Zombies Classic
No more teasers, no more mystery, Zombies Are Back for Season 9! Zombies Classic returns to Call of Duty: Mobile this season with the fan-favorite map Shi No Numa. The gameplay will be very familiar to those who played the classic Zombies mode that was originally in our game, player will load into Shi No Numa with nothing more than a pistol and knife and have to get survive the hoard, eliminating enemies to gain coins to purchase weapons and upgrades. We have made some optimizations to the mode including players now can choose to have an initial active skill that will come with two passive skills. We have also optimized the balance of weapons in the mode as well as the Zombie waves.
And yes, Classic Zombies is a limited-time mode. However, like our LTMs in the past, the longevity of this mode depends on you - our community. So if you all love it (which we are pretty sure you will) let us know by playing it, giving us feedback, and defeating the horde! We will share more concrete info about the future of Zombies when we have more details, but for now, we hope you all are as pumped as us to hop back in and grind those rounds.

New Weapon - Krig 6
Now available at tier 21 in the free path of the Battle Pass is the new functional weapon, the Krig 6. First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War the Krig 6 is a versatile AR most effective at medium range. The Krig 6 has high mobility and stability for an AR with an effective headshot multiplier. As with most weapons in Call of Duty: Mobile you will be able to mix and match attachments on this weapon to get the build that fits your style! To see one recommended build we have check out the image below -
In addition to the base version of this weapon at tier 21, an Epic version of the weapon – the Krig 6 – Earth’s Crust – is available at tier 50 of the premium Battle Pass. And…there might be another version of the weapon available later in the season.
New Lethal – C4
The latest lethal equipment to come to Call of Duty: Mobile is the beloved and sometimes cursed C4. Available at tier 14 in the free Battle Pass, C4 has been in a ton of Call of Duty games through the years, and I’m sure every one of us has a fond memory of using it to blow up a vehicle and a matching rage inducing memory of getting blown up from a C4. This lethal equipment can be thrown by players and the C4 will then stick to the object it touches. Players can then strategically use a remote control to trigger detonate the C4 to either give you time to perfectly time your explosion or just to give yourself enough time to clear the area.
We will be hosting a tutorial video of this new lethal equipment on our YouTube channel later this season so be sure and keep an eye out if you want to learn different ways to utilize C4 to its full potential.
Haunted Hacienda
What is spookier than a Haunted House? The vineyard estate in the Spanish countryside has gotten a full spooktacular makeover for Halloween. Introducing Haunted Hacienda, the newest map reskin coming to Call of Duty: Mobile. Pumpkins, Ghosts, and more have filled the mansion with something scary hiding around every corner (hopefully for your sake not campers). Despite these changes, the general structure of the map has stayed the same. Haunted Hacienda still has a classic Call of Duty three-lane layout, with large outdoor spaces for long-range combat and tight indoor corridors for close-quarter encounters.
Haunted Hacienda will be coming to Call of Duty: Mobile in the Haunted Hacienda 24/7 MP playlist which will be launching 10/28 UTC. So you all have plenty of time to get your courage up and enter our new haunted house if you dare!
Seasonal Challenges
Fun in the Stun
The third first Seasonal Challenge of the season launches along with the Season and is live now in-game! Fun in the Stun will have you completing tasks to show you are a master of the SMG. Tasks include defeating enemies with an SMG, defeating enemies with the Pharo SMG, winning matches with the Pharo SMG equipped, and more! This Seasonal Challenge is also the pathway to unlock the new signature attachment for the Pharo SMG, the Underbarrell Stun Gun. Completing the tasks of this Seasonal challenge will also earn you 14,000 Battle Pass XP and the following items -
- Frame – Beachside Board (Rare)
- QQ9 – Anime Kitty (Rare)
- Charm – Skull Vertebrae (Rare)
- Underbarrell Stun Gun
Ranked
In the past, our Ranked seasons have lasted two seasons before resetting and starting a new Ranked season. This Ranked series however is lasting through three total seasons, which means extending it through this Season, Season 9. Our Rank reset has traditionally been tied to our major in-game updates (seasons we have PBT for) which happens usually every two seasons. However, many of you may have noticed no PBT and no major update in S9 which means a couple of things. First is the continuation of Ranked, which we will detail below, but also means that we have a lot coming in Season 10!
Because Ranked is lasting an extra Season we have added the Reporting For Duty featured event where players can play either Ranked MP or BR matches to earn Ranked Exchange Tokens. These Tokens can then be used in the new Ranked Market where players can exchange the tokens for different rewards. The rewards players will be able to purchase with Ranked Exchange tokens are –
- CBR4 – Pink Neko (Epic)
- Calling Card – Pink Neko (Epic)
- Frame – Pink Neko (Epic)
- AK117 – Anime Kitty (Rare)
- KRM-262 – Anime Kitty (Rare)
- PPSh-41 – Anime Kitty (Rare)
- Butterfly Knife – Anime Kitty (Rare)
3rd Anniversary
A couple of weeks ago Call of Duty: Mobile turned 3! Our third anniversary came and went and no we didn’t forget! We have a ton of celebrations planned for the game and our community most of which will be tied to Season 10. We know many of you are eager to celebrate our third anniversary, and we are too, but Season 10 will be here before you know it. And while we will have many heartful words of thanks and joy in Season 10, we did want to take a moment now to truly thank each and every one of you for being part of this simply amazing Community and making Call of Duty: Mobile the game it is. Without you all there is no third anniversary <3.
