Looking Ahead for Call of Duty: Mobile 2023

Before we dive into the rest of the usual Community Update details, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your passion, engagement, and support for Call of Duty: Mobile in 2022. This game wouldn’t be what it is without this amazing Community, let alone be thriving over 3 years after its initial launch. In fact, with all of your help, 2022 was a banner year for CODM, and we plan on making 2023 even better.

As this is the first Community Update of 2023, we wanted to share an early look at some of the key areas the team will be focusing on over the next year.

General Gameplay – in addition to maintaining our three game modes of Multiplayer, Battle Royale, and Zombies; we will continue to have regular seasonal updates with new game modes and maps. We also plan on expanding on the popular MP game modes like Ground War and Super Attack of the Undead, as well as continuing to explore new modes to bring more fun to our players. More info on new modes will be available closer to when they are launching in game!

Competitive Gameplay – the team plans on continuing to optimize Ranked mode throughout 2023, adjusting the map rotation and bringing in new rewards for each Ranked season. One update to Ranked is the addition of Elite Missions – which we will talk about below – where players can get extra rewards for being the elite of the elite in Ranked mode. Tournaments is another area that the team is planning on continuing to optimize and bring fresh new rewards to.

Weapon Optimizations – Since November of last year the team has been consistently adjusting the way weapons feel and sound when firing and damaging enemies. The team will be continually optimizing this aspect of the game to make CODM even more immersive.

Battle Pass – In addition to new Battle Passes arriving seasonally in 2023, because we are now in our fourth year of Call of Duty: Mobile there have been a ton of Battle Passes that players either missed out on or didn’t have a chance to finish. The team plans on continuing to support our new Battle Pass Vault feature to bring back some of the favorite Battle Passes of the past to current players.

Cheating – COD:M has always been strict in anti-cheating, anti-hacking, and anti-abuse and will continue to do so. In the future, the team plans on optimizing keyboard and mouse monitoring as well as voice recognition to create a healthy and fair gaming environment.

Bug Fixes – Crashes, latency issues, and game size are high-priority issues that are always front of mind and being worked on. The team also plans on implementing adaptability for more devices and enabling high frame rate settings for more devices in the future.

Ultimately, Call of Duty: Mobile is a game we all love. This is true for our Community, for us, and for Activision as a whole. Together we will continue to make COD:M the amazing game it is, has been, and will continue to be.

Thank you again for all of your support and we look forward to an amazing 2023 <3.

  • Backpack – Jungle Beast (Epic)

  • + 10% Player XP
  • + 10% Weapon XP

New Weapon – Dingo
Now available at tier 21 in the free path of the Battle Pass is the new functional weapon, the Dingo. First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops III the Dingo is a full-auto light machine gun with a fast fire rate with moderate recoil control. This LMG has a higher mobility than most of the LMGs currently in Call of Duty: Mobile, with the right build this new weapon can feel almost like an AR with more magazine capacity! Speaking of builds, check out a recommended build we have for the new Dingo LMG below -

https://preview.redd.it/imouoj7fyvca1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=144e14a2eb0c493452eb94d1c5f9ea55990e5ea3

In addition to the base version of this weapon at tier 21, an Epic version of the weapon – the Dingo – Monkey King’s Legacy is available at tier 50 of the premium Battle Pass. There may also be a legendary version of this weapon available later in the season in a draw! More details on that incoming.

New Lethal – Stim Shot
Available at tier 14 of the free Battle Pass is the latest tactical equipment coming to Call of Duty: Mobile – Stim Shot. First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 the Stim Shot is a reusable stimulant that initiates a healing process for the player using it immediately. Be careful using this new equipment because while healing you will be vulnerable to other players. Our favorite way to use Stim Shot is to use it to get some healing while sliding so you are a smaller target while exposed to other players. We will have a showcase video for the Stim Shot on our YouTube channel later this season so be sure and keep an eye out for that when it drops!

New MP Map – Nuketown – Year of the Rabbit
The iconic and fan-favorite map Nuketown has gotten another look! Nuketown – Year of the Rabbit will be playable in Call of Duty: Mobile starting 1/27 UTC. This version of Nuketown (as the name suggests) is all about the year of the Rabbit. With some hidden and some not-so-hidden Rabbits in the map, this map celebrates the upcoming Lunar New Year in a variety of ways. And what is a Lunar New Year without some fireworks? Unlike the classic Nuketown set in the middle of nowhere, Nuketown – Year of the Rabbit is set amid a big city complete with skyscrapers and – you guessed it – a firework show unlike any other. A full flythrough of the map will be posted on our YouTube channel later this season so be sure and keep an eye out for that to learn all about this new celebratory map in Call of Duty: Mobile.

https://preview.redd.it/m7dz5itryvca1.png?width=4096&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=07c86206dd423098dbe20496f07199234097ace8

Lunar New Year BR Updates

Much like last year, Lunar New Year has come to Battle Royale as well! In Call of Duty: Mobile Season 1 – Reawakening, two new Points of Interest have come to Isolated – the Ecology Lab and the T-3 Refinery. The Ecology Lab is filled with different greenhouses growing various advanced plant materials for secret projects. Each greenhouse within the Ecology lab has computer stations that players can interact with to get consumables. The T-3 refinery is where the natural resources of Isolated are being broken down into usable items for the ATLAS Corporation. In the T-3 Refinery players can find two treatment cylinders that have giant updrafts players can jump into the float into the skies.

