COD Mobile Season 9 Patch Notes: Weapon Balance Changes in Multiplayer Games

The 9th season of COD Mobile is officially launched, as are the balance changes of the various weapons that come with this update. Season 8 witnessed the rise of MX9 and Holger-26 as the undisputed rulers of multiplayer modes, followed by CR-56 AMAX (M67 ammunition), AS-VAL, M13 and Fennec.

The patch notes for season 9 seem to determine the changes to Domination, but unfortunately, the developers have not yet contacted Holger 26 LMG, which means it will continue to dominate the multiplayer game scene.

Some forgotten weapons this season have also been picked up. If the weakening of the alpha of the previous season is large enough, players may see a new metadata brewing.
