update!
Multiplayer
New Map
Hardhat, the classic map of the Modern Warfare series is now available on mobile! This is a small map featuring plenty of choke points and close-quarters combat. Navigate the unfinished buildings, watch for enemies in those pipes, and whatever you do, keep moving; if you don’t hunt them, they’ll hunt you. Don’t lose your focus while fighting through the concrete jungle.
Map Update
Standoff
-Fixed the abnormality experienced when jumping over the fence on the second floor of the bakery in Standoff.
New Scorestreak
Chopper Gunner
-Decimate your enemies from above with the latest scorestreak! Chopper Gunner gives you manual control of a powerful gunner seat aboard a combat ready helicopter. This new scorestreak will be available via the Season 2 Battle Pass.
New Weapons
JAK-12
-The JAK-12 is a fully automatic shotgun capable of providing melee suppression for a short period of time. This extremely fast firing shotgun is capable of high damage bursts that will down any enemy unlucky enough to be caught in your path, however you’ll have to contend with high recoil and need to be at close range to take full advantage of its unique firepower.
New attachment: Thunder Sling
-Added signature attachment for HBRA3, providing stability and ADS speed bonuses.
Balance Adjustment
Multiplayer
AK47
AK47 has always been one of the slow-firing rifles. However, using AK47 to eliminate enemies within three shots has been hard to achieve in comparison to ASM10 and Man-O-War. Players suffer a higher penalty when shots are missed, leaving them unsatisfied with AK47's performance in MP mode.
Therefore, we have made an adjustment by increasing the damage of shots hit in the chest and upper arm area. This adjustment will increase the margin of error in the first range segment when players are looking to eliminate opponents within three shots. The adjustment should also strengthen lethal shots on injured opponents in medium and long combat distance.
Since AK47 5.45 Caliber Ammo has a shorter firing range in comparison with other mainstream rifles, we have slightly increased the firing range and the capacity of 5.45 Caliber Ammo. AK47 also shows a low-cost efficiency with accessories due to its strong recoil. We have decreased the recoil of the rifle.
Base:
•Increased damage multiplier of hitting chest and upper arm area
5.45 Caliber Ammo:
•Reduced recoil
•Increased damage range
•Increased ammo capacity
HBRA3
Hitting an accurate shot with HBRA3 did not provide our players a sense of thrilling reward. Therefore, we have increased the damage of headshots and hitting the abdomen area in the second range segment to allow the possibility of eliminating an opponent with four shots. In addition, the range of firearms is slightly increased to adapt to the current mainstream rifle range.
•Increased damage multiplier of hitting head
•Increased damage multiplier of hitting chest and abdomen
•Increased damage range
•Increased reload speed
•New attachment: Gun Belt
•Reduce sprint-to-fire lag, improved the control handling of horizontal and vertical recoil
Kilo141
Reduced the range of basic recoil changes so that it can play its due TTK advantage at medium and long distances.
Peacekeeper MKII
The horizontal recoil of Peacekeeper MKII has been difficult to control. It has not been suitable for medium-distance combat even when it is equipped with stabilizers.
Base:
•Improved the horizontal recoil animation to achieve a smoother handling.
•Reduced horizontal recoil
AKS74U
The AKS74U is an overall comprehensive weapon. It has good mobility, endurance, and stability. However, its prolonged TTK range puts it in a disadvantage during close combat. Therefore, we have lengthened its shooting range in the first segment to better help with its close-range combat ability.
AK117
Players are restricted to position in corners or behind doors while using AK117 due to its short firing range. Therefore, we have increased its shooting range in the first segment to allow more combat scenarios.
Type25
The Type25 has revitalized the use of close-range rifles and exceeded expectations since the buff from several updates ago. However, its smooth trajectory and fast reload time has created a dominance in long-distance combat, making it supreme in all combat ranges.
Therefore, we increased its hit flinch, slightly increased its bullet spread and reload time, and adjusted the negative effects of the 42/46 magazine.
•Increased base hit flinch
•Increased base bullet spread
•Increased base reload time
42 Round Fast Reload:
•Increased ADS time
•Increased reload time
•Reduced ADS movement speed
46 Round Extended Mag:
•Increased ADS time
•Reduced ADS movement speed
AMR
With particular ammunition, this heavy-duty sniper rifle can perform a single lethal shot. Based on our observation, preventing these particular ammunition from penetrating walls has effectively balanced out the strength of AMR. We have slightly increased the range of the firearm to enhance its strength in MP mode.
•Increased base damage range
•MIP Light Barrel (Short): increased the damage range
NA45
The short lock time of NA45 leaves little room for opponents to react. It requires opponents to counter by acquiring protective gear. Therefore, we’ve slightly increased the duration of NA45’s lock time in order to give opponents more time to react in combat.
Base
•Reduced explosion range
•Increased the lock time
Light Trigger
•Increased the lock time
(The above adjustments do not apply to NA45 in Undead Siege)
NA45 adjustments in Undead Siege
In Undead Siege, we wish for players to focus this powerful weapon on their common enemy - Zombies!
•Greatly increased the explosion damage on zombies
•Greatly reduced the explosion damage on players
Battle Royale
Hacker Class
•Reduced the time needed to clear out distractions.
See @everyone for the next update and enjoy the new season! Let us know your thoughts about anything and everything related tot Season 2: Task Force 141 .

📣 Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Discord Community! We had a slightly longer break than normal between updates but that’s because we are today with a new public test build ready to be explored! This new test build is focused primarily on the next two seasons (mostly Season 3) and is jam-packed with changes, improvements, and new content to test.
We have one specific new and unannounced new feature/mode here that we would love to get plenty of feedback on, so please help explore the ins & outs of that feature – Quick Battle. That isn’t the final name of it and purely just for testing, but you’ll see it in-game and be able to check out some aspects of this new feature. Anyways, here is our usual info and download links:
Here are all of the public test build details below:
•Begins today on March 9th UTC
•Test end date TBD, but will likely last about one week
Available for Android Devices & iOS Devices
As per usual, everything you see in the build may not be final, may be buggy, may have placeholder art or text, or may be different from what eventually releases. Sometimes content we are testing is for the next season or it could potentially be for two seasons from now. However, here are a few changes, improvements, and new pieces of content you can look forward to trying out in this build:
•New changes to the TDM/FTL Player Ranking Rules

•New Map: Satellite
•Updated Mode: Search & Destroy ECO

Just another reminder as well that this content is by no means representative of everything coming to the next release. We specifically curate what is going into these builds and are trying to get feedback or in-game data on specific features, changes, optimizations, and content. Please make sure to use the in-game survey function to report your feedback or any bugs.
While the post today is meant to be mostly about the Public Test Build, we do still have a few small pieces of regular community update related content for Season 2: Task Force 141 to cover! However, before we jump into all of that, we’d just like to briefly say we are continuing to monitor the issue related to the deletion of some CODM accounts and have taken additional steps to manage requests and improve our processes. As always, please make sure to never share your Player ID or other private account information publicly.
Here is a quick look at all the newest events and others launching throughout the next week:
•03/07 – 03/12 ~ Pistols, Sticks and Snipers (MP Modes)
•03/07 – 03/12 ~ Cranked Recharged (MP Mode)
•03/10 ~ Seasonal Challenge – Maximum Efficiency
•03/11 – 03/17 ~ King + Pine 24/7 (MP Maps)
•03/11 – 03/17 ~ Best of TDM (MP Modes)
•03/11 – 03/30 ~ Tank Battle (BR - Isolated)
*All Dates UTC
Since our last update we’ve had Hardhat available to explore and fight through, the return of Alcatraz for Battle Royale, and of course the Counter Intel Themed Event. In particular, we didn’t get to talk about Counter Intel before it released but we’ve been eagerly absorbing all discussions related to this latest event, especially any related to bugs, suggestions, and balance related concerns.
Whenever we have one of these main themed events, one per season, we are always looking for unique and fun ways to help highlight them. This time for Counter Intel, our teams were able to put together another high-quality cinematic video that highlights Price, Cipher, and Ghost in a fierce close quarters battle that takes place on Hardhat! In case you missed it last week, here is that video and thanks to the general community for so much support for these types of videos: https://youtu.be/B0wR32LDez8
Seasonal Challenge - Maximum Efficiency (March 10th)
The third Seasonal Challenge of Season 2 is all about MP Ranked play. Whether you’re using Operator Skills or running and gunning with an SMG, the tasks in Maximum Efficiency will have you playing and winning (hopefully) against the best of the best in Ranked. Completing all the Challenges tasks will grant you 11,000 Battle Pass XP and the following:
•Concussion Grenade – Cuffs (Uncommon)
•LK24 – Winged Smoke (Uncommon)
•RUS-79U – Long Bite (Rare)
•HBRa3 – Long Bite (Rare)
•Calling Card – Night Life (Rare)
Legendary Price – Clean House Draw
When we started doing legendary operator variants the top two requests we received were for legendary variants of Ghost and Price. We had the legendary operator Ghost – Retribution back in 2021 and now we have Price – Counter-Terror releasing soon! This legendary variant of Price comes with his own unique cosmetic effects and cosmetics:
On top of all of those unique cosmetics that come exclusively with Price’s new variant, the Clean House Draw also comes with a variety of high-quality items, like the Flash Drone – Counter Attack, the QQ9 – ATU Banisher, Tank – Counter Track, and the J358 – Heavy Handed. All of these items, and Price, will be available soon on top of a new emote, calling card, and more. Check it all out in-game on 3/11 UTC via the Call of Duty: Mobile store.
For our last section of this update we’d like to highlight someone we’ve seen share unique and interesting creative multiple times in Call of Duty: Mobile communities. This time around their animated creation that caught our eye was all about the map Nuketown and over 30,000 people also found it to be worthy of praise. Here is **Mierdinsky’s **pixel version of Nuketown:
We were very impressed with not only the attention to detail but also just how fun, colorful, and unique this creation felt. Call of Duty doesn’t lend itself easily to the Pixel art style, but Mierdinsky made it work well! Of course, we just shared a static image pulled from the actual animation which is far more impressive and can be found on their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mierdinsky/
Thank you Mierdinsky for your creative vision and art and thank you to the rest of the community for broadly accepting, supporting, and sharing great fan crafted creations like this .
One last topic to bring up today and we are off by just a few hours at this point, but it is International Women's Day! To all women out there, today and every day we celebrate your achievements, empowerment, your bravery and aim for equality. Additionally, we are thrilled to have such a wide array of female operators in Call of Duty: Mobile thanks to the continual and widespread support for women operators.
That’s it for this community update and we hope you all appreciate the glimpse into Season 3 (and beyond) in today’s public test build. Take care everyone and see @everyone in the next update 
!