Also, within these two new points of interest, players will find ATLAS Corporation NPCs who will be giving out red envelopes. Within these Red Envelopes will be our new Limited Time Tickets that players can exchange for items in our Limited time tickets store. Limited Time Tickets can be found in other ways in Battle Royale including –

  • Finding and destroying R.A.B.T.s in BR
    • R.A.B.T.s are Rabbit looking lanterns on wheels that will be “running” around Isolated
  • Popping the Lunar New Year loot balloons floating around Isolated
  • Eliminating enemies in BR

The Limited Time Tickets really are available only for a limited time and will be usable in both Season 1 and Season 2, so earn and use them while you can! If you are short on tickets and want an item from our Limited Time Ticket store players can supplement their ticket stash by converting COD Points for tickets at a one-to-one exchange rate.

Ranked

As with most odd seasons, a new Ranked Season is here! In addition to the new rewards available for players in this Ranked Season, this year we are introducing Elite Missions to Ranked mode. Elite Missions is our way of rewarding the best of the best Ranked mode players. There will be more details on Elite Missions later as it is meant to reward long-term highly skilled Ranked players. The basic details are if you end a Season highly ranked (Legendary or top 5000) you will earn Medals. These Medals will be super valuable later…and that’s all we are allowed to say at this time. 😉

The new Ranked season rewards available to players for Season 1 are outlined below!

MP Ranked Rewards –

  • LAPA – Kirin’s Cry (Epic)
  • Calling Card – Series 1 MP Legend (Legendary)

BR Ranked Rewards –

  • Vagr Modir – Silk Robes (Epic)
  • Calling Card – Series 1 BR Legend (Legendary)

Seasonal Challenges

Target Acquired

The first Seasonal Challenge of the season is live now! Target Acquired will have players acquiring and eliminating their targets using snipers and specifically the DL Q33. Proving your prowess with the sniper rifles by completing the tasks to earn 11,000 Battle Pass XP and the new signature attachment for the DL Q33 – the DL Q33 Magazine. This signature attachment will give missed shots from the DL Q33 a slight stun affecting enemies on near-missed shots. In addition to the signature attachment players who complete the tasks in this seasonal challenge will earn

  • Minotaur – Maze Keeper (Shard) (Epic)
  • Calling Card – Fade to Fire (Rare)
  • XPR-50 – Polished Ruby (Rare)
  • PP19 Bizon – Space Man

Feedback Texts of Defeating/Knocking Down Enemy

Optimized the feedback texts of defeating/knocking down enemies

It's a tradition of Battle Royale games that texts of defeating/knocking down broadcast above the reticle. However, we found that sometimes the broadcasting is too redundant and frequent, and hard to distinguish the source of the messages. Thus optimizations are made to solve the issues:

  1. Defeating/knocking down by player, it will not be broadcasted above the reticle in player's own view. Instead, they will be displayed at the right side of the reticle(similar to the positive feedback text in MP).

  2. Defeating/knocking down brought by teammates will be added a blue underlay. Defeating/knocking down teammates will be added a red underlay.

  3. Optimized broadcasting texts will be more simple.

  4. Squad elimination will be broadcasted.

Death Recap

Death Recap in Battle Royale was added. Players eliminated can tap to view details in Death Recap. This page will show the damage from both sides between player and the killer in chronological order.

Other Optimization/Update

More rational refreshing logic of supplies:

Optimized the logic of supply refreshing to make reduction on phenomenon that supplies with extremely uneven distribution.

UI Resolution improvement:

Improved resolutions of some key buttons in Battle Royale in default states (no need to download HD resource pack).

Adjustment on Private room parameters:

Adjusted parameter of the option 'SLOW' of 'Safe Zone Shrink Frequency', now it is slower than before.

MP & BR

DR-H

Poor performance on ADS bullet spread of DR-H served a serious drag on its strength. Besides, its firing range is not enough for the majority of combat ranges. It's time for adjustment.

Range: Increased

ADS bullet dispersion: Significantly reduced

KN-44

The fire rate of KN-44 is lower than other weapons that are deadly in 4 shots. Low accuracy of attachments for high mobility is difficult to support mid-range combat. With the lack of benefits from headshots, we need to make a specific buff on it.

