Call of Duty Mobile Credit Store: Aurora Borealis, S36 Hearts, and Gravity Spikes
Call of Duty Mobile’s credit store refresh added the stylish RUS-79U Aurora Borealis, S36 Hearts LMG, and permanent Gravity Spikes.
Back in 2026, I still log into Call of Duty Mobile almost every day. The meta shifts, new seasons drop, and the credit store keeps tempting me with shiny toys. But every now and then, I flash back to one particular credit store refresh that changed how I played. It added the RUS-79U Aurora Borealis, the S36 Hearts LMG, and brought back the Gravity Spikes operator skill as a permanent unlock. Was it the best shop update ever? Maybe not. Was it the update that finally made me stop ignoring LMGs? Absolutely.

The RUS-79U Aurora Borealis: Beauty with a Bite
I still remember scrolling through the credit store and doing a double-take. There it was: the RUS-79U Aurora Borealis, its skin shimmering like a frozen night sky. In a game full of flashy cosmetics, this one felt different. It was not just loud; it was elegant. I grabbed it immediately. The RUS-79U was already a familiar friend for aggressive players, and the Aurora Borealis skin made every kill feel like a victory lap. Did I need it? No. Did I buy it anyway? Obviously. 😅
S36 Hearts LMG: The Accuracy Monster
Not long after the BK57 Hearts assault rifle hit the store, the S36 Hearts LMG arrived. I had always treated LMGs as support weapons, the kind you place slightly off to the side and use to fire a big barrage of bullets toward the enemy spawn. But the S36 Hearts made me rethink that role. Its biggest strengths are accuracy and fire rate. If you are looking for better aim and quick hits, this gun delivers. Mobility is an underrated stat for LMGs, and while the S36 Hearts is not a speed demon, you can normally make up for movement with pure power. Here is how I would compare the two Hearts weapons:
| Weapon | Type | Key Strengths | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| S36 Hearts | LMG | Accuracy, fire rate | Locking down lanes, suppressive fire |
| BK57 Hearts | Assault Rifle | Balanced mobility, versatility | Mid-range duels, objective pushes |
I spent a whole weekend with the S36 Hearts, and by the end I understood why LMG mains love their role. You do not always need to rush. Sometimes you just need to hold the line, unleash a wall of lead, and watch the enemy team hesitate. Is that not satisfying? It absolutely is. 💥
Gravity Spikes: From Limited-Time Treat to Permanent Menace
Then came the Gravity Spikes operator skill. I had used it during its limited-time event, and I was sad when it disappeared. So when it returned as a permanent unlock in the credit store, I celebrated. This skill lets you attack foes with a shockwave by slamming the spikes into the ground. It is a solid AOE ability, perfect for shutting down enemies within your proximity. If you are in a critical spot, or low on ammo, Gravity Spikes can save your life. Let us face it: there are times when you get into a mini-panic and want to do something quick that could be damaging. Well, here you go. One slam, one shockwave, and the area is clear. Or at least, your enemies are. 😈

I have clutched more objective holds with Gravity Spikes than I can count. On Hardpoint, when three enemies push at once, the spikes turn a losing fight into a highlight reel. On Search and Destroy, the threat of a shockwave changes how enemies approach a bomb site. It is not just a damage tool; it is a psychological weapon. Who would have thought that slamming the ground could be so strategic?
Why This Credit Store Update Stuck With Me
In 2026, Call of Duty Mobile has more weapons, operators, and events than ever. The credit store has evolved, and new items rotate in constantly. But that particular update felt special because it offered something for every kind of player:
-
🎨 A stylish new skin for RUS-79U fans
-
🔫 A powerful LMG for players who love accuracy and fire rate
-
⚡ A permanent operator skill for chaos lovers
-
💰 Credit store items that did not require lucky draws
I also appreciated that the update did not force me into one playstyle. I could flex between an aggressive RUS-79U loadout, a defensive S36 Hearts setup, and a Gravity Spikes class for those moments when everything goes wrong. That flexibility is why I kept coming back.
Would I recommend chasing these items today? If you are a collector, yes. If you are a meta chaser, maybe not. But if you want to understand a fun slice of Call of Duty Mobile history, the Aurora Borealis, S36 Hearts, and Gravity Spikes are worth remembering. The game is free to play on mobile, so there is no barrier to jumping in and seeing what the credit store has for you right now. Just do not blame me if you spend all your credits in one night. I certainly did. 🎮
