Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! We are nearing that halfway point for Season 4: Spurned & Burned and that means it is time for the featured event – High Noon Chase.

All of that is still ongoing and available on top of new events launching this week with plenty more coming soon.
A previously undisclosed operator seen in the above image may or may not be coming next week. That’s all we are saying on this topic 😉. Also, for anyone already yearning for a hint of the next season you’ll be happy to know that we are dropping some info on that this weekend! Just keep an eye out on our social channels like usual. We’ll start to ramp that up like usual once we get closer to Season 5.
For the majority of the update today, we’ll just be going over new events, operators, seasonal challenges, feedback, World Championship 2021 info, and calling out some bugs. Head on into the update below and with the latest schedule of events leading the way!

*All Dates UTC
While we don’t have breakout sections for all of these, we do have the return of Attack of the Undead 20, Battle Royale Warfare, 1v1 Duel, and a Summer version of Prop Hunt. For you veteran players, you’ve likely seen a version of those modes at some point or another, but some of these are rare (like 1v1 Duel) or recently updated (like Prop Hunt) and worth trying out again. The first topic coming up today is High Noon Chase and that one is all new just for Season 4: Spurned & Burned.
High Noon Chase
This is the featured event for Season 4: Spurned in Burned, where you become a Sheriff to chase a stagecoach full of bank robbers through the Wild West. The closer you get to catching the stagecoach, the better the rewards. Once you finally catch up you’ll be able to snag two different epics. Here is the full list of rewards:
- Tengu – Black and Gold (Epic)
- Echo – Steam Clock (Epic)
- Charm – Good Luck (Rare)
- Sticker – Song for the Fallen (Rare)
- DR-H – Iron Hunter (Rare)
- HS0405 – Iron Hunter (Rare)
- Arctic .50 – Iron Hunter (Rare)
- PDW – 57 – Iron Hunter (Rare)
- ORV Camo – Iron Hunter (Rare)
- Boat Camo – Iron Hunter (Rare)
- Outlaw – Wanted (Uncommon)
- Motorcycle Camo – Wanted (Uncommon)
- Knife – Wanted (Uncommon)
- Scout Camo – Wanted (Uncommon)

To get all of these rewards you’ll just need to play MP or BR games to gain Sheriff Stars as you chase the stolen stagecoach from node to node. Once a node is complete you will be able use your Sherriff Stars to buy that node’s reward. Also, be sure and keep an eye out for certain maps or combinations of items that will give you bonus Sheriff Stars for certain nodes. Additionally, using the Volution weapon set from the just released Drillhead Draw will get you a 50% bonus to earning Sheriff Stars.
As you try this event be sure to leave feedback or start discussions about it in community spaces. Our teams are always on the lookout for ways to tinker and adjust future or similar featured events, and we often forward up those discussions to them. For now though, jump in-game and take up the High Noon Chase to start earning these Epic rewards!
Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2021
Stage 1 of the Championship is well underway with the second qualifier weekend live now! All you need to do to qualify for Stage 2 is register now, play Ranked Multiplayer matches, and collect those wins. You’ll have to hit a point threshold, based on your rank and if you played during the previous weekend, and how many wins you need will be determined by all of that.
https://reddit.com/link/nxppa6/video/xc0yksqz0p471/player
By doing all of that you can earn some epic rewards, like the beloved Manta Ray – 2021 MVP. Some rewards are given based on wins while others are participation based, so even if you don’t manage to qualify you’ll still earn some rewards along the way.
We’ll have two more qualifier weekends coming in June and then a short break before entering Stage 2, which is team based! You can find an overview on that general schedule here alongside rewards info, rules, participating regions, and much more: https://www.callofduty.com/mobile/esports
Speaking of rules, we have updated the competitive settings for the World Championships! This can be found over on the settings section of the previously linked website, but to share a quick summary here are some Loadout Restriction additions:
Restricted Operator Skills
- Bull Charge
- Ballistic Shield
Lethal Utility
- Trip Mine
- Thermite
- Molotov c*cktail
Tactical Utility
- Heartbeat Sensor
- Gas Grenade
Score Streaks
- Counter UAV
- Shock RC
- Hawk X3
Keep an eye out those pages for more information about rules changes and additions as we get closer to the later stages of the tournament! This subreddit also has a nice FAQ about that as well if you want to learn more and group up in advance of Stage 2. For now though, we have some news about region availability.
We saw some confusion about whether or not the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2021 was also taking place in Garena. Last week the Call of Duty: Mobile Garena team has already confirmed this is happening in that region as well and in July! Head on over to their Instagram or other social pages for more information and specifics on that.
Lastly, for this tournament we were able to create some uniquely designed rewards thanks to some collaboration with Ferg, BobbyPlays, and Hawksnest. We made a special behind the scenes video just for that and also pulled in some of our designers (Draco, Aamod, and Brian) to help explain that process. Check it out below and a huge thanks to the community for continuously supporting this type of behind the scenes content!