Damage (MP): Increased

Damage (BR): Increased

Chest damage multiplier: Increased

ADS bullet dispersion: Reduced

LK24

As an assault rifle with mid-to-low fire rate, its damage in medium range doesn't make it stand out. So, it's time to buff it.

Damage (MP): Increased

Damage (BR): Increased

M13

M13 performs well with the advantage brought by the high fire rate, but it's weaker in face-to-face combat due to the Get-hit flinch. So we reduced its Get-hit flinch and increased the ADS speed to make it adapt to the combat scenarios.

ADS speed: Increased

Get-Hit flinch: Reduced

The time for reloading takes effect was adjusted to make it more consistent after the mag is loaded.

HVK-30

Without attachments, the performance of HVK-30 was slightly behind the rest of the other assault rifles which makes it not able to stand out when equipped with Large Caliber Mag, thus we need to buff it.

Damage: Increased

Upper arm damage multiplier: Increased (No attachment)

ASM10

Branson still shows a high ceiling of capacity under certain circumstances even after last nerf, but this high upper limit should not be at the cost of this gun with other attachments. Without Branson, ASM10 is relatively weak compared to other low-fire-rate rifles thus we need to give it some buff on firing ranges.

Range: Increased

OWC Ranger:

Range buff: Increased

OWC Marksman:

Range buff: Increased

Oden

Oden is unstable and barely achieves the shortest TTK, and it's restricted by the ADS bullet spread. It's time to make it deadly in two shots.

Lower arm damage multiplier: Increased

ADS bullet dispersion: Significantly reduced

Bullet speed: Increased

AS VAL

The weapon firing movement overly affected the performance. So we optimized the movement performance of the recoil flinch. We also reduced the reticle flinch affected by bullet dispersion.

Recoil flinch movement: Reduced

Dispersion on gun kick: Reduced

Arctic .50

The benefits of Arctic .50 - Stopping Power Reload was not significant enough. On the contrary, the debuff was so strong that it lost the advantages of combatting with the majority of sniper rifles.

Stopping Power Reload:

Damage: Increased

ADS speed debuff: Reduced

PKM

The mobility of PKM was a bit low compared to its strong firepower, so we made an upward adjustment on its mobility.

ADS speed: Increased

ADS movement speed: Increased

Chicom

Chicom's damage is weak in the first damage range and its high lateral recoil is hard to control. Time to buff it.

Horizontal Recoil: Reduced

Damage (MP): Increased

Damage (BR): Increased

Switchblade X9

Switchblade X9 made a slumping performance after the last nerf. So we increased its range and reduced the get-hit flinch to make it more reliable in mid-range combat.

Range: Increased

Get-Hit flinch: Reduced

RUS-79U

RUS-79U is in an awkward situation because it's slightly weaker than SMGs in close range combat and not capable enough of mid-range combatting.

ADS time: Reduced

Minimum of hip fire dispersion: Reduced

HS2126

HS2126 was famous for the fierce suppressive firing, but the long interval between bursts pushed it to an awkward situation. Besides, the strong vertical recoil made forgiveness less that the weapon became more difficult to use.

Fire interval between bursts: Reduced

Vertical recoil: Reduced

KSP 45

The strength of KSP 45 was adjusted back to a reasonable level after nerfing. But now it was at a disadvantage compared to strong SMG on the range, needing a buff to adjust upward.

Range: Increased

QQ9

In the past, we nerfed the performance of popular loadouts of QQ9 in order to avoid the situation of dominant usage rate in SMG after the nerfing of Switchblade X9. We also encourage players to make more different loadouts. QQ9 needs improvement to catch CBR4 and Fennec, and attachments that are not so popular need a buff as well.

Range: Increased

Lower arm damage multiplier: Increased

Horizontal recoil Performance optimized

10mm 30 Round Reload:

Damage: Increased

SP-R 208

Bug Fixed:

Damage of .300mm 5 Round Reload in second damage range will no longer be lower than it in the third damage range.

Shorty

As a close-range secondary weapon, the damage of Shorty should be increased to counteract the melee masters in the current combat environment.

Damage per pellet: Increased

The selections of pistols are quite stereotyped. So, we made some improvements on pistols with low usage rate.

J358

Reload speed: Increased

Range: Increased

Renetti

Fire interval between burst: Reduced

L-CAR 9

Range: Increased

Damage: Increased

Melee

Melee Weapon Adsorption should be a feature that works as a supporting role, but we found it was overpowered beyond a reasonable threshold. The entertainment from melee combatting was decreased so we decided to nerf it to a performance that would be virtually imperceptible.

We unified melee weapon adsorption of all the melee weapons, and reduced damage distance to 1.3m.

MP

Operator Skills

TAK-5

HP recovery: Reduced

Energy recovery rate: Slightly reduced

Reactor Core

Movement speed when using Reactor Core: Reduced

Cordite

In Battle Royale, players always use SMG as the weapon for close-range hip firing. However, Cordite, which is known for its accuracy in hip firing, never shows its advantages as the low damage and mobility set a limit to its advantages.

