Here’s everything we know about CoD Mobile 2022 Season 1 – the next major release, from new weapons and maps to unique cosmetics.
With the first patch of 2022, Call of Duty Mobile is about to enter a new era. With the COD Mobile Season 1: Heist update in 2022, it’s time for a new beginning after 12 seasons spanning 2021. Season 12 will not be the name of the following season, according to Activision.
Season 1: Heist will be the title instead. According to the developers, this name change will take effect in 2022 for all seasons and Ranked Series. So, without further ado, let’s go through the highlights of this significant Christmas update.
CoD Mobile 2022 Season 1 Release Date
On Wednesday, January 19 at 4 p.m. PT | 7 p.m. ET, Season 1 of Call of Duty Mobile: Heist will premiere. Season 11: Final Snow has been active for five weeks, slightly longer than the normal CoD Mobile update cycle. As soon as the patch is available, players in all regions will be able to log in and access the new content.
CoD Mobile 2022 Season 1 New Weapons
Two new weapons have been added to CoD Mobile Season 1. Based on early features in the Chinese test build, the full patch notes have disclosed exactly what to expect. First up is the Kilo 141 Assault Rifle from Modern Warfare 2019. This AR is a fast-firing rifle with a configurable burst-fire mode, carrying on the CoD Mobile legacy of new MW weaponry.
According to an early look at the test build, it could be a force on any battlefield with a complete variety of attachments. The next weapon is the PPSh41 SMG, which looks to have been taken from Black Ops Cold War. This is a popular SMG in the Call of Duty series, appearing in five different games.
CoD Mobile 2022 Season 1 New Maps
Two new maps have been added to Season 1 of Call of Duty Mobile. One is a unique remake of an old map, while the other is a new remake of a Black Ops 4 classic. Hacienda makes its mobile debut in Season 1. This popular design first appeared in Black Ops 4 and was a popular pick throughout that year’s competitive season. The future update will provide a redesign in addition to the new map. Season 1 introduces Nuketown Temple, a new variant to mark the Lunar New Year.
CoD Mobile 2022 Season 1 Heist Battle Pass
Similar to previous releases, CoD Mobile Season 1 features its own limited-time Battle Pass. This month’s collection, which includes hundreds of tiers to grind through, gives players access to a lot of fresh content. The new Battle Pass’s highlight is the new Yuri – Bratok Epic Character skin. Skins for Makarov, Iskra, and Ajax, as well as a number of weapon blueprints, are provided. New Scorestreaks, Avatars, Emotes, and Charms are also included with the Season 1 Battle Pass.
