New multiplayer map ‘Collateral Strike’

The new COD Mobile map ‘Collateral Strike’ first came to Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, and has now come to Call of Duty Mobile. The mobile version of the Collateral Strike map is smaller than the original map; the map features a satellite crash site in a desert village.

New Ground War experience

Call of Duty Mobile Season 6 Synthwave Showdown adds a new Ground War experience. As per Call of Duty Mobile devs, “After landing a certain number of eliminations, Operators will be presented with three randomly chosen abilities”.

The abilities could be "increased explosive damage" or "increased ammo reloading speed". Choose one of the three and you will get its immediate benefit.  Call of Duty Mobile players can pick multiple abilities in the same match.

The Ground War abilities come in different rarities, from Common to Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic.
