One main difference in the calendar above compared to other seasons is the inclusion of our Tournament mode which will now run all weekend long instead of turning on and off throughout the weekend! In addition to all the modes and events listed above, this season has so much new content like all the new operators and blueprints. You can get a look at some of the content dropping now and later in the season through our Roadmap below:
GHOST IN THE SHELL: SAC_2045 Collaboration -
As you might have guessed from our Seasonal Trailer, Roadmap, or the variety of posts we’ve made across social media since announcing the Season, Season 7: New Vision City is an extra unique, special, and content heavy season because of our collaboration with the esteemed anime GHOST IN THE SHELL: SAC_2045. This is the most expansive collaboration we have had in Call of Duty: Mobile to date with GHOST IN THE SHELL SAC_2045 characters being available in the Battle Pass, various Draws, and Themed Event. But it doesn’t just stop there, post-humans have invaded Battle Royale in the Isolated map and now players can help Motoko and the rest of Section 9 eliminate them as well as discover why they came to Isolated in the first place. Speaking of Battle Royale…
Battle Royale Updates
This year we have continuously brought improvements and new experiences to Battle Royale. Much like Season 4 and Season 6, Season 7 is bringing a new experience to BR for you all the enjoy. Instead of taking to the skies like we did last season with the Jackal, this season we are bringing you all a new BR Area with New Vision City, BR Class adjustments, and some new and unique BR Upgrades.
New Battle Royale Area – New Vision City
The ATLAS Corporation has built a brand-new area now live in Isolated. This area is in the southwest region of the map and covered with a spherical hologram that separates New Vision City from the rest of Isolated. Once you cross the outer boundary of the sphere you will be in the futuristic city with high-rise buildings, neon lights, and where it is always night. You will be able to enter New Vision City either by parachute or by vehicle and once inside you can travel to various areas within the city using an automated rail system that runs around the edge of it. There are also unique ATLAS supply drops to be found in this new locale which will refresh in permanent locations and contain powerful items. We know it will be easy to spend time in New Vision City, but be careful because there is still the circle, and this new area is far from the center of Isolated. And since there are no sitting vehicles in this area, if you need to make a daring escape you will need to spawn a vehicle at one of the vehicle spawn consoles. Check out the full flythrough of New Vision City below:
https://reddit.com/link/wfm52k/video/yrrasnk90lf91/player
Battle Royale Class Adjustments
The second adjustment we made this season for Battle Royale was overhauling the BR class system. The BR classes will now be sorted into 5 categories – Disrupt, Stealth, Support, Defense, and Trackers. Each BR Class within a category will share a passive skill, which are as follows.
- Disrupt – After activating skill, movement speed is increased.
- Stealth – Reduces movement noises.
- Support – Reduces recovery time.
- Defense – Reduces explosive damage and the impact of negative statuses.
- Trackers – Enemy footsteps can be heard from a distance.
*Yes, we know these are not what the names show as in-game now. They will be updated soon to match the above 😉*
This shared passive skill will replace the old passive skill for each BR Class. For BR classes that were effectively nerfed by replacing the old passive skill with the new group skill, the active skill will be buffed to balance the class. For example, Ninja’s original passive skill Dead Silence is stronger than the Stealth passive skill, so the active skill - Grapple Hook – can now be used more times. We will release a full tutorial video going into more details about these changes on our YouTube channel so be sure and keep an eye out for that!
Battle Royale Upgrades – Cybernetic Implants
The final major change about Battle Royale this season is the unique upgrades players can earn in New Vision City. Post-humans have invaded Isolated and will appear throughout the map, most commonly found in high resource areas. Destroying a post-human will reward you with Cyberware parts. You can then exchange these Cyberware parts at a cybernetic augmentation station to get a Cybernetic implant. There are four Cybernetic implants – Bee Scout, Smart Shotgun, Virtual Vision, and Fists of Iron and their perks are as follows:
- Bee Scout – is a cerebral upgrade where players will have direct control over a Bee Scout drone. The Bee Scout can be used as a UAV to scout areas ahead.
- Smart Shotgun – is a nervous system upgrade where players will have control over a Smart Shotgun. Using this upgrade will change your current weapon into a Smart Shotgun whose bullets will track enemies.