Damage: Increased

PPSh-41

PPSh-41 is known for its hip firing, we hope that it can perform well and give an edge in Battle Royale.

Damage: Increased

Looking Ahead for Call of Duty: Mobile 2023

Before we dive into the rest of the usual Community Update details, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your passion, engagement, and support for Call of Duty: Mobile in 2022. This game wouldn’t be what it is without this amazing Community, let alone be thriving over 3 years after its initial launch. In fact, with all of your help, 2022 was a banner year for CODM, and we plan on making 2023 even better.

As this is the first Community Update of 2023, we wanted to share an early look at some of the key areas the team will be focusing on over the next year.

General Gameplay – in addition to maintaining our three game modes of Multiplayer, Battle Royale, and Zombies; we will continue to have regular seasonal updates with new game modes and maps. We also plan on expanding on the popular MP game modes like Ground War and Super Attack of the Undead, as well as continuing to explore new modes to bring more fun to our players. More info on new modes will be available closer to when they are launching in game!

Competitive Gameplay – the team plans on continuing to optimize Ranked mode throughout 2023, adjusting the map rotation and bringing in new rewards for each Ranked season. One update to Ranked is the addition of Elite Missions – which we will talk about below – where players can get extra rewards for being the elite of the elite in Ranked mode. Tournaments is another area that the team is planning on continuing to optimize and bring fresh new rewards to.

Weapon Optimizations – Since November of last year the team has been consistently adjusting the way weapons feel and sound when firing and damaging enemies. The team will be continually optimizing this aspect of the game to make CODM even more immersive.

Battle Pass – In addition to new Battle Passes arriving seasonally in 2023, because we are now in our fourth year of Call of Duty: Mobile there have been a ton of Battle Passes that players either missed out on or didn’t have a chance to finish. The team plans on continuing to support our new Battle Pass Vault feature to bring back some of the favorite Battle Passes of the past to current players.

Cheating – COD:M has always been strict in anti-cheating, anti-hacking, and anti-abuse and will continue to do so. In the future, the team plans on optimizing keyboard and mouse monitoring as well as voice recognition to create a healthy and fair gaming environment.

Bug Fixes – Crashes, latency issues, and game size are high-priority issues that are always front of mind and being worked on. The team also plans on implementing adaptability for more devices and enabling high frame rate settings for more devices in the future.

Ultimately, Call of Duty: Mobile is a game we all love. This is true for our Community, for us, and for Activision as a whole. Together we will continue to make COD:M the amazing game it is, has been, and will continue to be.

Thank you again for all of your support and we look forward to an amazing 2023 <3.

  • Backpack – Jungle Beast (Epic)
  • 50% off 10x Crate Pulls 3 times per month
  • + 10% Player XP
  • + 10% Weapon XP

New Weapon – Dingo
Now available at tier 21 in the free path of the Battle Pass is the new functional weapon, the Dingo. First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops III the Dingo is a full-auto light machine gun with a fast fire rate with moderate recoil control. This LMG has a higher mobility than most of the LMGs currently in Call of Duty: Mobile, with the right build this new weapon can feel almost like an AR with more magazine capacity! Speaking of builds, check out a recommended build we have for the new Dingo LMG below -

https://preview.redd.it/imouoj7fyvca1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=144e14a2eb0c493452eb94d1c5f9ea55990e5ea3

In addition to the base version of this weapon at tier 21, an Epic version of the weapon – the Dingo – Monkey King’s Legacy is available at tier 50 of the premium Battle Pass. There may also be a legendary version of this weapon available later in the season in a draw! More details on that incoming.

New Lethal – Stim Shot
Available at tier 14 of the free Battle Pass is the latest tactical equipment coming to Call of Duty: Mobile – Stim Shot. First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 the Stim Shot is a reusable stimulant that initiates a healing process for the player using it immediately. Be careful using this new equipment because while healing you will be vulnerable to other players. Our favorite way to use Stim Shot is to use it to get some healing while sliding so you are a smaller target while exposed to other players. We will have a showcase video for the Stim Shot on our YouTube channel later this season so be sure and keep an eye out for that when it drops!

