Call of Duty: Mobile Season 3 patch notes – Scrapyard, Battle Pass, more

Activision have released the patch notes for the latest update to their popular mobile FPS Call of Duty: Mobile, introducing the game’s third season with the return of a fan-favorite map, a new Battle Pass, and more.

Call of Duty: Mobile became an immediate hit with players, allowing people to take the legendary first-person shooter with them wherever they go, with both iOS and Android owners squaring off in the game as they fight for dominance.

The game’s second season officially kicked off back in November, and two months later, Activision are back again with another major update to the game, giving fans a bunch of new content alongside some important bug fixes and improvements.

The headline addition in the Season 3 update is the return of Scrapyard, a map made famous on Modern Warfare 2, and now available on CoD: Mobile for the first time. The map will be available to all players from January 16, meaning you don’t have to spend any cash to get your hands on it, and is a direct remake of the map from the original game, meaning it will look exactly how you remember it once you jump into the action.

A new game mode for the battle royale portion has also been added, with a 20v20 mode named Warfare also available for free. The mode will feature “multiplayer-style fast-paced action” inside the battle royale mode, with infinite respawns. The team that reaches 150 kills first is declared the winner.

A new Battle Pass is also on the way, based on Infinite Warfare. Players will be able to unlock Phantom and FTL characters from the game, alongside some new futuristic weapons in the form of the Chicom – Irradiated Amethyst or the Type 25 – Geometry. The developers have also slashed the pass from 100 tiers to 50 but confirmed that the same amount of gear and loot will be available when it launches on January 19.

The Season 3 update also sees the game’s Ranked Play mode reset, giving players a chance to improve their ranks from last season, along with a host of bug fixes and improvements.
