CoD Mobile Season 12 patch notes: New Map, Night Mode, & Battle Pass

Nicholas Sakadelis

Call of Duty Mobile Season 12: Going Dark is coming tomorrow, November 11th.

The 12th season adds Modern Warfare’s Hackney Yard, a new Battle Pass, and the new “Knights Divided” event. In addition, it also adds in a Night Mode for 3 multiplayer maps – Hackney Yard, Crash & Summit.

Also dropping later into the season is the .50 GS pistol from Modern Warfare, a new perk, and a new Battle Royale class.

Here’s the intel via the Call of Duty blog:

Inspired by the tactical NVG Multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Going Dark will introduce Night Mode to its Multiplayer offerings.

In this variant, Operators have access to fully functional night vision goggles, which offer infrared imaging to help illuminate an Operator’s surroundings. Alternatively, a laser sight could also be used to cut through the darkness to a small degree, which could be helpful if you choose to leave those NVGs to navigate through light-heavy areas.

Night Mode is available for play on three maps: Crash, Summit, and a new addition to the most memorable locales in franchise history:

New Multiplayer Map: Hackney Yard (Night and Day)

A classic Multiplayer map from Modern Warfare, Hackney Yard is coming to mobile with both a night and daytime version.

A gritty, rubbish-filled industrial park on the wrong side of town, Hackney Yard is a small-sized map located next to the River Thames. With a rough three lane design in a compact package, this map gives way to a variety of competitive playstyles, from close-quarters combat inside the offices and warehouse to cross-map sniper duels on the rooftops.

In its nighttime iteration, Hackney Yard becomes a tactician’s playground, where the savviest players must draw on the best of their map knowledge to attack and surprise the enemy team. With the element of surprise in play, nighttime infiltrations will open new strategies with endless flanking opportunities, including a perilous journey through the containers in the middle of the map.

Did You See That?! Night Mode in Attack of the Undead

Along with a playlist for Team Deathmatch, Night Mode will also include a playlist featuring Attack of the Undead, returning from its short dirt nap after Halloween.

Under the cover of night, zombified players no longer cast a luminous glow, allowing them blend into their dark surroundings. Operators will be forced to work together, watching every corner for the next attack and using their NVGs to spot these shadowy figures.

Will you make it out alive or go gently into the night and join the undead ranks?

Earn More Rewards In The Going Dark Battle Pass

Season 12 adds 50 new tiers of free and premium content, including new characters, weapon blueprints, weapon charms, a new Operator Skill, a new functional weapon, and more. Here are some of the highlights:

Through the Gunsmith, this weapon can be equipped with 5.56 ammo, turning this compact personal defense weapon into a highly mobile mid-range attack machine.

Premium Pass Tiers

Leading the charge for Operators skins is the captain himself, Captain John Price. Get the Price – Cover of Night skin to look the part of a badass night ops elite soldier and round out your Operator roster with additional soldiers like Urban Tracker – By Night and Ghost – Jawbone.

The Premium Pass also includes several new blueprint weapons from the Black Gold series, as well as a blueprint for the new AGR 556 known as the Byakko. 

Look out for plenty of earnable rewards throughout Going Dark, including a new secondary and a set of gear that only the most elite Operators can earn through the competitive Knights Divided Event.

Earn a New Weapon, Perk, and Battle Royale Class Later This Season

Later this season, expect to see additional events and challenges to further bolster your Multiplayer and Battle Royale arsenal.

This includes the .50 GS large caliber pistol, which provides incredible power in a compact design, beckoning the most elite Operators to control its kick for accurate shots.

Towards the end of the season, a new seasonal challenge will give everyone the chance to earn the Launcher Plus perk, allowing Operators to add even more explosive firepower to their loadout with an additional piece of Launcher ammo. Around that time, a new Battle Royale class known as the Refitter will be available to unlock through a featured event to be announced later.

Call of Duty: Mobile is set to introduce its first-ever Legendary Operator skin within Season 12, to be introduced in the middle of a packed Black Friday and Cyber Monday season of deals.

Enter the Dark Side with Nikto

Later this season, the Dark Side Draw will include the first-ever Legendary Operator in Nikto – Dark Side, bathing this operator in black with a foreboding red trim.

This draw will also include several other items with the same nightmarish motif, including a Legendary blueprint of the .50 GS, an Epic blueprint of the XPR-50, and several Battle Royale items like a flashy motorbike and a high-tech Wingsuit.
