Call of Duty: Mobile Season 3 — Paranoia launches on March 18 at 4PM PT.
New Mode — DMZ: Recon Quick Play
Drop into Serpent Island and engage in a faster-paced gameplay loop compared to a standard DMZ: Recon match. To speed things up, Quick Play brings Operators into a condensed version of Serpent Island consisting of a smaller playable area across the following POIs on the island’s north end: Kurohana Base, Observatory, Kurohana Ship, Port, and Residential.
Up to four squads deploy to Serpent Island in DMZ: Recon Quick Play and the extraction switch has been relocated from inside the Ship interior to an outside location, creating natural tension and counterplay between squads inside and outside the Ship.
When you’re looking for quicker matches, intense combat engagements or simply want to experience a new way to play the fan-favorite extraction mode, Quick Play is for you.
