CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: Release Date

CoD Mobile Season 5: Tropical Vision went live on Wednesday, June 1 at 5PM PT.

As usual, this coincided with the end of the Season 4 Battle Pass. Once the update went live, the previous season’s offerings disappeared as the new wave of content took center stage.

CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: New Apocalypse Map

While it’s always a guessing game in the leadup to a new season, we knew a few weeks out that one new map was confirmed for CoD Mobile Season 5.

Black Ops Cold War’s Apocalypse was first teased on May 16, with the usual cryptic post on social media.

“What secrets hide in the jungle?” devs asked alongside a picture of the competitive map that coincidentally arrived in Cold War’s fifth season.

Apocalypse features in all the standard game types now that it’s live in CoD Mobile Season 5,

CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: Guns Blazing Encore

New in CoD Mobile Season 5 is a revamped Guns Blazing game mode. In this unique playlist, you can power up to become a super-soldier with devastating power.

Upon filling up your Fury gauge by earning kills and playing well, you transform into a super-soldier equipped with Death Machines in either hand along with a health boost.

The first player to earn 30 points will be crowned the winner in Guns Blazing Encore.

CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: New Weapons

Having launched on May 10, the new test build arrived with three brand new guns not yet available in CoD Mobile. The Oden Assault Rifle, KSP45 SMG, and LCAR9 Pistol all feature in the limited testing period.

While these three weapons all appeared, just one is making its presence known in CoD Mobile Season 5: The Oden AR.

With more Modern Warfare 2019 guns featuring in CoD Mobile than almost any other title, the Oden certainly helps round out the list.

CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: Perk Changes

One key Perk change appeared to be all but finalized in the latest CoD Mobile test build as Persistence was adjusted.

Rather than scorestreak costs being doubled, streaks are now divided into three tiers.

Players using the Perk can choose three streaks across low, middle, and high ranks with set costs for each. 

CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: New Tactical Grenade

Also featured in the latest CoD Mobile test build before being locked in for Season 5 was a new piece of Tactical Equipment, the Echo Grenade. This new tool can be thrown out to “detect enemy locations,” as the official description reads.

In essence, opposing players tagged by the grenade will be highlighted for a short period. Regardless of where they are, or how many walls may stand in between, you’ll still be able to spot them for a brief moment thanks to this grenade.

CoD Mobile Season 5 Tropical Vision: Battle Pass

For the first time in CoD Mobile, the latest Battle Pass is headlined by a female cast of characters. As always, these characters come fit with new skins, weapons, and equipment found in the Battle Pass.

Balance Adjustment

Multiplayer & Battle Royale

AR/SMG/LMG Bullet Spread Adjustment

In the current versions of the battle rhythm, we have made a unified evaluation and adjustment to the distribution value of AR/SMG/LMG firearms. Overall, the average distribution of each gun system has been lowered:

• ADS bullet spread: Significantly reduced (>20%)

Swordfish, M16, Pharo, LK24, FR .556, ICR-1, AK-47, HVK-30, Man-O-War, HBRa3

• ADS bullet spread: Reduced (10%~20%)

M4, M4LMG, DR-H, UL736

• ADS bullet spread: Slightly reduced (less than 10%)

Kilo 141, KN-44, M13, ASM10, AK117, BK57, CR-56 AMAX, RPD, AS VAL, Type 25, Holger 26, GKS, Chopper, Hades, QQ9, QXR

• ADS bullet spread: Significantly increased

In the previous version, ADS bullet spread was too accurate, even more than some marksman rifles. We have increased the spread to balance.

RUS-79U

• All the above changes are applicable to Battle Royale. In Battle Royale, the ADS bullet spread of all firearms is 60% of that in Multiplayer mode.

