COD Mobile Season 3 - Release date, maps, guns, grenade, skills and more

Similarly to previous seasonal updates, Call of Duty: Mobile Season 3 is expected to boast a rich menu of content, including new weapons, balance changes, blueprints, quality of life improvements, and more.

While developer Activision has yet to release the season's official patch notes, the COD Mobile Season 3 Chinese Test Build Server provides insight into what we can expect ahead of it going live.

Accordingly, COD Mobile Season 3 is expected to introduce a new Satellite map and 12v12 Ground War limited-time game mode, new lethal equipment and a new Operator skill. Additionally, we could see up to three new weapons, including the MAC-10 submachine gun (SMG), Koshka Sniper Rifle and Kali Sticks Melee.

Here's everything we know about COD Mobile Season 3 so far.

COD Mobile Season 3 - Release Date

Activision has not provided an official release date for COD Mobile Season 3. However, Season 2 Task Force 141 was released on 23rd February and, similarly to previous seasons, is expected to end roughly one month later, sometime between 24th March and 1st April.

COD Mobile Season 3 - New Satellite Map

The new season will introduce a canyon or desert-themed map called Satellite, from Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. This map will feature in the new Ground War game mode, described in the following section.

COD Mobile Season 3 - Ground War Game Mode

Ground War is a new 12v12 game mode that resembles a classic CTF game mode. It involves players capturing six locations called Megapoints.

Teams will need to get 300 points to win; however, once a team reaches 150 points, a new reference "double points location" will appear in the middle of the map, allowing the losing team a chance to recover and bounce back into the game.

The new map "Satellite", along with the "Ground War 12v12" mode, will appear in the next beta testing.

Once all Megapoints have been captured, an "ultimate airstrike" (or atomic nuke) is activated. Then, the rival team must try to capture one of the Megapoints to cancel the attack while the defending team must hold their position until the 25s countdown ends. Players can use motorcycles, assault vehicles, and tanks on the map.

COD Mobile Season 3 - All New Weapons

Three new weapons are featured on the Chinese Test Server, including the MAC-10 SMG from Black Ops Cold War, the Koshka Sniper Rifle from Black Ops 4 and the Kali Sticks Melee from Modern Warfare 2019.

Note: Each new COD Mobile season typically releases one new weapon into the game; therefore, although there are three weapons listed here, they might not all arrive in-game in Season 3.

MAC-10 - Weapon Stats

The in-game description reads, "An SMG with an extremely fast fire rate. Its simple yet reliable structure allows it to possess incomparable mobility, thereby granting it an advantage in close quarters combat."

We do not have stats for the MAC-10 at this time.

Koshka - Weapon Stats

• Damage: 80
• Accuracy: 59
• Range: 92
• Fire Rate: 34
• Mobility: 42
• Control: 40

Kali Sticks - Weapon Stats

• Damage: 200
• Accuracy: 70
• Range: 10
• Fire Rate: 8
• Mobility: 90
• Control: 70

COD Mobile Season 3 - New Lethal Equipment

In addition to the new guns, there is also a piece of new lethal equipment called the Gammon Grenade, arriving from Call of Duty: Vanguard. The grenade doesn't appear to be anything special, apart from detonating immediately upon impact on any surface or unsuspecting players.

COD Mobile Season 3 -  Operator Skill

COD Mobile players will also benefit from a new Operator skill called Reactor Core, which seems to cause damage over time to enemies, albeit not without inflicting self-damage.

The in-game description reads, "Continuously emits radiation, burning enemies and reducing their maximum health for a period of time. After a period of continuous use, the player will also deal damage to themselves."

And that's it for now! We'll be sure to keep you updated regarding any further leaks as they become known.
