[/i]It’s back to the battlefields of World War II, soldier. None other than Victor Reznov himself introduces Conquest, the latest Season for Call of Duty: Mobile, telling the origin story of the deadly NOVA-6 gas. Rumor has it there’s still some out there.

Conquest is packed with new content, including a major weapon update with the new Gunsmith feature, a new weapon class – marksman rifles, the Shipment 1944 map, a new perk, new lethal equipment, an updated Battle Royale map, and much more.

Read on for a deep dive covering the latest Season in Call of Duty: Mobile.

▣ Earn More Rewards in the New Conquest Battle Pass

This Season adds a new, fully stacked Battle Pass system with plenty of content across both free and premium tiers, including new characters, weapon skins, weapon charms, a new scorestreak, a new weapon, and more. Let’s go over some of the highlights:

[b]▣ Battle Pass Free Tiers

[/b]At Tier 14, all players will unlock the new Shield Turret Scorestreak — hunker down with it in a high traffic lane and blast enemies from behind its built-in cover. Reach Tier 21 to obtain the Kilo Bolt-Action, a new functional weapon with excellent mobility and one-shot kill potential. Other free tier highlights include the rare RUS-79U – Obstacle (Tier 36) and BY15– Obstacle (Tier 41), plus the Toy Soldier weapon charm at Tier 46.

[b]▣ Premium Pass Tiers

[/b]Purchase the Premium Pass to potentially unlock all of the content available in the Conquest stream. Start the Season strong with series-favorite Victor Reznov unlocked right at Tier 1, followed by the notorious Richtofen at Tier 12. Earn epic weapon skins like the QQ9 – Trendsetter at Tier 40 and the Kilo Bolt-Action – Lazarus at Tier 50. Also unlocked at Tier 50, an awesome new skin Nikto-Stronghold and a legendary calling card – Take Cover will prove your dedication to the fight.

▣ Explore the Near Infinite Possibilities of Gunsmith

The new Gunsmith feature adds a deep layer of customization to all weapons, with over 50 new attachments, 20 new reticles, and 60 weapon levels.

Level up your weapon to unlock attachment options across a variety of categories, including Laser, Stock, Rear Grip, Barrel, Optics, and more. Equip one attachment per category with a maximum of five total attachments for major customization power. Improve your weapon’s handling speed, damage range, or movement speed while aiming down sights — the options are nearly endless.

Gunsmith adds new weapon cosmetics, too! Equip weapon charms, one per gun, to add extra personality to your loadouts, and while you’re at it slap some stickers on your weapons, with the ability to attach multiple stickers per gun.

Weapon customization just got a whole lot more fun.

▣ Unlock the Amped Perk and Thermite in New Seasonal Challenges

Conquest brings new Seasonal Challenges for even more earnable content, including the new Amped perk. Amped improves your weapon swap speed and rocket launcher reload speed, perfect for taking down air support in the blink of an eye.

Later in the season, unlock the new Thermite lethal. The Thermite sticks to surfaces upon impact and burns violently for several seconds, inflicting periodic damage to enemies in the immediate area.

With the addition of Gunsmith, players will be able to unlock a new item in Seasonal Challenges: blueprints. Blueprints are developer crafted weapons designed for a distinct playstyle. Blueprints often feature attachments that have yet to be unlocked and can help players better understand the range of weapons capabilities. Earn some blueprints and test them out in Multiplayer and Battle Royale and maybe you’ll get some ideas to craft some of your own epic creations in Gunsmith.

▣ New Multiplayer Map: Shipment 1944

The fan-favorite Shipment 1944 is now live on Call of Duty: Mobile! Controlled chaos at its finest.

This tiny map takes place in and around supply crates waiting for pickup at the beach, with crossed lanes merging players together in the center and an outer perimeter where the fighting never stops. Prime your grenades to take out those pesky LMG campers and keep up the pressure as you land kill after kill.

Watch out for the open crates scattered throughout the map. Clear out any enemies inside and take up their position to greet them with your barrel when they come rushing back.

▣ New Battle Royale Locations, Armor Plates, and More

The Battle Royale map expands again with four new areas to explore: Outpost, Dormitory, Radar Base, and Campground. Keep your eyes open in these new locations and around the map for the new armor plate item. Use the armor plate to repair damaged armor, helping you to stay in the fight for longer periods of time.

All weapons in Battle Royale support the new Gunsmith feature, as well. Lootable weapons now come pre-equipped with attachments, no more scavenging for the perfect scope. The higher tier (Rare, Epic, Legendary) the weapon, the more attachments it comes stocked with. Legendary and sometimes Epic blueprint weapons can include Gun Mods. Gun Mods provide a bonus or buff to the weapon in addition to its standard capabilities.

You can prepare your own weapons, too. Create up to five custom weapons in the Battle Royale menu and retrieve them during the match by calling in an airdrop.

▣ Coming Soon: Finest Hour Event and 10v10 Multiplayer

Help liberate Europe by selecting either the Eastern or Western front in the Finest Hour event. Build up your troop count every time you upgrade a weapon in the new Gunsmith system, and then use those troops to attack Axis occupied cities. Earn epic weapons and characters for successfully breaching these cities.

Prepare for massive engagements with the introduction of 10v10 Team Deathmatch and Domination. You thought Shipment was crazy before? Wait until you play it 10v10, also featured on Takeoff, Meltdown, and Crossfire.

And these are just the highlights. Get ready to load up the game and start fighting the Axis powers. We need every soldier we can get.

See you online.