New MP Map – Nuketown – Year of the Rabbit
The iconic and fan-favorite map Nuketown has gotten another look! Nuketown – Year of the Rabbit will be playable in Call of Duty: Mobile starting 1/27 UTC. This version of Nuketown (as the name suggests) is all about the year of the Rabbit. With some hidden and some not-so-hidden Rabbits in the map, this map celebrates the upcoming Lunar New Year in a variety of ways. And what is a Lunar New Year without some fireworks? Unlike the classic Nuketown set in the middle of nowhere, Nuketown – Year of the Rabbit is set amid a big city complete with skyscrapers and – you guessed it – a firework show unlike any other. A full flythrough of the map will be posted on our YouTube channel later this season so be sure and keep an eye out for that to learn all about this new celebratory map in Call of Duty: Mobile.

https://preview.redd.it/m7dz5itryvca1.png?width=4096&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=07c86206dd423098dbe20496f07199234097ace8

Lunar New Year BR Updates

Much like last year, Lunar New Year has come to Battle Royale as well! In Call of Duty: Mobile Season 1 – Reawakening, two new Points of Interest have come to Isolated – the Ecology Lab and the T-3 Refinery. The Ecology Lab is filled with different greenhouses growing various advanced plant materials for secret projects. Each greenhouse within the Ecology lab has computer stations that players can interact with to get consumables. The T-3 refinery is where the natural resources of Isolated are being broken down into usable items for the ATLAS Corporation. In the T-3 Refinery players can find two treatment cylinders that have giant updrafts players can jump into the float into the skies.

Also, within these two new points of interest, players will find ATLAS Corporation NPCs who will be giving out red envelopes. Within these Red Envelopes will be our new Limited Time Tickets that players can exchange for items in our Limited time tickets store. Limited Time Tickets can be found in other ways in Battle Royale including –

  • Finding and destroying R.A.B.T.s in BR
    • R.A.B.T.s are Rabbit looking lanterns on wheels that will be “running” around Isolated
  • Popping the Lunar New Year loot balloons floating around Isolated
  • Eliminating enemies in BR

The Limited Time Tickets really are available only for a limited time and will be usable in both Season 1 and Season 2, so earn and use them while you can! If you are short on tickets and want an item from our Limited Time Ticket store players can supplement their ticket stash by converting COD Points for tickets at a one-to-one exchange rate.

Ranked

As with most odd seasons, a new Ranked Season is here! In addition to the new rewards available for players in this Ranked Season, this year we are introducing Elite Missions to Ranked mode. Elite Missions is our way of rewarding the best of the best Ranked mode players. There will be more details on Elite Missions later as it is meant to reward long-term highly skilled Ranked players. The basic details are if you end a Season highly ranked (Legendary or top 5000) you will earn Medals. These Medals will be super valuable later…and that’s all we are allowed to say at this time. 😉

The new Ranked season rewards available to players for Season 1 are outlined below!

MP Ranked Rewards –

  • LAPA – Kirin’s Cry (Epic)
  • Calling Card – Series 1 MP Legend (Legendary)

BR Ranked Rewards –

  • Vagr Modir – Silk Robes (Epic)
  • Calling Card – Series 1 BR Legend (Legendary)

Seasonal Challenges

Target Acquired

The first Seasonal Challenge of the season is live now! Target Acquired will have players acquiring and eliminating their targets using snipers and specifically the DL Q33. Proving your prowess with the sniper rifles by completing the tasks to earn 11,000 Battle Pass XP and the new signature attachment for the DL Q33 – the DL Q33 Magazine. This signature attachment will give missed shots from the DL Q33 a slight stun affecting enemies on near-missed shots. In addition to the signature attachment players who complete the tasks in this seasonal challenge will earn

  • Minotaur – Maze Keeper (Shard) (Epic)
  • Calling Card – Fade to Fire (Rare)
  • XPR-50 – Polished Ruby (Rare)
  • PP19 Bizon – Space Man

Our teams are regularly monitoring those, so thank you to anyone who reports any issue (big or small) and helps make the game better for everyone.

Feedback Texts of Defeating/Knocking Down Enemy

Optimized the feedback texts of defeating/knocking down enemies

It's a tradition of Battle Royale games that texts of defeating/knocking down broadcast above the reticle. However, we found that sometimes the broadcasting is too redundant and frequent, and hard to distinguish the source of the messages. Thus optimizations are made to solve the issues:

  1. Defeating/knocking down by player, it will not be broadcasted above the reticle in player's own view. Instead, they will be displayed at the right side of the reticle(similar to the positive feedback text in MP).

  2. Defeating/knocking down brought by teammates will be added a blue underlay. Defeating/knocking down teammates will be added a red underlay.

  3. Optimized broadcasting texts will be more simple.

  4. Squad elimination will be broadcasted.

Death Recap

Death Recap in Battle Royale was added. Players eliminated can tap to view details in Death Recap. This page will show the damage from both sides between player and the killer in chronological order.

Other Optimization/Update

More rational refreshing logic of supplies:

Optimized the logic of supply refreshing to make reduction on phenomenon that supplies with extremely uneven distribution.

UI Resolution improvement:

Improved resolutions of some key buttons in Battle Royale in default states (no need to download HD resource pack).

Adjustment on Private room parameters:

Adjusted parameter of the option 'SLOW' of 'Safe Zone Shrink Frequency', now it is slower than before.

