Call of Duty: Mobile Season 7 – Phantom Current launched on July 30, 2025 at 5 PM PT, delivering one of the most exciting content updates in the game’s history. With the introduction of the Gulag in Battle Royale, an entirely new RC-XD Car Racing mode, a Mythic Dark Shepherd Operator, and a collaboration with Girls’ Frontline, the season offers both new gameplay experiences and a wealth of cosmetic rewards.

Gulag Comes to Battle Royale

For the first time in Call of Duty: Mobile, the Gulag has arrived in Battle Royale. Available exclusively on the Isolated map, the Gulag gives eliminated players a second chance at survival. After their first elimination, players are sent into a tense 1v1 deathmatch where the winner redeploys back into the game. Defeated players must spectate until a teammate buys back their dog tag at a Buy Station. Each player receives one free Gulag attempt, while extra chances can be purchased using Gulag Tickets at Buy Stations. This addition raises the stakes of every Battle Royale match, rewarding skill and determination.

Mini Mayhem: RC-XD Car Racing Mode

Another major highlight this season is the Mini Mayhem multiplayer mode, which transforms the battlefield into a high-speed racecourse. Players control RC-XD cars in multi-lap competitions on several maps, with up to eight racers competing at once. Crashing into death zones causes cars to explode, sending players back to the nearest checkpoint. Winning races earns leaderboard rankings and unlocks exclusive RC-XD vehicle skins. This fast-paced mode offers a refreshing break from traditional combat while keeping competition fierce.

Skill Overdrive Wildcard

Season 7 also debuts the Skill Overdrive Wildcard, allowing players to equip an additional Operator Skill in Multiplayer. This significantly increases combat versatility but must be used wisely to avoid upsetting the balance of matches. Proper timing and strategic deployment are essential to making the most of this powerful addition.

Meanwhile, the new Secret Caches system allows progression toward the RUS-79U – Mystical Lamp Legendary SMG, with milestone rewards for players who engage consistently throughout the season.