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Discord Community ! We are back with another update and primarily focused on news and feedback around Season 2, Season 3, and of course around the just announced Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2022. First though, an update about account security:
We continue to monitor the issue related to some CODM account deletions and have taken additional steps to both prevent unauthorized deletions and improve our processes in order to further increase account security. Player IDs are no longer visible in the game settings, which provides even more protection to players that choose to stream. In addition, we’ve added a new account field that is hidden within a player’s settings, and only viewable to that player, which will soon be needed when submitting a request using Player ID on our legally required Privacy & Data Protection Portal. As always, please make sure to never share your Player ID or other private account information publicly.
In other news, we shared some of our first looks at Season 3 content earlier this week and once again had a lot of people giving spot on guesses as to what the below weapon is. Of course, if you were in the Public Test Build you already have seen both and much more from the season, but we per usual we’ll blissfully ignore that fact and carry on with these hints at what’s to come 😉. First, a new weapon!
The second piece we shared presented a new Multiplayer map with a retro look . This map will be for small teams and with full of different options for all ranges. We’ll have more on this MP map closer to the release of the new season, but get your first glimpse 👀 in this video: https://youtu.be/j528OBFCXGM
For the rest of the update today we have a few primary topics to cover and a new poll (out now in #community-polls ) we are putting out there to gather some direct feedback! You can find info on that poll at the very end of this post, but for now let’s jump straight into the calendar.
Here is a quick look at all the newest events and others launching throughout the next week:
•03/11 – 03/30 ~ Tank Battle (BR - Isolated)
Holi Bundle & Holiday
Another holiday has arrived and one full of life and love - Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors! This holiday is mostly celebrated in India (although it is known all around the world) and to help celebrate it we’ve created a unique new video!
This animated video features Scout, Ghost, and other operators alongside a remixed, Bollywood-style version of the classic and beloved original Call of Duty: Mobile theme song. The remixed theme was produced by the talented Anshuman Sharma. Take a look and enjoy: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbJszcMBAVy/
n-game you can also find ways to engage with Holi content, like the Festival of Colors Bundle and Celebration of Colors Event. First up, you can snag some in-game loot via the Celebration of Colors Event , which will be running until 3/24 (UTC) and simply asks you to login or play matches. For completing those tasks you can snag the Thumper - Gulal and Backpack - Gulal camos.
Lastly, the Festival of Colors Bundle is available via the in-game store with a variety of cosmetics all decked out in the Holi themed** Gulal camo**! The bundle is available in all regions, but the price will vary per region. That’s normal procedure since each region has different store prices depending on their currency, but we wanted to call that out due to some questions we saw around this bundle.
We hope you enjoy all things related to the Festival of Colors and Happy Holi to all who celebrate 🎉 !
Undead Siege’s Future
We have so much exciting content planned for Call of Duty: Mobile in the rest of 2022 and beyond, but one thing we’ve haven’t talked much about is the Undead Siege mode. We’ve had a lot of questions about its future, and unfortunately we don’t currently plan to create any more content for the mode.
While it had a lot of initial participation and excitement, interest and engagement waned even after additional updates were released. As with all game development teams, we regularly have to prioritize resources, which in this case will be reallocated elsewhere to create new content.
With that in mind, we are excited to announce that in this case those resources are going to be used to create unique Battle Royale content. You’ll see a first glimpse at that visually engaging content later in Season 4! Once you can try that out directly, we hope you all will agree that new content is worthwhile and engaging.
For now, in the upcoming Season 3 release, Undead Siege will be removed from the featured mode area and be placed into events. It will still be accessible for quite some time, at least for a full season, while we decide how to rotate it out. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this mode and if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know!
World Championship 2022
You’ve been asking for news about our competitive events this year and earlier this week we happily announced that the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2022 is almost here! This new and massive competitive event will be following a similar path to the last two years “Stages” approach, with Stage 1 starting on 3/31 UTC. Before we go into details, here is the announce trailer: https://youtu.be/gGR_xHIg17Q
We have the largest to date CODM event prize pool up for grabs and this year you can represent your region along the way with region-specific weapon camos, and two Epic operators - Charly - Local Legend and Zero - Main Event. You can learn more about the rewards on the CODM Esports Website: https://www.callofduty.com/mobile/esports . Additionally, we have a whole roadmap of the year to come already available there.
This year we have a variety of firsts, whether it is that roadmap or various new ways to communicate about all things related to the championship. We started that off earlier this week with an Esports Update post on top of the trailer, website update, and roadmap. We’ll be pushing these Esports Updates out regularly throughout the competitive season and here is the first one in case you missed the other post in #esports-news :
Since we are trying these new approaches, we are eager for feedback about all of it. So please let us know if you have any questions we haven’t covered, how you feel about these Esports posts, and if there is anything else you would like to see communicated throughout the season.
Final Notes
The last thing we’d like to mention in this update is Season 2: Task Force 141 feedback! These polls are already up and live in the #community-polls section of this community! They are are all focused on draws, the seasonal theme, and seasonal content. Our teams are looking to better understand how you feel about the season and would love to get your insight. We are appreciative of any feedback on that front and thank you to anyone who takes the time to respond!
With that said, that’s the end of this relatively short community update but we’ll back next week with more Season 3 news and a recap of everything Season 2. See @everyone then, have a great weekend, and once again Happy Holi to all who celebrate!

Accompanying Nikto – Urban Occult will be the Legendary PP19 – Homebrewed Hex which can turn your enemies into a fiery explosion with its unique death effect. Keep an eye out on our social pages for the full trailer next week!
Final Notes
While we don’t have many callouts on the bug and feedback sections this week, mainly because we are about to release a new update that will generate plenty of new conversations on both those fronts, we do still have just a few more topics to quickly bring up. First up:
Balancing
As anyone who played the last Public Test Build has seen, we intend to make quite a few changes in the coming update. First and foremost, three public offenders are being adjusted: Trapmaster, the Katana, and the K9 Unit. You’ll be able to see the exact changes to each in the patch notes dropping alongside the update, but to quickly summarize they are all being nerfed.
Additionally, we know Persistence is the most frequently asked about balance change and we are currently discussing different options to help address that feedback. Those changes won’t be in the next update, but we’ll be sure to call them out as soon as we know when and thanks for the continuous feedback about all of these.
Creator Club Update
Just a quick note here to say a heartfelt thank you to the huge number of applicants who applied to brand-new Creator Club program! We are nearing the end of our review process and are working on figuring exactly who (and how many) creators will be let in with this first batch. Just to reiterate, if you don’t get accepted please do apply again later since this is an ongoing and new program where we will be accepting applicants in multiple waves.
📊 Community Polls
Last week we put out a call in all the largest community areas to ask about how you felt about Season 2 and many thousands of you answered! We are going through that feedback now and we just wanted to say thank you to every single person who took the time to answer through any of those questions 🫂 . Hopefully your eager participation will allow for us to do more of these polls (for various topics) in the future.
🛠️ Big Deal Purchasing Bug
We are aware and working on an issue with the Reinforced Soldier Crate + CP offer. This deal/offer should be removed while we work on this, but if you have already tried to purchase and ran into the error then please reach out to our Player Support channels via the in-game chat. Thank you to the many players who reported this one!
🆕 Season 3 New to Multiplayer
We’ll have a lot more on this next week, but we wanted to give a teaser to some of what we are changing and improving in the next update. One major new change is the new Practice Range that will allow you to spawn bots, customize their parameters (number of them, behavior, etc.), and then let them loose for you to practice on. Additionally, you’ll be able to spawn, equip, and try any weapon or weapon blueprint in the Practice Range.
In Multiplayer matches in particular, there are going to be many new changes to UI, graphics, and customizations. You have some new HUD customization options to tinker with and you’ll likely notice visual animation updates to MP Medals, changes to the MVP highlight, and Scorestreak UI changes.
With that said, that’s the end of this final Season 2 community update, but you’ll see a new post from us again soon when we launch Season 3: Radical Raid on March 30th at 5 pm (PT)! Get ready for that delightful, imaginative, and retro season to arrive with new weapons, maps, operators, and a huge array of improvements. See @everyone then and take care!

New Operator Skill – Reactor Core
Originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Reactor Core is now available as an Operator Skill in Call of Duty: Mobile! Available for free at tier 14 in the Season 3 Battle Pass, this Operator Skill can be used tactically in both MP and BR. Use this Skill to emit radiation, damage enemies and even prevent them from healing, but be careful, because while you do get a defensive buff while using Reactor Core if you use it for too long you will start to take damage. To learn more details about this new Operator Skill and how you can use it to get a W, check out the following video – https://youtu.be/RWfuiRUE0yU
New Functional Weapon – Mac-10
This season comes with a new attachment for the AK-47, mentioned in the patch notes at the end of this update, but the other main weapon addition is a new SMG – the MAC-10. Small and built for speed this SMG will have you running and gunning in MP and BR. It is ideal for close-range encounters because of its high fire rate and extremely strong mobility, but like any gun in CODM, you can adjust it to fit your playing style with its variety of attachments.
The MAC-10 is available right now in the Season 3: Radical Raid Battle Pass! You can earn it at Tier 14 on the free side of the Battle Pass or you can get the epic variant, MAC-10 – Banana Blaster, at Tier 50. And if you keep your eye out you’ll be seeing some more variants of the MAC-10 releasing later in the season! For some suggested builds and more details on the weapon check out the MAC-10 video below! https://youtu.be/ODm5_cfxvTg
Multiplayer Updates
As a part of the update that released earlier this week we’ve had a variety of changes, optimizations, and improvements come to Multiplayer in particular. Those are broken down into two sections:
Practice Range Update
The Practice Range has been updated and with significant new ways to test out weapons! First and foremost, you can now access and try out any weapon (blueprints too) from the Practice Range. You can test those weapons on bots now as well through the new Command Panel menu.
The whole point of this update is to help you feel better informed about how weapons not only handle but also perform against actual enemies in a match. You can access the new stats menu (Player Data Panel) to see how your weapon setup is faring against the bots and you can easily customize the bots to help test out different ranges and real situations. See it in action below: https://youtu.be/8LuHmvR5gRM
Other Updates
On top of the Practice Range you can also try out new changes that might not be as immediately visible – like UI updates, a new Scorestreaks point system, more HUD options, MVP Highlight improvements, updated Medals effects & graphics, and score visual updates. For more info on those changes and more, look no further than the Updates Notes section at the end of this post!
Trap Master BR Class Revamp
This Battle Royale Class has always been a hot topic in relation to balance and with this new revamp we’ve tried to change it into a different type of class. The old Trap Master abilities were generally used offensively (or defensively) and could deal significant damage to an enemy, which many players often felt was too strong.
With this new revamp, Trap Master has become more of a support class that can boost your allies while hindering your enemies enough to make them vulnerable to an attack. The two main abilities are:
•Electric Trip Wire
Don’t let the name fool you, this Trip Wire has transformed into a Trip Mine with a proximity sensor. It now slows and hurts enemies who pass it through, but generally not to a lethal point.
•Territorial Effect
This new passive effect helps boost your allies when the Trip Wire goes off near them. They will receive a boost to movement speed and their BR Class skill recharge.
Check it out the new class and its changes in our this short video: https://youtu.be/ALT2jLlw5hs
New Multiplayer Map – Miami Strike
Suns out, guns out! Fitting into the theme of the Season, the newest map coming to Call of Duty: Mobile is Miami Strike. Originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, this smaller map is filled with hotels, alleys, and streets to battle your enemies. This map is a classic three-lane structure map with three large buildings in the center of the map. In the middle of it all is the Back Alley which will surely be the key to dominating on this map.
You can play this map now in the Miami Strike 24/7 playlist and in the featured event Miami Strike where you can earn various rewards while strutting your stuff by the beach. We’ll have a more detailed breakdown, with lane tips and more, coming out soon so keep an eye out on our YouTube channel for that!
Seasonal Challenges
Season 3: Radical Raid brings another set of challenges for you to complete and earn rewards along the way. There will be five challenges in total for the season and you can find details on the first three challenges below!

