Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! We’re back with a community update focused almost purely on events, modes, and more of the usual affair that we share with you week by week. However, this is a larger than normal update today because our team will be unable to share one next week. So, consider this your two-week community update!
Before we jump in, here’s a look at one our recent videos that is all about David Mason – Enforcer. One new type of video content we’ve been creating this season is focused around highlighting new operators that release throughout the season, whether it is Gunzo, Ether, or now David Mason.

If you haven’t already, check out the Season 1: New Order Battle Pass and see what kind of rewards you’ve been accumulating on the premium side. That’s one of the best parts of the BP in any game, you can always jump in mid or late season to acquire a variety of premium content instantly assuming you’ve been playing regularly and leveling up that Battle Pass via Seasonal Challenges, events, or through playing any MP or BR matches.
One reason we are bringing up the Battle Pass now, we are about to have our first teasers for Season 2 release into the world this weekend! While Season 2 may still seem far away, with its March release date, there is only a few weekends left until we are ready to share it all with you. Keep an eye out on our social channels as we start to share details about that content each weekend. For now, let’s jump into the update and go over everything coming in the next two weeks.

*All Dates UTC
As we’ve been doing all season long, there is a mix of Battle Royale, MP Playlists & Modes, and events releasing throughout the week. Through all of that you can acquire credits, Battle Pass XP, weapon XP cards, new operator skins, a BR Class, and of course the brand-new SKS! There is plenty to dive into, but what will you focus on and complete first?
Seasonal Challenges
The last of the Seasonal Challenges for Season 1 have arrived and now you can complete all seven of them! Throughout those challenges you can receive an epic weapon blueprint, 10s of thousands of Battle Pass XP, a new tactical grenade, dozens of camos, and now the new functional weapon – the SKS. This is the second Marksman Rifle to arrive in CODM and it is a fast firing (at least compared to the Kilo -Bolt Action) way to tackle mid-to-long range engagements.
BR Buff
This eight-part Seasonal Challenge, as you might expect, is entirely focused around completing tasks in Battle Royale. These various tasks consist of everything from using certain BR Classes to taking out enemies with an Annihilator (available only from Airdrops). For doing all of this you can grab a bit of BP XP of course, but also the following the rewards:
- (Uncommon) Scout – Warp
- (Uncommon) FHJ-18 – Warp
- (Rare) ORV – Trance
- (Common) New Marksman Rifle - SKS

New BR Class – Desperado
This is your class if you’ve ever played Multiplayer and wanted the Shield Turret scorestreak but in Battle Royale! With Desperado you can drop a stationary Shield Turret with unlimited ammo and unleash a rain of bullets on your enemies. This turret offers protection, but observant players will quickly find the vulnerabilities in that defensive shield.
However, all classes come with a passive perk and for Desperado we’ve brought back a Call of Duty classic – Last Stand. This old school perk used to make people rage quit back in the days of the original Modern Warfare (2007) due to how often it will surprise people. With Last Stand, you’ll pull out a pistol when you are downed and if you manage to take out an enemy in this state then you’ll revive yourself. Check it all out below:

Battle Royale Blitz
The newest Battle Royale mode is back once again and for the last time in Season 1: New Order! We’ll still have other BR modes coming, like Warfare the following week, but if you missed out on Blitz the first time then make sure to try it out now. A quick recap for anyone who missed it in our first update of Season 1, but Blitz is a fast-paced version of your usual classic Battle Royale.
You’ll drop into a smaller area of the map that is jam packed with supplies and on top of watching out for enemies you’ll have to keep an eye on the circle since it will be closing far quicker than normal. This mode is meant to give you a shorter, faster, and more action-packed alternative. Try it now until February 25th!

