Call of Duty Mobile Update: Halloween Event Brings Ton of New Features

Call of Duty Mobile has been a huge success. The game received 100 million downloads within the first week of its release and is showing no signs of slowing down. Other Battle Royale games like PUBG Mobile are taking note and introducing new features like the sliding mechanics in their updates.

However, a Call of Duty Mobile update for Halloween is live and brings a ton of new changes to the already smooth gameplay. The size of the update is 83.14 MB (version #: 1.0.8.5).

The new COD Halloween update includes new skills, new customizable items, new scorestreak, etc. However, the new update does not bring the much-anticipated controller support to the game.

According to reports, Activision is currently testing PS4/Xbox One controller for Call of Duty Mobile but there is no official word on the release date.

Call of Duty Updates

Call of Duty mobile was launched with several bugs but over time the game has been fixed and is running quite smoothly. During its release, the Call of Duty mobile was touted as having controller support for PS4 and Xbox controller.

An image of the game’s settings menu was leaked online showcasing this feature. However, after the game’s launch, no such feature was available. The developers are currently working to add controller support to the game, but fans shouldn’t hold their breath as there’s no official word regarding the release date yet.

Since its launch, two new additional game modes have been added to the Call of Duty mobile – Free-for-all and Gun mode.