🏆 Esports Update – World Championship 2022 🏆
We wanted to share our second Esports update within this Community Update, this one centered on the Call of Duty: Mobile Esports Settings and the World Championship format.
Our goal is to make the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2022 the best it has ever been! We plan to update and upgrade every stage of the tournament.
To keep the tournament fresh, we are making the following changes to the Esports Settings:
•Replacing Domination with Control as the new third game mode in the Esports Pool
•Rotating in Slums and Hacienda to the Esports Map Pool
•Updating the Restrictions list in accordance with feedback
•Applying a three-week cooldown restriction to all new content
Additionally, we are making the following changes to the formats of each Stage of the World Championship
•Stages 1 and 2 will now provide more points to higher ranked players
•Stages 3 and 4 will use a Best of Five format. Stage 5 will use a Best of Seven format and the Winner’s Bracket team will have a map advantage
•Stages 4 and 5 will use a Swiss Group stage instead of Round Robin
We want to continue keeping Call of Duty: Mobile Esports fresh and fostering top-tier competition. We believe these changes to the Esports Settings and the format of the World Championship will further drive us in that direction.

Support Options
It’s another season so that means new opportunities for issues, so whether your issue is new or old please make sure to report it through our official channels or even just via community posts. Our teams are regularly monitoring both, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to report any issue (big or small) and helps make the game better for everyone.
Lastly, outside of community channels, which are not great for individual bugs just affecting you, our two main two official support options are below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
On top of all of the updates listed changes below, many of which are balance focused, there are still others on the way in future updates. For example, the long-awaited Persistence Perk balance adjustments are not quite ready for this release, but we are still working on it as well as adjusting the Disable Perk!
We have also removed the recent changes with Scorestreaks and scoring in MP (listed below in the update notes) and reverted to the previous scoring system. We'll continue to work on this and will return with an improved version. Thank you for all the quick, detailed, and clear feedback on this change.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more discussions, feedback, and bug reports around the new update. Without further ado, here are the full patch notes.

**Miami Strike 🏖️ **
Welcome to the East Coast! Miami Strike, a map from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, is available now. Get your gears and join our raid across the South Beach. Soldiers, are you ready for a fast-paced challenge?
New Operator Skill
Reactor Core
Watch out! This new operator skill might be too hot to handle. The Reactor Core radiates and burns surrounding enemies. Using the Reactor Core for a period of time will increase players’ resistance to enemies’ damage and reduce enemies’ max HP. However, the Reactor Core can also backfire, causing players to receive radiation damage after continuous use.
Practice Range Updates
Environment Update: The light and shadow effect received an upgrade, buildings located in a far distance are added to increase maximum shooting range to 60m.
Gameplay Updates:
A new Command Panel has been added to allow players to customize parameters of the training ground.
The new Command Panel supports target practice. Players can spawn training soldiers and customize their distance, movement speed, interactions, and the direction they’re facing in the practice range.
A Player Data Panel has been added in game to help players track their performance, such as hit rate, damage dealt, destruction time, and etc. Players may choose to open or hide the Player Data Panel during their match.
A Weapon Trial feature is added where players can try out unlocked weapons and attachments. In addition, the UI performance of the training ground backpack has been upgraded.
Match Updates:
•Player performance algorithm is updated in consideration of wide matchmaking band matches.
•The number of pre-made teams is reduced to one per game.
•A new ranking algorithm in FTL/TDM is implemented. Player's ranking used to be calculated based on total kill scores, now it is based on the player’s K/D spread, kills, and assist scores.
•The MVP scoring rules of the Ranked FTL mode is updated. The player’s K/D spread outweighs their ranking in the calculation of MVP.
•5 New Medals with different difficulty levels have been added.
Function Optimization:
•The customization interface of MP Mode is updated where a button for simplified HUD and scoreboard interface are added. Players can switch to the simplified HUD and won’t lose the original HUD interface.
•Currently, the simplified HUD supports core mode and some modes with special HUD, such as One Shot One Kill. The Simplified HUD will continue to be optimized and updated in subsequent releases.
•The MVP highlight is updated where the MVP player’s weapon master level and medals are shown. A “Like” button is also added for players to interact.

•A new equipment recommendation page has been added to the Payout S&D mode to enhance the gun buying experience.

•Refined the display of different types of protection points when ranked matches are settled.
Battle Royale
Match Updates
Trap Master Rework:
Before the rework, Trap Master’s triggering range displays as a straight line, making it difficult to use in outdoor combat. Once the trap is triggered it deals damage immediately, leaving the players with lack of counterplay.
After the rework, the Trap Master’s triggering range now displays as a sphere. Enemies entering the sphere will be slowed. Being inside the sphere for a period of time will trigger the trap causing it to deal explosive damage. Players can disassemble the trap to cancel movement debuff and prevent the explosion.
Blackout Item Refresh Optimization:
Item pickup is updated in some Blackout towns:
Created more item pickup opportunities for players by increasing the amount of resources in each item refresh.
Enhanced players’ search experience by creating a more even distribution of resources in the map.
Other Updates:
● You may now choose to enter both Blackout and Isolated maps simultaneously.
● New esports-themed seasons and rewards are available.
● The position of interaction buttons for class machine, shopping machine and vehicle machine can are now customizable in the interface setting.
● A new button is added for when players are knocked down and need backup. While calling for help, the visual and sound effects will be played on your teammate's interface on a 15-second cooldown.
● A new button is added where it will notify teammates to scan the dog tag. While scanning the dog tag, visual and sound effects are played on a 15-second cooldown.

● The animation of the seasonal reward display is updated and more noticeable.
● Refine the display of different types of protection points when ranked matches are settled.
● An icon is added to display information on the number of players and approximate game duration of each mode.
New Weapons
MAC-10
The MAC-10 is an SMG with a rapid firing rate and maneuverability. Its simple and reliable structure gives it unparalleled mobility, allowing players to gain an advantage in close combat. The MAC-10 has a lower bullet velocity and accuracy compared to other SMGs, but its continuous combat capabilities can be greatly enhanced when it is equipped with a large-capacity drum.
AK-47: New Signature Attachment
A new signature attachment for AK-47: GRU Combo Grip, is added. This signature attachment will reduce vertical & horizontal recoil and bullet spread, thereby increasing effective range.
Balance Adjustments
Multiplayer
SP-R 208
SP-R 208 is a marksman rifle that has a great field of vision and can destroy the enemy with a single shot even from afar. In some close to medium combat scenarios, it appears to be too fault tolerant. Therefore, we shifted part of the one-shot damage from the abdomen to the hand area. This change requires a higher accuracy for players to take out enemies with one on-hand shot.
Abdominal Damage Multiplier: Decreased
Hand Damage Multiplier: Increased
HVK-30
HVK-30 is an assault rifle that lacks mobility. We have improved its range damage frame and long-range TTK to retain the positioning of medium to long range rifles. HVK-30’s long-range attenuation of large-caliber ammos is also adjusted to improve mobility.
Base:
Range Damage Frame: Adjusted
Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
Large-Caliber Ammos:
Range: Adjusted
Damage: Adjusted
M4
With excellent stability, M4 has been a popular assault rifle that helps new players adapt into the game. However, the actual TTK of M4 performs at an unsatisfactory level for players transitioning into more intense competitive matches. Therefore, we have increased the areas where the M4 deals a high multiplier of damage, and slightly improved its mobility and stability.
Hand Damage Multiplier: Increased
Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
Empty Reload Time: Decreased
ADS Time: Decreased
Bullet Spread: Decreased
Peacekeeper MK2
Peacekeeper MK2 is an assault rifle that requires high mechanics. However, the controls of Peacekeeper MK2 appear to be too difficult, making it hard for players to utilize it. Therefore, previously, we adjusted its recoil and lowered its handling difficulties but it still wasn’t competitive enough. With the additional adjustments in this release, we hope Peacekeeper MK2 can truly reach its maximum potential.
First Range: Increased
Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
FR .556
FR .556’s strong vertical recoil and diminishing damage multiplier to the leg area provide uncertain results when players are calculating damage dealt on eliminating enemies. Therefore, we decreased its vertical recoil and increased its damage multiplier on the leg area to stabilize its performance.
Vertical Recoil: Adjusted
Leg Damage Multiplier: Increased
**
ICR-1**
ICR-1 is an assault rifle with high mobility and stability designed for beginners. However, it has not been as popular of a choice as we anticipated. Therefore, we have strengthened its overall range dominance to allow stable performance within the range advantage of the rifle. We have also appropriately increased the damage multiplier on certain areas to make up for the shortcomings of TTK.
Base Damage: Increased
Shooting Range: Adjusted
Head Damage Multiplier: Increased
JAK-12
Stacking of Disable Perk: Reduced
Explosive Mag Slowing Effect: Reduced
CR-56 AMAX
CR-56 AMAX is an assault rifle with a relatively large spread to offset its stable trajectory and long-distance suppression capability. However, a larger spread will have a greater impact when going against targets behind covers at close to medium combats. Therefore, we have decreased CR-56’s base spread.
Base Spread: Reduced
Kilo 141
Kilo 141 is a powerful assault rifle at medium to long range combat. Previously, we improved Kilo 141’s accuracy and range, however, it still has competitive combat mobility. Therefore, we adjusted the effect of some accessories to make it a more balanced assault rifle.
Extended Mag:
Movement Speed: Decreased
Reload Time: Increased
Large Extended Mag:
Movement Speed: Decreased
Reload Time: Increased
OWC Marksman:
Movement Speed: Decreased
Katana
Max Damage Distance: Decreased
Effective Damage Judgment Time: Decreased
Scorestreaks
Chopper Gunner
Bullet Damage Range: Increased
Bullet Damage: Slightly increased
Orbital Laser
Combat Duration: Reduced
Maximum Travel Distance: Slightly reduced
K9 Unit
Maximum Health: Reduced
Movement Speed: Slightly reduced
Battle Royale
Wingsuit Enhancements
The buoyancy of the wingsuit is increased.
The expected flight distance of the wingsuit is increased by approximately 25%.
Airborne Enhancements
The buoyancy of the airborne chip is increased due to the enhancements on the wingsuit.
The expected flight distance is increased by approximately 25%.
Other Upgrades
Maps/Game Mode Issues:
· The Party owner of a customized game lobby may tap on the "VS" button to switch between teams.
· The OB system for customized game lobby is updated.
· A sorting function to the Emote and Spray interface is added.
· Due to upcoming exciting game modes, the main lobby shortcut to Undead Siege is temporarily moved to the Featured section. The related leaderboards, recruiting teams and camouflages are not affected
See you all for the next and we hope @everyone enjoys the new season!

