Call of Duty Mobile Season 6 launches with Rust and Saloon maps
Western themed update also adds Capture the Flag, Kill Confirmed and 1v1 Duel mode
Activision has launched Call of Duty: Mobile Season 6, titled Once Upon a Time in Rust.
Over the course of the season, the western themed update will include two new maps and three fresh modes, plus various events and challenges.
The season’s first new map is Rust, which originally appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and was also added to 2019’s Modern Warfare this February. In Call of Duty: Mobile, Rust is now available in multiple modes including 2v2 Showdown, Rapid Fire and Hardpoint.
The second new map, Saloon, will launch in mid-May alongside a new 1v1 Duel mode, and will also be available for 2v2 Showdown. 1v1 Duel, which includes “three rounds of quick, dirty, and precise gameplay”, will be also be playable on the Killhouse map.
Early May will see the release of a Capture the Flag mode in which the traditional flag has been replaced with a chest of gold, as well as the arrival of dog tag collection mode Kill Confirmed.

The season’s release coincides with the launch of the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2020 tournament on April 30. Eligible players ranked veteran or higher in multiplayer can compete to win a share of over $1 million in prizes including exclusive esports cosmetics and cash.
Call of Duty: Mobile was installed over 150 million times across iOS and Android devices in the three months following its worldwide release on October 1, 2019, according to Activision.
The publisher recently said it plans to bring back an improved version of Call of Duty: Mobile Zombies, which launched as a limited time mode in November 2019 but was cut from the game this March after it failed to reach the company’s desired quality standards.
