Zombies Classic & Undead Siege return in CoD Mobile Season 9

Zombies fans have a reason to be excited, as CoD Mobile’s Season 9 for Halloween brings back both Undead Siege and the classic Zombies experience.

Undead Siege

In Undead Siege, players have to face a zombified version of the Battle Royale map Isolated working alongside their teammates to survive over a period of five days and five nights. Scavenge by day, fight off hordes by night, set up turrets for extra defense, and maintain the teleporter for a safe escape.

Zombies Classic

The Zombies Classic experience allows players to enjoy World at War’s Shi No Numa in a classic round-based mode. Battle increasingly dangerous waves of zombies with your squad. Earn points to unlock new routes, buy Perks, and strengthen your arsenal using the Mystery Box.

CoD Mobile Season 9 Haunted Standoff & Hacienda maps

Continuing with the Halloween season, multiplayer maps Standoff and Hacienda will receive the spooky treatment in CoD Mobile Season 9 as both will be transformed with Halloween-themed content like Jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, hanging bats, and more as well as a nighttime transition.

CoD Mobile Patrol multiplayer mode

Originally from CoD Vanguard, CoD Mobile Season 9’s Patrol multiplayer mode challenges players to capture and hold a single point called the Patrol zone that moves around the map. The objective stops when the zone becomes contested. Operators score points by standing in the Patrol Zone.

CoD Mobile Season 9 Halloween-themed event

Activision have also announced that CoD Mobile Season 9 will incorporate exciting Halloween-themed events allowing players the opportunity to earn exclusive rewards. These events include Fright Factory, Ghost Chasing Spectral Smackdown, and Team-Up Rank Shield.

Team-Up Rank Shield

This Ranked Play-based event will allow players to avoid losing Rank XP if they lose the match, although this protection isn’t unlimited.

CoD Mobile Season 9 multiplayer updates

CoD Mobile Season 9 will introduce new multiplayer updates for the Prop Hunt and Ranked Search & Rescue modes.

  • Prop Hunt Update: New maps and props will be added to the mode, including new rules and mechanics that alter the human and prop interaction.
  • Ranked Search & Rescue: The mode will be introduced into the pool of Ranked Multiplayer game modes. In this particular mode, when a player gets eliminated, they will leave behind a tag. If a teammate manages to pick up this dropped tag before the enemy does, the eliminated player will have a chance to respawn.

Similar to previous seasons, CoD Mobile Season 9 brings new seasonal challenges and featured events that will unlock additional rewards like Operator skins, weapon blueprints, Battle Pass XP, and more.

  • New Signature Attachment: Players will have to equip the Thunder Rounds Signature attachment for the HS0405 Shotgun, which will provide special ammunition that shatters after traveling a certain distance.
