Safeguard
Safeguard is the newest MP mode to come to Call of Duty: Mobile. Originally seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, this new mode is available now with the season launch and will be live through 8/17 UTC.
In Safeguard players will be broken up into two teams. The offensive team will be tasked with escorting the robot (a modified version of the operator Reaper) to the extraction point along a predetermined path. Reaper can be moved along its path by the offensive team when they are in the near vicinity of the robot. The defensive team will be tasked with stopping the offensive team and Reaper from reaching its goal. The defending team can stall Reaper by damaging the robot and stop the robot's process by eliminating enemy players, so they are not too close to Reaper.
Community Choice Playlists
Last month we asked the Community to vote for their favorite maps and modes, both new and old. We took that information and made two “Community Choice Playlists” launching this season.
The first of these two playlists will run from 8/8 to 8/14 UTC and have the following maps and modes:
- Maps: Nuketown, Firing Range, Standoff, Rush, Diesel, and Armada
- Mode: Hardpoint
The second Community Choice Playlist will run from 8/22 through 8/28 UTC and have the following maps and modes:
- Search & Rescue
We hope to make more of these playlists going forward, so if you didn’t get to vote or your favorite map or mode wasn’t chosen, be sure and keep an eye out for next time!

Can’t Stop the Signal
Live now along with the launch of the season is the first seasonal challenge – Can't Stop the Signal.

Mode Update
[NEW MODE] Safeguard
Safeguard introduction:
-Escort team: Do your best to escort Robot to a destination in a limited time
-Defense team: Prevent the enemy robot from entering the territory
-Robot is powered by energy, so it will be activated automatically. And it will be activated faster if defenders are around it.
-When the Robot is activated, it will move forward along the designated paths.
-The Robot's energy will be depleted when it takes damage. If it runs out of all the energy, the Robot will automatically shut down and need to be rebooted.

----- Tournament Updates -----
Rewards Wheel
For a long time, we have observed that COD Points rewards of the Tournament leaderboard are difficult for most players to obtain. We hope that all players participating in the Tournament can have the opportunity to obtain COD Point rewards, not just limited to a small number of leading players. Therefore, we have added a Lottery System in Tournament:
· This system includes rewards such as COD Points, Tournament Winner Crate, and Credits. (COD Points are limited so it will refresh weekly.)
· After completing the Free Milestone and Premium Milestone, players will get the chances for drawing rewards
· The original COD Points rewards in the leaderboard will be replaced by multiple draws, which will be issued with the settlement of the rankings in leaderboard (other honorary rewards will be retained.)
· Draws will expire on every Wednesday.
----- Other Updates -----
· Added the Mistouch Prevention mode: when enabled, accidental touch to the screen edge will be ignored when there are multiple touches.
· Added Secondary Fire mode: when enabled, weapons such as the Launcher will auto-fire immediately.

· Optimized the Hot Recommendations in Weapon Set Recommendation. Now the weapon set used for the most time in the modes will be recommended to players.
· Optimized the optic sight of Switchblade X9 - Neon Legend
· Added the feature of adjusting vertical sensitivity, ground vehicle sensitivity and air vehicle sensitivity.
· Fixed the bug that in the player profile page it showed Top 5000 Legendary players as Legendary players.
Balance Adjustment
NEW FEATURE
There were some issues in previous Get-Hit Flinch mechanism:
For all weapons, no matter in terms of Fire Rate or Damage, the Get-Hit Flinch is the same, which makes it a huge advantage to the weapons of higher Fire Rate.
All weapons share the relatively fast recoil recovery in hip fire, so it does not make sense to have Get-Hit Flinch while hip firing or aiming down the sight.
To resolve these issues, we're bringing a new Get-Hit Flinch mechanism.
- Changing the Get-Hit Flinch mechanism.
The recovery mechanism of Get-Hit Flinch is now independent of the recoil recovery - Get-Hit Flinch received while hip firing or ADS'ing will not disappear quickly due to the hip fire recovery.
- Added a new attribute: Bullet Impact
Now, Get-Hit Flinch will no longer just be affected by the receiver's weapon, bullet impact from the attacking weapon will also influence the Get-Hit Flinch.
Calculation: Impact coefficient of Attacking weapon X Get-Hit Flinch of Receiver weapon
We'll keep monitoring the stability of this new feature.
The Bullet Impact will be further balanced in further version releases. (e.g Weapons of lower fire rate may bring more powerful bullet impacts.)
