Call Of Duty Mobile Update Adds New Season Pass Today

The latest season of Call of Duty Mobile has kicked off, featuring loads of changes and new additions in a western-themed update.

Comments

Call of Duty Mobile has just started its new season, a western-themed update it's calling Once Upon a Time in Rust. The season includes new maps, modes, and events alongside a slate of new bug fixes in the latest patch notes.

The new season pass is available today, April 30, and certain elements were live earlier. For one, the fan-favorite map Rust from Modern Warfare 2 has been added as the featured map for this season. Another map, the Saloon map, will come in mid-May and introduce a new 1v1 Duel mode. The new mode will also be available in Killhouse, and Saloon will also be playable in 2v2 Showdown.

Now Playing: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Update Adds Gunsmith Customs & More - GS News Update

The classic Capture the Flag mode will also be added in early May, with a bit of Old West flavor. Rather than capturing a flag, you'll be trying to claim a big chest full of gold. Kill Confirmed is also due in early May.

Events are being revised and will fall into distinct categories: Featured, Seasonal, and Daily. You'll also be able to claim your daily rewards from a monthly calendar, which gives you 24 days to collect all your goodies. This first set of rewards will include some new western-themed weapon variants.

The Battle Pass is also being revised for this season, removing specific player tasks and instead awarding progression for simply playing the game as normal to earn XP towards your progression. The Battle Pass for this season will also include a new Operator Skill called Annihilator, which lets you take out an enemy in a single shot if you aim for center-mass. A new Battle Royale class called Poltergeist is coming in late May, centered around stealth. And a Cryo Bomb is coming in mid-May

Check out the full patch notes below, and check out the recent patch notes for its PC and console relative, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
