COD Mobile Season 8 content

COD Mobile has a lot in store for the competitive mobile gamer, from new maps to a new Battle Royale class, a new weapon, and more.

First and foremost, the new weapon is the ZRG 20mm bolt-action Sniper Rifle, unlocked at Tier 21 (free version) of the Battle Pass. The new Battle Royale Class, Igniter, unlocks at Tier 14, also in the free version of the battle pass.

There’s also a new Perk and a new Map for players to be aware of. Check out the official description of the new map called Express and the new Perk called Spycraft below.

New Express map:

“First introduced in Call of Duty®: Black Ops II, Express takes place at a high-speed rail transit center where Operators battle inside the terminal and out over the tracks. Its half-circle layout features tight corridors and plentiful long-shots. Navigate through the parked train to flank enemies from one platform to the next, or climb up to the southern power position and fire at enemies below. However, you approach the map, make sure you’re not on the tracks when the bullet train comes barreling through.”

New Spycraft Perk:

“Give your foes a taste of their own medicine using Spycraft to hack land-based enemy items, turning them to your own use. Earn the Perk through a Seasonal Challenge for the ability to hack the Trophy System, Trip Mine, SAM Turret, Sentry Gun, Transform Shield, and Munitions Box. Once the manual hack is complete, they’ll start working in your favor.”

So what else is there? Well, there’s, of course, a new battle pass filled with cosmetic goodies to unlock. There’s also a limited-time Operation: Spy Hunt event, new seasonal challenges, a store update and the Butterfly Knife coming your way on 7 September 2022.
