New Diesel map arriving in CoD Mobile Season 2

Taking from Black Ops Cold War once again, the multiplayer map Diesel is making its way over to CoD Mobile in Season 2.

This medium-sized battleground arrived in BOCW Season 3 in 2021, and served as a new arena for fast-paced matches. Designed with 6v6 combat in mind, as well as Gunfight contests, this desert-themed locale was a popular pick from its debut onward.

Goliath Clash game mode launches in CoD Mobile Season 2

Also launching as part of Season 2 is a new Goliath Clash playlist. In this unique game type, players are all in control of Goliaths from the jump. Teams battle in these powerful suits of armor in a Domination-style mode.

By capturing objectives as you would in the standard mode, players earn batteries to upgrade their Goliath’s abilities.

New Maddox Assault Rifle lands in CoD Mobile Season 2

As always, with a new season in CoD Mobile comes a new weapon as this time around, the Maddox Assault Rifle is in focus. First appearing in Black Ops 4, this gun is making the transition over in Season 2 as a well-rounded AR pick.

Boasting a “reliable fire rate,” and a “special Echo Fire attachment that can maximize damage,” it’s sure to be a strong contender in the weeks to come.
