Call of Duty Mobile's latest update, Once Upon a Time in Rust, is now live. The update offers tons of new content including some fan-favorite maps. The new season also brings a brand new Battle Pass, more weapons, and additional modes, all for free. However, you can purchase the premium Battle Pass if you want to unlock some cool exclusive items.
As the name suggests, fan-favorite map Rust is introducing itself to Call of Duty Mobile. The map will be playable with several game modes like TDM, Hardpoint, and FFA. Saloon map will also come in the future, however it will only be playable in 2v2 Showdown and 1v1 Duel.
Several new modes will be available in Call of Duty Mobile for a limited time. These includes Capture the Flag: Gold Edition. Instead of a flag, you will have to defend a big pile of gold in order to win. Other modes like 1v1 Duel and Kill Confirmed will be available as time goes by. The Firing Range map is also getting a prop hunt treatment. The latest season will bring a piece of new equipment called the Cryo Bomb which can freeze enemies that are in the blast radius. Complete patch notes are mentioned below and on the official Reddit post.
