MODERN WARFARE® WEAPON BLUEPRINTS EXPLAINED
“I like to keep this for close encounters.” – Gaz, Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare®
Throughout your time playing Modern Warfare – or even before you loaded into your first Multiplayer match – you may have come across a weapon blueprint.
These weapons can offer further cosmetic customization to your Operator’s loadout, along with a few other benefits through its attachments.
Here’s a quick breakdown of this important game mechanic in three easy questions:
What is a weapon blueprint?
A weapon blueprint is variant of a base weapon within Modern Warfare. Weapon blueprints have different names than their base counterparts – i.e. instead of the Model 680, a Model 680 blueprint can be called the 1337 Skeet. Blueprints also can have cosmetic differences, and may come pre-equipped with attachments.
These attachments are given to you on this specific blueprint without needing to level up the weapon to earn them. This way you can utilize specific cool attachments before you earn them by leveling up. You can still earn all weapon attachments organically and swap out – or add – attachments to weapon blueprints that are earned organically through leveling up that weapon.
In other words, weapon blueprints look cool and offer a few attachments you may not already have for that weapon, but can still earn in the long run.

WELCOME TO CALL OF DUTY®: MOBILE THE ZOMBIES EXPERIENCE – AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME
The Return of Shi No Numa
Deep within a sweltering jungle in Japan, the Rising Sun Facility houses a dark secret.
Run by Group 935 and Division 9, this collection of huts looks as if it was just another remote village in the middle of nowhere… Until a distinct growl from creatures of rotting flesh is heard.
It seems that this swamp is another location used for nefarious experiments, and you are right in the middle of a dangerous trap.
This is the swamp of death – Shi No Numa, adapted for Mobile.
Originally a downloadable map in the Zombies mode within Call of Duty®: World at War, Shi No Numa returns in Call of Duty: Mobile. For those who have yet to experience a game of zombies in the Call of Duty universe, here’s a quick primer:
· A session of zombies can be played alone or with up to three other players.
· You and your teammates will begin a game with only a pistol and a knife. These will be used to protect you against the hordes of undead creatures.
· After taking damage, your character will regenerate health if they do not take any more damage for five seconds.
· The roaming undead can appear through windows, which can be boarded up to hinder their progress. Standing near a window will board it up automatically.
· Boarding windows and killing zombies are the two primary ways of earning points. These points can be used to…

CALL OF DUTY®: MOBILE MAP SNAPSHOT: HIJACKED
Set sail for our latest Map Snapshot on Hijacked and get ready to dive into some strategic tips and tricks for your next game on this Call of Duty: Mobile Multiplayer map.
Slap on some sunscreen and get ready to hit the deck, because our latest Map Snapshot takes us out to the high seas on Hijacked.
Available as part of the Call of Duty: MobileMultiplayer experience, Hijacked makes for a frenetic and chaotically fun experience whether you want to dive into an objective based mode or Team Deathmatch.
Read on to see our tips that might help you make a splash in your next Multiplayer experience on Hijacked.
Lay of the Land
This luxurious super yacht had its maiden voyage as part of Call of Duty®: Black Ops 2’s Multiplayer map pool, but also shored up in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 3through a reimagined Multiplayer map called Skyjacked, as well as Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4in its original form for the game’s Blackout mode.
For the ultra-rich leisure lover, this ship is nothing short of a spectacular sight from the helipad on the bow (front) to the pool at the stern (back), which are roughly where both initial spawns are in team game modes.
The middle of the ship has a cabana at starboard (right), a jacuzzi and a catwalk at port(left), and at the dead center, a few showers that would be used after a dip in the briny sea.
This middle section is bookended by the stateroom towards the ship’s stern, as well as a dining area, galley, and on-ship office towards the bow. Both multistory areas also have a chute that leads to a passageway down below the ship’s deck through a massive engine room.

