Call of Duty: Mobile Season 8 update: Battle Royale 2.0
One of the biggest changes in the Season 8 update of Call of Duty: Mobile can be seen in the game’s Battle Royale mode. The mode sees the addition of a new map for the first time since launch. The new map is called Blackout and it's the original map of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Aside from the new map, Activision has also overhauled the health system in Battle Royale mode. Instead of looting health items, players will not regenerate health overtime. Now, players will find armour scattered across the map which provides additional heath points. The developers note that armour will be available in three varieties. This includes Armor Repair, Advanced Armor Repair and Kinetic Armor Overcharger. Each providing more armour than the last.
The developers also note that players will experience new and improved visuals in Battle Royale mode as well as a new weapon looting system.

They will then have to upgrade these weapons with attachments of different rarity levels.
Activision also added a new single-player experience in Call of Duty: Mobile. Players will take the role of a captured soldier who has been rescued by Captain Price. The single player mode will help expand the already impressive in-game lore of the game.
Finally, the Season 8 update of Call of Duty: Mobile will also see some revamps of core Battle Royale classes. The developers also note that vehicle handling and UI have been improved.
