COD Mobile Season 3 2026: Rush Update Brings HDR Sniper, New Map, and Easter Events

Call of Duty: Mobile is leaving the heavy metal fury of Season 2 behind and jumping headfirst into a high‑octane, neon‑drenched celebration. The Season 3 update – appropriately named \u201cRush\u201d – hits devices on March 30, 2026, and turns the arena into a chaotic paintball tournament while weaving Easter festivities into every mode. At its core, the update delivers a never‑before‑seen multiplayer map, the devastating HDR sniper rifle, a remote‑controlled Wheelson scorestreak, and a pass packed with both free and premium goodies.

New Rush Map and Multiplayer Features

The centrepiece of the season is the original map \u201cRush,\u201d a medium‑sized playground built for fast‑paced competitive skirmishes. The layout blends an indoor arena with an outer field, a gift shop, and a sprawling parking lot – all littered with inflatable barriers and ramps that reward vertical movement. Flanking routes snake between obstacles, giving squads multiple ways to outmanoeuvre rivals. The map deliberately channels the energy of speedball competitions, making every match feel like a tournament final.

Beyond the new battleground, two long‑requested quality‑of‑life features land with Season 3. The Single Player Map Training mode lets players load any ranked map alone, fine‑tune weapon configurations with full Gunsmith support, add enemy bots of adjustable difficulty, and even toggle infinite ammo or invisibility. It\u2019s the perfect sandbox for mastering sightlines and grenade spots. Meanwhile, the Safe House upgrades the player profile into a personalised bunker where you can display your favourite Operator, Weapon, and Vehicle Skins alongside recent achievements – a social hub for flexing your collection.

Easter Egg Hunt and Battle Royale Surprises

With Easter Sunday falling on April 5 in 2026, Activision leans heavily into the holiday. Battle Royale matches now hide destructible Easter Eggs that spill loot when shattered. Eliminated foes drop special tokens that can be traded with Easter‑themed NPCs for exclusive rewards. A new Self‑Redeploy item also enters the loot pool; when activated, it calls in a revive flight that returns fallen teammates to the fray – a game‑changer for clutch moments.

A limited‑time Egg Hunter event threads through multiple modes. In Prop Hunt, participants earn Egg Hunter Tokens based on performance, while Ranked Play grants additional tokens for victories and flashy plays. These tokens are spent in the Egg Hunter Market, where the Epic Chopper – Dark Matter Weapon Blueprint headlines a roster of colourful cosmetics. Another fresh event, Chromatic Control, rewards players with special coloured bullets for completing in‑game actions. The team that captures control points using this ammo racks up the highest score, and participation unlocks the JAK‑12 – Waves of Harmony shotgun, the Carver Butcher – Spaced Out operator skin, and the Surveyor Master Calling Card.

Battle Pass: Free and Premium Tiers

The \u201cRush\u201d Battle Pass goes live on March 31, 2026, offering 50 tiers of content. Even on the free track, players can grab the Wheelson scorestreak at Tier 14 – a remote‑controlled drone equipped with an automatic grenade launcher that can clear objectives in seconds. Tier 21 unlocks the HDR bolt‑action sniper rifle, a high‑damage powerhouse capable of one‑shot eliminations across vast distances. The pass also sprinkles an assortment of camos, the Cordite – Swirly Weapon Blueprint at Tier 50, and a trickle of COD Points.

Purchasing the Premium Pass opens the floodgates. Operators join the party with skins like Rivas – Neon, Darkwave, Domino – Tech Spectrum, and Stitch – Disciple. Weapon Blueprints turn every firefight into a light show: the KRM‑262 – Smiling Faces, KN‑44 – Candy Bracelet, Razorback – Treble in the Club, and the season\u2019s flagship HDR – Iridescent Lines all glow with neon accents.

A Battle Pass Subscription (Ground Forces) sweetens the deal further. For a monthly fee, subscribers gain a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, several 10x crate pull discounts, and exclusive monthly rewards. Season 3\u2019s Ground Forces drop includes the Zane – Miasma Operator Skin, the BK57 – Music For Life Weapon Blueprint, and the Backpack 3 – DJ\u2019s Bass cosmetic.

Seasonal Challenges and Signature Attachment

Seasonal Challenges return with a fresh roster of objectives. Completing them nets Battle Pass XP, Operator Skins, Weapon Blueprints, and the new CR56 – GRD‑11 signature attachment for the CR‑56 AMAX. This attachment alters handling and damage profiles, opening new loadout possibilities. Daily Missions and Monthly Login incentives also rotate throughout the season, giving casual players a steady trickle of rewards.

Store Update: Mythic Draws and Battle Pass Vault

The in‑game store receives a major refresh. Three new Mythic Weapon Draws headline the rotation:

• Nikto – Gothic Bass: Nikto dons a sleek purple‑and‑black armour set and wields the Legendary CR‑56 AMAX – Twisted Visions.

• Klepto: This kleptomaniac operator arrives with the Legendary HDR – Persuasion, a high‑density ceramic rifle with a water‑cooling system that glows with each shot.

• Cipher – Tokyo Cruiser: Following the New Vision City attack, Cipher resurfaces with the Legendary UL736 – Electric Light, ready for the next chapter of warfare.

Meanwhile, the Battle Pass Vault reopens, granting access to the Hunt Battle Pass from a past season. Operators like Mace – Tombstone, Makarov – Splinter, Outrider – Amazonas, and Mara – Valkyrie can be earned, alongside Weapon Blueprints such as the LK24 – Backwoods, XPR‑50 – Arachnophobia, RPD – Carnivorous, and GKS – Scion.

Release Date and Final Notes

COD Mobile Season 3 2026 begins on March 30, with the Battle Pass following on March 31. The update weighs in at several gigabytes, so players are advised to connect over Wi‑Fi before downloading. Whether you\u2019re grinding for the HDR, exploring the confetti‑filled lanes of Rush, or chasing egg tokens in Battle Royale, Season 3 promises a refreshing shake‑up that pairs competitive integrity with a joyous, party‑centric atmosphere. As always, keep an eye on the in‑game Events tab for the full schedule of limited‑time modes and bonus XP weekends.
