Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community!! We are truly thrilled and excited to finally share our brand-new Call of Duty: Mobile Anniversary Season (Season 11) with you all! We’ve been talking about it in some way or another for such a long time, so have you all in the community, and now you can finally access everything we’ve been building, tweaking, and getting ready to surprise you with. First and foremost, what’s a season launch without a season trailer? 😉

Yes, we can finally confirm that is Alcatraz! This is a brand-new BR map now available in Call of Duty: Mobile alongside another brand-new space, The Club. We’ll have plenty of details about all of that below in the update, but we have various missions, tasks, and events tied to both of those with a wide variety of rewards to grab. Alongside that, we have a new Battle Pass, new functional weapons (two this season!), two Multiplayer maps coming later, and more events starting around Halloween.
Of course, there is far more going on than just that short summary and we’ve outlined that all below. Before we go into any of that, we wanted to first address the big question out there about Ghost. For now, all we can say is he is coming soon and he is not in a crate!
Lastly, if you are seeing any issues after this new update please keep reporting them. We’ve already had several reports sent up and we’ll be keeping an eye out for more. For now, let’s jump into the update and go over all of the new content!

*All Dates UTC
Before we dive into many of those specifics, like the many unique details related to The Club and Alcatraz, let’s take a quick glance at some of the major events dropping this season with this lovingly crafted Season 11 Roadmap!
First and foremost, yes there is a bit coming around Halloween but we are going to leave that out of this community update and focus primarily on what is launching today or soon. We’ll cover the Halloween events in detail later on in another community update and potentially with some blog posts, videos, and everything that we like to throw your way. For now, it is all about the Anniversary events!
The Club
This unique new space is accessible now to all players (reminder, update your game)! The Club is designed to help you celebrate everything related to the COD: Mobile Anniversary, but also a nice way to throw a bunch of swag at you at all while encouraging you to play new mini-games, Alcatraz, and MP or BR matches in general.
There is a lot to check out there and you can do it all with either a small group of friends or with other random players. Here is a quick list of everything you can do in The Club:
- Mini-games – Play various games, like Darts or classic Activision arcade games, earn coins, and convert those to Anniversary Points
- DJ Reaper In The House – Select from a variety of different songs to play for you and everyone else in the club
- Anniversary Machine – A variety of tasks or games will all lead to you collecting anniversary coins, which you can then you use on the Anniversary Machine to snag a variety of rewards
-
Treat Yourself – Compete with other players to earn the most anniversary points in order to rise to the top of leaderboards, which will get you the best rewards but there are all rewards available for all players who participate
- NPCs Need You – There are various classic Call of Duty characters around the club and they may provide you missions (along with some lore) if you seek them out
- Seek Secrets – No hints here, but there is more beyond what we’ve listed here and you’ll be rewarded for finding them
Lastly, just a heads up that while The Club will remain accessible for quite some time, some events and rewards tied to The Club will be available for a shorter period of time. Make sure to check those timers and to snag all of the rewards while you can!
New Battle Royale Map - Alcatraz
While The Club is full of new content, rewards, and surprises, there are also tasks there that push you try out our new Battle Royale map – Alcatraz! This small but action-packed BR map from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is now available in Call of Duty: Mobile, but you need to do a short mission to unlock it first.
This new Battle Royale map isn’t exactly the same as the Black Ops 4 version and has had a few changes made to mold it specifically for COD: Mobile. Here are the basics:
- 40 Players. Squads Only, and 5 Respawns Per Round (per player in the squad)
- No Vehicles
- Classes cannot be pre-selected, they can only be looted on the map
- When you pick a new class your class energy transfers to the new class
- Each time you spawn you have a random uncommon AR or SMG equipped
- Classes currently available are: Scout, Ninja, Medic, Defender, Smoke Bomber and Hacker
- You spawn out of a portal in the sky and only have a short time to decide where to land
- You can find weapon and ammo vending machines throughout the map
Make sure to find various events in The Club tied to Alcatraz or the usual featured events area in order to earn rewards and loot while exploring this brand-new map. As with all new things, play it extensively, let us know what you think, and if you run into bugs or issues make sure to report them. We’ll be keeping an eye out for those, but most of all we hope you enjoy it all and best of luck conquering the island 😉

Check it all out in-game now!
Cranked Mode
You may have tried this new Multiplayer mode that launched with the update on October 12th, but if not you are missing out on a fast-paced and adrenaline filled mode that is all about keeping the action going. Cranked Mode asks you to turn it up to eleven by fighting non-stop.
The better you are at going on a killstreak (assists count too) the more points you’ll earn. Of course, if you happen to slow down for too long you may explode, but that’s all part of the fun! Take a look at our new video that breaks that all down and make sure to try this mode out while it is available.