⛱️ A Soldier’s Choice Themed Event🌇
Raul Menendez is back in our Themed Event for Season 3. In this event you’ll be able to talk with Menendez once a day, interacting with him with unique dialogue. Be careful though, how you choose to talk to Menendez will either help or hurt you overall for this event. If you respond with an answer Menendez likes his mood will increase, but saying something that angers the crime lord will affect his mood negatively. Oh, and the happier Menendez is the quicker you get your tokens. Every day Menendez’s mood will reset, so if you anger him today try a different approach tomorrow!
This event is broken down into three stages, each with its own set of tasks and rewards. Getting through Stage 1 will temporarily unlock Menendez as a playable character. Playing as Menendez you will be able to unlock tokens in Stage 2 and 3 which you can use to acquire the Epic Fennec – Pure Fury, and permanently unlock Menendez himself with Menendez – Safari Fashion. Check out these rewards in action below - https://youtu.be/GN15SsbJF5M

🛠️ Bugs⚒️
**Big Deal Rewards **– Initially the Big Deal promotion was not rewarding players with the claimable rewards for purchasing. This should now be fixed and all players affected should have received their items in their mailbox.
Auto Login – We saw some players, specifically on Android, we’re having some issues with the auto login function around the launch of the season. This should be resolved however if you are still having any issues with it please let us know in the comments.
**Missing Ranked Rewards **- Looks like the ranked reward for MP rank Master V (Prizefighters – Gold Mettle) isn’t appearing in-game despite players having earned them. The team is aware of this issue and looking to get it resolved asap.
**Reactor Core with Controller **– When using the newest Operator Skill – Reactor Core on controller, players are unable to turn it off. This is something the team is aware of and looking into.
Tengu VO – Looks like Tengu lost some of their unique VO lines this season. The team is aware of this bug and looking into getting it resolved asap.
Terminal Doorway – At the start of the season, there was a certain doorway causing players problems. Walking through it transported you back to its entrance, this was fixed.
Cargo Docks Glitched Spot – Looks like there is a glitched spot near the Cargo Docks in BR. The team is aware of said spot and working on a fix.
**Invisible Object in Nuketown Russia **– There was an object showing as invisible on the Nuketown Russia map at the start of the season, this should have been fixed yesterday.
**Invisible Wall in Radar Base **– Looks like there is an invisible wall near Radar Base in Isolated. This should be fixed in an upcoming patch.
Invisible Secondary Weapon – While using desperado in BR some players have reported being able to come back with an invisible secondary weapon. While this does look kind of cool, the team is aware of this issue and working on a fix.
Missing Double XP Icons – In some areas the icon for double weapon XP is missing. The team is aware of this bug and looking into it.
Missing Japanese Character in Chat – When chatting in Japanese in the chat near the start of the season, some characters were missing. This should now be resolved.
Missing Sections in WC Registration – We saw a few reports of players missing some sections while registering for the WC ’22. The team is aware and looking into it.
**Hardpoint on Icebreaker **– We saw some reports of certain areas of Icebreaker not registering in Hardpoint. Our teams are having some trouble reproducing this one, so if you are running into this issue please provide some more information in the comments below!
**Quick Reload Training **– Turning on quick reload in the Training Mode causes some extremely quick reloading. This should be fixed in an upcoming patch.
Missing Red Lights on Firebreak – Some Firebreak models are missing the Red Lights on the character indicating they are an enemy. The team is aware of this and looking into getting it fixed asap.
**Doggfather Emote **– The emote “Release it like it’s warm” appears to switch into a second emote after a while when used in-game. The team is aware of this and looking into getting it resolved asap.
**Kilo Bolt Action – Constable Iron Sights **– The iron sights on this weapon may be bugged. The team is aware and working on a fix.
**
Kilo 141 – Demonsong Missing Animations – Some of the animations for the Kilo 141 – Demonsong are missing, specifically the unique animations with reloading. The team is aware of this and looking into it.
**
Prizefighters – Golden Bull – These Prizefighters weren’t showing in-game near the launch of the season, this should now be resolved.
💬 Feedback💬
Persistence & Balance Changes – As we’ve noted recently, we are working on changes for Persistence in a future update, whether that is the smaller one that goes with Season 4 or the larger one that will come alongside Season 5. Additionally, we have a lot of work being done on weapon balance, perk balance, and general balance changes. Thank you to everyone who continually shares your thoughts about anything balance related, and we hope you appreciate all the changes coming in the near future!
Undead Siege
Back in Season 2 we announced that Undead Siege may be removed as a mode in the future and will be either set to be limited time or just placed in reserve. We don’t have a definitive date on when that will happen yet, but for now, you can find this mode still accessible via the featured events tab. If you have any rewards you are working on, please try to complete them this season in case it is no longer available in Season 4.
**Ranked Mode Adjustments **– As you’ve seen with our Ranked Series 2, we are adjusting some aspects of Ranked Mode and currently discussing more in the future. Some of this coincides with changes being discussed around World Championship 2022 while others are just holistically for Ranked MP and BR. To reiterate, those three main recent changes were:
•Player performance algorithm is updated in consideration of wide matchmaking band matches.
•A new ranking algorithm in FTL/TDM is implemented. Player's ranking used to be calculated based on total kill scores, now it is based on the player’s K/D spread, kills, and assist scores.
•The MVP scoring rules of the Ranked FTL mode is updated. The player’s K/D spread outweighs their ranking in the calculation of MVP.
Support Options
If you are having an issue or running into a bug that isn’t listed above, please make sure to report it through our official channels or even just via community posts. Our teams are regularly monitoring both, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to report any issue (big or small) and helps make the game better for everyone.
Lastly, outside of community channels, which are not great for individual bugs just affecting you (like a COD purchase error or account issues), our two main two official support options are below:
•In-game support chat
•Player Support Website: https://support.activision.com/contact_us
This week we would like to highlight community member LiShDranthon and their excellent work bringing one of the most beloved Call of Duty: Mobile operators, Urban Tracker, to life. In their video Urban Tracker rides in a helicopter surveying whichever Battle Royale map she has chosen to conquer today, the wind blowing through her hair, and ready to drop into battle at a moment's notice.
There is always something about seeing our lovely Community take CODM content and make it their own that brings us so much joy, and this is another example of just that. If you would like to see more work by LiShDranthon go check them out on their Twitter - @LiShDranthon! And be sure and see Urban Tracker in action below -
And that wraps up this Community Update! See you @everyone next week for more Season 3 content! 👋

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community!
We’re back with the final Community Update of Season 3: Radical Raid wrapping up the last events of Season 3 as well as looking ahead to Season 4.

Seasonal Challenges
Since our last Community Update, two new Seasonal Challenges have launched! These are the last two Seasonal Challenges of the Season so be sure and get these done before they’re gone when Season 4 storms into town next week.
**BR Heat 🔥 **
As the name suggests, this Seasonal Challenge is all about withstanding the heat in BR matches. From winning Ranked BR games, to picking up teammates’ dog tags (as tempting as it is to blow up teammates while they are in a vehicle, we cannot condone friendly fire 😉) the tasks for this event are all focused on Battle Royale and will earn you 12,000 Battle Pass XP as well as the following items -
•Spotter – Throwback (Uncommon)
•Trap Master – Throwback (Uncommon)
•Backpack – Throwback (Uncommon)

•Knife – Throwback (Uncommon)
•DR-H – Throwback (Uncommon)
•Frame – Verdant Lock (Rare)
•AK117 – Timepiece (Rare)
And that wraps up the Seasonal Challenges for this Season! Keep an eye out for the Seasonal Challenges that S4 will bring in next week’s Community Update.
New Season Appointment
The New Season Appointment is a brand-new type of Featured Event live now in Call of Duty: Mobile. With Season 4 right around the corner, you can now get rewards for just updating your game on time. All you have to do is go into the New Season Appointment event and click the “Reserve Now” button. This will reserve your appointment to update the game when available. Then, once the new update is out you can claim your event rewards. If you make your update reservation ahead of time you will be able to earn the following rewards –
2 Gilded Gloves Crates (Epic)
Sticker – Dropping Hot (Rare)
2 Epic Credit Crates (Epic)
So, make your reservations now for the new Season and these sweet rewards!
Power Supply Draw
Launched earlier this week and running through early May, the Power Supply Draw is here, perfect for all you retro gaming lovers out there. Check out this specially made video our team made just to help highlight the unique items and theme of this draw: https://youtu.be/2TfBujDsaWM
Level up with the Epic Spectre – Leveled Up 🤖 and their 8-bit inspired legendary HVK-30 – Cartridge Crusher. Defeating your enemies with the Cartridge Crusher will explode them into 8-bit blocks and play a unique arcade-style “K.O.” voice effect. And don’t worry if this gun jams all you need to do is blow in it to get it working again 😉.
So-ken Draw
The second to last draw of the Season, the So-ken Draw, launched yesterday and runs through the first week of May. https://youtu.be/JZoqLSEriSk
This draw brings the **brand new operator Kui Ji **into the game. He is stylish and deadly assassin with uniquely themed armor. Along with him is the legendary Rytec AMR – Nito-Ryu, an Epic Katana – Thousand Fold, an Emote that will have you doing flips, and much more.
World Championship 2022
The final weekend of Champs ’22 is live now! This means it’s your last chance to earn the rewards of Stage 1. If you’ve been playing qualifying matches throughout the three weekends so far of Stage 1 and continue through this weekend, you’ll earn yourself Zero – Main Event. If you missed a weekend here or there, don’t fret, because playing this weekend alone you can earn the Epic Locus – Street Cred NA. Hopefully you all made it through Stage 1 of the World Championship 2022 and we will see you when it is time to team up in Stage 2 later in the year!
Feedback & Bug Reports
Since we are on the eve of a new season that means we are on the eve of new content and new fixes. That means we don’t have many updates or news to discuss on either of these topics, but we have gone over many different topics throughout the season and in previous community updates. Please refer to previous updates for the full list of those, but here are some of the most relevant feedback topics:
Feedback
•Persistence & Balance Changes – As we’ve noted recently, we are working on changes for Persistence in a future update, whether that is the smaller one that goes with Season 4 or the larger one that will come alongside Season 5. Additionally, we have a lot of work being done on weapon balance, perk balance, and general balance changes. Thank you to everyone who continually shares your thoughts about anything balance-related, and we hope you appreciate all the changes coming in the near future!
•Undead Siege – Back in Season 2 we announced that Undead Siege may be removed as a mode in the future and will be either set to be limited time or just placed in reserve. We don’t have a definitive date on when that will happen yet, but for now, you can find this mode still accessible via the featured events tab. We can also confirm it is still going to be accessible in Season 4 as well, but there isn’t additional news at the moment.
•Mythic Redux – We teased and talked about a Mythic Redux coming up soon. Originally, that was meant to drop in Season 3, but after some changes, we ended up moving that back. With Season 4 coming soon we’ll try to hold off on talking about that until it is locked in completely and we can announce which Redux it will be.
•Multiplayer Lobby Background Update – For as long as we can remember we have seen people asking for a new MP lobby screen. We know you are tired of seeing Firing Range in the background and we have plans to update it 😉 in the near future. However, we don’t have any release date on that yet and we’ll share more news on that (and hopefully a first screenshot of it) once we get closer to that releasing.

