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 -

Crossover Draw
Now live in-game, the groovy Crossover Draw has arrived and will have you Rock N’ Roll-ing all game long!
https://reddit.com/link/tzftur/video/zzcal1pkyds81/player
Rock your enemies with the first Legendary version of the new functional weapon, the MAC-10 – Atomic Star. Defeating your enemies with this unique death effect will turn them into a bumping stereo, which keeps the party going all game long.
N’ Roll through matches with Artery – Jammer, getting win after win after win. This roller derby-inspired Epic version of Artery will lead you to victory in the roller rink or outside it. Check out Artery, the new Legendary MAC-10, and more of the items you can get from this draw here:
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: Contact Us
This week we would like to highlight u/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 u/LiShDranthon go check them out on their Twitter - @LiShDranthon! And be sure and see Urban Tracker in action below -
