Plunder Mode Debuts in Battle Royale
The fan-favorite Plunder mode finally arrives in COD Mobile as a trio-based Battle Royale experience. Teams drop into Isolated with one objective: accumulate $1 million first. Earn cash by looting supply crates, securing airdrops, completing contracts, and eliminating enemies who drop portions of their cash.
Unlike traditional BR, Plunder features unlimited respawns, creating intense, action-packed matches where player counts remain high until one squad reaches the cash target. This mode emphasizes aggressive gameplay and constant engagement throughout the match.
DMZ: Recon Expansion
Season 2 brings substantial updates to DMZ: Recon including the new Train Event on Serpent Island, where squads clear enemy-marked sites to activate computers and launch missiles at moving trains for high-tier loot. The Five Gods of Wealth event celebrates Lunar New Year with themed contracts based on Chinese folklore deities.
Secret Caches now appear as rare lootable items across Serpent Island and Building 21. Successfully extracting with them grants additional caches beyond daily rewards. The new Cache Streak system rewards players for consistent openings with Epic weapons and operators.
Mythic Weapon Trials introduce Mythic Weapon Parts as lootable items. Extract these parts to exchange for three-day trials of select Mythic weapons, letting players test premium blueprints before purchasing.
Multiplayer & Battle Pass Highlights
The Lunar-themed Shipment variant features red-and-gold decorations, festive lighting, falling snow, and firecrackers throughout the iconic map. The 1v1 Duel returns with best-of-three matchups where first to seven eliminations wins each round, with trophy-based milestone rewards.
The Season 2 Battle Pass offers the versatile Lachman-556 assault rifle bridging SMG and AR capabilities for close-to-mid range combat. Premium tiers include operator skins for Park, Stitch, and Isabella, plus weapon blueprints and vault coins.