*All Dates UTC
📢 Just an extra heads-up, which is also mentioned below in the Tournament Mode section, but that new competitive mode **does not start until **05/06 UTC. That's the first weekend for the mode, which may be confusing if you head in-game now, see the new tab, and see no specific date called out. We'll have more on that next week once it is close to launching!
Otherwise, as you can see above or below in the Roadmap, this season is packed with new and returning modes, maps, and content! Something new you might have noticed is instead of bringing you all the beloved Alcatraz for a set amount of time, it will be available to drop into every weekend (from Friday at midnight to late Sunday evening UTC). In addition to the new content outlined above, there are a wide variety of new weapon blueprints and operators in Season 4 to help you take on the storm. To see when the content will be dropping check out the roadmap below:
Battle Pass
The Season 4: Wild Dogs Battle Pass is live now! Time to face the desert with operators like Farah, Ghost, and Roach. And if that wasn’t enough to brave the storm – the new Koshka sniper rifle and new Lethal Equipment – Contact Grenade are also available to acquire.

•Calling Card – Bloodshot
And if that wasn’t enough, the bundle also comes with a BP tier earn-rate boost.
Battle Royale - Sandstorm
In Call of Duty: Mobile Season 4: Wild Dogs it isn’t just enemies you’ll be fighting in Battle Royale…but the Sandstorm as well. At the start of each Battle Royale match, a Sandstorm will randomly appear in an area of the map. The Sandstorm will greatly reduce visibility in the area it is in as well as cause flying debris to occur. Amid the storm will be a tornado that will launch players high into the sky, which can be both an advantage or disadvantage depending on how think about it.
If you lose sight of an enemy in the storm, try looking down, that’s because in the Sandstorm players will leave temporary footprints. However, if you don’t want to have to do any tracking, keep an eye out for the new thermal scope (only available in BR) which you can pick up only in areas containing the Sandstorm. Additionally, the Airflow Generator will be available to pick up in these areas, deploying this item will create a strong updraft that players can ride into the sky. To learn more about how this new weather event will affect Battle Royale watch the video below - https://youtu.be/xeH6-UD73BY
New MP Mode - Ground War
Get ready to drive some vehicles across the rolling dunes of Satellite in the new Multiplayer mode – Ground War! You’ll group up with 11 other players in some 12v12 tactical action that tasks you with capturing multiple control points across the map. You can do this on foot or by vehicle, but certain parts of Satellite are far more suited for each type of warfare.
Just like in Battle Royale, you can jump into vehicles with other players and cooperatively work together to make the enemy fear your vehicular skills. This new mode is just here for a limited time, like all new modes, so please make sure to share plenty of feedback about it through the community on top of playing it often.
It all goes a long way to helping us understand the demand for the mode and if it is worth bringing back regularly or even making permanent if it is popular enough. You’ll be able to try it out very soon, Ground War is set to release in just a few days on 4/29 UTC!
** New Tournament Mode **
With Season 4: Wild Dogs we are adding a new competitive mode to mix, one with its own epic rewards, rules, playlists, and of course bragging rights! Tournament Mode is that new feature and it will be a great option for both new and veteran Ranked players.
Similar to Stage 1 of the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2022, this mode will be running on weekends and starting May 6th UTC! There is a lot to this mode and many rewards you can earn, so we’ll have a detailed breakdown coming out in a new blog just before it launches. For now, keep an eye out for info, videos, and more through in-game and our socials.
**New Functional Weapon – Koshka **
Sniper lovers rejoice because the new functional weapon this season is the Koshka. Originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, this sniper is a bolt-action rifle and is extremely deadly with high lethal damage, low fire rate, and high accuracy. The Koshka can be adjusted with a variety of attachments to fit whatever style of sniping you prefer - whether you’re quick-scoping, pulling off 360 no-scopes, or tactically holding down vantage points, the Koshka will have you dropping bodies this Season.
The Koshka is available right now in the Season 4: Wild Dogs Battle Pass! You can earn it at Tier 21 on the free side of the Battle Pass or you can get the epic variant, Koshka – Skiff Shot at Tier 50. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be seeing a legendary version of the Koshka later in the season 😉! For some suggested builds and more details on the weapon keep an eye on our YouTube channel for a tutorial video coming this weekend!
New Melee Weapon – Kali Sticks
Run fast and hit hard with the newest melee weapon coming to Call of Duty: Mobile - the Kali Sticks. Originally from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the Kali Sticks are dual-wielding batons that will hit your enemies not once, but twice, for every melee attack you use. Even though the attack motion is made up of two hits - instead of one like most melees – this new melee weapon is anything but slow. With a high attack speed, and among the highest mobility among the melee weapons, you can be in your enemy’s business before they have any time to take you down.
The Kali Sticks are available now, earnable through the Seasonal Challenge Flank and Shank. More details on that Seasonal Challenge later in this update!
New Lethal Equipment – Contact Grenade
Do you love grenades but don’t love cooking them to explode right at impact? Well, then you’re in luck. The latest lethal equipment coming to Call of Duty: Mobile is the Contact Grenade. Much like the name suggests, this grenade explodes the second it comes into contact with an enemy, the ground, wall, or any object. The Contact Grenade however has a smaller blast radius than your normal grenade, so it is vital that you aim with precision when throwing this grenade into battle.
You can earn the Contact Grenade now in the Season 4: Wild Dogs Battle Pass at tier 14. And if you want to see more details on the latest piece of lethal equipment to come to Call of Duty: Mobile, check out the tutorial video below! https://youtu.be/29Ik2OyzRTQ
**📡 New Multiplayer Map – Satellite 🛰️ **
Get ready to scavenge the dangerous desert of Satellite! From Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Satellite is a large map centered around the wreckage of a satellite that has crashed landed in the desert. This map is separated between the desert high ground and the lower rocky area below it. Long stretches of the desert provide great visibility and make for ideal spots to snipe or engage in long-distance combat.
The rocky areas of the map are more suitable for close counter engagements with plenty of twists and turns in the rocky caverns. At the center of it all is the downed satellite, if you want your team to dominate games on this map you will need to take and hold this area around the satellite debris. This map will also support the new Ground War mode which means be on the lookout for enemies (or friends) in vehicles! Here is a quick first look at the map: https://youtu.be/ymIBQ6VwuYY
Speaking of Ground War, the first way to check out this map is through that mode launching on 04/29 UTC. Later on and for other modes, you can play the map Satellite starting on 05/06 UTC in the Satellite 24/7 playlist. We’ll have a more detailed breakdown, complete with tips and more, coming out soon so keep an eye out on our YouTube channel for that!

This small town turned hideout - turned battleground for you and your enemies - Khandor Hideout is coming to Call of Duty: Mobile! This medium-sized map follows the classic COD three-lane structure with a combination of long sightlines and vantage points for snipers, as well as buildings and tight alleys for those exciting close encounters. To control this map, you’ll need to control the Lab, a two-story building located in the middle of the map. While holding the Lab keep your awareness high because there are a variety of entrances to it on both the first and second floor. Here is a quick first look of this map: https://youtu.be/mhdLEcUaqOE
You will be able to explore this new locale starting 05/19 UTC in the Khandor Hideout 24/7 playlist. And just like Satellite, we’ll have a video breaking down all the tips and tricks for this map, so be sure and keep an eye on our YouTube channel for that!

