【August 15th Update】Brand-New Customized Gunsmith system, Multiplayer & Battle Royale
Greetings everyone,
It is late in the night for many folks but our update is finally here and with that comes Gunsmith, Shipment 1944, a new Ranked Series, and so much more. If you don't see the update available in your Google Play or Apple Store right now then don't worry, it is a rolling update that goes region by region so eventually, it will reach you. Just have patience and keep checking back.
As per usual, everything listed in the patch notes won't be available right on launch since some content will be rolling out later during the season, like 10v10 mode and the Battle Pass. Speaking of that Battle Pass full of war-torn relics, that is coming out tomorrow as a part of our Season 9: Conquest release! That will be landing at exactly 5 pm (PT).
We'll have plenty of posts about that on social media as we get closer to that release and a Season 9: Conquest release trailer. For now, check out all of the updates notes below, start trying out new features, and if you are a Ranked player participating in Stage 2B of the World Championship make sure to rank up as much as you can before that begins tomorrow. Here is the full look at most events currently running or coming soon in COD Mobile

▣ The Gunsmith system is here!
Players can choose from more than a hundred attachments to customize their weapons! Update your favorite weapon with new visual and functional upgrades for a completely unique experience.
• Each weapon has up to nine attachment slots and more than 50 attachments and gun perks available
• Earn attachments by upgrading your weapon level.
• Legendary and Epic weapons are now Blueprints. Blueprints are variants of the base weapons that come with various cosmetic differences as well as curated pre-equipped attachments. These attachments are pre-equipped on each specific blueprint without needing to level up the base weapon to unlock them.
• Rare and Uncommon weapons are now camo options that can be equipped on-base weapons
• Highest weapon level is shared across all unlocked weapons and Blueprints of that type. No more needing to level each and every weapon you receive!
• Show off your own personal style with charms, stickers, reticles, and grindable camos
• Save your newly designed weapon as a customized weapon to equip in your Loadouts
• Too complicated? Try the recommended blueprints. Players can see the changing stats while modifying weapons. Weapon stats reflect the actual performance of the weapon

♦ Current & Upcoming EventsFirst, we have two events going on right now worth highlighting: Cargo Combat and Master Smith.
Cargo Combat has you fighting your way through Shipment 1944 and just completing basic tasks like playing the map and killing enemies on it. For doing that you can earn some weapon customization items and the Cordite – Going Dark.
Master Smith as you might expect is all about Gunsmith. You are tasked with leveling up a variety of your weapon types and if you do you can grab the HG40 – Ammo Box, Special Ops 4 – Obstacle, or several other rewards.
Coming up later this month we have the Finest Hour event, a unique seasonal event that has you picking a side and battling your way across a map in order to attack cities and earn gear. Outside of that we have more seasonal challenges coming, 10v10 mode, and a few other unique events to Season 9.
♦ World Championship 2020In the midst of all of this we also have a brand-new Stage of the World Championship launching tomorrow! Stage 2B is here and with it plenty of rewards to earn, plenty of teams to battle, and plenty of opportunities to qualify to the next rank.
The basic information of Stage 2B is:
• Teams play in 30 ranked Multiplayer matches
• All players on each team must be in the same region
• Each team will earn points based on their team’s average rank
• The top 512 teams will be selected to advance to Stage 3
Stage 2B will be running from 8/16 - 8/24 UTC and like we shared previously it is all about teams. There are a few areas of the community with dedicated LFG channels, primarily on Discord, but we’ve seen plenty of people using our social posts or various other areas of social media to try to reach out, find team members, and get ready. It may be live now, but there is still time to group!
Best of luck to all of the teams in this one and get ready for Stage 3B to come in the near future. Just a reminder, but the dates for Stage 3B are:Latin America: 8/29 - 8/30
Japan: 8/29 - 8/30
Other Regions: 8/29 - 8/30
North America: 9/5 - 9/6
Western Europe: 9/5 - 9/6
Additionally, we’ve decided to spice up the rewards a bit! Now, when your team progress through the stage (like quarter finals, semi-finals, finals) each player on the team will receive CP rewards based on each phase of the stage. More details on that later on our World Championship website.
