The Halloween-themed ninth season of Call of Duty: Mobile is all set to follow the power-packed 2nd anniversary month. Season 8 saw the arrival of a plethora of rewards and lucky draws that were purchasable with COD Points. In addition to that, players who don’t want to spend money can grind to get various epic items.

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9 Nightmare’s launch is not as big as the second-anniversary update, but fans can expect many exciting additions. After installing the latest update, users will get access to the brand new Battle Pass, seasonal events, featured challenges, weapons, game modes, and more. 

Here are the complete details about the upcoming Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9 Nightmare.

Release date

The new season of Call of Duty: Mobile will commence on October 21 at 5 PM (PT) or October 22 at 12 AM(UTC). The update for the same can arrive on the applications in advance of the launch time like Activision did with previous updates. 

New Maps

Halloween Standoff (Multiplayer)

The new addition to the lineup of MP maps in Call of Duty: Mobile will be an alternate version of the fan-favorite Standoff. Halloween Standoff will feature the same buildings and structures as the original one, but the matches will be fought at night instead of the daylight. The new iteration of Standoff will also constitute plenty of Jack-O’-Lanterns to suit the night setting.

Developers will remove the Halloween Standoff after the culmination of Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9. 

Havoc Sawmill (Multiplayer)

The ninth season update will bring Havoc Sawmill, an MP map of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), to the famous mobile FPS shooter. The new multiplayer map will be located in the deserted village of Kastovia and will feature wide-open grounds around the flaming sawmill, favorable for snipers. 

New Weapons and Skills

Swordfish

Introduced in Call of Duty Black Ops 4, Swordfish is a semi-automatic four-round burst AR class weapon that will arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9. Swordfish will be a part of Nightmare Battle Pass at tier 21 for free. 

Thumper 

Thumper is a Launcher class weapon from the Call of Duty franchise that is arriving in-game with the ninth season. It will arrive through new in-game challenges in Season 9. 

Flash Drone

Arriving through upcoming events, Flash Drone will be new tactical equipment that will block the enemy’s vision. 

Tak-5 – Operator Skill

New Multiplayer Operator Skill allows players to regenerate full HP with an additional 50 health boost immediately for the whole squad. Tak-5 will be available at tier 14 of the new BP for free. 

Pumped Battle Royale class

Pumped BR Class will be introduced as a grindable reward in the new season through events. The new BR class will provide players with a jetpack to navigate across the map.. 

New Game Modes

Drop Zone (Multiplayer)

The new multiplayer mode will allow two teams to battle it out for a moving area or zone. Holding such areas will help the players gain scorestreaks and use the care packages dropped in that zone. The strength of a team residing in a drop zone, i.e., the more players will earn extra points.

Undead Siege 

Developers removed the Undead Siege mode during Call of Duty: Mobile Season 8 and promised its return. It looks like they have kept the promise as the popular mode makes its return to the game with a Halloween theme. Users will play the returning game mode in the BR Isolated map. 

Other Season 9 exclusive Halloween Modes 

• 10v10 Pumpkin Confirmed (Multiplayer)
• BR Isolated (Night)
• BR Blackout with zombies

New Themed Event: Trick or Treat! 

Season 9, titled Nightmare, will bring a new themed event that will allow players to claim exclusive rewards. Players will get the opportunity to test their luck by getting tricked or treated.

A treat will earn the players a candy without any fuss, while they will have to complete in-game tasks to get candy if they get tricked. The candy will further award the XP in the event. 

Activision will reveal additional details about the new themed event later.

Clan Wars Update

The ninth season will not affect the Clan Wars ongoing season, but developers will reset the currency to zero. In addition to that, the store items of the current Clan War season will also start to rotate out. 

However, the items will be made easy-to-obtain to compensate for the changes, and upcoming seasons will have higher Clan Wars currency rewards.
