CoD: Mobile Season 6 update patch notes: new maps/modes, Battle Pass, more

A new update has arrived for Call of Duty: Mobile as Season 6 gets ready to release, including new maps, game modes, and much more content for players.

An old favorite, Rust, is being added from Modern Warfare 2, and is now live in-game for everyone. There’s also a new 1v1 Duel mode available on a brand-new Wild West-themed map called Saloon.

It’s no surprise then that the Season 6 Battle Pass, called “Once upon a time in Rust,” comes with an Old West theme.

Even though the patch notes dropped on April 29, the Season 6 Battle Pass won’t be available until April 30th or May 1st depending on where you live, with more content expected to drop throughout the month.

Rust, which many Modern Warfare 2 players still have fond memories of, is now live after being added as the new multiplayer map for Season 6 – but it isn’t the only new map coming.

Some time in early May, Capture the Flag will also be coming to Mobile for Season 6 – but to keep with the Wild West theme, players will battle it out over hoards of gold instead of banners.

CoD: Mobile is also changing the way they approach in-game events with this development, with all future updates being tied to the “cadence of a seasonal release or month,” with four new categories:

• Featured
• Seasonal
• Daily
• More

Veteran Call of Duty fans will also notice the return of the “Kill Confirmed” game mode, which forces players to move as dog tags cluster across a heated battleground full of fierce fighting – a mode very appropriate for Rust.
