Free Battle Pass Tiers

New Scorestreak – Reactor Core

The Reactor Core deals fire/radiation damage to enemy players close to you. In the process, it will be ignoring cover and walls. The player using Reactor Core will also gain a defensive buff, reducing damage taken. However, using the reactor core for too long will begin to damage the user, quickly killing them.

Enemies that are damaged by the effect of the Reactor Core will have their maximum health reduced. This will be the amount of damage taken by the Reactor Core and are unable to heal to their normal total health. The health-reducing effect wears off after 15 seconds of not being affected by it, after which the afflicted can regain their normal total health.

New Weapons in COD Mobile Season 3 2022

MAC-10

The MAC-10 is a submachine gun that appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Nintendo DS), Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and is now coming to COD Mobile.

Along with all other weapons in the game, the MAC-10 has no recoil and idle sway when aiming down the sights. The MAC-10 holds 40 rounds in multiplayer and 30 rounds in single-player, and has an extremely high rate of fire but lacks in stopping power, taking several shots to take down a single enemy, though it is compensated for by the viciously high rate of fire.

The MAC-10 has a 40-round magazine but fewer backup magazines. It is very useful on all maps, due to its high rate of fire and excellent accuracy when aiming down the sights.

COD Mobile Season 3 2022: New Ranked Season

The new Series starts from April 2022 and will end in the month of June 2022. Here are the rewards that players will get throughout the new ranked series.

Multiplayer updates in COD Mobile Season 3 2022

New Maps – Miami

The perfect map to match Season 3’s retro theme, Miami Strike was first introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War as a variation of the larger Miami map. In Miami Strike, the field is more tightly focused to encourage plentiful close-quarters engagements in and around the hotels and parking garage. With cover options everywhere, you can easily switch between offense and defense in a snap, so long as you’re aware of the enemy’s position.

Even with a large number of possible vantage points, Miami also offers several covers to players brave enough to wander through the main street. With destroyed cars, half-walls, and other structures, players are able to weave through and cross over to the other side of the map.

Training Ground 2.0

Season 3 adds new functionality to your time at the Practice Range, including more customized training content and weapon data. You can utilize the new Command Panel to customize parameters of the training ground, as well as support target practice by spawning training AI soldiers and customizing their distance, movement speed, interactions, and direction.

You can also keep an eye on their performance with the Player Data Panel, which tracks hit rate, damage dealt, destruction time, and more. There’s also a new Weapon Trial feature that allows you to exchange weapons and attachments directly through the UI. With the ever-growing armory, this makes it easier and faster to swap between your guns. 

New Seasonal and Featured events in COD Mobile Season 3 2022

Season 3 offers a fresh set of Season Challenges, too. Complete the tasks to earn rewards like new Weapon Blueprints, Operator Skins, and up to 30,000 Battle Pass XP to move swiftly through the tiers.

Expect some unique high-quality rewards through specific challenges, like the Battle Royale Heat challenge coming mid-April that rewards the Epic Swordfish — Mechanical God. This is also the way to get your hands on that new AK-47 attachment through the Popular Arms Only challenge launching early April 2022.

New Themed Event: A Soldier’s Choice

Crime lord Raul Menendez is back in town and living a high life. In this event, Operators must stay on Menendez’s good side by successfully conversing with him and completing tasks. Acquire tokens for doing so, which can be exchanged for rewards, earning major items like the Epic Fennec — Pure Fury and the villain himself with the Menendez – Safari Fashion Operator Skin.

Easter Battle Royale Event

In Battle Royale, hunt down destructible Easter Eggs that can be blasted for rewards. Visit the holiday vending machine to exchange your goods and purchase the resurrection beacon from the rabbit NPC to bring a teammate back into the fight. Acquire Battery – Fresh and several BR-specific camos by completing the I Am The Egg Man featured event tied to this.

In Multiplayer, Easter Prop Hunt returns along with the Eggs in a Basket featured event accompanying it. Turn into eggs and other Easter props and outwit the competition to earn new camos like the Arctic .50 – Fresh, MW11 – Fresh, and the Smoke Grenade – Groove Lens.

Trap Master event

The Trap Master’s Electric Trip Wire ability is seeing a rework in Season 3. Instead of the triggering range being displayed as a straight line, it will now display as a sphere. Enemies entering the sphere will first be slowed, and, after being inside the sphere for a period of time, will trigger the explosion, though savvy players can disassemble the trap to prevent triggering it at all.

