Greetings everyone! It has only been a short while since our last community update and as we said in that post there is a public test build coming sometime this week. Well, it is already here! This one comes with new features and content from Season 6 and before you ask it does not contain anything related to the upcoming zombies mode. We are specifically keeping that one under the hood and will reveal it separately as we get closers to its inevitable release.

Here are all of the details below:

  • Begins today on July 13th
  • Test end date TBD
  • Available for Android and iOS devices
  • Downloadable via APK here:
    • 7/15 - All links closed since registration limit has been hit.
  • Download Size: 2 gigabytes, Wifi connection is highly recommended
  • Player Registration Limit: 30,000 (about 10K per link)
  • Content suited for ages 16+
  • All information and player data collected during this test will be deleted

As per usual, everything you see in the build may not be final, may be buggy, may have placeholder art or text, or may not be releasing in the next update. Sometimes content we are testing is for the next season or it could be potentially be for two seasons from now. However, here are a few pieces of content you can look forward to trying out in this build:

  • New MP Map – Slums
  • New MP Map – Stacks
  • New Operator Skills, Scorestreaks, perks, and grenade types
  • Various optimizations to BR
  • Various UI changes and improvements

If you run into any issues downloading the build make sure you have a significant amount of extra space on your phone (at least twice the size of the download) and also ensure that the entire time you were downloading the build it was on a secure wireless connection. Outside of that, we don't have a lot of support options since it is a test build but we'll monitor for any widespread issues.

Lastly, for anyone who does participate please take the in-game survey to help us get data, feedback, and reports based on this build. It will all goes towards helping us release better future versions of Call of Duty: Mobile! A huge thank you to everyone who does participate and we hope you enjoy getting a sneak peak at some upcoming content.

Slums! Thank you devs! I've wanted this map for a long time. Btw do you have any plans for gunsmith improvements such as better attachments, hybrid optics, thermals etc?

you are welcome! Hope you like it and can try it out a bit, find any issues (like out of map glitches), and let us know before we drop it to the whole playerbase. Also, yeah most of our Gunsmith improvements right now are focused updating individual parts season over season, which is basically just being done in the background, but we aren't aware of any brand-new attachments like hybrid optics or thermal coming. We know those are a common request though and will try to highlight them if we see them in development!

Can you tell us exactly what "Various optimizations to BR" contains? Like optimizations matchmaking-wise, performance-wise or what?

Mostly around the map actually! Like different areas of the map have been updated, but we don't have the specifics of exactly what and where at the moment. We'll see if we can snag that more specific info for you though.

Probably reskins, but no, not the first one released in this game

Yeah that's pretty accurate. Generally we don't bring back the original unless it is from a draw, crate or bundles, and we also do not bring back anything from a Battle Pass, like the original Mara operator skin/variant.

Alright, thank you for the quick answer!

Alright, so it isn't just "the map" per say but also some optimizations coming over from the Chinese version of the CODM, like grass enhancement and other changes from that version (not the health system though).

what about the randomized high res textures on low settings?

those need Optimization too especially the Characters textures its the main couse of blackscreen since some phone GPU cant keep up with it

There are specifically performance optimizations in this one, but that's one of those that types of improvements that we can't really define further than that at the moment. Hope you get to check it out though and see if it helps with performance on your device.

And that's your huge plans for BR and so called HUge content for BR in S6 lmfaoooooooooo

Well it was expected

It is BR adjacent, but we'll talk more about it later! Nothing huge like that in this test build, more just normal seasonal content plus plenty of smaller tweaks and improvements.

Speaking on Chinese version synchronization.. Can we get the graphics of Chinese version br ??? Again thanks for the test server Devs

Some of that is coming over in this next update actually (and in the test build). It is hard to say exactly how much of that at the moment, but we plan to highlight all of those cross-over changes or improvements as a part of the Season 6 patch notes.

By any chance we can get more options for account security as many players have lost their accounts after the recent updates. Pls give a reply about this. Also what can those players expect who have lost their accounts during or after the recent update. As losing an account due to updating the game is an rare or unusual occurrence I believe.

Pls give an update about this.

Thanks for all the work going on around the game. And thanks in advance for this update

Heya, yeah we see those often unfortunately and it is a very complicated problem. For one, what account are you referring to? Activision accounts? Because for Call of Duty: Mobile you can use five different platforms (at least) to link your account to the game as your primary login.

While we do have reports of players running into issues with ATVI accounts being compromised, there are also plenty from Facebook and Google in particular. For ATVI accounts there are improvements continually being worked on to add more layers of security, like the recently added Two Factor Authentication, but for the most part all we can do is encourage that players use all of those security options to make their accounts as secure as possible.

Lastly, if you've already lost your account you should utilize the account recovery options of any given area. We do have ways to do that through our Player Support portal for Activision accounts and all other platforms have some form of that too.

Just barely, legendary Ghost is so close!

Just some feedback/a question about these test builds: is it possible to remove the tutorial portion, or have an option to skip it? Might help with file size, and sometimes it can be annoying to get through.

Heya, unfortunately no. Absolutely get that though and our team runs into the same annoyance when we are doing internal tests all of the time. Basically, if we remove that it affects other parts of the game and makes the build too different compared to "live" build that will be coming later for everyone. It could have have cascading effects where an issue only occurs because of something related to that tutorial system, but no one caught it because we removed it from the test.

Most likely in two days! Just depends on how fast we can get back to writing that after all of this public test build fun.

Can anyone please tell me that what is the difference between 64 bit and 32 bit?and which should I download?

Heya, it is basically just for different types of devices and what you think yours can handle. If you currently play and generally use mid-lower graphical settings we'd recommend the 32 bit, it should perform better with lower end devices. However, if you have a high-end device that can run everything well then the 64 bit version is your best choice.

For me it is showing download configuration failed how to fix it, I downloaded the test server two minutes after the post

Greetings, where are you seeing that one? Is the completed file saying that once you finish? Also, which version are you downloading?

I downloaded the test but it says download configuration failed even though my internet is fast what can i do

Sorry to sound like a robot from the other post we just replied to about this, but where are you seeing that at? After the file is fully downloaded, during the download, or when you try to launch it after installation? Also, which version did you download?

Hey Devs, What are the plans for the future? Will you give us something new next year? Any hints to what we can look forward to?

Next year? We'll give you plenty of new things still this year

However, no hints at any of that at the moment. Not without a lot of people getting upset at us and taking away our keys to Reddit.

Even I am one of them who lost their accounts while updating. My account was a Google login account. In my reddit posts I have given full details of my account. I tried using the player support portal but majorly has options for those who linked their accounts with Activision. So by any chance if we can get our accounts back?

Sorry to hear that. In that case you should be able to go through Google's account recovery system, recover that, and then use that again to log back into Call of Duty: Mobile? Or are you saying you were also using an Activision account? If so, did you identify which account seems to be compromised and secure it before you lost access?

Actually I am from India and I just applied Singapore VPN and it worked, thank you for showing concern towards my issue though, much love codm team

So, for whatever reason, to your point, there always seems to be some of those issues with that exact error in India. VPN always seems to solve that problem, but we continually run into that with these test builds and it doesn't make any sense since that is clearly not an issue with the live version of the game.

It was a Google linked account. I did not link it with Activision as I didn't know how to do that at that time

Ah, no worries. Does that mean you still have access to your Google account then or lost access to that? If you lost access you should follow up with them through their account recovery process.

Update 7/15 - We've already hit 30K registrations you crazy wonderful people! We should have another test build coming later for anyone that missed this one.

Yes, it should! We'll have some info about that before Season 6 releases or alongside that Season 6 release post.