MODE RECON: GUN GAME
Play Gun Game, free.
As Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ramps up, expect more free modes, maps, and content to join the fray. For now, practice your aim, polish your weapons, and jump into a match: Gun Game is here!
One of the most exciting modes returning to Call of Duty, Gun Game is a longtime fan-fave. Read on to learn how this frantic, Free-For-All mode is a perfect setting for the aspiring weapons expert in all of us.
In Gun Game, players are tested on their gunfighting proficiency. So, all players start the match with an identical handgun, random attachments, and zeroequipment, perks or Field Upgrades.
That’s right: no Frags, Smoke, Proximity Mines, or Dead Silence here. Your kills depend on your ability to point and shoot with accuracy.
To progress to another weapon from your starting pistol, you must get a kill with it. Eliminate an enemy to immediately receive the next weapon with another set of random attachments. Keep getting kills to cycle through the weapons until you reach your final loadout, that’s a little unique.
The only exception to the “zero equipment” rule appears as part of your very last loadout: a Combat Knife and two Throwing Knives.
And we agree. There are three distinct ways to take home the W in Gun Game:
1. Upgrade all the way to the Combat Knife and execute a Finishing Move.If you’re not already familiar with Finishing Moves, these are accomplished by pressing and holding the melee button. You will execute a devastating kill that’s totally unique to your Operator.
2. Land a kill with the Throwing Knife. This is where your precision is truly tested. Gun Game matches can really pick up speed, especially toward the end, as everyone strives to get that final loadout. It’s no easy feat hitting a moving target with a Throwing Knife, but that’s why this frenetic game mode makes for great target practice.
3. Earn the highest score before time’s up. If no one manages to land a Finishing Move or Throwing Knife kill before the time limit, the player with the highest score takes the win. So, don’t fret if you haven’t reached the last loadout. With perseverance, you could still land at the top of the leaderboard.
Fun with the Gunsmith.
Gun Game is one of the best game modes for familiarizing yourself with Modern Warfare’sunique and powerful arsenal of weaponry.
Each gun in the game comes with distinct attachments. These could be perks, under barrel attachments, optics, muzzle attachments, ammo improvements, and so on. A weapon could sport a combination of all attachments, or a mix of just a few.
No matter which weapon you get your hands on, you’ll be able to get up-close and personal with some fine examples of Modern Warfare’s deep weapon tuning.
XP for days!
Players should expect to cycle through a unique roster of powerful weapons and attachments, including weapons not yet unlocked through gameplay. So, Gun Game has an added benefit: adding to that weapon XP stash.
Any time you kill an enemy, your gun earns XP for later use – even upper-echelon firearms that you haven’t unlocked in Multiplayer.
For instance, earn XP with the AK-47 in Gun Game, and your AK-47 slot will save that XP, even if you haven’t unlocked it yet. Then, when you finally earn the AK-47, voila: you got yourself a head start on leveling up that weapon.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SEASON 1 BATTLE PASS IN MODERN WARFARE
Season 1 brings the first-ever Battle Pass for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare, which delivers over 150 new items for players to earn. As part of the Battle Pass system, you have a select number of items you can earn for free (including two new base weapons, multiple weapon blueprints, COD Points (CP), and other items) simply by playing the game. Or, for ultimate customization, you can elect to purchase the Battle Pass to get access to unlock up to 100 tiers. Read on for more details.
How the Battle Pass System Works
If you’ve checked out the previous video, you should have an initial idea of how the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 1 Battle Pass system works. To reiterate:
The Battle Pass has 100 tiers of content for you to progress through and earn once you’ve purchased it.
To advance through these tiers, you simply play the game, earn XP, and complete challenges.
All three actions (playing the game, earning XP, and completing challenges) contribute to your overall Battle Pass XP, and get you closer to the content you’re chasing.
Note: Though there are 100 Officer Ranks and 100 Battle Pass tiers of content, these two aspects of the game are separate from each other.
Through the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Battle Pass, everyone can unlock and enjoy tiers of free content, and all functional content that has an impact on game balance, including base weapons and attachments, can be unlocked simply by playing the game.
Play the game. Level Up. Earn Rewards.
· Free Tiers (of the Battle Pass system): Everyone can earn over 20 free tiers of content, including two new weapons – the RAM 7 and Holger-26 – just by playing.
· Battle Pass: Players looking for the ultimate customization can purchase the Battle Pass for 1,000 COD Points and get access to unlock up to 100 tiers of content, plus scores of Rare, Epic and Legendary Weapon Blueprints, Operator skins, exclusive challenges and more, and immediately unlocking an all-new Operative Mara.
· Battle Pass Bundle: Purchase to the Battle Pass Bundle and get access to everything you get with the Battle Pass, plus 20 Tier skips which grant instant access to cool, new customizations.
· Tier Skips: Buy individual Tier skips for 150 COD Points.
You can purchase at any time without missing any content. If you choose to purchase the Battle Pass after already ranking up a few tiers, no problem: You’ll immediately be awarded everything from the Tiers you have already unlocked through gameplay.

MODERN WARFARE® TACTICAL MAP INTEL: CRASH
To those veterans who remember the classic map from within the Call of Duty universe: welcome home.
Crash, one of the staple Multiplayer maps of Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare, has returned as part of Season 1 for Modern Warfare. The latest version is set within Urzikstan and is the focal point for Season 1’s backstory.
This is your complete guide to Crash.
Lay of the Land
Crash has the unique distinction of not being a remaster; rather, it is a reimagining of the classic Multiplayer map. That applies not only to some of the new areas you’ll find here, but also its story.
Here’s why you’re fighting here:
Somewhere in an Urzikstan town, the Allegiance have shot down an Al-Qatala cargo chopper carrying chemical weapons. Seeing this blast, members of the Coalition were first to the scene and discovered these deadly weapons.
However, once the Allegiance arrive for their investigation, a conflict over who owns the gas discovered in the downed helicopter ensues.
Crash is this conflict zone; within the confines of this map, you’ll see containers of this gas strewn around the crash site. Familiar buildings may have more detail than you may have once remembered, and sections that were previously sectioned off by boundaries now offer new and exciting ways to engage against enemy forces.
Map Detail
Crash is a medium sized map with a variety of engagement opportunities. Whether it’s long sightlines that lead to sniping battles or intrabuilding close-quarters conflicts, the action here is sure to be fast, frenetic, and fun.
Here are all the map’s zones:
1. Apartment
2. Curved Street
3. Hill
4. Alley
5. Sandbags
6. Courtyard
7. Lamp Shop
8. Pillars
9. Arches
10. Crash
11. Restaurant
12. Generators
13. Pharmacy
14. Broken Wall
15. Passage
16. Overlook
17. Barbershop
18. Electronics
19. Garage
