As we head towards the Lunar New Year, Call of Duty: Mobile is launching its Season 2 update. Lunar Charge is live now, and you can check out the trailer, as well as find out all of the details below.
There’s plenty of new content to get stuck into with the Season 2 update, so lets get stuck straight into it.
DMZ: Recon
There’s a new in-match event entitled ‘The Train’ taking place on Serpent Island, where you and the squad are tasked with clearing enemies and launching a missile at a moving train so that you can loot it. The only problem – Blowing up the train will alert every single player in the map, so you’ll need to get your skates on for this one.
Alongside this, there is also a new contract event named ‘Five Gods of Wealth’. Per the team at Activision “this in-game event challenges Operators to collect a new contract available on Serpent Island maps. Find the Five Gods of Wealth contract, activate it, and collect items from each marked location. Once all items are collected you and your squad can summon the Five Gods of Wealth in order to exchange the items for money.“
There’s also a new boss to get to grips with in building 21. He can be found near the elevators and will be surrounded by guards whilst throwing grenades from his War Machine. Players who beat him will be well rewarded.
Mythic weapon trials are also available here. Locate the parts, and following a successful extraction, players can exchange them for a three-day trial of a Mythic weapon.
Battle Royale LTM: Plunder
Plunder has made its way to Call of Duty: Mobile! Here’s the details per Activision:
Cash Up
Earn cash by searching supply crates far and wide, securing Airdrop Crates, completing Contracts, and eliminating enemy players who will drop a portion of their cash when taken out. In Plunder, all Operators respawn after death, leading to a more action-packed experience as the player count remains high throughout the match until a squad reaches the required cash amount to secure victory.
Hunt the Leaders
To help even the score, the highest-cash player on the top squad, along with the top two highest-cash players overall, will be marked on the map for all to see. In-game announcements will also broadcast when any squad reaches 50% and then 90% of the $1 million goal.
Deposit Your Earnings
Secure your earned cash by utilizing Cash Balloons and Deposit Helicopters. Cash Balloons can be purchased at Buy Stations and can hold $150k each, whereas Deposit Helicopters can be summoned at fixed locations around the map and have no cash limit. Note that a global alert notifies all players when a Deposit Helicopter is being called in.
Bonus Round
Once any squad’s total cash reserves exceed $1 million, the bonus round begins. A three minute timer will start counting down, and during that time, all earned cash is multiplied by x1.5. Squads who have already secured $1 million can continue collecting cash at this point to increase their total assets.
After the bonus round ends, each squad’s final deposited plus carried cash is totaled, declaring the richest squad the winner of the match.
Shipment
There have been some changes to Shipment in honour of the Lunar New Year,with a red and gold theme, festive decorations and other special content. This will be available until the 25th of February.
1v1 Duel
Earn trophies by going head-to-head in this returning multiplayer mode. It’s the best of three rounds, and you win by being the first to get seven eliminations.
Ranked Play
“Season 2 marks the beginning of a new season of Ranked Play! Get ready to climb the ranks as you compete against the best of the best, earning new rewards like the epic Death Angel Alice — Nighthawk Operator Skin and the Epic RAM-7 Mystical Weapon Blueprint.“
There’s also a ton of other seasonal events coming. Check out the Call of Duty: Mobile blog here for all of the details.