Seasonal Challenges
Another new season means more new seasonal challenges with great rewards to snag! Like usual, we have three out right now with more releasing throughout the season. Within these first three you can grab a new perk, Tactician, a variety of new weapons camos, and a huge amount of Battle Pass XP. Let’s dive into all three for some specifics.
Connoisseur
This six-part seasonal challenge is focused on using scorestreaks and in particular using UAVs and the Advanced UAV (available in the new Battle Pass). Of course, there are some other Multiplayer specific tasks here and overall you can grab a variety of different rewards.
- (Uncommon) FHJ-18 - Black Top
- (Rare) Spray – Metamorphosis
- (Rare) Sunset Frame
- (Rare) Chopper – Static Electricity
Heavy Duty
This five-part seasonal challenge has you tackling a variety of specific tasks in Multiplayer focused around perks, tactical equipment, and using them to dominate in matches. Completing these tasks will let you grab a brand-new perk, Tactician, which lets you use two pieces of tactical equipment. Bring on two trophy systems! Take a look at the rewards:
- (Uncommon) Flashbang Grenade – Black Top
- (Uncommon) Axe – Black Top
- (Uncommon) BK57 – Black Top
- (Common) Perk – Tactician
- (Rare) QQ9 – Static Electricity
Sub Gunner
Submarines or submachine guns? Hopefully you were thinking SMGs since that is the prime focus of this seven-part seasonal challenge! Use SMGs in general, the HVK, and the new Fennec (found in the Battle Pass) to complete this one. As you might expect, the rewards are dolling out more SMGs to try out:
- (Uncommon) Frag Grenade – Black Top
- (Uncommon) QQ9 – Black Top
- (Rare) HVK-30 – Static Electricity
- (Rare) Sticker – Dual Wield
- (Rare) Spray – Tragedy
-
(Epic) MSMC – Hot Rod
These are all live now, so best of luck and check back into the next couple of community updates to get the information on the next batches of seasonal challenges!
Ranked Series 7
Alongside this new season and everything releasing today, we also have a brand-new Ranked Series! For those who aren’t familiar, Ranked Series are what we call each round/season/iteration of our Ranked mode events. These generally run for about two months and each series has its own theme, its own rewards, and occasionally different rank adjustments.
Now that Ranked Series 7 is here that means everyone has either gone back a few ranks, or entirely reset, to help balance the start of the new season. We have a brand-new set of rewards and more so than any previous Ranked Series, including the lovable zombie T.E.D.D. – Where to Sir? on the Battle Royale side and an incredibly rare Kilo Bolt-Action blueprint (there has only been a few so far) available to earn in MP Ranked. Of course, there is plenty more to snag:
Small correction to the above image: Avatar – Hero was changed to an avatar for T.E.D.D., which should be reflected in-game. Best of luck climbing the ranks again and we hope you snag all those unique rewards!
New Functional Weapons
There are two brand-new weapons available to earn and experiment with this season: The Fennec and the NA-45. These are both releasing at different times throughout the season, with The Fennec SMG releasing right now and the NA-45 sniper rifle coming later in the next set of seasonal challenges. First, let’s take a look at the Fennec.
This extremely fast firing SMG is a master of close quarters combat. It is designed to support hip-firing and praying & spraying. Basically, get close to your enemies, fire quickly, and watch them melt underneath that fire rate. Additionally, this is the first-ever Akimbo (dual wield) weapon in Call of Duty: Mobile! However, that specific Akimbo attachment will not be available until early November. For now, you can unlock this in the new Battle Pass and here is a look at it in action.
https://reddit.com/link/jbczui/video/m4998whhi5t51/player
The NA-45 is a sniper rifle that has explosive rounds, the first of any Call of Duty: Mobile weapon to have this unique type of ammo. Every other shot you fire triggers explosive damage that can hit multiple players. To balance this powerful ability, the overall damage of a single shot is lower than other snipers but precision shots (headshots) can still take an enemy in one hit.
You’ll be able to grab this one soon and we’ll have more on it in the next update!
King Map
We have another new Multiplayer map coming out later in the season and like Pine last month this one is primarily designed for close-quarters combat in the modes Gunfight or 1v1 Duel. King comes from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and it is a symmetrical map designed for balance and fair play with a traditional three-lane setup.
https://reddit.com/link/jbczui/video/uvu3ay1qi5t51/player
The first option most players want to take is to head through the center to potentially get a height advantage on your enemies, but you’ll also become an easy target and be easily heard as you stomp across the wood panels. You can also head through the containers on the side to have plenty of cover, but you’ll have to be aware of chokepoints and ambush spots.