MP & BR

DR-H

Poor performance on ADS bullet spread of DR-H served a serious drag on its strength. Besides, its firing range is not enough for the majority of combat ranges. It's time for adjustment.

Range: Increased

ADS bullet dispersion: Significantly reduced

KN-44

The fire rate of KN-44 is lower than other weapons that are deadly in 4 shots. Low accuracy of attachments for high mobility is difficult to support mid-range combat. With the lack of benefits from headshots, we need to make a specific buff on it.

Damage (MP): Increased

Damage (BR): Increased

Chest damage multiplier: Increased

ADS bullet dispersion: Reduced

LK24

As an assault rifle with mid-to-low fire rate, its damage in medium range doesn't make it stand out. So, it's time to buff it.

Damage (MP): Increased

Damage (BR): Increased

M13

M13 performs well with the advantage brought by the high fire rate, but it's weaker in face-to-face combat due to the Get-hit flinch. So we reduced its Get-hit flinch and increased the ADS speed to make it adapt to the combat scenarios.

ADS speed: Increased

Get-Hit flinch: Reduced

The time for reloading takes effect was adjusted to make it more consistent after the mag is loaded.

HVK-30

Without attachments, the performance of HVK-30 was slightly behind the rest of the other assault rifles which makes it not able to stand out when equipped with Large Caliber Mag, thus we need to buff it.

Damage: Increased

Upper arm damage multiplier: Increased (No attachment)

ASM10

Branson still shows a high ceiling of capacity under certain circumstances even after last nerf, but this high upper limit should not be at the cost of this gun with other attachments. Without Branson, ASM10 is relatively weak compared to other low-fire-rate rifles thus we need to give it some buff on firing ranges.

Range: Increased

OWC Ranger:

Range buff: Increased

OWC Marksman:

Range buff: Increased

Oden

Oden is unstable and barely achieves the shortest TTK, and it's restricted by the ADS bullet spread. It's time to make it deadly in two shots.

Lower arm damage multiplier: Increased

ADS bullet dispersion: Significantly reduced

Bullet speed: Increased

AS VAL

The weapon firing movement overly affected the performance. So we optimized the movement performance of the recoil flinch. We also reduced the reticle flinch affected by bullet dispersion.

Recoil flinch movement: Reduced

Dispersion on gun kick: Reduced

Arctic .50

The benefits of Arctic .50 - Stopping Power Reload was not significant enough. On the contrary, the debuff was so strong that it lost the advantages of combatting with the majority of sniper rifles.

Stopping Power Reload:

Damage: Increased

ADS speed debuff: Reduced

PKM

The mobility of PKM was a bit low compared to its strong firepower, so we made an upward adjustment on its mobility.

ADS speed: Increased

ADS movement speed: Increased

Chicom

Chicom's damage is weak in the first damage range and its high lateral recoil is hard to control. Time to buff it.

Horizontal Recoil: Reduced

Damage (MP): Increased

Damage (BR): Increased

Switchblade X9

Switchblade X9 made a slumping performance after the last nerf. So we increased its range and reduced the get-hit flinch to make it more reliable in mid-range combat.

Range: Increased

Get-Hit flinch: Reduced

RUS-79U

RUS-79U is in an awkward situation because it's slightly weaker than SMGs in close range combat and not capable enough of mid-range combatting.

ADS time: Reduced

Minimum of hip fire dispersion: Reduced

HS2126

HS2126 was famous for the fierce suppressive firing, but the long interval between bursts pushed it to an awkward situation. Besides, the strong vertical recoil made forgiveness less that the weapon became more difficult to use.

Fire interval between bursts: Reduced

Vertical recoil: Reduced

KSP 45

The strength of KSP 45 was adjusted back to a reasonable level after nerfing. But now it was at a disadvantage compared to strong SMG on the range, needing a buff to adjust upward.

Range: Increased

QQ9

In the past, we nerfed the performance of popular loadouts of QQ9 in order to avoid the situation of dominant usage rate in SMG after the nerfing of Switchblade X9. We also encourage players to make more different loadouts. QQ9 needs improvement to catch CBR4 and Fennec, and attachments that are not so popular need a buff as well.

Range: Increased

Lower arm damage multiplier: Increased

Horizontal recoil Performance optimized

10mm 30 Round Reload:

Damage: Increased

SP-R 208

Bug Fixed:

Damage of .300mm 5 Round Reload in second damage range will no longer be lower than it in the third damage range.

Shorty

As a close-range secondary weapon, the damage of Shorty should be increased to counteract the melee masters in the current combat environment.

Damage per pellet: Increased

The selections of pistols are quite stereotyped. So, we made some improvements on pistols with low usage rate.