Prove your skills in battles and win amazing rewards like the limited Red Sprite collector Epic camouflages... Other awesome MVP actions and CP rewards are waiting for you!
Multiplayer
New Maps
-Satellite
A satellite has crashed into the desert, and many have come to fight to claim the wreckage. The new map, Satellite, has arrived. Warriors, do not underestimate lurking enemies in the caves around the wreckage and the snipers behind dunes. Prepare to fight in this dangerous desert and recover the fallen satellite debris!
-Khandor Hideout
The new map, Khandor Hideout, has officially arrived! The once peaceful town has now become a dangerous garrison point. Whether it is at the laboratory, garages, or the residential buildings, a ferocious fight may break out! The central laboratory of the map will be a strategic control point and worth holding for a tactical advantage. Soldiers, prepare for tense street battles and watch out for the lurking enemies!
New Mode
-Ground War
The new 12v12 Ground War gameplay is coming in Season 4! Get ready to jump into large maps with many players, vehicles, and multiple control points... Come join in the fun!
Battle Royale
-Sandstorm
Wherever a sandstorm strikes, desert crates, and special treasures appear! In this season’s BR, sandstorms will appear randomly in the desert city. Soldiers, watch your steps when you enter the sandstorm areas to loot treasures, a small tornado may appear to carry you away!
-Undead Siege
Reward adjustment
In order to allow the soldiers to get the rewards of the PVE mode faster, the probability of some production in the undead siege has been increased!
**New Weapons **
-Koshka
This slow-fire bolt-action sniper rifle has a large lethal area and exceptionally high accuracy. Equipping it with exclusive attachments can vastly improve the accuracy of firing during ADS.
-Kali Sticks
This melee weapon is held in both hands and can be continuously swung at a faster speed with a wider attack range.
-Contact Grenade
This grenade explodes immediately upon contact with any surface with a smaller blast radius.
Weapon Mastery Adjustment
A player's weapons mastery will be capped at 5000 points until the player advances to Legendary ranking. Weapon mastery points will start to increase once the Legendary rank is achieved.
**🔧 Balance Adjustment 🔧 **
Multiplayer & Battle Royale
Perk-Disable adjustment
Initially, the main design goal of Disable was to assist players in shooting fast-moving targets. However, the current dominance of Disable has significantly affected our combat rhythm.
We reduced the effective part of Disable on the rifle and kept the effect of the perk on the machine gun. We have also increased the effective parts of the perk on the marksman and sniper rifle to the whole body, hoping that the SR and MR, two-shotting enemies, can better cooperate with teammates in gameplay.
We've also reduced the impact of the Disable perk on players’ own movement speed, hoping it can better focus on support.
Effective Part Adjustment
•Assault rifle: Whole Body -> Lower body
•Sniper and Marksman Rifle: Lower Body -> Whole body
Effect Adjustment
•Movement Speed Debuff: Reduced
•ADS Movement Speed Debuff: Reduced
Kilo 141
As a mid-range rifle, the Kilo141's stable handle, long-range, and damage to the head allow its TTK and control range to be overly prominent in the assault rifle.
We lowered the head damage multiplier to increase the difficulty of aiming and shortened the range to make room for other weapons.
•Damage Multiplier to the Head: Reduced
•Shooting Range: Reduced
PDW-57
In the past, we have significantly limited the shooting range and the spread of the PDW-57. However, with our many version updates, the TTK of the PDW-57 has lost its obvious advantages.
In this version, we have extended the shooting range, optimized the spread, and improved the fault tolerance. PDW-57 has been an old friend for our many players, we truly hope to see the return of this gun on the battlefield.
•Shooting Range: Adjusted
•ADS Spread: Reduced
•Damage Multiplier to the Leg and Hip: Increased
LMGs
In recent versions, the machine gun's ammo capacity advantage has been declining due to the changes in the assault rifles' stability, range, and ammo capacity.
This time, a small compensation is made for the ADS speed of the following LMG:
•Scope Speed: Increased for S36, UL736, RPD, M4LMG, Chopper, Holger26, Hades and PKM
RPD
As our version updates, the RPD, representing the machine guns, has seemingly lost its advantage in its medium and long-range suppression ability.
This time, we will first increase the damage of the RPD at medium and long-distance, and observe the effect.
•Medium and Long Distance Damage: Increased
Chicom Enhanced
Chicom is currently difficult to control. Its small ammunition capacity leads to its low killing efficiency.
This time, we increased its bullet capacity and adjusted the damage at medium and close range to improve fault tolerance. At the same time, the damage multiplier of hitting the head is increased, so that players who are proficient with this weapon can destroy enemies faster.
•Default Magazine Capacity: Increased
•39-Round Magazine Capacity: Increased
•45-Round Magazine Capacity: Increased
•Mid-Range Damage: Increased
•Damage Multiplier to the Head: Increased
•Damage Multiplier to the Upper Arm: Increased
M21 EBR
The unbalanced damage multiplier design of the M21 EBR makes a huge difference between the Multiplayer and Battle Royale modes. To bring it back to Multiplayer, we've made the following adjustments:
Increase in the damage multiplier to the upper chest and arms to ensure that the upper body can be killed with one shot at close range in Multiplayer mode;
Slightly reduced in mid-range damage, combined with the above adjustments, so that mid-range hit upper-body damage remains the same. However, the damage of hitting the lower body is reduced, and the requirements for control ability in the Battle Royale are improved.
•Shooting Range: Adjusted
•Base Damage: Adjusted
•Damage Multiplier to the Upper Chest and Arm: Increased
•Slightly increased rate of fire
Shorty
As a powerful close-range secondary weapon, the current short effective range and excessive spread limit its performance in most combat environments.
Therefore, we have optimized shorty's projectile dispersion to make it more stable in medium and short-range damage when aiming accurately. We hope this weapon can become a reliable partner for snipers when encountering close-range combat.
Thumper
•Weapon Switching Speed: Reduced
•Center Damage: Reduced
M13
The stability and range of the M13 give it a significant advantage in mid-range combat, with a high fault tolerance rate and a significant reduction in TTK through headshots
This time, we lowered its range, increased the negative attributes of the magazine, and released room for LMG and other mid-range rifles
•Shooting Range: Reduced
Extended Mag
•Movement Speed: Reduced
•Reload Time: Increased
Large Extended Mag
•Movement Speed: Reduced
•Reload Time: Increased
.300RTC Double Stack 40 Round
•Movement Speed: Reduced
•ADS Speed: Reduced
Battle Royale
In the Battle Royale, the accuracy and damage of most weapons at medium and long distances are obviously insufficient, and the waist shot at close range is too accurate, which makes players always tend to fight at close range, making the rhythm relatively monotonous.
We hope that players can have more choices at different distances, so we made a bold attempt and adjusted the value of the weapons as a whole.
•Overall Enhancement: The switching speed of all firearms/throwables has been increased.
•SMGs’ hip-fire accuracy has been reduced during the continuous fire; it will gradually approach rifles during continuous fire.
•Adjusted the calculation method of advanced attachments of hip-fire accuracy
•Hip-fire accuracy bonus provided by advanced attachments will be calculated at the end.
•Significantly reduces the duration of the effect of the Legendary-quality Hip-fire Attachment.
Enhancement
•Damage Falloff Above 25m: Removed for AK117, AK-47, M4, BK57, LK24, KN-44, HBRa3, S36, UL736, RPD, CHOPPER, Holger 26, Hades, and AUG
•Damage Falloff Above 20m: Removed for HVK-30 and DR-H
Man-O-War
•Minimum Damage: Increased
FR .556
•Minimum Damage: Increased
PeaceKeeper MK2
•Damage Falloff Beyond 25m: Removed
•Minimum Damage: Increased
ASM10
•Damage Falloff Beyond 25m: Removed
•Minimum Damage: Increased
GKS
•Damage Falloff Beyond 25m: Removed
•Damage in the First Range: Increased
CR56
•Second Segment Range: Increased
•Third Segment Damage Falloff: Removed
•Damage Falloff Beyond 25m: Removed
•Minimum Damage: Increased

•First-Range Damage: Increased
M13
•First Range: Decreased
Fennec
•Shooting Range: Reduced

Hey hey @everyone
Call of Duty: Mobile is hosting it's first ever AMA! And the questions will be coming from you in the community. This one will be extra unique because if your question is picked we would like you to record yourself, via video, asking the question so we can feature that in an upcoming AMA video on the Call of Duty: Mobile YouTube channel.
From now until 5/5 you can submit the question you want answered here (https://forms.gle/zaYFcgiuz3A5pZWZ6) in this Google form and it might get chosen to be answered by members of our development team on the CODM YouTube channel! Be on the lookout for more details on when that will be!
Note this is currently only open to those in the USA region

Hello @everyone ! 👋
First off, thank you to every person who submitted a question for the AMA . We've had a lot of great questions come in already and our team is excited to create the upcoming video answering an assortment of top picks! We'll be trying to release that later this month, so keep an eye out for more news on it.
This week we don't have a traditional community update coming your way and one of the reasons for that is that we have a public test build coming soon ! We can't configure the timing just yet, but we are aiming to have it available within the next week and full of content from Season 5 and Season 6 of Call of Duty: Mobile.
There are also multiple things launching today that are worth noting:
•**Sandstorms Eye themed event **
•Satellite MP Map Playlist
•**Crown of Kings Draw **
With all of that said, this week we'd still like to highlight a unique cinematic video our teams made to help celebrate that just released legendary Phantom - Osiris and Sandstorms Eye event. Of course, the overarching theme is around the unique Sandstorm feature we brought to Battle Royale this season.
Without further ado, check out that short video below! We hope you like all of the cinematic expertise that went into making this one and we'll see everyone next time for the test build! https://youtu.be/of4CIU2x-cQ

To leave you all with something other than the usual support links and options, here is a glimpse at the Wasteland Warhead Draw below!

In addition to all the modes and events listed above, this season has a ton of new operators and blueprints for you all to earn as you dive deep into the jungle. You can get a quick glimpse at some of the content dropping now or later in the season through our Roadmap below-
Undead Siege, Classic ZOMBIES, and Dev AMA
While we have the launch of a new season today, we also recently had an AMA (Ask Me Anything) hosted by Hawsknest and with support from BobbyPlays. In that AMA we answered a variety of questions that ranged from favorite operators, best ways to optimize your game, plans for future content, and some news about the frequently asked for classic ZOMBIES mode. First off, you can find that AMA below and the comments about ZOMBIES are 21 minutes in:
AMA Link (21 minutes in): https://youtu.be/BDzNOnVZjBY
For anyone that can’t watch right now and would rather read, the summary about the classic round-based ZOMBIES mode is that we are working on finding a way to bring it back into the Global version of the game. This is the version currently in the Chinese version of COD: Mobile and while it isn’t just a simple switch to bring it over to global, we are looking into it and we’ll have more updates later.
For you Undead Siege fans, please be aware that as of Season 5 the mode will be removed this season. We left it in featured events for several seasons to try to give extra time to complete anything you might still be working on, but in preparation for more significant content coming in Season 6 we are removing it now to make room.
There currently aren’t plans for any reward compensation for those who still have shards to complete, primarily because we would like to leave open the possibility of bringing Undead Siege back. Although, like mentioned above there are no current plans to bring the mode back in the near future.
Battle Pass
The Season 5: Tropical Vision is live now and with our first ever all female operator Battle Pass! This new pass features the operators: Rampage, Park – Survivor, Rivas – Smuggler, and Rosa – Animal Instincts. On the weapon side of things, there is the new Oden assault rifle (free and epic version available), the Echo Grenade, AK-47 – Mania, and many other Epic weapon blueprints. Here is a quick highlight of each side of the Battle Pass below:
Free Battle Pass

Tournament Mode
We have many fixes and changes to this mode coming this season and update, and with more on the way. Thank you so much to everyone who has left extensive feedback about this mode, that feedback on top of in-game data and bug reports has been extremely valuable to our designers. Here is a quick list of what is being changed now:
• The “Completionist Camos” are. are not meant to be categorized as such and that’s why they don’t behave the same way (or are earned the same way) as a normal completionist camo. We are looking into options to change this in the future in order to better explain them.
• The Red Sprite camos are not meant to give duplicates or zero credits upon a duplicate. We are working on solving the duplicate problem in itself, but in the meantime we are going to send out replacement rewards via Tournament Mode camo crates.
We also have many different updates to rules, penalties, matchmaking, and more are being changed alongside Season 5 or in the near future. We’ll share more about that once we have confirmations on what exactly is being changed, but please do keep sharing feedback and bug reports as we intend to adjust this mode more in future updates.
New Ways to Fight (Echo Grenade, RPD – Cooling Compressor Barrel, and Oden)
Available at tier 14 and 21 in the Battle Pass are the Echo Grenade and the Oden, respectively. Here are the details below on each of those new pieces of equipment:
New Tactical – Echo Grenade
The Echo Grenade is a new piece of tactical equipment that will have your tropical vision on working to your advantage. Toss this Grenade and upon destination pulse waves will be emitted from it every 1.5 seconds. These pulses will show enemy player’s outlines, showing their position through any obstacle and terrain. Be careful though because someone can counter the Echo Grenade by running the Ghost perk. Also, be aware that the outline of your enemies will show where they were when the pulse hit them, and not their location. So, unless you are locating a camper be wary the enemy may be on the move!
New Weapon – Oden
The heavy hitting Oden has made its way to Call of Duty: Mobile from Modern Warfare. This slower firing assault rifle packs a serious punch. The firing rate of this weapon may not be as high as other assault rifles, but it makes up for that with its high damage output with it’s larger than average caliber. This weapon can be adjusted to suit you in any battle situation. In addition to the base version of the Oden, there is the epic Oden – Megalodon available at tier 50 in the premium Battle Pass, and if you keep your eye out there may be a Mythic version available later in the season! Be sure and keep an eye out on our YouTube channel for a full tutorial video on this weapon.
Seasonal Challenges
Much like any new season, Season 5: Tropical Vision has all new challenges for you all to complete to earn some sweet rewards. We’ll cover the first Seasonal Challenge that’s live in-game now but be sure and keep an eye out for more Seasonal Challenge information in future Community Updates as a new challenge will be releasing every week.
Get Cooked!
The first Seasonal Challenge will have you cookin your enemies in MP matches with throwable equipment, headshots, assault rifles, and even the new Oden. With 14,000 Battle Pass XP available this is a great challenge to earn all those awesome rewards in the Battle Pass, as well as the following from the mission itself:
• Charm – Charmer’s Flute (Rare)
• DL Q33 – Flintlocker (Rare)
• RPD – Emerald Scales (Epic)
MP Map – Apocalypse
Ever since Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was released in 2020 we’ve had many requests for weapons, maps, and characters from that title to come to Call of Duty: Mobile. With Apocalypse, we are excited to be able to bring in yet another map from Cold War, but one that is far different from the beachside cityscape of Miami Strike.
Head into the Jungle for plenty of fun and games later this season with Apocalypse! You’ll be able to explore this dark, varied, and challenging map that offers plenty of opportunities for close and mid-range combat. While the map is based around ancient ruins, it is also a military base hidden within the jungle. Check it out yourself on 06/17 UTC and take a look around the map in the flythrough below:

