Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! We may have just released a new public test build only two days ago but we are back with your regularly scheduled community update. We were planning to re-highlight the test build here to encourage participation, but you wonderful people filled up our 30,000 registration slots in just 24 hours! Thank you for the interest and for all of the wonderfully positive threads, posts, and replies about the content in that build.
We do have some Season 6 content already being shared and with more coming soon. In case you didn't see it, here is the first asset we've released related to that:

*All Dates UTC
One piece of content out this week is Battle Royale’s Alcatraz map! The always cycling map is generally available once or twice each season for a short period of time and for Season 5 it is only going to be available for just this one week until July 22nd UTC.
While you are jumping into that unique Battle Royale experience make sure to check out the Surviving Alcatraz featured event to snag some extra rewards by completing related tasks. Now, let’s move onto the most recently released event this week with an all-new map and mode!
Aniyah Incursion & Ground Missions
Another new map has come over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019; Aniyah Incursion features a larger than normal map meant for far more players than the usual 5v5 match in Multiplayer. The map features a large and explorable palace at the center that has multiple floors, crumbling rooms, and many close-range corridors. However, there is also the surrounding palace grounds, which consists of open streets, small buildings, courtyards, and gardens. Take a glimpse at the map below:

Launching alongside Aniyah Incursion is Ground Missions, a MP mode designed for bigger maps like this. Ground Missions is basically Domination but bigger! It is 10v10 Domination with 5 different capture points and a higher-than-normal score limit. Games are longer, more chaotic, and more action packed with constant combat occurring all over the map.
In addition to Ground Missions you can also jump into some good ole fashioned 10v10 TDM in the Aniyah Incursion 24/7 playlist! When playing either mode make sure to check back into the Featured Event section to see what you need to do to earn some rewards from the Royal Takedown event. This is all live now and until July 22nd (UTC). Check out the new map and mode and let us know what you think!
Ghost – Retribution
Rising from the depths of Season 5: In Deep Water is the long awaited and legendary Ghost - Retribution! The fan favorite Ghost returned from the dead earlier this season in the comics (found in-game by the Battle Pass) and as of yesterday we have our first ever Legendary variant of Ghost. He comes with his faithful dog, Riley, in tow and ready to help him take revenge against those who are going to wish he stayed dead.
Like the two other legendary operators who came before him, Ghost – Retribution comes equipped with a variety of unique cosmetics! For the first time for a legendary operator, many of these cosmetics are based in Battle Royale instead of Multiplayer. Here are the details:
- Custom Lobby Screen
- Custom Opening BR Animation (with Riley)
- BR Class Clown Spawns Riley instead of the usual K9 Unit
- Ghost Styled Death Box
- Holographic Kill Counter Watch/Device
Of course, Ghost – Retribution isn’t the only thing to acquire as a part of this and you have the whole Omnipotent Draw! The draw has the first-ever legendary Shorty, the brand-new weapon that also just released in the Seasonal Challenge Sawed Off Shenanigans (details in the next section). This weapon fires fiery rounds that instill fear and incinerate your enemies. See Ghost in action below:
Ghost - Retribution in Battle Royale
Lastly, the draw is not just all about Ghost and that legendary Shorty – Last Chance. The Omnipotent Draw contains many other items themed and styled to Ghost, like a sleek and black tank camo in BR, the M4 – Vengeance, Emote – Put on a Show, and more. Get a glimpse of some of those items below and check it all out in-game now!
New Seasonal Challenges
This week the long sought-after Sawed Off Shenanigans Seasonal Challenge is now live in-game! You might have guessed the reward from the name…but completing this Seasonal Challenge will give you the newest shotgun to Call of Duty: Mobile the Shorty – a small but mighty shotgun perfect for all you fast paced players who love run-and-gunning but also perfectly capable for those playing more tactical in BR. However, there are also two other challenges available this week. Find all of the info below!
Sawed Off Shenanigans
It’s fitting that 6 out of the 7 parts to this Seasonal Challenge require you to use various shotguns, in BR, MP, or even with your Shotgun blinged out with your favorite charm 😉. In addition to the Shorty, the Sawed Off Shenanigans Seasonal Challenge will reward 20,000 Battle Pass XP and the following:
- Echo – Helm (Uncommon)
- Charm – Puffer Punk (Rare)
- Frame – Rhinestone (Rare)
- New Functional Weapon – Shorty

