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.

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 -
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.
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)

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:
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).
Defeating/knocking down brought by teammates will be added a blue underlay. Defeating/knocking down teammates will be added a red underlay.
Optimized broadcasting texts will be more simple.
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).

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
