New MP Map - Express
Hop on the nostalgia train, Express is now boarding all passengers in Call of Duty: Mobile! Since first being released in Call of Duty: Black Ops II this map has been a community favorite. We have seen the community ask for older maps, weapons, and content and we hope this map scratches that itch! Set in Los Angeles, Express is a bullet train station complete with small corridors, rooms inside the station, and the bullet train itself outside. And yes, the train moves so look both ways before crossing those train tracks because this train isn’t stopping for anyone.
The inside of the station is primed for close quarters-combat, with a variety of rooms and corridors to weave through to chase or lose your opponents. While the outside area on the train tracks has longer sight lines, more suitable for long-distance fighting. With plenty of new locations to explore within the map like Terminal, Platform, and Ticketing, this map will give players plenty of new ways to engage and fight. To see how this new MP Map looks in-game check out our Express Flythrough below –

New Functional Weapons
ZRG 20mm
Available at tier 21 on the free side of the Battle Pass is the newest sniper coming to Call of Duty: Mobile – the ZRG 20mm. This bolt-action sniper rifle comes to Mobile from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Compared to the other snipers that we already have in the game, the ZRG 20mm has a fast bullet velocity but that is balanced with a slow fire rate. You can equip the Anti-vehicle mag which, as the name suggests, does more damage to vehicles. The ZRG 20mm is basically a one-shot elimination for a lot of range, so while the reload speeds are slow, your shots will be deadly. But that works both ways, if you see your enemy has a ZRG 20mm equipped and they miss you, you better eliminate them before they can get a second shot off. As mentioned above this sniper is available in the Battle Pass free section as the base version, with the epic version ZRG 20mm – Jade being available at tier 50 in the premium Battle Pass.
Butterfly Knife
We haven’t had a new melee weapon in Call of Duty: Mobile in a couple of seasons, but now the wait is over – the Butterfly Knife is arriving this season. First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, The Butterfly Knife will be earnable from the Knife to Meet You seasonal challenge which launches 9/15 UTC and runs through the end of the season. Once unlocked players will be able to eliminate their enemies both in stealth and style with this knife. The knife will also be available in Legendary form in a draw later this season but more info on that later.
New BR Class – Igniter
A new BR Class has arrived in Call of Duty: Mobile – Igniter. This class is available at tier 14 in the free Battle Pass and will have you getting plenty more Ws in BR by way of fire. Lay down fiery traps with tar that will slow and burn your enemies if they dare walk into them. If they do you will also gain a boosted speed bonus. And as the master of these fiery pits, they won’t harm you, instead, you will receive added resistance to fire and explosion damage while standing in them. The Igniter class is in the Defense category of Battle Royale classes which means its passive perk is reduced explosive damage and reduced impact of negative statuses.
New MP Perk – Spycraft
Coming to Call of Duty: Mobile is a new perk for MP – Spycraft. Hack your enemy’s equipment with this perk coming to COD Mobile in the Utility of Spies Seasonal Challenge launching 9/22 UTC. With this perk equipped you will be able to interfere with enemy equipment including Trophy Systems, Trip Mines, SAM Turret, Sentry Turret, Transform Shield, and Munitions Box. After you are done hacking the player’s equipment the equipment will become usable.
Seasonal Challenges
Sneaky Battles
The first Seasonal Challenge of Season 8: Train to Nowhere is Sneaky Battles. This challenge will have you playing both BR and MP, dealing damage, eliminating enemies, winning, and even traveling in a vehicle. But you better be sneaky because the last task of the Challenge is placing in a top spot in BR, so make sure and finish those matches strong. Completing this challenge will earn you 11,000 Battle Pass XP and the following rewards -
- Manta Ray – Black Gold SHARD (Epic)
- Kilo 141 – Teal Forest (Rare)
Knife to Meet You
Sharpen those knives because the second Seasonal Challenge will be here on 9/15 UTC. This challenge will have you – which you may have guessed – using melee weapons in MP. Tasks include eliminating enemies with melee weapons, earning the Backstabber medal, and lastly using the new Butterfly Knife. Completing all of these tasks will earn you 14,000 Battle Pass XP as well as the following
- Crossbow – Teal Forest (Rare)
- KSP 45 – Broken Dreams (Epic)

