COD Mobile Season 8 (2023) Patch Notes
Multiplayer
The brand-new and original map Kurohana Metropolis is now coming. It is a place full of dreams and fantasy, so do you dare to become a star of the future? Here we welcome every warrior with dreams!
Coastal
Adjusted the Middle Road and the zone A area.
- Middle road: It was difficult to block enemies with a smoke grenade in the middle road before, so the aisle from the middle road to Defender's base as well as to the Storage room was narrowed down to make it easier to block with a smoke grenade.
- Zone A area: The defense from the Zone A area has not always been easy; to resolve it, the connectivity between the Storage room and Main Street was adjusted; it used to be a one-way channel from Main Street to the Storage room, but now it was adjusted to a two-way channel.
Terminal
- Optimized the issue that the respawn location is chaotic in Hardpoint.
Map Optimization
- Optimized the light reflections and performance in Shipment and Tunisia and optimized the performance of certain weapons in these two maps.
Time-limited Mode:
- Add Control mode to the ranked match as a time-limited mode in the mid-to-late part of the season.
Throwables
- Cluster Grenade: a sticky grenade that explodes in a series of smaller blasts.
