Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! We are one week away from that big juicy update that we’ve been mentioning for over a month now and shortly after that update launches we’ll be getting a brand-new season of content to you all. Between that new season and update we’ll have some big new features, a new ranked series, some great events that are brand-new to Call of Duty: Mobile, and of course all of those weapon balance changes.
First thing first, over the last week you may have seen some mysterious images and videos we’ve shared across our social media channels for both mobile and our console/PC counterparts. We’ve released quite a few teasers so far, but in case you missed it here is the most recent video:

While we haven’t shared any specifics about what this actually means we have announced the name – ‘80s Action Heroes! We can’t shed any light about what exactly that will be, not yet, but keep an eye out for new blogs, social posts, videos and much more as we get closer to that May 20th launch date!
Now onto the actual update today! We have some the last events and modes for the season launching this week, another lucky draw, a chance to grab the new Battle Royale Class – Spotter, and of course some bugs and feedback. Let’s jump into all of that below.
Here is a quick look at all of the newest events and others launching throughout the week:
- 05/12 – 05/19 ~ Attack of the Undead 20 (MP)
- 05/12 – 05/26 ~ Gadget Mule Seasonal Challenge
- 05/14 – 05/19 ~ Alcatraz (BR)
- 05/14 – 05/19 ~ Games Master
- 05/14 – 05/19 ~ Target Locked
- 05/14 – 05/19 ~ Grind (MP)
- 05/14 – 05/20 ~ Shipment 10v10 (MP)
- 05/14 – 05/27 ~ The Order Draw
- 05/15 – 05/20 ~ Extra! Extra!
- 05/18 – 05/31 ~ Synaptic Crash Draw
*All Dates UTC
While there is plenty going on for this final sprint of Season 3, there is a lot more coming next week and the week after. We still have a few things to highlight today, but this community update will be comparatively short & sweet compared to the last couple of beefy ones.
Target Locked
The newest Battle Royale Class – Spotter has arrived and with all of its destructive power in tow! This class allows you to call in a cluster strike on your targets (similar to the scorestreak from Multiplayer). It will prove to be a useful offensive tool for tackling groups of enemies or as a suppression tactic when trying to escape a chase. Additionally, the passive trait will help you deal with airborne enemies. See it all in action here:

You can snag this one in the Target Locked featured event! That event asks you to complete a variety of tasks in Battle Royale, like using other classes, dealing damage, and landing in high tier loot zones (the orange areas), to snag that class, several BR camos, and some credits. Jump in now to grab the new class and anything else Season 3 specific before we roll into the next season!
The Order Draw
The High Priest of Chaos has made his way on over from the Call of Duty: Black Ops series and he has come ready to fight for his beliefs with the spiritually enhanced PP19 Bizon – Invocation. That legendary weapon blueprint comes with a uniquely Season 3 design and kill effect. Check it all out in action:

This draw comes alongside Effigy series of weapon blueprints, a new emote, and high-quality animated calling card. Outside of The Order Draw, there is one more draw related offering coming this season, the Synaptic Crash Draw. That one features a futuristic Siren – Artifice operator and a legendary ICR-1 blueprint whose kill effect digitally deconstructs your enemies. Check it all out this week!
Next Season & Update
The next time we’ll talk will be as our in-game update is releasing and we are throwing patch notes at you alongside information about 80s Action Heroes, but as per usual the season itself does not come out with the update. Season 4 will be coming slightly later and with some new maps, challenges, events, modes, and a brand-new Battle Pass!
We have only released one teaser so far for this season, but we have more coming up this weekend so keep an eye out! Here is that MP map teaser in case you missed it.
Seasonal Challenges Recap
Near the end of every season we like to re-highlight some of the best challenges out there in order to make sure everyone is aware of some of the best free rewards out there, whether it is a new weapon, operators, weapon blueprints, perks, or more. Here is a recap on two of the best challenges Season 3: Tokyo Escape has to offer!
SMG Supremacy
The seven-part Seasonal Challenge isn’t available just yet, but it is Multiplayer focused and as you might expect 100% focused on challenging your SMG skills 😉. The tasks here are mostly about winning matches and taking out enemies using certain weapons (like the new PP-19 Bizon) or with certain attachments equipped. This isn’t a Shovel level challenge, but it does have some unique rewards including nearly 20,000 Battle Pass XP and the following:
- (Uncommon) SMRS – Paper Star
- (Uncommon) GKS – Paper Star
- (Rare) Spray – Lil Devil
- (Epic) HS0405 – Stone Mason
Quick Hands
This seven-part seasonal challenge mostly revolves around showing your skill with other pistols, like MW-11 or J358. Some tasks simply require kills with pistols, some require using specific attachments, and some require some precision with headshot kills. For completing all of the tasks you can earn 20,000 Battle XP, some credits, and the following items:
- (Uncommon) Knife – Paper Star
- (Rare) Spray – Dragon Delight
- (Rare) Avatar – Mecha
- (Rare) ICR-1 – Birthstone
- New Functional Weapon – Renetti