There is a lot to learn about this map and thankfully we have a King Map Snapshot (blog post) ready to go for you with tips, tricks, and a general overview of the map. This map will be releasing later in October. Keep an eye out for the specific date in a later update.
Credit Store Update
One quick piece of content to highlight in this update is the usual credit store update! This one contains a perk, Quick Fix, along with an array of weapons. Here is the full list and check them out in-game now:
- (Uncommon) SMRS – Eagle Feather
- (Rare) Man-O-War – Blood in the Water
- (Common) Perk – Quick Fix
- (Rare) Outlaw – Copilot
- (Epic - Blueprint) Chicom – Oil Spill
Also, just a reminder that in our next credit store update this season you’ll be seeing the Man O War – Cardinal, which you all voted for, and for 10K credits (50% off from 20K credits).
General Changes
Outside of all of the specific pieces of content or changes mentioned above, there are also quite a few smaller ones we’d like to single out and mention.
- Daily Missions Redefined – We’ve changed around how these work as of Season 11 and they are now offering more rewards with a clear path, similar to Featured events.
- Battle Royale Vehicles Improved – There were some quick patch notes about this, but they don’t do this improvement justice. Now when you jump into Isolated, you’ll find that not only do vehicles handle better, overall, but the distribution of vehicles has been revamped to make it so that you’ll have to utilize vehicles more often if you are on the outskirts of the map.
- New Attachment Types – This season there are multiple new attachments available, like Large Caliber Ammo for the HVK-30, 5.35 Caliber Ammo for the AK47, Akimbo attachment for the Fennec, or various new attachments influencing explosive damage introduced with the NA-45.
- Clear All Button – Are you one of those players who hates constantly seeing “new” icons? Well, now you can click on a fancy new “clear all” button that will get rid of those notifications. Enjoy!
- Arsenal – This new library of weapons is specifically designed for Legendary weapons (or above 😉). You can now see what you own or what else is currently released in all of their dynamic glory.
- Ranked Accolades – On player profiles you can now see many times players have previously climbed to the Legendary Rank (the highest rank in Ranked Mode).
You can find some mentions of all of this in the patch notes released on October 12th, which you can find in-game on login or in this community post. Keep looking around in-game to find even more changes and kudos to the many players who have already found and discussed many of these changes.
Bug Reports
We’ve already observed a number of bugs and reports since the update a few days ago, so here is some information on a few of those that we already investigating or working on.
Graphical Adjustments
When this update released, we had some adjustments made to how devices are perceived in relation to graphical settings. For instance, your device may have been able to run everything on the highest settings and then after these adjustments you may only see medium or high graphical options.
After observing a number of posts about this, some of which seemed abnormal based on the intended changes, we have adjusted this back to how it was prior to the update. If you still don’t see the options you had prior to the release please try reinstalling. Thanks for the many immediate questions and responses about these changes.
Overheating Issues (iOS)
Another change we made when the update released was related to the in-game framerate (FPS) cap. We increased the FPS cap on iOS and for some devices that means they are now pushing your device, by default, too hard to the point where it may cause issues.
This can result in overheating unless you go into your settings, lower the frame rate cap, and test other graphical settings to see if any of these changes are causing overheating. Please make sure to check these settings if you are running into, like overheating or crashing, after this update.
Dynamic Skins No Longer Animated
We had received various reports that a few different dynamic skins, like the Nuclear Fallout series, were no longer working for some players after this update. Our teams are currently investigating these issues, so hang tight and keep an eye out for future updates on this one.
Support Options
Lastly, we’ve mentioned multiple times how important it is to report any bugs or issues you are seeing with new updates so please make sure to reach out through any of support channels. While we do see and report bugs through community channels, it is generally only large and clearly identified issues while our player support teams can go through all kinds of reports and in a much more detailed way. Here are those main channels:
- In-game support chat
- ATVI Assist Twitter: Activision Support (@ATVIAssist) / Twitter
- ATVI Assist Facebook: Activision Assist - Facebook
- Player Support Website: Contact Us
Final Notes
Well, if it isn’t clear from this massive post, which doesn’t even touch on anything coming around Halloween or in early November (which are all part of this season), Season 11 is by far one of the largest releases we have had in Call of Duty: Mobile’s existence. Our teams have worked tirelessly to create this update, to refine all of this content, and to keep Alcatraz and The Club as secret as possible.
We are ecstatic to be able to finally share this release with you and to show you that Season 11 Anniversary has a wealth of content for everyone! There is still more coming later this season, but for now enjoy and explore everything releasing today.
Happy 1 Year Anniversary Call of Duty: Mobile community! It has been a pleasure to support this community over this last year and it has been an honor to be able to write over sixty community updates since our original launch in 2019. Time to hit The Club, take the fight to Alcatraz, and to start celebrating!
