About two weeks ago it was teased that fan-favorite map Rust from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be added into Call of Duty: Mobile. Yesterday, Activision announced that the map will be coming to the title, along with an update scheduled for next week via a Community Update on the r/CallOfDutyMobile subreddit.
While the Community Update does not specify exactly when players will be able to expect this addition to Call of Duty: Mobile, it will likely come sometime in early May based on the events schedule that lists it below the end of the Gun Game Team Fight and Rapid Fire modes which both expire on April 30. Rust will become a featured Multiplayer map according to the Reddit post, and a new page was uploaded to the Activision Games Blog that gives fans an overview of the map that it says has "become synonymous with Call of Duty."
Activision has shown that it is well aware of the map's iconic status recently, given Rust was put into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as a headlining addition to the game's second season of content. The company also just put out a remastered version of the story campaign for its originating game, Modern Warfare 2.
The Reddit Community Update on April 24 also spends a good amount of time focused on player feedback, bug reports being addressed, and the recently announced Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship. This online tournament coming in collaboration with Sony Mobile is a big deal for what would otherwise just be a "best-of" mobile spin-off to the massive first-person shooter franchise, as it features over $1,000,000 in prize money to participants. Qualifiers for the tournament will begin on April 30.
Call of Duty: Mobile has been receiving a number of updates and events as of late alongside the franchise's two current main titles, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone. One new event offers players the chance to receive cosmetics themed with Crescent Moon iconography, including a special skin for Leni "Zero" Vogel.
That said the ongoing content drip and popularity of Call of Duty: Mobile has also left it susceptible to the same concerns with cheaters as the game's bigger cousins. The developers have promised to take swift actions against cheaters, much like how Call of Duty: Warzone recently banned over 70,000 players.
Call of Duty Mobile is out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
