Call of Duty: Mobile's seasonal updates tend to take players on a journey through time and the world, and the latest adventure, Season 4, is no different. Call of Duty: Mobile Season 4 launches in May with a substantial in-game update, replacing the popular mobile shooter with new playlists, modes, seasonal challenges, and events. Here, we break down everything you need to know about Call of Duty: Mobile Season 4, from the cost to play to what to expect from its run-and-gun gameplay.
When does Call of Duty: Mobile season 4 start?
The latest updates for Call of Duty: Mobile, officially titled Season 4: Spurned & Burned, will be released on May 26 for Android and iOS devices at 5pm PT (May 27, 1am BST / 10am AEST).🤠 Time to hang up the swords and break out those hats and boots! 🆕 The new season is coming up and it will be loaded with new weapons, operators and more!

In that sense, the slate is clean for the new season, which sees players immersed in a game world inspired by the Old West.
What's included in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 4?
Season 4: Spurned & Burned brings a host of new maps, playlists, weapons, and events, but perhaps the most exciting are its two new game modes. The first is Capture the Gold, which, as the title suggests, sees players tasked with snatching gold from their opponents and bringing it back to their base, while also protecting their own loot. It's a variant of Capture the Flag, basically, with the twist that players KOed by a Gold Carrier drop power-ups to use to gain an advantage over the enemy. Capture the Gold will be playable in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 4 at launch on May 26, and should work until it's replaced with the next new mode in Season 4.

In 1v1 duel, Operators are deployed against a lone enemy: the first to seven kills wins the round, and players must win three rounds to achieve victory. The 1v1 duel is scheduled for "later in Season 4," which we're assuming is the day after Capture the Gold ends, which is scheduled for early June. As mentioned, Season 4: Spurned & Burned also brings a host of new maps and weapons to Call of Duty: Mobile. Dome is making a return to the franchise, having debuted in Modern Warfare 3, while weapons and scores including the MK2 rifle, Holger 26 LMG, and Hawk X3 drone will be available to unlock and use.🎯💥 Rapid fire + precise aim = total domination! 🆕 The new weapon, MK2, joins the Marksman family of loadouts and will be released as part of the Season 4 Battle Pass on #CODMobile! 👍 Launching later this week! pic.twitter.com/qS8dxQ8e42 May 24, 2021 More Information Dome, a small map, takes the fight to a military radar station deep in the desert. You'll see operators crash through shipping containers, abandoned offices, and a central radar tower, providing plenty of opportunities to outflank and outmaneuver your opponents. Activision is also optimizing some features of Prop Hunt, as well as adding Tunisian and coastal maps to the popular gameplay.

This means strengthening melee submachine guns, upgrading assault rifles at mid-range, balancing the accuracy and damage effectiveness of light machine guns, optimizing attachments and other features for sniper and marksman rifles, elite, and more. Along with the Weapon Balancing Pass, the developer is rolling out a large-scale update to Gunsmith's weapon resources with the introduction of Gunsmith 2.0, but we don't know yet how it will play out in the game. As usual, season 4 also throws a new enemy Operator into the fray, though we don't know who yet, replacing the Japanese-inspired Hidora Kai from the previous season. (Image credit: Activision)
