Krai Map Updates
Last week we went over how Krai was updating with a fresh new train to utilize and also how the map itself is moving to some different playlists. Just to clarify, Krai will mostly be switching between normal playlists and tournament playlists (on the weekend) in the near future.
This doesn’t mean it is going away, but it is more following the normal path for any new modes or maps where we will move them into regular playlist rotations while making way for other featured content to take the main spots. It will first come back in Season 1 on Jan 23rd.
Secret Caches FAQ
Since we’ve announced this new system we’ve seen a few common questions coming up. Of course, you can check this all now that the game is live but here is some clarification about various aspects of Secret Caches.
Q: How do fragments work and how are they obtained?
A: Each time you complete a task or challenge associated with Secret Caches you'll receive a "cache". When you open this cache you'll receive a mythic fragment, legendary fragment, camo crate, or event token. These all have different rarities and odds of being drawn, which you can check in-game.
Q: How do the caches themselves work?
A: Each time you receive a cache it starts at the lowest rarity tier - Epic. You’ll have chances to upgrade the tier, randomly, just by clicking on it. The tiers range from Epic, to Legendary, to Mythic, with the higher rarities tiers offering higher value rewards and volumes of fragments.
Q: If I unlock one of the legendary weapons or the Mythic AK117 is it permanent?
A: Anything unlocked is permanent.
Q: Do my fragments carry over to any new weapons added in the future?
A: No, each fragment is specifically associated with one of the current weapons available. However, we are still working on how this will work in the future when new weapons are introduced.
Q: Is the upgrade path for the Mythic AK117 also free?
A: No, the upgrade path is normal, meaning it requires Mythic Cards to upgrade the weapon.
Q: Do the rewards change over time?
A: Yes, but with different timings based on the rarities of rewards. We don't currently have a specific amount of time before rewards are changed out or new ones are added, but we'll update on this in the future.
Q: How long does it take to unlock the Mythic or one of the legendary weapons?
A: It will take several seasons for most players to unlock these rare weapons. This system is intended to uniquely provide long-term progression unlocks of these high quality weapons, but just like anything new our team will be looking for feedback and making adjustments over time.
Mythic Sophia Questions
We appreciate the love and hype for this fantastically detailed Mythic operator! Alongside that hype, we’ve seen a few questions around how some of the elements of her design will work in practical gameplay. Here are those answers: Q: Can her halo be lessened or removed?
A: No, no elements of her head piece (like her halo) can be removed.
Q: Does her head, wings, or halo impact hit markers or visibility?
A: All operators have the same hit markers, but in regards to visibility many Mythic operators tend to stand-out due to their prominent visual effects and design.
Q: How does switching between her base red skin and upgraded gold/angelic skin work?
A: It works the same as other Mythic operators where you just upgrade and then equip.
The two versions of Mythic Sophia
Official Web Store
If you’re as hyped as we are for these events and draws, especially Mythic Sophia, but also need some COD Points, here is a friendly reminder that our Official Web Store for CODM has the best value when it comes to buying COD Points.
To put it simply, you get 15% more COD Points compared to the same denominations in-app. Furthermore, first time purchasers on the Web Store also get up to 20% off on select denominations. We are always adding new regions too, so make sure to check out the site to see if your region is supported.