Ranked Series Changes
Tied to the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2021 is our newest Ranked Series. The higher your rank, the more points you earn in the championship, and the main way you qualify during Stage 1 is just by playing Multiplayer Ranked matches after registering. However, this isn’t about that and more about some changes we made to the Ranked Series with Season 4.
Of course we have new rewards, like Seraph – Precious Metal featured there, but we also have new additions to the mode. First, map voting! Many players in the community have been asking for this after seeing it in some tests and it is finally here this season. Any player that is PRO rank or above can now vote for maps with a basic majority rules system to decide which map is selected.
Secondly, we’ve added more statistics to help you analyze your own performance. You can see the following statics under the “Data Details” button in the Ranked menu.
- Match History in this season (wins, total matches played, and more)
- Average score
- K/D Ratio
- Top three weapon types and a variety of stats for them
- Rank History showing what ranks you got to in previous seasons
Not all of those are necessarily new this season, but still worth calling out in case you didn’t know they were there or if you want to nostalgically look at all of your previous season’s achievements. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more ways to improve Ranked Mode in the future and thanks to everyone who have kindly made posts appreciating these new additions.
Clan Wars
Last week when Clan Wars launched we wrote a pretty hefty community update focused entirely around that new feature and how it works. Since then, we’ve primarily been looking for feedback and issues related to that and have been collecting that to send back to our design team. While doing that process we have been seeing some confusion around rewards, the high cost of epic items, and how that will work for each season of Clan Wars.
Clan Wars is a new and evolving feature and at the moment it is not meant for you to be able to acquire every epic item in a single season. However, when this first season ends the epic rewards will not be removed, instead new ones will get added to provide more options. We want the rewards to feel unique and that when you see someone with decked out in Clan Wars gear you can immediately recognize their clan’s hard-fought accomplishments that earned them that gear.
All in all, we see the feedback around rewards and are keeping a close eye on it all as we navigate the waters of this unique new feature. Keep it coming alongside any other reports or discussions relating to Clan Wars!
Seasonal Challenges
While these two challenges below launched earlier in the week they are still worth calling out in case you haven’t taken a look yet. Plus, everyone loves a new melee weapon! We have Razor Sharp, which brings with it the brand-new melee weapon, the Sickle, and Unstoppable Streak with the AGR 556 - Iron Hunter. Those both ask to you tackle various tasks but will reward you with a variety of other rewards to earn while doing so. Here are all of the details below!
Razor Sharp
The seven-part Seasonal Challenge is fittingly all about taking down enemies with melee attacks, using perks that utilize or support melee, and earning medals related to excelling in melee combat. No nukes no needed this time around (shovel joke). On top of earning the rewards below for doing this, you can also earn 21,000 Battle Pass XP on top of some credits.
- (Uncommon) FHJ-18 – Carrion
- (Uncommon) S36 – Carrion
- (Rare) Spray – Punk Skull
- New Weapon - Sickle
- (Rare) Calling Card – Moon Mesas
Unstoppable Streak
This five-part Seasonal Challenge is a simple one asking you to use scorestreaks and use them well! Three of the tasks are general while the other two are focused on the new Hawk X3 scorestreak, which is available to snag in the free side of the S4 Battle Pass. All in all, an easier and quicker affair than the Razor Sharp challenge, but on top of the main three rewards below Unstoppable Streak also offers 13,000 Battle Pass XP.
- (Uncommon) J358 – Carrion
- (Rare) Charm – Boots on the Ground
- (Rare) AGR 556 – Iron Hunter
Jump in and start working on them both now alongside four other Seasonal Challenges! Once Holger Strike releases next week on 6/16 (UTC) all Seasonal Challenges for Season 4 will be available.
New Operator Rosa
Every season most of our new operators tend to come alongside the Battle Pass or Lucky Draws, and in this season we are lucky enough to have two brand-new operators releasing in draws: Vagr Modir and Rosa. Vagr Modir released quite a while ago as a part of the Fallen Valkyrie Draw, while Rosa is brand-new and just came out yesterday in the Drillhead Draw. Let’s do a quick character bio!
Rosa is a specialist out of Mexico who fights for the U.A.C. and is skilled in quietly taking down her targets from a distance or close quarters. She is well trained, well equipped, and ready to go toe-to-toe with the Five Knights. She will join the ranks of many other versatile, skilled, and powerful female operators like Scylla, Scarlett, Vagr Modir, and Manta Ray.
Early on in Call of Duty: Mobile we saw many requests for operators representing different nationalities, countries, and themes. We are thrilled to have Rosa join that ever-expanding group of unique operators to help fulfill that request for better representation. She is voiced by the talented Jeannie Tirado and you can find her available in the Drillhead Draw, which will be available until June 24th (UTC).

