Public Test Build
You’ve been asking for it week after week and it is finally here! This public test build is a lead-up to our next release, which as you can expect is going to release very soon and as a result we are only running this one for about 4 days. Please find all of the information below and as per usual in case this is first-come first-serve in relation to the player limit and how long it will be downloadable.

  • Begins today on December 12th (PT)
    • Test end date is December 16th (PT)
  • Available for Android devices only
  • Download Size: 2 gigabytes, Wifi connection is highly recommended
  • No defined hard limit this time, but at least available to 20K+ players
  • Content suited for ages 16+
  • All information and player data collected during this test will be deleted

This test is intended to help stabilize the upcoming release by identifying and eradicating bugs in advance. We do also have our QA teams dedicated to finding these issues, but there is no equivalent to having tens of thousands of players jump in and start interacting with new features, changes, UI, or content. With that in mind, please use the in-game surveys to help report issues or to provide feedback.

Some general tips and troubleshooting for downloading this rather large file:

  • Do your best to make sure you on a secure uninterrupted connection so that the whole package is downloaded without any issues
  • Try to turn off or stop your device from going into any kind of rest mode
  • If you are running into issues download the file, try using a different browser
  • If you are running into issues installing the file try restarting your device and try again
  • Make sure you have 5-6 gigabytes of data free on your device

This file and build is independent of the main build, you do not need to remove or do anything with your main CODM application. It will install as another application that is executed separately.

The main new features available to test from upcoming release are the following:

  • New Operator Skill: Gravity Vortex Gun
  • New Scorestreak: EMP Systems
  • New Tactical Equipment: Gas Grenade
  • New Weapon: Peacekeeper MK2 (AR)
  • New Weapon: QXR (SMG)
  • New Perk: Desperado
  • New Mode: Grind
  • New Mode: 3v3 Gun Fight
  • New Mode: Battle Royale Blitz
  • New Mode: Hardcore Hardpoint
  • New Mode: Hardcore Headquarters
  • New Map: Nuketown Russia
  • New Map: Raid Holiday
  • New Map: Rebirth
  • New Vehicle: Snowboard

Nuketown Russia

There are of course other changes, fixes, optimizations, and improvements included here, but this list above is more focused on new content in this build. These will not all be available at the start of the test, but we'll be enabling different features throughout the test period.

Lastly, please keep in mind that not all of these features are intended to release in the most immediate update following this public test build. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to assist us with this test and if you have any questions or inquiries feel free to reach out and ask!

Does this test server feature the optimization changes you guys have said you would bring?

Hey, it might have some but it is unlikely to have all of the main changes from the full update releasing later this month. Usually the test build has a cherry picking of features that we are specifically looking for feedback or testing on, but there are some things that are just automatically going to be there as well because they are already configured.

keeps loading the page and Getting timed out

Ah, in that case we would recommend trying to open it in a different browser (assuming it is trying to open it in your default one right now). Looks good on our end at the moment, but we are of course monitoring since it just came out.

So I basically don’t own an android device :(

Can the next test servers pls be compatible with iOS??

Hey, at the moment with how it is setup by our devs it is strictly only accessible via Android. We have definitely seen the requests to try to do it on iOS, but there is a surprisingly large number of obstacles to release it on that platform as well.

Ok tried it with vpn and it works now. Was it country blocked? Im in Bangladesh

Ah, it could be if that is normally a country that wouldn't have access to the game in the first place, but we are assuming your main account/game was through the Google Play store based out of Bangladesh? We would have to double check to see if that a country where the game is normally available.

Is the QXR gun available for testing? I was really looking forward to testing that gun specifically

It might drop in there later, but we do not believe that new weapon is available right now on release.

Hey, this is impressively unrelated to this thread or the original comment haha, but regardless we are still happy to check it out. We sent out many of those a week or so ago, but could you just share your UID so we can reference it with the lists we've previously sent out?

Can't enter , it says "no network connection, connect to network and restart the game"

Hey, sorry to hear that. Presumably you don't have any similar issues loading up the main game/normal build? Also, have you tried any basic troubleshooting like restarting your device or reconnecting to the network?

I’m actually really upset right now. I used to have an android device but playing cod basically ruined it so now I’m stuck with an old hand me down iPhone. I’ve been looking forward for this for a long while to be let down like this. :’(

No worries, we aren't too far from the actual release of the next version of the game (the new season) so it won't be long until you get to checked out the more polished version of all of this alongside plenty of other features that aren't included here.

Weird tho, Apple has their own beta testing program called TestFlight and It’s pretty easy to start a test for your app, just need a planned schedule when releasing the application to Apple.

It is a bit more complicated than that unfortunately. We can't get into the specifics, but to do test flight it requires a whole different process (compared to Android) and there are more obstacles in general. Doing these tests on Android only allows us to be a lot more nimble in relation to just simply hosting a DL link, adding content, or changing things last minute.

Same here

That's a pretty common-ish error unfortunately. Usually those steps we listed out in the post will fix that though, but it definitely takes a bit of tinkering sometimes with using different browsers to download, clearing out the original download that seemingly failed, restarting your device, and starting it all fresh again.

u/callofdutymobile Any idea in why it says download configuration failed?

We are checking, but that's not entirely uncommon based on our previous public test build releases. Usually that just means there was an error with the download due to an unstable connection or some kind of corruption, which would then be fixed by uninstalling, deleting the original download, and starting over (ideally after restarting your device). However, we are checking with the team to see if there is something they can do on our end.

Oh okay.. thank you for finally dropping it.

Hope I get to test out the QXR in the coming days, was really looking forward to that

We checked and it is in there already on release! We'll make sure to add that to the list above. Thanks for asking.

I see your point there and from my understanding It’s limited, but possible. Might wanna remember the team that Android and iOS are both different OS, which means, different bugs and performance issues(as reported many times in this subreddit). But anyways, I just think that both OS getting a PTB should be a priority for the sake of bug hunting :)

It is definitely possible in the future, but probably only if we do a bigger public test build that is going for a longer period of time. Thanks for the kind and logical response by the way.
