CoD Mobile Season 1 Heist update patch notes: New maps, Weapons, Battle Pass

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022 now upon us as the handheld title kicks another year off with all-new content. From fresh weapons and maps to unique cosmetics, here’s everything you need to know about the latest major patch.

After a full year of monthly seasonal updates, CoD Mobile has gone back to the beginning with Season 1 as the new year gets underway.

As always, new content has landed with the usual mix of weapons, maps, cosmetics, and events all deployed to shake things up in the handheld game.

Before you dive into the new patch, here’s a full rundown on everything there is to know about CoD Mobile Season 1 2022.

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022: Release Date

CoD Mobile Season 1: Heist launched on Wednesday, January 19 at 4PM PT | 7PM ET.

This date marked five weeks since Season 11: Final Snow came into effect, making it slightly longer than the standard CoD Mobile update cycle.

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022: New Weapons

Two new weapons joined the mix in CoD Mobile Season 1. After early features in the Chinese test build, full patch notes confirmed exactly what to expect.

Up first is the Kilo 141 Assault Rifle from Modern Warfare 2019. Continuing the trend of new MW additions in CoD Mobile, this AR is a fast-firing gun with an optional burst-fire mode. Based on an early look in the test build, it could be a force on any map with a full set of attachments.

Next is the PPSh41 SMG pulled from Black Ops Cold War. This has been a common SMG throughout the CoD franchise having appeared in five different titles. 

There’s no telling how impactful these additions might be early on. But if their console and PC power is anything to go by, they could shake up the mobile meta in no time.

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022: New Maps

Two new maps have arrived in CoD Mobile Season 1. One is a unique redesign of a pre-existing map while the other is a new remake of a Black Ops 4 classic.

Hacienda has made its mobile debut in Season 1. This popular design featured in Black Ops 4 and was a prominent pick during that year’s competitive cycle.

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022: New Game Modes

Three unique playlists are set to arrive in CoD Mobile throughout Season 1. Up first is Heist, a Black Ops 4 mode returning with a twist. Players must track down more gold coins than their opponents to win. Though gold can also be used to purchase more powerful weapons and armor.

Payout Search and Destroy is also set to feature in CoD Mobile’s ranked playlist for a limited time. Meanwhile, Red Envelope Kill Confirmed rounds out the new playlists as a 10v10 variant “full of surprises.”

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022: Heist Battle Pass

No different from previous updates, CoD Mobile Season 1 comes with its own limited-time Battle Pass. With dozens of tiers to grind through, players have access to all forms of new content through this month’s collection.

Headlining the new Battle Pass is the Yuri – Bratok Epic Character skin. This comes complemented by skins for Makarov, Iskra, and Ajax alongside a number of fitting weapon blueprints to boot.

Moreover, the Season 1 Battle Pass provides everything from new Scorestreaks and Avatars to Emotes and Charms.

CoD Mobile Season 1 2022: Content Creator Bundles

Three popular content creators have their own skins in CoD Mobile available throughout Season 1. IFerg, BobbyPlays, and Hawksnest have all received their own cosmetic bundles in the handheld title.