There are several other Seasonal Challenges available this season as well and through them you can acquire a significant amount of Battle Pass XP, weapon XP, credits, and many weapon blueprints. If you are still struggling to complete the Season 3 Battle Pass then completing these challenges is one of the best ways to quickly fly through those levels. Best of luck to everyone trying to complete the BP!
Feedback & Bug Reports
Over the past several updates we’ve gone over 20 pieces of feedback and bug reports, many of which are still relevant now. In order to not continuously repeat the same information and to keep this last S3 update brief, we’ll only be doing a quick response to a few newer topics this week. Last week we went over the next update, text issues, updates for the For You, system, and the free sword. Here are the topics for this week for both bugs and feedback:
- Radioactive Agent Redemption: Warzone Tokens – Our teams have resent tokens many times over the last week, but we are still seeing reports of missing tokens. We’ve already extended this event to allow for more time to help anyone missing a token, but our teams are still at work trying to help as many as possible before this event ends.
- New Gunsmith Updates – We have a lot coming in the next update and while we cannot specify everything in advance, sometimes by choice just to hold off until we have patch notes or announcement, we can at least say there are some updates to Gunsmith coming in this update. These are the types of changes that are more in the background with the interface and technical aspects of the system, but they are still worthwhile and coming soon!
- Battle Royale Bugs - First off, thank you to the huge number of people who responded last week to help us investigate BR related issues! We have circled all of those up to our teams to test in yet another attempt at tackling some of those popular and frustrating issues like ADS delay, random ejections, and rarely being unable to heal.
- Battle Royale Updates – While we don’t have anything massive like a brand-new map coming to BR in this next update we do have a significant number of changes and improvements. First, new weapons are coming! You’ll be able to snag a variety of new weapon blueprints and types on the Isolated map now. Additionally, there are many balance changes coming too, like adjustments to Trap Master and Operator Skills (like the Annihilator and War Machine). There are many other changes coming too and you’ll be able to see that next week in the patch notes!
- Season 4 New Weapons – We are already seeing questions about this pretty often and we always like to subtly tease at least one of the new functional weapons long before the season start! You’ll see at least one of those this weekend and we can’t wait to share about one that since it is only the second time we’ve added a new functional weapon of a certain type.

Final Notes
Something we’ve been trying to do all season from an art direction is really highlight this unique, colorful, and stylistic Season 3 theme. Our creative teams have diving into this challenge full force and we’ve seen some videos, images, and music that have fully embodied that potential. Last week we shared possibly our most artistic approach to highlight Hidora Kai, Spectre, Zero, and Scarlett. However, this week we took a narrative approach to showing a rivalry between Mace – Final Guard and Hidora Kai – The Boss.
This is also a "sound on" type of video thanks to some strong voice over work for both Mace and Hidora Kai. That voice over was created by the actor Chris Jai Alex for Mace and the actor Greg Chun for Hidora Kai! We are honored to have them help bring these characters to life. Take a look at the video and let us know your thoughts!
While we can’t share much about next season yet, especially the theme, we hope it will similarly provide countless other opportunities to share about new operators, weapons, features, and more releasing throughout that release. We look forward to more opportunities coming soon with S4 😉!
Season 3: Tokyo Escape has been a phenomenal one and thank you all so much for being equally excited about it! The memes, the discussions, the responses to our videos and updates, and even feedback have all been a pleasure to see thanks to what type of community you all are. Even with bug reports, which are inherently a negative thing because you are experiencing something not working correctly, it so rarely a report out of anger. Most Call of Duty: Mobile players report not only to try to fix the problem for themselves, but to help improve the overall game.
You all are excellent and thank you for helping make this game the robust and continually improving offering that makes it one of the best mobile shooters in the world! Take care and see you next week with the new update, we can’t wait to see what you think of everything new launching soon.