Guns Blazing Mode Returns
Get your Rage on when this revamped limited time mode returns tomorrow on 06/03 UTC! Guns Blazing originally released during our 80s Action Heroes event, from 2021, where you could play as John McClane (from the Die Hard movies) or John Rambo (from the Rambo movies). This mode is back with general CODM theming this time and has you fighting to become a super soldier in a free for all style Multiplayer match.
Guns Blazing Mode is simple: take out your enemies without dying, build up RAGE, and once you earn enough RAGE become a Super Soldier. As a Super Solider you’ll have increased health while dual wielding two chopper LMGs with unlimited ammo, which is quite powerful but every other player is likely to focus on taking you out.
Lastly, while you are playing this new mode make sure to check out the Suns Out, Guns Out! Featured Event that is tied to Guns Blazing! It’s an event that simply rewards you for playing the mode and with rewards like the rare KN-44 – Flintlocker camo, the rare Striker – Flintlocker camo, or the Raines – Trooper operator if you can collect enough shards. Check it all out in-game very soon!

Balance Adjustment
Multiplayer & Battle Royale
AR/SMG/LMG Bullet Spread Adjustment
In the current versions of the battle rhythm, we have made a unified evaluation and adjustment to the distribution value of AR/SMG/LMG firearms. Overall, the average distribution of each gun system has been lowered:
ADS bullet spread: Significantly reduced (>20%)
Swordfish, M16, Pharo, LK24, FR .556, ICR-1, AK-47, HVK-30, Man-O-War, HBRa3
ADS bullet spread: Reduced (10%~20%)
M4, M4LMG, DR-H, UL736
ADS bullet spread: Slightly reduced (less than 10%)
Kilo 141, KN-44, M13, ASM10, AK117, BK57, CR-56 AMAX, RPD, AS VAL, Type 25, Holger 26, GKS, Chopper, Hades, QQ9, QXR
ADS bullet spread: Significantly increased
In the previous version, ADS bullet spread was too accurate, even more than some marksman rifles. We have increased the spread to balance.
RUS-79U
All the above changes are applicable to Battle Royale. In Battle Royale, the ADS bullet spread of all firearms is 60% of that in Multiplayer mode.
AR/SMG/SG/SR Movement Speed Adjustment
We have sorted out the mobility of weapons between different types and within the same type, so that the mobility of firearms is more in line with its positioning.
Movement speed: Slightly increased
DR-H, HVK-30, CR-56 AMAX, HBRa3, AK117, M13, KRM-262, R9-0
ADS Movement speed: Slightly increased
M21 EBR, SVD
Movement speed bonus of attachments: Reduced
PPSh-41 Fast Reload +8% → +5%
QQ9 Tactical Barrel +5% → +4%
No Stock +5% → +4%
ADS Movement speed bonus of attachments: Reduced
MAC-10 Combat Stock & Steel Stock +20% → +16%
Fennec Light Stock +15% → +12%
Light Mag +5% → +4%
MX9 Agile Stock +40% → +37%
RPD
Overall enhanced mid-range positioning firearms to suit rhythm.
Range: Increased
Damage Multiplier to the Head: Increased
RPD new attachment: Cooling Compressor Barrel
When equipped, the fire mode switches to the overheating mechanism. Controlling the heat can achieve stable and continuous firepower output.
Attributes:
Range: Increased
Vertical Recoil: Reduced
Hit Flinch: Reduced
Movement Speed: Reduced
ADS Bullet Spread: Increased
MAC-10
The current use of Mac-10 is very high. Mac-10 can deal relatively stable damage even at a slightly longer distance. Therefore, we appropriately adjusted the damage of the second range to reduce its advantage in mid-range.
Damage: Reduced
Assault Rifle Reload Speed Adjustment
ASM10
Slightly increased the reload speed, and optimized the reload action.
Tactical Reload speed: Increased
Empty Reload speed: Increased
Man-O-War
Slightly increased the reload speed.
Tactical Reload speed: Increased
Empty Reload speed: Increased
Mid-range positioning firearms Enhanced
We have re-examined the performance of mid-range guns and adjusted their strengths and weaknesses.
HBRa3
Range: Increased
New attribute for attachment: Thunderbolt Sling
Hipfire Bullet Spread: Reduced
FR .556
Range: Increased
BK57
Range: Increased
KN-44
Make it hit the head three times within 29 meters to kill the enemy.
Range: Increased
Damage Multiplier to the Head: Increased
CR-56 AMAX
Range: Increased
Peacekeeper MK2
Base Mag Capacity: Increased
Base Range: Increased (Does not work on Rapid Fire Barrel)
Reload Speed of Double Stack Mag: Increased
M4LMG
Range: Increased
UL736
Range: Increased
Hades
Range: Increased
New attribute for attachment Crossbar
Hipfire Bullet Spread: Reduced
AK117
As one of the first high-rate rifles to be launched, the AK117 is favored by many fighters, but its relatively uncontrollable recoil and weakness at medium distances make it slightly inferior to other high-rate rifles. Therefore, we have slightly increased its range and damage at the second range, and increased the damage multiplier to the upper chest and arms to ensure that it can eliminate the enemy with 4 shots on the upper chest and arms within the second range. So that its combat capability at medium distances can keep up with the mainstream level of the current version.
• Range: Increased
• Damage: Increased
• Damage Multiplier to the Chest and Lower Arms: Increased
At the same time, we have updated the resources for its reloading action, and made corresponding fine-tuning of the reloading time according to the performance of the action.
Reload Speed: Reduced
LK24
In the initial design of LK24, we wanted it to be an assault rifle that can be used for mid-to-long-range camping. However, since the current version of the bullet spread is uniformly adjusted, the characteristics of the LK24 are not prominent enough. Therefore, we want to re-adjust it to match its positioning.
We have adjusted the bullet spread algorithm so that the first few bullets have higher accuracy under the condition that the maximum spread remains unchanged during continuous firing; and the bullet spread in the moving state is increased.
• Range: Increased
• Damage: Increased
• Damage Multiplier to the Hands: Increased
GKS
As a medium-rate submachine gun, GKS has been struggling to adapt to the current meta. In order to bring it back to the battlefield, we hope to give a spotlight to its ADS ballistic advantages by slightly increasing its basic movement speed, canceling the penalty of bullet spread in the moving state, and strengthening its flexible Sprint-to-Fire characteristics. We have also adjusted the damage algorithm so that GKS can eliminate the enemy with three shots in the upper body at close range. We hope this will help regain its advantage in the battlefield.
• Range: Adjusted
• Damage: Adjusted
• Damage Multiplier to the Head, Upper Chest and Arms: Increased
Renetti
Renetti's three bursts have higher requirements for accuracy, however, the range of 6m-15m is too short in comparison to all secondary weapons. Therefore, we have increased the range to help it adapt into the current meta.
Range: Increased
Multiplayer
Perk: Persistence
The initial intention of Persistence’s design is to allow more players to experience the fun of the unique scorestreaks of the COD series. However, due to the overpowering mechanism, the technical threshold for players to obtain advanced scorestreaks is too low. This affected the overall combat experience. Therefore, we are looking to make the following adjustments:
Persistence is changed to blue perk and will be incompatible with Hardline.
The speed at which players can obtain scorestreaks is reduced.
When equipped with Persistence, all scorestreaks are divided into 3 segments in accordance to the score; players can only choose one from each segment to equip.
In order to control the impact of scorestreaks on the battle while ensuring players’ experience of scorestreaks, players will no longer be able to choose 3 advanced scorestreaks when Persistence is equipped.
Scorestreaks
We observed the performance of scorestreaks as a whole, and made some balance adjustments to some of them:
EMP Systems
Score requirements: Reduced
Orbital Laser
Score requirements: Increased
Duration: Reduced
Napalm
Duration: Reduced
Chopper Gunner
Score requirements: Increased
Battle Royale
In the last version, we tried to emphasize the effectiveness of mid-range combat and made changes to the damage falloff of Assault rifles and LMGs. Unfortunately, the latest adjustment did not quite meet our expectations. The slow bullet velocity and large ADS bullet spread has prevented the mid-range weapons from its full potential. Therefore, we have made an adjustment.
The mobility of LMGs in BR severely limits the play of them. We have made some compensation for their movement speed, though they will still be slower than Assault rifles.
Bullet Velocity Adjustment
Except AS VAL, all Assault Rifles and LMGs’ Bullet Velocity: Increased
Medium and low rate of fire Sniper & Marksman Rifles: Increased
Bullet Spread Adjustment
All Assault Rifles and LMGs’ ADS Bullet Spread: Reduced
Min/max mirror shot spreads are now relatively close for all LMGs/Assault Rifles.
The LMGs will reach its max Bullet Spread later than the Assault Rifles when under continuous fire.
Mobility Adjustment
Base Movement Speed of all LMGs: Increased
Runner Mod Adjustment
The duration and speed of the acceleration effect will vary depending on the gun types.
The acceleration duration of gun types other than Sniper Rifles/LMGs has been greatly reduced.
Cold Down Speed: Reduced
Class: Scout
The information obtained by the Scout is too limited, it should get more frequency and duration of use.
• Charge Speed: Increased
• Duration of Lv.2 Scout: Increased
Class: Mechanic
The EMP drone's search distance is not far enough, but the standby state will reveal its position. We hope that it will have a more stable effect.
• The Speed drone approaching enemies and Deceleration rate: Increased
• Drone’s Search Distance: Increased
• Reduced the drone standby time, as compensation, shortened the time required for the drone to recharge.
And that does it for our Season 5: Tropical Storm Community Update. We hope @everyone will enjoy exploring this new season and we will see you all next week for another Community Update!

