Call of Duty Mobile Season 9 launches with Gunsmith and expanded battle royale map

Activision has launched Call of Duty Mobile Season 9: Conquest.

The headline feature of the new season is the Gunsmith weapon customisation system. First introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it enables players to create their own weapons in multiplayer and battle royale.

The battle royale map has also been expanded to include four new areas: Radar Base, Dormitory, Outpost, and Camp.

New multiplayer map Shipment 1944 is a close quarters battleground that originally featured in Call of Duty: WWII. It is a remake of the Shipment map which debuted in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Conquest will also introduce a 10v10 multiplayer mode during the season. Supported modes will include Team Death Match and Domination, playable on Shipment, Takeoff, Meltdown, and Crossfire.

Free Season 9 battle pass rewards include the Shield Turret Scorestreak and a new base Marksman Rifle, the Kilo Bolt-Action.
