COD Mobile Season 3 "Vintage Vigilance": What's New, Buff, Nerfs, and Upcoming Playlists

Season 3 was released on 13th March 2024 in COD Mobile with a Vintage Vigilance theme. It comes with a new Battle Pass, Lobby Screen, Cheshire Park Map, TEC-9 SMG, and Weapon Adjustments. So, here is the guide which tells you the new items in Season 3, Upcoming Lucky Draws and Lucky Boxes, as well as Upcoming Playlists.

What's New in COD Mobile Season 3 - Vintage Vigilance:

1. Cheshire Park Map:

The Cheshire Park Map was also available in the Multiplayer mode of Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Now, it comes to COD Mobile which is a medium-sized map, offering a luxurious feel on the courtyard at the centre. The courtyard contains a golden statue which adds a better look to the map. Cheshire Park offers a Green, Red, Blue, and Golden color combination that is eye-catching for most COD Mobile players.

2. TEC-9 SMG:

TEC-9 is a new SMG which is suited for close to medium-range combat. It features a sleek and minimal design, which feels lightweight in the gameplay. It offers better accuracy, mobility, and control than some other SMGs. Here is the breakdown of the TEC-9 values:

1. Damage: 31.

2. Fire Rate: 28.

3. Accuracy: 116.

4. Mobility: 108.

5. Range: 50.

6. Control: 98.

The Fire Rate of TEC-9 is lower than other SMGs. You can unlock TEC-9 via Battle Pass by reaching to the Tier 21. If you purchase a Battle Pass, then you will get TEC-9 - The Classic at Tier 50.

3. Havoc Operator Skill:

The Havoc Operator Skill is finally added in COD Mobile Season 3 for Multiplayer matches. This operator skill will disrupt enemies' mini-map information, which allows you to play aggressively. Also, it creates an electric wave to destroy enemy deployable projectiles, which makes it great for Hardpoint matches.

It's available at Tier 14 for Free in the Season 3 Battle Pass.

4. Patrol Mode (Rank - Limited Time):

The Patrol Mode will be available in Rank Match during Season 3, so you'll get a chance to play real players (No Bots). In Patrol Mode, you or your teammate need to keep the body in a Hardpoint capturing location to increase the points of winning threshold, i.e. 125. The fact is that the Hardpoint location is round and moves on a desired route on the map. This aspect makes the Patrol Mode interesting, and I am excited to play it in Rank Match.

5. Alcatraz and Shipment is Removed:

The fan's favorite maps, i.e. Alcatraz and Shipment are removed by Activision which is a big bad news for players. However, developers said that it's not a permanent removal of these maps, so you can expect, it will come later this year.

The reason for removing the Alcatraz and the Shipment map ahead of the launch of Warzone Mobile is not clear. But, I think that Activision wants to divert the COD Mobile players (especially, those who play Alcatraz and Shipment matches) to new Warzone Mobile. This is because the Warzone Mobile offers Alcatraz and Shipment Maps also.

If you are excited to enjoy these maps on your phone, then you can play them on Call of Duty Warzone Mobile.
