Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! Season 2: Day of Reckoning has been out for a little over a week now and since the last community update we’ve been pulling in feedback, checking bugs, reporting cheaters, and getting everything ready for upcoming events this season. We’ll have plenty of info on all of that here on top of new modes, challenges, and event launching soon, but first we have to take a step outside of the game for a moment to discuss something important.
Recently the Asian community have been threatened with violence, racism, and harassment. If you follow our social media channels you have seen this already, but here is our response:
The teams that support Call of Duty: Mobile stretch across the world and are made up of multiple ethnicities, so it is incredibly important to not only work to create a safe environment for our players, but also for our friends, families, and coworkers. Today, and every day, stand with us against racism and hate.
We’ve always appreciated the ability and maturity of this community, so thank you to all who treat this message with that same respect. Now, let’s head back to CODM related topics and jump into the usual event related news below!
Here is a quick look at all of the latest events launching in-game:

*All Dates UTC
Whether you are interested in Battle Royale or MP, there is still plenty to explore, try, and experience this week! We have other significant events on the way though, like the seasonal challenge for the new featured weapon SP-R 208 and Pursuit. You can get a glimpse at many of the events or modes releasing this season below in the S2 roadmap:
Battle Royale – Tank Battle
This new mode full of customizable heavy machinery is now live and available for you to try! and this unique mode is all about giving every player their own tank. You’ll roam the vast landscape of the Isolated BR map while looking for parts, gathering anti-tank weapons, and doing everything you can to build your own tank, part by part.
There are five different part types on each tank and you can mix & match to build your own unique vehicle of destruction. You can find main turrets, armor, engines, chassis (the main core of the tank), and a secondary weapons, and these are mainly found through tank terminals (purple icons) that will populate across the map. If you are lucky, you can snag a rare blueprint of a tank and skip that whole process. See it all in action in our new video:

The new mode comes alongside an event to help throw some extra rewards at you just for playing, Built Like a Tank. Through this event you can earn rewards like the operator Elite PMC – Crisis and several camos for BR related items. All you need to do is get out there, build some tanks, overcome your enemies, and win some matches!
Lastly, while this isn’t an exciting new tank we would like to talk to you once again about the Cargo Truck. This new BR vehicle is sturdy, holds up to 6 players, offers plenty of protection, and has a very unique cargo bed that can be utilized in many ways. Get a glimpse of it in action:

Seasonal Challenges
Two new seasonal challenges released this week and while neither are bringing the new SP-R 208 sniper rifle (it is coming next week) there is a brand-new perk to grab, a massive amount of Battle Pass XP, and plenty of items and camos.

Store Update - For You
A small new feature quietly released alongside Season 2 and we’ve been seeing a variety of questions about it over the past week. For You is something we’ve added to the store that will allow you to access previously released lucky draws. It can help for those still looking to complete an old weapon set or just for those never got the chance to check out one of those releases. Here are the specifics:
- Only available for certain lucky draws at the start
- If you have completed the majority of those draws then there will be no For You tab
- A new option will rotate in weekly unless you have no other options available
This is the first iteration of this feature, so we’ll be keeping an eye on feedback and ideally we will be making new updates to in the future. If you run have any questions or run into bugs related to it please reach out and let us know!
Feedback
Since the release we’ve seen a wide array of feedback come in across the community and it has just been another reminder of how amazing our players are. After a year and a half and over fifteen seasons of COD: Mobile you are all still so passionate with bug reports, feedback, and discussions following a release. We are truly thankful to you all and it is an honor to be your community team! Here are the latest topics:
Weapon Balance
This has been one of the hottest topics over the past week with many different discussions about assault rifles in particular and certain setups that are being used in the meta. There has already been some changes made in the last week to help address some of that feedback, but our teams are discussing more options for future updates and we’ll be able to share more about that in future community updates. Keep the discussions going and we’ll keep reading!
Account Issues
We’ve seen a few requests to restore accounts recently and while options for restoring accounts are limited, especially depending on what account you use as your main login, the main thing we can encourage for now it to secure your account with 2FA (two factor authentication) whenever possible.
If your account is compromised immediately use recovery options before any damage can be done and reach out to the respective support teams for that platform. like Facebook, ATVI Support for COD accounts, Line, or the others. Be careful and secure your accounts whenever possible.
Hardpoint Spawn Changes
As many of you have already noted, the original changes made to this that seemed to be generally disliked have already been changed and now seem to be generally liked. Of course, we’ll still keep an eye on those discussions and see if there are any continued concerns.
Screenshake/Recoil Changes
We’ve been talking to players about this one since release to try to narrow down whether this is a bug or piece of feedback. It turns out this is most likely feedback based on the recoil changes to the weapon system, however we have shared up many posts about this with our team so that they are aware of the confusion and mixed sentiment about it.
Flavor Text on Weapons
Something that we’ve highlighted before is all of the appreciative comments about flavor text (the silly and fun descriptions on weapons, items, or operators). This type of text has returned on recent additions and we’ve already seen a few appreciative posts. Thank you all for noticing. Here are a few samples for those who haven’t seen them.
The one time splitting up is a good idea
Bug Reports
Our teams have been hard at work identifying, investigating, and fixing issues reported since S2 released.

Support Options

- In-game support chat
- ATVI Assist Twitter: Activision Support (@ATVIAssist) / Twitter

This week we are going back to highlighting some community art and this time around we have a newer artist, Eris ReignhART! This artist has posted their CODM fan art all over the place and so far they’ve covered a wide array of operators, like Helen Park, Urban Tracker, and Vanguard:
They have also gone after some interesting concepts of less known operators, but one of the most unique and interesting approaches we’ve seen them tackle is characters related to weapon art. For example, the woman from the Bento Box Crate’s DL-Q33 – Sweet Sniper.

If you want to find more of their great artwork you can do so in a variety of places! Once quick note though, some of the art can be considered NSFW so please take note before clicking through. However, here are all of the main social media areas you can find Eris ReignhART:

We’ll be on the lookout for more highlights for next week, especially some weapon designs or unique posts just to mix it up, and thanks to everyone who takes the time to share, discuss, and support the creative side of this massive CODM community.
Next week we’ll be back with more feedback and general updates alongside news around the main Season 2 featured event – Pursuit!. See you then and take care!