- Virtual Vision – is an optical upgrade with a built-in identification system that will mark useful resources in the environment. Using Virtual Vision will also mark nearby exposed enemies in Red with their HP shown.
- Fists of Iron – is a body upgrade that gives players control of two Fists of Iron. Using Fists of Iron will replace your melee weapon for melee attacks, giving players a quicker sprint, the ability to smash the ground after a jump causing splash damage, and an execution move to use on low-HP enemies.

This Switchblade X9 is now available in tier 21 of the free Battle Pass, with the Epic version – Switchblade X9 – Kyoto Steel – available at tier 50 of the premium Battle Pass! Originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 the Switchblade X9 has come to Call of Duty: Mobile. The Switchblade X9 is a light-weight SMG with high mobility and low recoil for superior handling, basically the perfect weapon for all you fans of playing in a run-and-gun style.
Recommended builds include: Hip Fire Builds – become ultra-deadly at close range while maintaining maximum speed, Close-Range Builds – to increase ADS mobility to lock down any close range quarters on a map, and Mid-Range Builds – minimize bullet spread to win mid-range encounters. To see these recommended builds and more details about the Switchblade X9 check out the tutorial video below! Also, a third version of the new Switchblade X9 will be made available later in the season…more info on that in the Mythic section later in the update.
https://reddit.com/link/wfm52k/video/ddcgaj4c1lf91/player
New Operator Skill – Claw
Available at tier 14 in the free version of the Battle Pass is the new Operator Skill: Claw! Using this skill will turn your weapon into a high fire-rate weapon to use against your enemies for as long as the skill lasts or until you run out of ammo. Each use of Claw gives you 96 bullets, with each shot scattering two bullets. As with most weapons, hip-firing will give you a wider spread of your shots, while ADS will keep your shots more accurate. Claw’s bullets will also bounce off of hard surfaces like the ground and walls, which can then ricochet and eliminate enemies. We will be posting a full tutorial on our YouTube channel about the Claw so be sure and keep an eye out!
Seasonal Challenges
Like any new season, Season 7 brings a new set of Seasonal Challenges for you all to complete to earn Epic rewards. Below we will cover the first two Challenges of Season 7, but be sure and keep an eye out for info on the rest in future Community Updates.

SAC_2045 Mythic Drop
Coming to Call of Duty: Mobile on 8/6 UTC, is the first draw of the season - the SAC_2045 Mythic Drop. This drop contains the Epic Motoko – GHOST and the Mythic Switchblade X9 – Neon Legend. Motoko is leading the charge in eliminating the post-humans from Isolated and you can do so as the base Motoko available in the free Battle Pass this season, or Motoko – GHOST. Motoko – GHOST has more tactical gear and is dressed ready for battle, including her goggles which players will be able to toggle on and off. And the best way to defeat post-humans? Well, with the mythic Switchblade X9 – Neon Legend of course.
The Switchblade X9 – Neon Legend has three neon death effects, exclusive iron sights, an exclusive weapon inspection effect, and most notably TRACER ROUNDS. This will be the first weapon in Call of Duty: Mobile to have tracer rounds! The weapon skin will also change from the base coloring to yellow, to green, to blue, for getting 2, 4, and 6 eliminations respectively.
Mythic Updates
This season we have made some major adjustments to Mythic weapons too! As mentioned above, we’ve added tracer rounds to our latest Mythic, making it the first weapon in CODM to have this feature. Now you can blast your enemies away in colorized style! The second major change we made to Mythics is how they are upgraded. The upgrade path is now split into only 5 levels which are broken down below with some of the rewards each level offers!
- Level 1 ~ Core Reward – exclusive mythic attachments. Extra Reward – exclusive sticker.
- Level 2 ~ Core Reward – exclusive death effects. Extra Reward – exclusive charm.
- Level 3 ~ Core Reward – improved effects on weapon. Extra Reward – exclusive calling card and medal frame.
- Level 4 ~ Core Reward – tracer bullets. Extra Reward – exclusive elimination report effect.
- Level 5 ~ Core Reward – improved effects on weapon. Extra Reward – ability to share Mythic.