J358

Reload speed: Increased

Range: Increased

Renetti

Fire interval between burst: Reduced

L-CAR 9

Range: Increased

Damage: Increased

Melee

Melee Weapon Adsorption should be a feature that works as a supporting role, but we found it was overpowered beyond a reasonable threshold. The entertainment from melee combatting was decreased so we decided to nerf it to a performance that would be virtually imperceptible.

We unified melee weapon adsorption of all the melee weapons, and reduced damage distance to 1.3m.

MP

Operator Skills

TAK-5

HP recovery: Reduced

Energy recovery rate: Slightly reduced

Reactor Core

Movement speed when using Reactor Core: Reduced

Ballista EM3

Detected distance: Reduced

Actual damage distance: Reduced

Death Machine

Chest damage multiplier: Increased

Fire interval: Reduced

War Machine

Explosive range: Increased

Minimum explosive damage: Increased

Restock

Throwable recharging speed: Increased

Spycraft

Overall hacked time required: Reduced

Launcher Plus

Reserve ammunition: Added (Now it will be 2 extra ammunition)

Trophy System

Damage: Reduced

BR

Cordite

In Battle Royale, players always use SMG as the weapon for close-range hip firing. However, Cordite, which is known for its accuracy in hip firing, never shows its advantages as the low damage and mobility set a limit to its advantages.

Damage: Increased

PPSh-41

PPSh-41 is known for its hip firing, we hope that it can perform well and give an edge in Battle Royale.

Damage: Increased

Thanks for this awesome season, really liked new minimap changes, new basic settings, br UI overhaul and more !!!

But I have 3 questions which i hope you answer !

1) will you add an option to hide character and guns collection? Should work like match history system for ticking box to allow members to see collection

2) any plans about adding dame in battle pass ? Really was a famous comic character which would be cool to have at least 1 variant of her in bp even if it's a reskin

3) any plan of adding 2fa to codm login ? Because right now even if you have 2fa on AVTI account, you still can login without typing code

Hey there, glad to hear you are liking some of the changes! As for your questions -

  1. That's an interesting idea. We haven't heard of this being talked about from the team just yet, but can always float the idea. There are some interesting changes planned for profiles that should come in a later season though!
  2. We love Dame and love how much the community loves Dame too! Looks like they *might* be in an upcoming BP later this year...but you didn't hear that from us 🤐
  3. Hmmm, that sounds like that isn't functioning right. We will ping the team about that and see if that is a bug or not.

Thanks!

Where's the f**king new MP lobby?? It's been years and years 😐

Heya! Yeah totally understand the frustration around this one. The new MP lobby background got pushed back again. It is tied to a new feature we are bringing into the game (which should be cool) and is now slated to come out in Season 3 of this year.

Will Shipment 1944 be permanent like the other versions of Nuketown? I love it but hate the fact that it's only available on the 10v10 mode.

Hey there! Been talking to the team about this one. We've seen the community's love for Shipment 1944 and have made a note about the want for it not to be just 10v10. We are working on bringing it back in some capacity after the current playlist for it ends.

Hey there! BP vault is still in its early stages so the team is iterating on how best to implement it going forward and exactly which Battle Passes to bring back. Showing your love for the earlier CODM BP seasons will always help tho!

Hey there, the team has been pushing out Ghost - Red Team 141 to those who are eligible. However they are still in the process of sending out all of the rewards, so if you haven’t received it yet you should soon! Appreciate your patience on this. Question to help the team though, if you haven't received your Ghost yet, what region are you in? And is your CODM and ATVI account linked?

Hey devs, thanks for the new season! i have a simple question:
- the team can look for the excessive visual aim shake on j38, fr556 and the SKS Z-08 blueprint? i know its a new ''realistic'' feature, but for some weapons its a lot annoying

Hey there, we can pass this along to the team and they can check it out and determine if it's intended or not. Happen to have a video handy of the excessive aim shake you're talking about?

Hello devs, it’s a good update so far. Impressive cosmetics this time around, so huge applause for that.

Weapon balance so far has been really good, however, some of them still need further adjustments.

Multiplayer:

  • Cordite: currently, this weapon has essentially pistol level hit flinch, high initial recoil and slower ADS time, which renders it not a viable option against top weapons in class such as P90 (CBR4), Switchblade X9, and Vector (Fennec). An improvement to at least two out of three of these issues will help the weapon become a lot more viable. Medium wall penetration for the weapon is also recommended, since it actually fires bullets similar to the CBR4 (can be seen on the magazine).

  • PDW-57: a well-known great weapon for the long-time players, however, recently this one cannot keep up with the current meta. An improvement to the ADS speed is greatly appreciated, especially, similar to the CBR4, Razorback and Cordite, this weapon does not have a wide variety of attachments that can improve its general agility. Medium penetration is highly recommended, due to the same reason as the Cordite.