AR/SMG/SG/SR Movement Speed Adjustment

• We have sorted out the mobility of weapons between different types and within the same type, so that the mobility of firearms is more in line with its positioning.
• Movement speed: Slightly increased

DR-H, HVK-30, CR-56 AMAX, HBRa3, AK117, M13, KRM-262, R9-0

• ADS Movement speed: Slightly increased

M21 EBR, SVD

• Movement speed bonus of attachments: Reduced
• PPSh-41 Fast Reload +8% → +5%
• QQ9 Tactical Barrel +5% → +4%
• No Stock +5% → +4%
• ADS Movement speed bonus of attachments: Reduced
• MAC-10 Combat Stock & Steel Stock +20% → +16%
• Fennec Light Stock +15% → +12%
• Light Mag +5% → +4%
• MX9 Agile Stock +40% → +37%

RPD

• Overall enhanced mid-range positioning firearms to suit rhythm.
• Range: Increased
• Damage Multiplier to the Head: Increased
• RPD new attachment: Cooling Compressor Barrel
• When equipped, the fire mode switches to the overheating mechanism. Controlling the heat can achieve stable and continuous firepower output.
• Range: Increased
• Vertical Recoil: Reduced
• Hit Flinch: Reduced
• Movement Speed: Reduced
• ADS Bullet Spread: Increased

MAC-10

The current use of Mac-10 is very high. Mac-10 can deal relatively stable damage even at a slightly longer distance. Therefore, we appropriately adjusted the damage of the second range to reduce its advantage in mid-range.

• Damage: Reduced

Assault Rifle Reload Speed Adjustment

ASM10

• Slightly increased the reload speed, and optimized the reload action.
• Tactical Reload speed: Increased
• Empty Reload speed: Increased

Man-O-War

• Slightly increased the reload speed.
• Tactical Reload speed: Increased

• Reload Speed of Double Stack Mag: Increased

M4LMG

• Range: Increased

UL736

• Range: Increased

Hades

• Range: Increased

New attribute for attachment Crossbar

• Hipfire Bullet Spread: Reduced

AK117

As one of the first high-rate rifles to be launched, the AK117 is favored by many fighters, but its relatively uncontrollable recoil and weakness at medium distances make it slightly inferior to other high-rate rifles. Therefore, we have slightly increased its range and damage at the second range, and increased the damage multiplier to the upper chest and arms to ensure that it can eliminate the enemy with 4 shots on the upper chest and arms within the second range. So that its combat capability at medium distances can keep up with the mainstream level of the current version.

• Range: Increased
• Damage: Increased
• Damage Multiplier to the Chest and Lower Arms: Increased

At the same time, we have updated the resources for its reloading action, and made corresponding fine-tuning of the reloading time according to the performance of the action.

• Reload Speed: Reduced

LK24

In the initial design of LK24, we wanted it to be an assault rifle that can be used for mid-to-long-range camping. However, since the current version of the bullet spread is uniformly adjusted, the characteristics of the LK24 are not prominent enough. Therefore, we want to re-adjust it to match its positioning.

We have adjusted the bullet spread algorithm so that the first few bullets have higher accuracy under the condition that the maximum spread remains unchanged during continuous firing; and the bullet spread in the moving state is increased.

• Range: Increased
• Damage: Increased
• Damage Multiplier to the Hands: Increased

GKS

As a medium-rate submachine gun, GKS has been struggling to adapt to the current meta. In order to bring it back to the battlefield, we hope to give a spotlight to its ADS ballistic advantages by slightly increasing its basic movement speed, canceling the penalty of bullet spread in the moving state, and strengthening its flexible Sprint-to-Fire characteristics. We have also adjusted the damage algorithm so that GKS can eliminate the enemy with three shots in the upper body at close range. We hope this will help regain its advantage in the battlefield.

• Range: Adjusted
• Damage: Adjusted
• Damage Multiplier to the Head, Upper Chest and Arms: Increased

Renetti

Renetti’s three bursts have higher requirements for accuracy, however, the range of 6m-15m is too short in comparison to all secondary weapons. Therefore, we have increased the range to help it adapt into the current meta.

• Range: Increased

Multiplayer

Perk: Persistence

The initial intention of Persistence’s design is to allow more players to experience the fun of the unique scorestreaks of the COD series. However, due to the overpowering mechanism, the technical threshold for players to obtain advanced scorestreaks is too low. This affected the overall combat experience. Therefore, we are looking to make the following adjustments:

• Persistence is changed to blue perk and will be incompatible with Hardline.
• The speed at which players can obtain scorestreaks is reduced.
• When equipped with Persistence, all scorestreaks are divided into 3 segments in accordance to the score; players can only choose one from each segment to equip.
• In order to control the impact of scorestreaks on the battle while ensuring players’ experience of scorestreaks, players will no longer be able to choose 3 advanced scorestreaks when Persistence is equipped.