The third major change we made to Mythics is introducing the share feature. Now, once you have maxed out a Mythic weapon, you have the option to share it with teammates in an MP match. This can only be done in a limited amount of time near the start of the match so be ready to share your Mythic if you are planning to. The number of times you can share a Mythic weapon per round is equal to the number of maxed-out Mythics you own. If you are lucky enough to have a teammate who is sharing their mythic, picking it up will replace whatever weapon you currently have equipped.
Ranked Updates
A new Ranked Series is upon us, Ranked Series 4: Neko Invasion begins today! Like the other Ranked Series, there will be Ranked rewards for leveling up in both Ranked Multiplayer and Ranked Battle Royale which you can see below:
- Multiplayer Grandmaster III ~ Oden – Neko-Neko (Epic)
- Multiplayer Top 5000 ~ Calling Card – S4 2022 MP Legend
- Battle Royale Grandmaster III ~ Merc Combat Rig – PINKU-II
- Battle Royale Grandmaster III ~ Calling Card – Series 4 BR Legend
https://reddit.com/link/wfm52k/video/tlhz0drc2lf91/player
In addition to the new rewards and new season for Ranked, we have made a variety of adjustments and improvements to the mode! The first major adjustment is when a player reaches Grandmaster rank in either MP or BR, they will receive a Rank XP Bonus for the other mode that they are not Grandmaster in. This XP bonus will last until you reach Grandmaster in the other mode and will decrease in bonus value the higher rank you get. Players can also now earn a daily reward of bonus Rank XP with a “Daily First Win”. This will be awarded for your first win of the day for a varied selection of modes that will be refreshed daily.
We have also divided up the map playing pool in Ranked into two categories – Seasonal Maps and General Maps. Seasonal Maps will include newer maps recently added into Call of Duty: Mobile as well as older CODM maps that have been optimized for Ranked. General Maps will be the same pool of maps from previous seasons. Players can unlock Seasonal Maps when they get to Pro Rank. Playing in the Seasonal Maps pool will also grant teams. Good luck Ranking up out there!

Welcome to New Vision City, a cyber city ATLAS Corporation built on the Isolated islands.
In New Vision City, beautiful neon lights, ziplines, and the Core sit in Central Square. Come explore this city, where mysteries are yours to uncover.
GHOST IN THE SHELL: SAC_2045 Themed Event Gameplay - the post-humans have invaded Isolated and Public Security Section 9 comes to end the disorder.
By participating in the Themed Event, players may go to Isolated to explore the clues left behind by post-human invasion. Players will meet Motoko and other members of the Public Security Section 9 in the new area of New Vision City. Together, let’s rise against the post-humans and put an end to the new era of war.
Hacked Terminals and Rampaging GRUNT-52
With the invasion on Isolated, post-humans hacked into the terminals and took control of the majority of the AI. Soldiers that were left behind to handle the chaotic situation. Clearing the terminal virus and killing the rebellious robots will provide players the chance to receive cyberware parts.
Combat Readiness Center and Cyberware Installation
In order to fight against the post-human invasion, Public Security Section 9 and Atlas Corporation have built a Combat Readiness Center in Isolated. Players may exchange Cyberware parts for unique abilities. There are four options:
Bee Scout: Upgrade the Brain to control the Bee Scout to scan and detect enemies. The Bee Scout can also hack an enemy's brain to retrieve their real-time location.
Smart Shotgun: Upgrade the Neuro System to use the Smart Shotgun to track enemies who are within tracking range.
Virtual Vision: Upgrade the Body to gain the ability to sprint and jump higher. You will be able to use Fist of Iron to down an enemy.
Fist of Iron: Upgrade your Optical System to enhance the ability to perceive information by locating nearby high-tier loot and enemy shooters.
PS: During a match, the Cyberware installation cannot be reversed once it is redeemed, however, it will remain with the player even after the player revives.
Special Revive Effect
Public Security Section 9 brings a new 3D printing technology to help soldiers return to the battlefield. This technology will not be affected by the post-humans’ network.
Storyline Combat
Through the players' assistance, Motoko and her team have found a way to defeat the post-humans. Players, let’s fight alongside Motoko and the Public Security Section 9 team to the very end!
1. Adjustment on Passive Skill of Classes
In the BR mode, each class has a unique passive skill. However, the strength of these passive skills vary greatly and can influence players’ decisions on choosing certain classes.
We have adjusted the passive skills of the classes in this version so that players can have more options.