- (Uncommon) FHJ-18 – Helm
- (Uncommon) Type 25 – Navigator
- (Rare) Avatar – Octopus
- (Rare) Pharo – Cut Wave
Rifle Ace
This seven-part seasonal challenge is your first and only chance to grab an Epic weapon blueprint on top of a variety of other rewards! You’ll need to play MP matches, get kills with assault rifles, use specific loadouts, and have the new CR-56 AMAX available to use. If you manage to do all of that you’ll snag 19,000 Battle XP and the following rewards:

- ATV - Eyes in the Dark (1.2K credits)
- Operator Skill - Ballistic Shield (2K credits)
- .50 GS – Droplets (3k credits)
- SMRS - Rust Trim (3k credits)

Feedback
We’ve seen a variety of feedback come over the last week and most of it is actually addressed in our public test build that is going on right now. Many of these will be called out directly in the upcoming patch notes for Season 6, but in advance here are a few topics we’d like to address:
- Battle Royale Content – As some players have noted, the current test build has a bit of Battle Royale Content in it. Some of it is a sync of content from the Chinese version of Call of Duty: Mobile, like improvements to grass, while others are based around small tweaks to areas of the maps or general optimizations to how well Battle Royale runs.
- Multiple HUDS Layouts – We are also pleased to say that this is also in the current test build! This is one of the longest requested and most consistent pieces of feedback from the community, so it is a pleasure to announce that it is coming.
- Public Test Build – We know the first test build filled up surprisingly quickly, but we are likely to have another one coming before Season 6. Additionally, just a reminder that while we love reading threads and posts about the content in there, please make sure to use the in-game survey to report issues and feedback.
- Clan Wars Store Refresh – In Season 6 there will be new items being added to the Clan Store on top of the ones that are already there! It is essentially a new “season” of Clan Wars in the same way that there will be a new Ranked Series starting alongside S6. However, the main epic items from the first season of Clan Wars will remain since those are meant to be long-term goals that take a significant amount of currency to acquire.
Bug Reports
This past week we’ve haven’t seen any new bugs sent up outside of an issue with a certain Clan Wars node being mis-matched for Summer Showdown, but last week we reported over a dozen issues we are currently investigating, need help looking into still, or already have fixes planned. Head on over to the previous community update for that full list!
Support Options
We still regularly reach out to community areas for info on issues or feedback, but don’t hesitate to reach out to our support channels as well if you ever need help, especially with anything specific to your account, like purchasing issues or account issues. Here are our main support channels:
- In-game support chat

This week we are back with another community update and one that we thought was perfect with the release of Ghost - Retribution! User Dante_Bloodworth has been making Call of Duty: Mobile art for over a year and sharing it with the community, and recently they've starting making Tengu style mask's out of paper. The first of which we saw was one for Ghost!
If you are like us and didn't know what Tengu masks are, well we looked it up and are happy to share! They are masks based on mythological creatures in Japanese folklore. Tengu are a type of god or supernatural being that is meant to look like a mixture of human and avian (bird-like) features and are frequently featured in many art forms in Japan.
Other than masks and physical art, Dante_Bloodworth also has some digital designs of operators that we also appreciate. The one that we gravitated to the most was their design of Nikto. The detailed included on the operator are fantastic and they've framed Nikto wonderfully. Check it out:
You can find more of Dante_Bloodworth's work on Instagram, which includes art on a wide variety of other forms of entertainment, like TV shows, anime, and musicians. Thanks again to the community for supporting many types of creative across the many community areas. We'll keep an eye out and hopefully have another artist to highlight next week.
That is for this week's community update, but be sure to keep an eye out on our social channels as we get closer to Season 6 and the last batch of Season 5 content that has yet to be released! It is all coming rather quickly, but we can't wait to share it all with you. The next update should be an exciting one to say the least! See you then and take care everyone.
