Call of Duty pro players Austin ‘SlasheR’ Liddicoat and Team Envy’s Patrick ‘ACHES’ Price got in a hilarious war of words after a fan claimed ACHES had mentored the 100 Thieves star.
The pair were part of Team Envy back in 2016, but after failing to finish above 5th in any of their opening Black Ops 3 tournaments together, ACHES was dropped from the squad.
With many of Call of Duty’s current top stars having previously played with Price, a picture posted on Twitter that showed ACHES as a mentor for players like SlasheR and Ian ‘Crimsix’ Porter caught Liddicoat’s eye.
SlasheR immediately responded to the tweet by saying: “Fool didn’t teach me a damn thing,” a claim that ACHE’s refuted, stating that he did, “but by recent performances, you must have forgotten it all.”
Of course I did, but by recent performances you must’ve forgotten it all.
“You keep talking reckless and I’ll fuck around and take your spot [on Team Envy] so Huke has some damn help,” responded Liddicoat, with Price taking aim at 100 Thieves’ shaky start to the Black Ops 4 season by telling SlasheR: “Before you worry about other teams, get 100 Thieves some damn help.”
Help? Before you worry about other teams, get 100T some damn help shit
Clearly entertained by the exchange, Dylan ‘MadCat’ Daly got involved, attempting to arrange a fight between the former teammates, labelling the back and forth as “the best thread ever.”
This is the best thread ever fuck me you man just gotta scrap next
While ACHES and SlasheR went head-to-head on social media, the pair will soon face off on Black Ops 4 as Team Envy and 100 Thieves have both been drawn in Division B of the CWL Pro League.
Before the two can square off, Division A will take center stage, with the full schedule for the opening week of the tournament released. You can make sure you don’t miss any of the action by using our handy CWL Pro League hub.
Activision has announced some of the first official details about the Call of Duty: Mobile 2021 Season 1 update, titled New Order, including information on the brand new weapons coming to the game, the upcoming battle pass, new modes, and more.
We’ve known that some more content was coming to CoD Mobile for a while now but now, we have some of the most important details about the update itself.
Thanks to a blog post from Activision, we now know that the New Order update, which the developers are counting as “Season 1” of the new year, will include a original new map, two weapons, some modes, and, of course, a wholly-new battle pass for fans to sink their teeth into.

Two new weapons in CoD Mobile Season 1: FR .556 & SKS
ActivisionThe FR .556 burst rifle and the SKS marksman rifle will be coming to COD Mobile soon.
Like other CoD Mobile Seasons, The New Order is set to introduce two brand new weapons into the fold. The first is the FR .556 burst rifle, which is modeled after the FAMAS from previous COD games. The weapon was previously teased by the developers a few days ago, making its inclusion here not that surprising.
The other weapon, which is set to be introduced sometime in mid-February, is the SKS marksman rifle, which was featured in Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone as a post-launch weapon.
Currently, there’s no specific rollout date for the SKS, meaning players will just have to wait and see when it gets released.
ActivisionThe SKS will be coming to CoD Mobile during the next season.
New original map
As previously announced, the update will also see the inclusion of a brand new map: Requiem. Unlike most of the other maps in CoD Mobile, this one will be completely original, made from the ground up for the title.
According to the devs, the new map will take place in the “dilapidated remains of a shopping complex” and seems to have a decent level of verticality to it. Of course, only time will tell how it actually plays.
ActivisionA wholly original map, named Requiem, will be added to the game with the New Order update.
New modes
It wouldn’t be a CoD Mobile season without some new modes coming to the game. First up is 3v3 Gunfight, which, of course, is just a variant of the fan-favorite mode already featured in the game.The second is Attack of the Undead, which is returning after it was added and then removed from the game in mid-to-late-2020. In this mode, which is similar to Infected from previous CoD games, a team of survivors has to fight against undead players.
Finally, battle royale fans will also be able to try out Blitz, a variant of the normal BR mode with smaller circles and less time, which results in a faster-paced experience. All in all, it sounds like a version of Mini-Royale from Warzone.
Activision3v3 Gunfight and Attack of the Undead will be coming to the game during the New Order update.
New Battle Pass and skins
Of course, a new battle pass is on the way as well. While we don’t have the full tier list at this time, we do know that a new Operator Skill, a new Flashbang, a new Concussion grenade, and the FR .556 rifle will be available for free.
The premium battle pass will also include some cyberpunk-inspired skins (no, not the game, just the art-style) for FTL, Prophet, Spectre, and David Mason, as well as some new blueprints for the Cordite, Locus, the FR .556, the HBRa3, and the HG-40.
ActivisionPlayers will be able to unlock a slew of new weapon blueprints in the battle pass.
New Fight for Humanity event coming soon
Finally, the developers have also confirmed that a new event called Fight For Humanity will be coming to the game sometime during the season, but failed to give an exact release date.
The event will task users with choosing between two teams, Atlas or Cordis, and will reward players for completing certain tasks as a member of each team. Other details about the event are scarce but given how far we are from the release date, it should be only a matter of time before we learn more.