2. Other Updates
- BR Prop Hunt is available now in the customized room!
- The settlement of Rank XP has been modified to increase the proportion of performance points and decrease the proportion of result points.
- We have added a custom interface for the kill information HUD above the crosshair, with adjustable size, position, and transparency.
Comprehensive Update
1. Seasonal Camo Update
Seasonal camos, earned from Tournaments can now be applied to blueprints!The coverage areas for seasonal camo are different from completionist camos.
2. Comprehensive Optimization
- Optimized the arm swing frequency of sprinting animation. The arm swing frequency of some heavy weapons has been sped up without affecting the actual sprinting speed.
- Optimized the performance of the client-server simulation. The performance of teammates’ and enemies’ movement animations will be more accurate and smoother.
- Optimized the hip fire action performance of the following weapons: DL Q33, Locus, Outlaw, Koshka, Kilo Bolt-Action, SP-R 208, and MK2.
- Optimized the holding and firing performance of AK-47, AK117, and RUS-79U.
- Optimized the crosshairs of the high-magnification lens. Now the crosshairs are more detailed and realistic in ADS under the realistic scope.
New Weapon/Attachment
1. New Weapon
Switchblade X9: A light-weight SMG with high mobility and low recoil for superior handling.
2. New Attachment
Branson: Using factory automation, the first 2 bullets fire faster.
Balance Adjustment
1. Multiplayer & Battle Royale
Jackal
Jackal will no longer refresh while the airport is outside of the safezone.
CBR4 Nerfed
CBR4 is an SMG equipped with strong penetrating 5.7mm bullets. We initially hoped that CBR4 could exert a stronger dominance in the middle and close-range combat where it can assist players to deal with enemies behind cover with ease. However, this weapon turned out to be well-rounded in all kinds of situations with its high damage and damage multiplier, high penetration, and excellent mobility and stability.
We have reserved its penetration and stability, and adjusted the damage multiplier and ADS accuracy. This will require players to have higher aiming ability. Its sprint-to-fire is also adjusted to the average level of SMG.
ADS Bullet Spread: Increased
Damage Multiplier: Adjusted
Sprint-to-Fire Delay: Increased
Light Stock:
Sprint-to-Fire Delay Buff: Reduced
MAC-10 Nerfed
MAC-10 is an SMG with high rate of fire and superior mobility. Even with the previous nerf, MAC-10 still remains dominant at close range combat. Corner combats or combats in narrow alleys were exceptionally difficult situations for opponents to handle.
As we do not wish to adjust the mobility of this gun, this adjustment will only involve its shooting range and get-hit flinch. Adds a layer of We hope with the following changes, players will think twice while selecting this gun in some scenarios and they also need to control the engagement distance more accurately.
Shooting Range: Reduced
Get-Hit Flinch: Increased
PP19 Bizon Buffed
PP19 Bizon is the most controllable SMG once loved by players. However, PP19 Bizon has lost its shooting range and mag capacity advantages in comparison to other weapon updates. We have slightly increased its shooting range and reduced its get-hit flinch, hoping to enhance its effectiveness at medium combat range.
Shooting Range: Increased
Get-Hit Flinch: Reduced
PPSh-41 Buffed
Although the recoil of PPSh-41 was adjusted before, its horizontal recoil is still on the heavy side, making it hard to compete against the mainstream SMGs. Therefore, we have increased its damage-on-hit to make up for its heavier horizontal recoil.
Damage Multiplier: Increased
QQ9 Buffed
QQ9 used to be absolutely dominant at medium and close combat range. However, in the current version, the theoretical TTK at close range is only 10ms lower in comparison to the mainstream SMG. Therefore, we have increased its damage when hitting an opponent, as well as the probability of four shots to kill at medium and close range.
Damage Multiplier: Increased
AK117 Buffed
We have optimized its reload animation and slightly reduced its reload and empty reload time.
Tactical Reload Speed: Increased
Empty Reload Speed: Increased
DR-H Buffed
Shooting Range: Increased
Man-O-War Buffed
The Man-O-War is a heavy weapon that should theoretically gain an advantage at medium and long range, however, its current stability was not compatible with its heaviness.
Recoil: Reduced
ADS Bullet Spread: Reduced
Get-Hit Flinch: Reduced
ASM10 Buffed
ASM10 is not a high fault-tolerance weapon. Its heavy recoil and firing animation interfere with the aiming, making it a difficult weapon for players to control. It is time to adjust these downsides.