Bugs
Lag/Network Issues – The team is investigating new lag issues some players have been experiencing since the S5 launch. If you are having trouble loading into a match, can you please provide your region and network provider in the comments below? That info will be super helpful for the team investigating this issue
Invisible Operators – At the start of the season there was an operator who when equipped would cause the player to be invisible. This issue has been resolved.
Button Issues – We’ve been seeing players report that since the Season 5 update they have been having issues with buttons (specifically on the right side of their screen) being unresponsive. The team is aware of this issue and working on a fix.
ADS Issues – In BR TPP the legendary ICR-1 – Sabre Blade wasn’t zooming in while ADS. This issue should now be resolved.
Completionist Camos – We’ve been seeing reports of players having some issues with Completionist Camos, specifically related to the new functional weapon the Oden. The team is aware of this issue and working on a fix.
Performance Issues – Since the start of the season we have seen a variety of reports around players facing performance issues when using the Oden with specific ammo equipped or when shooting surfaced areas. The team is aware of this and working on a fix.
Feedback
Tournament Mode – Since the launch of Tournament mode, there has been a ton of feedback from you all. As always this is much appreciated and gives us the opportunity to tweak the mode based on what you all are saying! In the last Community Update we touched on some changes, but we wanted to give you some more details on adjustments we have made this week.
• Adding Tournament Camos to Blueprints – This is something that we see the community ask for consistently, which we understand because it would look so cool. A major factor when it comes to adding camos like these over a blueprint is that it sometimes directly conflicts with the blueprint’s original special effects. This conflict would cause larger performance issues in the game itself, so it takes some time to optimize this feature. However, it is something that we are working on implementing into the game!
• Duplicate Camos – In Season 1 of this mode, there was an issue where players would receive a duplicate camo without getting any kind of dupe protection reward. Players who received any camo of this nature will receive a replacement camo crate in their inbox. Starting in Season 2, when players get a duplicate camo, they will receive another camo crate.
• Rewards – Players will now receive immediate rewards when purchasing a premium milestone. And crate coupons (which are usuable on any crate) replaced some specific crates as rewards.
MP Lobby – In our Season 5 blog we mentioned that this season there would be a new background for the MP lobby. This was an error, but it is still coming in a future update. However, it is tied to a specific new map, which is meant to come out in a future season.

Battle Royale Updates
Throughout 2022 we have been talking about how this year Battle Royale will be getting some new features, general improvements, and overall, more love. Like Season 4, Season 6 is another season where we focused on bringing an all-new gameplay experience to Battle Royale. This time instead of facing the storm and nature head-on, you get to conquer it in the brand-new Battle Royale vehicle the Jackal.
Become an Ace pilot, dominating the Skies in the Jackal. In addition to being fast, faster than anything current vehicle in Battle Royale, the Jackal comes equipped with missiles, flares, and an automatic cannon. And if you would rather just be along for the ride, the Jackal can fit a pilot and a passenger. Each Jackal will start the Battle Royale match parked on a landing strip and marked with the Jet icon on the map. There are bound to be other players dropping into the landing strips for their chance at the Jackal so make sure you are extra quick! From there you can speedily fly to a high-tier loot area or just eliminate your enemies from above, however, be wary because the Jackal isn’t the only new addition to Battle Royale…
We’ve also added Anti-aircraft weapons to the Battle Royale map. If you get motion sick, are afraid of heights, or just prefer your feet on solid ground, the Anti-aircraft Weapons are for you! The perfect counter to those who choose to go to the skies in their Jackals. If you find yourself in the crosshairs of a Jackal be sure and find one of these new Battle Royale weapons quickly.

New Weapons
Two new weapons have come to Call of Duty Mobile the new SMG KSP 45 and the new pistol L-CAR 9. These two weapons are built for close-range combat and will be perfect for patrolling the streets and alleys of Favela. The KSP 45 and the L-CAR 9 will be earnable through the Battle Pass and Seasonal Challenges respectively. More details on these two weapons below –
New Weapon – KSP 45
This KSP 45 is available at tier 21 in the free pathway of the Season 6: To The Skies Battle Pass, with the Epic blueprint version KSP 45 – Oxidate available at tier 50 of the premium pass. This SMG, first seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, is a burst-fire weapon which means it will handle much differently from the other SMGs currently in Call of Duty: Mobile. Like other SMGs, the KSP 45 has high mobility with a fast fire rate, with extremely high damage in close-range encounters. The KSP 45’s burst shoots three bullets, hitting an enemy at close range with all three will eliminate them, and hitting an enemy’s head or chest with only two will also eliminate them. This weapon’s effectiveness drops off quickly in longer-range combat so choose your battles wisely. We will have a tutorial video showcasing the KSP 45 and recommended builds on our YouTube channel so be sure and subscribe to see!
New Weapon – L-CAR 9
The L-CAR 9 is earnable through the first Seasonal Challenge of Season 6: To The Skies – Too Close For Comfort. This pistol is fully automatic and comes to Call of Duty: Mobile from Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Being a full-auto pistol means using this weapon in combat will be different than your other pistols in your arsenal, which combined with the L-CAR 9’s high-capacity magazine, makes this pistol comparable to primary weapons in close-range combat. Like the KSP 45, the L-CAR 9 has a significant drop-off in deadliness ranged combat because of the low range and accuracy of the weapon. We will be posting a tutorial video on our YouTube account for this weapon as well so keep an eye out for that!
**Seasonal Challenges **
Much like any new season, Season 6: To The Skies has all new challenges for you all to complete to earn some sweet rewards. We’ll cover the first Seasonal Challenge that’s live in-game now but be sure and keep an eye out for more Seasonal Challenge information in future Community Updates as a new challenge will be released every week.
Too Close For Comfort
The first Seasonal Challenge will have you getting nice and close to your enemies in MP matches, using Operator Skills, Pistols, and even the new L-CAR 9 pistol. Completing this Seasonal challenge will earn you 14,000 Battle Pass XP as well as the following from the mission itself:
• Charm – MG Can (Rare)
• KRM-262 – Vinyl Wrapped (Rare)
• L-CAR 9 – New Weapon
• Special Ops 1 – Pitch Black Shard (Epic)
New MP Map – Favela
We consistently see requests from the Community to bring older COD content to Call of Duty: Mobile, and with Favela, we are able to do just that. First seen in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then again in Call of Duty: Ghosts Favela is coming to Call of Duty: Mobile. Get ready to go from the jungles of Apocalypse to the streets of Brazil because this map is launching tomorrow 6/30 at 5 PM PT.
Soon you’ll be able to explore the sunny streets of Favela, including dark alleys, bright rooftops, and of course the soccer field. This map is medium-sized and has the classic COD three-lane layout. The left lane has lots of buildings, stairs, and obstacles making for varied close-combat encounters, as well as the soccer field in case you need a quick break 😉. The right lane has less shelter with players mostly fighting over control of two roads which leads to more medium and long-range combat. The central lane is the lane your team needs to control if you want to dominate in Favela. This lane has a complex network of connected rooftops where players can attack enemies from above. Check it out yourself in-game tomorrow and in the meantime take a look around the map in the flythrough below:

Draws
Before diving into the first draw of the season below, we wanted to touch on a few unique draw offerings happening in-game right now! The first of which is a re-run of the Damned to Life Mythic Drop. We often see players in the community asking when certain Mythics will come back to the CODM store, so we decided to bring a second mythic drop at the end of S5 that will continue into S6. Because this is the first time we are releasing two Mythic Drop re-runs/Reduxes in one season, there are still adjustments and tweaks needed to be done by the team, so the Damned to Life Mythic Drop re-run isn’t available to all of our players (most players will have access though). If it isn’t available to you, don’t fret as there will be another Mythic Redux added later in Season 6.
The second unique draw system we wanted to call out is the Arsenal Assembly Event where you are able to create your own draw. In this event, players can select one option from a choice of three for each of the ten tiers in a draw. Once the selections are made you can lock in your choices and draw from the curated draw as you would a normal draw. You can make up to three customized draws from this event from now until the event ends on 07/04 UTC.
Heaven’s Lance Draw
The first draw of the season will feature Nyx – Dragoon and the legendary M13 – Liminal Flare. Carry out godly justice with this noble Nyx Epic Operator and their sleek M13 that has a fiery kill effect sent straight from the heavens.
One new feature coming to legendary weapons this season is the ability to preview FOV and FOV Range in FPP while inspecting your legendary weapon in the draw. This is only available for legendary weapons and only those legendary weapons released in S6. Check out this new feature when the Heaven’s Lance draw goes live 7/2 UTC.
Summer Sale
Summer is here, which means hitting the beach, barbeques, and most notably our Summer Sale. Starting on 7/3 UTC and running until 7/14 UTC, the Summer Sale will feature discounts on past Crates, Draws, and Bundles. Players will be able to save up to 35% on these items during this sale so be sure and check it out between BR matches at the beach. The following Crates, Draws, and Bundles will be in the sale –
• Cobalt Steel Crate
• Molten Fusion Redux Draw
• Break on the Beach Crate
• The Space Between Bundle
• Beachcomber Crate
• Cloaked Huntsman Crate
• Deep Dweller Crate
• Glowing Green Crate
• Rising Tides Draw
• Pitch Black Crate
Support Options
It’s a new season which means we’re likely to see some new bugs. As always we appreciate all of you who take the time to report these bugs in our Community spaces. Our teams are regularly monitoring those, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to report any issue (big or small) and helps make the game better for everyone.
Lastly, outside of community channels, which are not great options for individual bugs just affecting you, our two main two official support options are below:

Mode Optimization
HP Mode Spawn Location Optimization
In the last release, we optimized the spawn location on some of the maps in HP Mode. However, a few logic and layout issues led to several unintended and unreasonable respawn situations (e.g., Slums and Miami Strike). After locating and fixing the problems on the corresponding maps, we have evaluated and diagnosed the remaining maps in HP Mode. We will continue to optimize the respawn experience in subsequent releases and hope our fighters to have a better combat experience in HP Mode.
Maps that received optimizations are as follows:
Slums, Miami Strike, Summit, Nuketown, Raid, Hackney Yard, Takeoff, and Standoff.
Ranked Match Update
We have increased the Rank XP for the MVP of the losing team in the MP Ranked Match, especially for players below the Legendary rank tier.
Battle Royale Update
New Vehicle - Jackal
New Feature
Anti-Air Guns
• In Battle Royale, the Anti-Air Guns are deployed around the town! These Anti-Air Guns can be used to target and attack land vehicles and air units.
• Since each Anti-Air contains only four missiles, turrets with unused missiles will display a tracker indicator.
• Anti-Air will self-destruct in a short period of time after all its missiles are used.
Other Optimization
• Optimized the prompt UI of being down and collecting dog tags.
• Optimized the SFX of being down and collecting dog tags.
New Weapon
New Primary Weapon
KSP 45：Three-round burst submachine gun with low rate of fire, but high burst damage at medium/close range.
New Secondary Weapon
L-CAR 9：Lightweight, full-auto pistol with high mag capacity. High burst damage comparable to a primary weapon at close range, but lower mobility compared with other pistols.
