Call of Duty: Mobile Season 1 new map, weapons, operator skills revealed, goes live on January 26

Call of Duty: Mobile is getting refreshed with Season 1 set to release on January 26. With less than a day to go for the much-awaited update, the developers have now revealed some key additions that will be coming with the Season 1 refresh, including new weapons, modes and an original multiplayer map. Activision has already revealed that the COD: Mobile Season 13 will be followed by Season 1: New Order.

According to multiple posts by the official COD: Mobile social handles, the upcoming season refresh brings a new map which is called Reclaim. Previously, the developers have stated that this is a new and original map to the COD universe and will see players fight through the remains of a shopping district that has been left abandoned likely after a hazardous event. The developers have also revealed that FR .556 (FAMAS) assault rifle and SKS Marksman rifle will be added to the arsenal with the new update.

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 1: Reclaim multiplayer map

The devs have revealed a new multiplayer map that will be added with the Season 1 New Order, and it is called Reclaim. “An outdoor mall once bustling with holiday activity is now vacant and abandoned, surrounded by blockades and biohazard tents,” the devs say on the setting of the new map.

Essentially, Reclaim is a medium-sized map featuring an abandoned mall and a walkway with shops in the centre. The new map has several access points along the ground and the upper floor but there are no large open areas that snipers can keep an eye on for a long time.

“Reclaim discourages sticking to one location for any prolonged period of time. Any point on the map can be quickly accessed from multiple angles, so once you’ve made your presence known, it’s likely time to move on to the next spot,” the devs say.

The ground floor offers a lot of cover due to the presence of shops and players can take advantage of planning a surprise attack. As for the upper floor, it provides a vantage point to players and has small pathways which means it will be the hot-bed of most close-quarter combats with players ambushing the other team.

Call of Duty: Mobile is also slated to get two new weapons with the season refresh. The Season 1: New Order is adding the FR .556 assault rifle, more commonly known as FAMAS to the game along with the SKS marksman rifle. The FR .556 is recommended for long-range and medium-to-long-range as it provides punchy burst fire while SKS is said to dominate long-range fights and has a high rate of fire than usual sniper rifles.