Recoil: Reduced
Influence of ADS bullet spread on the firing animation: Reduced
KN-44 Buffed
KN-44 was supposed to be a weapon with a high gameplay potential, however, it is limited by its current damage multiplier. Its horizontal recoil is also difficult to control, which limits its stability and overall strength.
Horizontal Recoil: Reduced
Damage Multiplier: Increased
S36 Buffed
As a light machine gun, the ammo capacity of S36 is too small and its horizontal recoil makes it difficult to control. We hope it can return to the battleground after the following adjustments.

HVK-30 Buffed
HVK-30 is not performing well in the current meta. We hope that, without any attachments, its performance can be improved up to an acceptable standard, and the strength of its large gauge ammo's high damage at close range can be exerted.

Passive Class Skills Adjustments
In previous versions, each class skill has a different passive skill, but these passive skills vary in terms of strength. For example, the passive skill of the Ninja class can reduce the footstep sound, which can provide great assistance to players in combat. The passive skill of the Hacker class, on the other hand, is only helpful when going against other Hacker classes.
Many players choose the Ninja class more to reduce the footstep sound, while others choose the Medic class just to reduce time required for healing. All these options limit the diversity of classes to some extent.
In order to provide a more diverse experience and choice, we are introducing a new system - the Profession System.
Class Profession
We have retained the passive skill of each class, and all classes will also share their profession-featured passive skill. We hope these adjustments can help the passive skills be more compatible with the active skills.
We have divided the classes into 5 professions:
Disruptor: After activating the skill, movement speed is increased for a period of time.
Include: Trickster, Trap Master, Smoke Bomber, Rewind, and Hacker.
Assassin: Reduces movement noises.
Include: Ninja, Poltergeist, and Pumped.
Rebound: Reduces time required for healing and bringing back knocked down teammates.
Include: Medic and Refitter.
Fortress: Reduces explosive damage and the duration of negative effects.
Include: Defender, Desperado, and Spotter.
Observer: Enemy footsteps can be heard from a distance.
Include: Scout, Clown, Mechanic, and Airborne.
Note: Unless stated otherwise, the passive skills above are all additional effects that do not affect the original passive skills.
Ninja Class:
As Ninja class is no longer exclusive to powerful passive skills, we have enhanced its mobility as a compensation.
Charge Number of Times: Increased
Trickster:
Trickster class no longer provides support for players to hear footsteps from a greater distance. Instead, it will provide a movement speed buff after activating the skill.
Airborne:
The Airborne class is a beneficiary in this revision for it gained an additional passive skill. However, its long charge time makes it incompatible with the current fast pace of combat. Therefore, we have reduced its charging time.
Charging Time: Reduced
Poltergeist:
In this revision, the Poltergeist class no longer gives movement speed buff after activating the skill. Instead, it will have a powerful ability to reduce the sound of footsteps. We think this passive skill is more suitable for the position.
Trap Master:
In this revision, the original passive is replaced with the movement speed buffs after activating the skill.
As compensation, the original passive skill - speed buff charges - are converted into a base value increase instead.
Charging Time: Reduced
Smoke Bomber:
In this revision, Smoke Bomber will no longer receive a movement speed buff after taking damage. It will receive the movement speed buff after activating the skill instead.
Refitter:
In this revision, the Refitter class is a beneficiary as it gains an additional passive skill.
Currently, the damage reduction of the Refitter requires multiple releases to stack up to its maximum effect, making it difficult to keep up with the current pace of combat. We have increased the number of charging times to create more flexibility.
Number of Charging Times: Increased
Spotter:
In this revision, we have replaced the original passive with a reduction in explosive damage and duration of negative effects.
We hope that the new passive can help the Spotter class combo up with its own active skill.
Rewind:
In this revision, we removed its original passive and replaced it with a movement speed buff after activating the skill.
Advanced Attachment – Horizontal Recoil Suppression Attachment (Legendary) – Nerfed
This attachment increases the ADS movement speed greatly, which brings abnormal speed.
ADS Movement Speed Multiplier: Reduced
That’s all for this Community Update! We hope you enjoy the new season and see you all in the next update!