  • Razorback: speaking of which, I will put this one alongside the HG40 and GKS. Those three weapons are slower mobility, slower firing SMGs with a little more range compared to their peers, they also need to be somewhat more accurate, since they still have worse range than the majority of rifles. An improvement to ADS bullet spread for all three is highly recommended and appreciated. Medium wall penetration is needed, as it fires P90 (CBR4) rounds, according to BO3 wiki.

  • GKS: speaking of the GKS, this weapon also needs improvements when its comes to agility. Currently, the weapon has the same ADS speed as the M4, an assault rifle, which is a downside that makes the weapon somewhat undesirable among players. Moreover, the weapon’s recoil tends to jump a lot between shots despite being a slow firing, accurate SMG. An improvement to both of these categories is highly recommended.

  • QXR: despite being supposedly a low recoil, low damage, fast fire rate SMG (w/o Enhanced Bolt), this weapons leaves a lot to be desired, especially after an adjustment that made the weapon essentially unviable over a year ago. ADS time is essentially assault rifle level, tied with GKS. ADS bullet spread is bad, make the weapons a lot less versatile, packing with the already low damage. Recoil is simple, however, the climb rate is high, once again packing with the low damage and slow ADS time. An improvement to all of these elements is essential to make the weapon worth the grind again. Medium penetration for the weapon is also encouraged, since it fires a PDW bullet, similar to the P90.

  • AGR 556: highly appreciated for the improvements made recently with this weapon, however, its recoil also needs the same treatment.

  • RUS-79U: once again, appreciated the recent improvement. However, in order to make this weapon more competitive against the top dogs, it needs to be somewhat more consistent when its come to damage and accuracy. An improvement to both of those categories is needed. Medium wall penetration needs to be considered, as it’s a subcompact rifle (essentially a type of PDW) in real life, and it fires rifle rounds similar to the ASM10.

-MSMC: this weapon has been neglected for quite some times until recently, when it received a damage improvement. Greatly appreciated, however, an improvement to the recoil and base magazine side of the weapon is needed, since both of those issues makes the weapon not a good choice among the majority of players, including both casual and competitive players. Medium wall penetration can be considered, as it fires ammunitions that is similar to the MP7 (QXR) and P90 (CBR4).

  • Pharo: this weapon is actually a good weapon, however, the completely unpredictable recoil makes it not so desirable. To top it off, it’s a burst fire weapon, similar to the Chicom and recently KSP 45. The burst fire nature, combined with the recoil makes Pharo struggle to complete against its burst fire competitors, even after the most recent patch. A huge recoil improvement is appreciated.

  • M4LMG: this weapon is currently the worst one in its class, since it has been neglected for a long time. Improvement towards ADS bullet spread, ADS time, range as well as general mobility can make this weapon more competitive compared to its peers with wider variety of attachments.

  • Kilo Bolt-Action: currently, this weapon is also the worst in class, due to high hit flinch and inconsistent damage. An improvement to both of those issues is recommended.

  • M21 EBR: even after a couple of patches, this weapon is still relatively not competitive against its peers, or even against the Marksman rifles. A slight rework to this weapon, such as the ability to use iron sights, less recoil, and fire rate cap increases can make this weapon a viable choice against the SKS.

  • M16 (burst): recently, the M16 got an automatic mode perk, which made the weapon more viable against its peers. However, considering the franchise’s history, having a bad Burst M16 is generally not a good idea. Moreover, an improvement to the burst fire version can make this fire mode more relevant among casual players, compared to full auto weapons. An increase to base damage (similar to Chicom) is appreciated.

  • HBRa3: the Thunderbolt Sling needs to be reclassified as either a weapon perk, or an underbarrel attachment, since currently, by putting the sling on, you are completely unable to equip a stock attachment, which is highly crucial against this meta where it heavily relies on movement and strafing.

  • Peacekeeper MK2 (base): compared to the recent Krig 6 as well as several rifles, the Peacekeeper MK2 generally can no longer compete, especially with the base fire rate and range. The Well-Forged barrel needs to increase range more so that it can be a choice worth picking against the Task Force barrel. The Long Range barrel also needs it downsides toned down. And since the PK MK2 is more of a flexible AR with average time-to-kill compared to its peers, faster ADS time is also appreciated.

Excuse me for the very long comment / feedback, however due to the unusual way when it comes to player progression in this game, weapons generally need to be more viable against the top in their respective classes so that players won’t get bored of using the same weapons over and over again, resulting in less player retention.

Hey there! We're happy to hear you're enjoying most of the updates that have come along with S1 so far!

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write all of this out and share your detailed feedback with us. We love to see this kind of passion and care in our community. Players like yourself are one of the many reasons that make the CODM community the best.

While we won't go through and address each of these points of feedback, we will forward this info over to the team who is in charge of making the weapon balance adjustments. This info will give them more ammunition in their decisions on what weapons should be balanced in upcoming seasons.

Like you said, balance changes are crucial to the ecosystem in CODM and is something the team is constantly striving to improv upon, so your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!
