Call of Duty leaving behind the honor, glory, and beautiful aesthetic that is Season 3: Tokyo Escape and traveling back to the west with Season 4: Spurned & Burned arrives and brings Call of Duty: Mobile back to that rough, rugged, and untamed frontier.
Last week COD Mobile launched its new in-game update and our 80s Action Heroes event with Guns Blazing Mode, Rambo, and John McClane. That event is still ongoing, but with the Season 4 release, the developers have a new map, Battle Pass, events, Ranked Series, and much more releasing throughout the season.
As you’ll see on the roadmap below there is also plenty of content releasing later in the season and in the middle of that, they have this huge feature that you may have heard of called Clan Wars.
Stay tuned with us via Telegram
Ensure your enemies are always welcome to the party with this limited-time bundle, which includes not only John McClane but also a new Finishing Move, items for your player profile, and three Weapon Blueprints, one of which feature as our Weapon Blueprint of the week (see “Gunsmith Weapon Blueprint of the Week” below).
Top Tip — Five More Tips for Power Grab
The ’80s Action Hero event isn’t just a celebration of two iconic heroes; it’s also about you and the whole squad becoming true elite Operators in Call of Duty, including in Warzone’s limited-time Power Grab mode.
They broke down the basics of this mode and provided five initial tips earlier this week. Here are five more tips catered more toward those looking to break from the extras and star as the victorious squad in this high-stakes Battle Royale:
1. Doing Contact Work on the Side
There are additional ways to collect Dog Tags, which are used to earn in-game rewards in Power Grab, outside of kills.
Supply Boxes have a small chance of dropping them, while Contracts can offer them as rewards, especially at higher Contract Reward levels. Even if it is just picking up Bounties as you travel across Verdansk, Contracts could seriously help tip you into higher reward tiers, which ultimately can help you win engagements.
2. Don’t Take the Bait
If a Dog Tag is sitting out in the open, it may seem obvious to run out and grab it. Don’t. Or at least, don’t go until you ensure the coast is clear. Remember to check corners indoors for CQB combatants, check rooftops and windows for snipers, and check your Tac Map for oncoming enemy vehicle traffic.
3. Aggressive Rotation Strategies Encouraged
Because there are only five fast-moving Circle Collapses in a Power Grab game, knowing when and how to rotate from area to area may be crucial to your squad’s success.
When deciding to rotate around the map, first identify where the next collapse will be and your current position. Calculate the threats nearby, such as cars parked where they shouldn’t be, and execute the strategy with solid coordination throughout the squad.
Rotating is covered more in-depth within the Circle Collapse section of the Warzone guide: click here to learn more.
4. Change Your Cash Strategy
Through the Power Grab reward tree, you’ll be able to earn UAVs, Killstreaks, Gas Masks, and Armor Satchels; this may affect what you go for at a Buy Station.
Other than getting Loadout Drops, it may be wise to divert your spending on UAVs and other Killstreaks and save an extra $1,000 for a Self-Revive Kit or, if your team is low on Redeploy Tokens, the ability to revive a squad member.
5. Save for the Final Circle
No matter what you stock up on at the Buy Station or what you collect throughout Verdansk, there is one action-movie trope that you should never fall into entering the last showdown when you’re out of ammo.
In addition to keeping track of your ammo reserves, consider valuable one-time-use rewards, such as the Advanced UAV or even a Precision Airstrike, until there are only a few teams remaining. That way, when it comes time to get the win, your squad will be armed to the teeth and ready to ride off into the sunset.
