Call of Duty: Mobile Weekly Update: Massive DMZ: Recon Fixes & Weapon Balance Restored
The Call of Duty: Mobile team has just released a significant community update following a week of intense investigation. If you have been experiencing glitches in the new DMZ: Recon mode or felt something was “off” with your favorite weapons, this update addresses exactly those concerns.
From fixing game-breaking map bugs to smoothing out camera animations, here is a breakdown of everything that has been fixed in the latest patch, along with a look at what the developers are working on next.
DMZ: Recon: Critical Stability Fixes
The launch of DMZ: Recon brought excitement but also some frustrating bugs. The developers have prioritized these issues, and the current patch solves the most critical ones:
No More Falling Through the Map: A major issue where players would spawn under the map and immediately fail extraction has been fixed.
Invisible Walls & Stuck Spots: Several locations where players would get stuck or blocked by invisible barriers have been patched.
Tutorial & Progression: Fixed issues where tutorial start points were incorrect and Black Market missions were impossible to complete.
Economy Fixes: “Abnormal item prices” and duplicate ranked rewards have been corrected.
If you were hesitant to play DMZ: Recon due to bugs, now is the perfect time to jump back in via GameLoop.
Weapon Balance & Combat Adjustments
Perhaps the most important news for competitive players is the restoration of weapon balance. The developers noticed unintended changes and have restored the correct balance values for the following weapons:
Krig 6
Striker 45 & Striker
Outlaw
AK-47
Animation & Camera Polish
This update also brings a significant quality-of-life improvement to gameplay feel, specifically regarding camera shake and animations—which is especially noticeable when playing on a larger PC screen:
Reduced Camera Shake: Excessive shake when sliding (with SO-14 and others) or sprinting has been toned down.
USS 9 Fixes: The “Radiant Shift” skin no longer suffers from overly slow ADS speed, and incorrect arm positioning when throwing tacticals has been fixed.
Sniper Recoil: Abnormal recoil on the Locus and DL Q33 has been corrected.
Upcoming Fixes (Known Issues)
The team is transparent about issues that are still under investigation. In the coming days/weeks, look out for fixes regarding:
Audio Glitches: Specifically the bug where some players have sound in the lobby but no sound inside matches.
Battle Royale Wingsuit: A fix is coming for the manual activation failure.
DMZ Visuals: Missing weapon skin materials and transformation issues in DMZ are being worked on.
Conclusion & Important Note for Emulator Users
This mid-season update brings much-needed stability to the DMZ mode and restores the weapon meta. However, GameLoop users should be aware of a potential delay.
While the update is live on mobile devices, the emulator version often takes a bit longer to roll out officially. We strongly recommend waiting for the automatic update prompt within the GameLoop client rather than forcing an installation via third-party APKs, which can cause keymapping issues.
