Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! It is time to submerge into a new season themed around naval combat and the return of Ghost. Season 5: In Deep Water has arrived and with Ghost returning from the dead with man’s best friend by his side alongside a variety of new and updated operators supporting him in his fight for revenge! Ghost will be available as a legendary operator later in the season, but today we have a brand-new Battle Pass alongside much more. First, a new season trailer!

This season continues the long-standing conflict of the UAC vs The Five Knights, but this time by sea. You’ll experience that and get to pick your side in the Sea of Steel featured event launching mid-season, but for now you can acquire a variety of operators from each side of that battle in the new Season 5: In Deep Water Battle Pass!

We’ll have details on most of that below, but one thing we did not highlight this week is the upcoming Rising Tides Draw.

Suldal Harbor is a medium-sized map composed of a large number of containers and a few buildings. There are various corners and bunkers between the buildings. The fighting around the apartment building will be quite fierce. Get a quick run-through of the map below:

Seasonal Challenges
We are starting this season, as with nearly all seasons, with two new seasonal challenges: BR Mastermind and Gung-Ho! Each of these challenges offer you a variety of new rewards, including some weapon blueprints, but there is a brand-new perk to snag. The Gung-Ho perk allows you to be a master of mobility by making it so you no longer have to stop moving to reload or throw grenades. Find all of the info on each the two Season 5: In Deep Water seasonal challenges!
Gung-Ho
This six-part seasonal challenge asks you to complete a variety of different tasks in Multiplayer, like using flashbang grenades and utilizing certain perks while getting kills in matches. Nothing too complicated about this challenge, but it does give you a chance to snag the Gung-Ho perk on top of top of 16,000 Battle Pass XP! Not a bad way to boost start that new S5 BP 😉.
- (Uncommon) FR. 556 – Helm
- (Rare) Sticker – Piranha Crunch
-
New Perk – Gung Ho
- (Rare) Cordite – Cut Wave
https://preview.redd.it/3w33mdgo83871.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c9e37eb7e04d19d39e61187dacc1aad3ec54824
BR Mastermind
As you might expect based on the name, this seven-part Seasonal Challenge is entirely focused on Battle Royale and just showing you can consistently get into the top. This challenge is really just all about giving you BR players extra rewards while doing what you do every day, collecting wins! Similar to Gung-Ho, this challenge provides a hefty amount of Battle Pass XP (18,000) alongside credits, weapon XP, and the following:
- (Uncommon) Mechanic – Helm
- (Uncommon) Clown – Helm
- (Uncommon) Outlaw – Helm
- (Rare) M4 – Cutwave
New Functional Weapons
There are two new functional weapons this season, a primary assault rifle and a secondary shotgun. The first weapon you’ll be able to get your hands on is the CR-56 Amax. This is a mid-range dependable assault rifle that has easily controlled recoil and a dependable bullet trajectory. Get a look at in action below alongside some breakdowns of its unique qualities:
https://reddit.com/link/o9wmy2/video/hs4hnodr83871/player
As you can see the CR-56 Amax doesn’t excel at short-range or long-range engagements, but thankfully the second new weapon this season, the Shorty, will help with those frantic close-up battles. This two-shot sawed off shotgun has the potential to a do a significant amount of damage at close range, but the bullet/pellet spread is significant to the point where it is going to be tough to hit any enemies that aren’t a stone thrown away. However, it can fire fast and handle individual enemies easily.
https://preview.redd.it/l6xk1kgw83871.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fbf8c748201c94b3fbd60a5cb6b167162e76680
As is our way, when the Shorty releases later in the season it will be through both a seasonal challenge and lucky draw at the same time. We’ll share more about all of that as we get closer to that release in mid-July, but for now make sure to grab the CR-56 AMAX.
New Operator Skill – K9 Unit
One of the earliest requests we remember for new scorestreaks, back in 2019 when Call of Duty: Mobile originally released, was for some form of the K9 unit scorestreak (or Attack Dogs depending on which game you are referring to) from previously released Call of Duty titles. Well, it isn’t here in the form of a scoretreak but now it is here both in Battle Royale and Multiplayer! See it in action:
https://reddit.com/link/o9wmy2/video/k8wu8te193871/player
The K9 Unit Operator Skill is best used when your enemies aren’t ready and waiting, while your dog is capable of easily taking down an enemy, it is not invulnerable. You can grab the operator skill in the free side of the Season 5: In Deep Water Battle Pass, Tier 14. For Battle Royale, we changed this last season but if you use the Clown BR Class it is now similarly an attack dog. Check it all out in-game now!
New Battle Royale Class – Rewind
Speaking of Battle Royale, we also have a new Battle Royal class coming later this season! Rewind will allow you to jump back in time 5 seconds, which may sound insignificant but can be utilized in very many different ways in combat. For instance, you can use to confuse pursuing enemies and get the jump on them or immediately escape an ambush.
https://preview.redd.it/vpalmfz393871.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=011a2ad40b320efab8d515df53385b27278709f7
The passive trait, Tactical Mask, will reduce the impact duration of flashbang and concussion grenade. You can try out this new class in late July through the Temporal Anomaly featured event. We’ll share a reminder and a video once we get closer to that release date, so keep an eye out!
Call of Duty Endowment – Challenger Pack
Every so often we are grateful to be ale to work with the Call of Duty Endowment to release new content in Call of Duty: Mobile that helps support veterans in the U.S. and the UK. Today, alongside the Season 5 release, we have the Challenger Pack releasing with a variety of items up for grabs.
https://preview.redd.it/my4om2k993871.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8ecc2021d27236940e0caabd69acd947cab65d7
This is a limited time offer, starts June 29, 2021 (00:00 UTC), and ends July 12, 2021 (23:59 UTC). The pack is one time purchase, similar to a bundle, that provides the following Epic quality items:

- MW11 - The Standard Issue
- Calling Card - In Reverence

Credit Store Update

Support Options
While we don’t have any bug reports or feedback to bring up this time, we’ll be keeping an extra watchful eye out for all of that as per usual with the start of any season. We’ll be checking community areas, but we’ll also be looking to our support teams to share reports up through the channels below. Please utilize those options below if you are in need of support.
- In-game support chat
- Player Support Website: Contact Us
One extra shout-out here, but if you are experiencing Desync Issues we are still trying to information on that to help better identify region-based server issues that could be contributing to that. However, whenever you report this type of issue to our support channels please make sure to do so with a clip showing it occurring. Visual examples are a huge help with these types of issues.
Final Notes
We have plenty coming throughout this season, not just releasing today, like the two operators below, more maps, more modes, and of course the Sea of Steel featured event! We are excited to see you all react to that content, but we also just wanted to note that we know most of this content is based around Multiplayer.
https://preview.redd.it/0ttk001f93871.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=b28ba0eba82826a22ef8170e1cd0189e9addb609
We aren’t able to make sweeping Battle Royale changes as often and quickly as Multiplayer, but be rest assured they are still coming on top of a significant piece of new content that doesn’t quite fit into the BR or MP frameworks. While our seasons may be fast and dropping every month, these big content changes are tied only to the larger updates that land every two seasons.
With that said, we are excited to start to share about some of that soon but we are just waiting for it all to fall into a place where we’ve locked down release timings. Thank you all for always asking for and seeking more ways to enjoy Call of Duty: Mobile, we hope to be able to fulfill those requests throughout the rest of 2021. For now, enjoy the new season and we’ll see you next week with more!