Butterfly Knife
An exquisite flip-action knife that gracefully displays the user's full capability. Its sheath becomes a handle when unfolding.
Balance Adjustment
Multiplayer & Battle Royale
The strength of the KSP 45 has shown us the great potential of the burst guns in the current release. It's time to bring these diverse burst guns back to the battleground!
Swordfish Buffed
Fire Interval between Bursts: Reduced
Hip-fire Bullet Spread: Increased (MP Only)
ADS Speed: Increased
Halberd Mag
Fire Interval In Burst: Reduced
Pharo Buffed
Pharo has great potential in damage, even better than the ksp45 in its heyday. However, its strange trajectory makes it difficult to get started. We have greatly improved its recoil control and appropriately reduced its range, making its risk and profit more controllable.
Recoil: Reduced
Range: Reduced
Chicom Buffed
Damage Multiplier: Increased
Oden Buffed
Oden remains unchanged while other Assault Rifles with low fire rates have been buffed in the recent releases. We have slightly reduced its recoil and increased its range to ensure its strength.
Recoil: Reduced
Range: Increased
PPSh-41 Buffed
Horizontal Recoil: Reduced
Chopper Buffed
Chopper is an LMG with high hip-fire accuracy and mobility. However, its short range and low penetration limit the suppression capability that LMGs are known for. Therefore, we have buffed its ADS accuracy, damage, and range.
ADS Accuracy: Increased
Damage: Increased
Range: Increased
QXR Buffed
QXR was nerfed heavily a while back and since then, it hasn’t been able to compete with mainstream weapons. Therefore, we want to bring it back to its normal strength.
Damage: Increased
KRM-262 Buffed
In the last adjustment, we improved the benefit of KRM-262’s central pellet hits. However, the average damage of non-precision shots was reduced, which makes it unreliable in high-intensity combat.
Therefore, we have adjusted its damage and pellet allocation to improve its fault tolerance of non-precision shots.
Damage: Increased
Range: Increased
Hip-fire Central Pellets Spread: Reduced
JAK-12 Nerfed
JAK-12 now exceeds the expected suppression capability after a round of buffs in the Shotgun class. Therefore, we have reduced its effective range to make the players more careful in selecting it.
Damage Multiplier: Reduced
Range: Reduced
MX9 Buffed
MX9 is extremely low in its strength for its low damage and hard control after previously being nerfed. After the adjustments, we hope to bring it back to its normal strength.
Damage: Increased
Adjusted the damage/range/damage multiplier in Battle Royale to be all the same with MP mode.
LK24 Buffed
Its high accuracy and stability at medium and long range didn't attract the players during the current release. It's time to reward the soldiers with precision shot ability. (Not available in Zombies Mode)
Get-Hit Flinch: Reduced
Damage Multiplier: Increased
HG 40 Buffed
Compared with other SMGs, HG 40 is weak in the fire rate and it cannot exert its advantage. After the adjustments, we hope its effective combat range can go back to the mainstream level to enable the players to make full use of it. (Not available in Zombies Mode)
Range: Increased
Damage Multiplier: Increased
AK-47 Buffed
This classic weapon is significantly popular in BR but not that popular in MP. Therefore, we have increased its damage multiplier to improve its strength to the mainstream level.
Damage Multiplier: Increased
Multiplayer
Operator Skill
Reactor Core Nerfed
Damage Radius: Reduced
Activate Energy Needed: Increased
Energy Recovery Rate: Reduced
Gravity Spikes Buffed
Energy Recovery Rate: Increased

Damage Radius: Increased
Molotov c*cktail Buffed
Duration: Increased
Echo Grenade Buffed
Detect Radius: Increased
Battle Royale
SVD Buffed
We noticed that the players have limited choices of Snipers with a medium fire rate in BR. It's time to bring a new choice for combat at medium and long distances in BR.
Range of First Stage: Increased
Damage Multiplier: Increased
Base Vertical Recoil: Reduced
Type 25 Buffed
Range: Increased
Damage: Increased
GKS Buffed
Range: Increased
CR-56 AMAX Buffed
Compared to other Assault Rifles with a medium fire rate, the damage of CR-56 AMAX is relatively low. Therefore, we increased its damage by putting it in a more balanced place.
Damage: Increased
HVK-30 Nerfed
After being buffed twice, especially in MP mode, HVK-30 is now too powerful in BR combat at medium range. Therefore, we have adjusted its damage penetration in Battle Royale.
Range: Adjusted
Base Damage: Adjusted
Adjustment of the Class Skill
Clown Buffed
Recharge Speed: Increased
Tracking Range: Increased
Airborne Buffed
Recharge Speed: Increased
Support - Profession Passive Skill Nerfed