Attack of the Undead 20
The fan-favorite of Attack of the Undead is getting an upgrade! You heard about it on season launch when we revealed the existence of this mode variant, but for anyone unfamiliar Attack of the Undead 20 pushes you to bigger maps with more players. You will now have not only more allies to band together with against the swarm, but you’ll have (potentially) more undead swarming the map.
This mode comes alongside the Undertakers Storm: Swarm event! This event is just an excuse to give you various rewards while playing Attack of the Undead 20. Just by playing the associated playlist you’ll start earning rewards like the MW11 or M4LMG - The Numbers on top of a calling card, sticker, and Purple XP Card. Simple, right? So just get out there and try your best to survive against the swarm!
India Cup Pro
Back in December we announced that we were participating in an India Cup Pro with the Esports group Loco organizing it. The tournament ended a short while ago and with Team Mayhem taking first place! Coming up in second S8UL and in third Heroes Official. Congratulations to all of the top teams!
You may remember Team Mayhem as a top contender in the Other region for the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2020 and with the India Cup Pro they’ve shown once again that they have what it takes to rise to the top! Keep an eye out for more CODM competitive events and thanks to everyone who supported this tournament.
Pestilence Draw
Every time we release a new functional weapon, like the SKS or FR .556, we have a way for you to earn it for free through an event or the BP, and a premium option available through the form of an epic or legendary blueprint. As we covered above in the Seasonal Challenges section, we have the new Marksman Rifle the SKS releasing today and through the Pestilence Draw you can find the first-ever blueprint of this classic rifle!
This legendary SKS blueprint is dubbed the Particle Splitter, both for its futuristic design but also because when you take out enemies it folds them into the fabric of existence. If you have no ide what we might mean by that, then don’t worry since we have a nifty video ready to show that effect off! Check it out along with the new Witch Doctor – Wrong Medicine:

Valentine’s Day Event
In our last community update we had mentioned that we planned for a Valentine’s Day event to drop on our official social media channels and in collaboration with many others. Unfortunately, we ran into last minute issues with executing and releasing this event.
However, we are determined to find a new time similarly appropriate to launch a similar event in Season 1 and we’ll share about that once we lock down a new plan. Don’t worry, we still always find a way to give out items to you all 😉
Feedback
Instead of bringing back new feedback this week, we are going to highlight and reference where you can find information on feedback topics we’ve covered since the Season 1 launch. We are doing this for both feedback and bug reports since we are seeing the same questions asked every week, sometimes even during the week we covered that topic in the community update.

Just to continue off of Feedback, this is also a list of every bug report we’ve addressed or brought up in the last several community updates. However, please note that we always have many other smaller issues being investigated and worked on in the background. Our team just tries to capture some of the most commonly discussed ones in the community.

- (Feb 5th) Blitz Mode Performance – We don’t have any specific fixes for making these high player count modes perform better, but some upcoming general performance improvements should help and please experiment with adjusting graphical settings.

We are back with another community highlight this week and one that is once again focused on creative weapon designs for CODM! Player Šeøul (community name Klausable7) has been experimenting with and sharing weapon designs for just about a month. In that time they’ve created about 10 designs, covering everything from recent Valentine’s Day style designs to the ever-popular Orbit design.
One thing we’ve loved to see about their designs, like comparing their first AK117 – Orbit Design to this HBRa3 variant, is just how much they’ve managed to make the weapons look brand-new instead of camo reskins or variants. On top of that, we can’t help but appreciate and support their skills that have clearly grown over that month.
Not only do we clearly feel they’ve grown, but so does the community as we’ve seen their posts gain more and more upvotes with this stellar QXR – Survival of the Fittest post being their first to break that 1K upvotes milestone.
We hope to see plenty more of Šeøul’s designs in the future and we’ll be keeping an eye out for more art, designs, unique posts, and anything worth highlighting in these updates. Thank you all for supporting them and for supporting each other in your creative efforts!
Just to reiterate what we said earlier in this update, but there will not a community update next week. Our team will still be around throughout the week to respond to posts, threads, tweets, and all of the usual while cracking stupid jokes or using far too many 😉 emotes. The next update will be out in the first week of March.
By then we’ll have plenty of teasers out there for Season 2 and we’ll be able to start sharing some more details about what is coming both in that & the game update dropping just before it. Make sure to check out the first of those S2 teasers dropping this weekend. We hope you all take care and we’ll see you on the next update!

. However, we are afraid for your first two questions we don't have any news to share about changes to the melee system or new weapon types coming. 
. We just want to give it some more time before determining which to keep around or prioritize. It seems unlikely that we would have both available at the same time, but we'll see in the near future.