Store Updates: Snoop Dogg and Scylla, a New Mythic Weapon, and more

The ultimate closer, Snoop Dogg, makes a special appearance in Season 3, complete with his own Operator Skin and Weapon Blueprint. Dressed to the nines and ready to compete, he wields his trusted SMG RUS-79U — Equalizer, featuring a titanium and carbon frame with diamond inlays and its own Death Effect that transforms players under a magnificent beam of light.

Next, we have Scylla — Light Runner, a Brazilian soldier straight out of an ’80s arcade who’s been around weapons her whole life. After saving the Brazilian president, she was awarded a Mythic AK-47, an experimental weapon made of synthetic diamond that converts physical ammunition into photonic energy. Get both later in April.

Other Store items include Spectre — Leveled Up with their Legendary HVK-30 Weapon Blueprint, Portnova — Fitness Instructor and her custom Legendary AK117, Artery — Jammer with a Legendary take on the MAC-10, and the brand-new Operator Kui Ji with a very deadly Rytec AMR.

Balance Adjustments and Optimizations in Season 3 2022 of Call of Duty Mobile

Weapon Balance Changes

Multiplayer

• SP-R 208
  • SP-R 208 is a marksman rifle that has a great field of vision and can destroy the enemy with a single shot even from afar. In some close to medium combat scenarios, it appears to be too fault-tolerant. Therefore, we shifted part of the one-shot damage from the abdomen to the hand area. This change requires a higher accuracy for players to take out enemies with one on-hand shot.
  • Abdominal Damage Multiplier.
  • Decreased Hand Damage Multiplier: Increased
• HVK-30
  • HVK-30 is an assault rifle that lacks mobility. We have improved its range damage frame and long-range TTK to retain the positioning of medium to long range rifles. HVK-30’s long-range attenuation of large-caliber ammos is also adjusted to improve mobility.
  • Base: Range Damage Frame: AdjustedChest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: IncreasedLarge-Caliber Ammos:

  • Base: Range Damage Frame: AdjustedChest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: IncreasedLarge-Caliber Ammos:
  • Range: AdjustedDamage: Adjusted
• M4
  • With excellent stability, M4 has been a popular assault rifle that helps new players adapt into the game. However, the actual Time to Kill of M4 performs at an unsatisfactory level for players transitioning into more intense competitive matches. Therefore, we have increased the areas where the M4 deals a high multiplier of damage, and slightly improved its mobility and stability.
  • Hand Damage Multiplier: Increased
  • Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
  • Empty Reload Time: Decreased
  • ADS Time: Decreased
  • Bullet Spread: Decreased
• Peacekeeper MK2
  • Peacekeeper MK2 is an assault rifle that requires high mechanics. However, the controls of Peacekeeper MK2 appear to be too difficult, making it hard for players to utilize it. Therefore, previously, we adjusted its recoil and lowered its handling difficulties but it still wasn’t competitive enough. With the additional adjustments in this release, devs hope Peacekeeper MK2 can truly reach its maximum potential.

• FR .556
  • FR .556’s strong vertical recoil and diminishing damage multiplier to the leg area provide uncertain results when players are calculating damage dealt on eliminating enemies. Therefore, we decreased its vertical recoil and increased its damage multiplier on the leg area to stabilize its performance.
  • Vertical Recoil: Adjusted
  • Leg Damage Multiplier: Increased

• ICR-1
  • ICR-1 is an assault rifle with high mobility and stability designed for beginners. However, it has not been as popular of a choice as we anticipated. Therefore, we have strengthened its overall range dominance to allow stable performance within the range advantage of the rifle. We have also appropriately increased the damage multiplier on certain areas to make up for the shortcomings of TTK.
  • Base Damage: Increased
  • Shooting Range: Adjusted
  • Head Damage Multiplier: Increased

• JAK-12
  • Stacking of Disable Perk: Reduced
  • Explosive Mag Slowing Effect: Reduced

• Kilo 141
  • In the last patch, the Kilo 141 was a powerful weapon that excelled both as a medium and long range weapon with no downsides in terms of mobility. To balance this, devs have adjusted the stats of some of the attachments accordingly.
    • Extended Mag: Movement Speed: Decreased
    • Reload Time: Increased
    • Large Extended Mag: Movement Speed: Decreased
    • Reload Time: Increased