Feedback & Bug Reports
This week we don’t have much feedback to go over, but instead will focus almost entirely on recently reported bugs and long-term issues that aren’t necessarily related to a single season. Let’s dive in!
Razor Sharp – Seasonal Event Medal Bug – We have seen reports that the melee master medal task of this event is not tracking correctly. We are investigating, but in the meantime please try use a different type of melee weapon. We have seen several examples of this only occurring with baseball bats but working with other melee weapons.
BR Classes Trapmaster and Clown Abilities – This issue is related to the abilities of these classes still occurring after the player who used those class abilities dies. We aren’t sure yet if this is a confirmed bug or intended (however, most classes abilities disappear after death), but thanks for the reports on this! We are investigating it.
Enemies Not Showing Up in Sniper Scopes – This bug isn’t related to the recent season but we’ve seen it cropping up again. This is one of those more long-term issues that we’ve tried to look into the past and could not replicate it, but we are trying so again thanks to some new threads and information on the topic. Fingers crossed!
Alex - Bounty Hunter No Unique VO - This is confirmed to be a bug and this is a straight forward "we are aware of this bug" situation where we are hoping to fix it relatively soon in a hotfix.
Account Security – Everyday there are attempts by awful people to gain access to CODM accounts. We do have some support options to help with this, but it is very limited and depends on what type of account you are using to log into CODM. The best thing to do is encourage usage of 2FA (two factor authentication) or other security methods to secure your account. It is common practice to use stronger security methods with most accounts these days, especially 2FA, so please consider doing so for whatever you use to login into CODM, whether that is Facebook, Line, Google, iOS, or a Call of Duty account.
Support Options
We still regularly reach out to community areas for info on issues or feedback, but don’t hesitate to reach out to our support channels as well if you ever need help, especially with anything specific to your account, like purchasing issues or account issues. Here are our main support channels:
- In-game support chat
- Player Support Website: Contact Us
This is one of those wonderful but tough weeks where the number of community highlight options we’ve seen are significant. We’ve seen art, great threads and discussions, weapon designs, and a lot of great memes in the last week. In the end, we ended up deciding to highlight some unique, vibrant, and poignant avatar designs by user HappyForeverEver.
Avatar Seraph - Precious Metal by HappyForeverEver
The first piece was we came across was a wonderfully crisp, emotive, and colorful version of Seraph – Precious Metal (one of the current Ranked Series rewards). This one we appreciated immediately for its fantastic use of black, orange, and gold, and also because of just how well-defined Seraph’s face is. There are many clear details to appreciate right off the bat, but also many small ones like the lines beneath her eyes or how despite the mask you can still visualize her expression.
Avatar Fallen Valkyrie - Vagr Modir by HappyForeverEver
HappyForeverEver’s previous creation is instead focused on Vagr Modir from the Fallen Valkyrie Draw that came out right before Season 4 began. For her we similarly noticed many fine touches that helped her character really shine through the art, like the sense of serene created through relaxed facial features, the way her hair is draped in layers instead of just flat, or how the background scenery perfectly fits with her aesthetic and theme.
It is just amazing work all around and we are thrilled to be able to share it with more members of the community who might appreciate the art, the approach, and the skill displayed here.
Next week we’ll be back with a post focused around a unique new draw releasing and the brand-new Holger 26 LMG! Surprisingly, after that update there will only be a short time left before we already approach our pre-release period for Season 5 and we’ll start to have more and more content being shared out there. First though, we can’t wait to share the rest of Season 4: Spurned & Burned with you and we’ll see you for more of that next time!
