CoD Mobile weapon camo takes players into a war movie

Just when you thought it couldn't get crazier.

Activision has continually attempted to one itself by creating more ambitious cosmetic items, and CoD Mobile looks like it’s continuing to push the boundaries further than anyone thought was possible.

The CoD Mobile devs introduced the MG42 as a new weapon in Season 4 and confirmed “Witch Warden” as a Mythic skin for the new LMG. Activision revealed that the weapon features an animated miniature battlefield across its body, and an exclusive song was created by the legendary composer Hans Zimmer for the camo.

Players still have to wait before the Mythic gets added to the store, but a CoD Mobile leak provided a sneak-peek at what the miniature battlefield weapon inspection animation looks like. In the video shared, the weapon inspection animation features a fully animated cutscene depicting a short snippet of war in which a squadron falls in battle. The cutscene is accompanied by the new Hans Zimmer song, voice lines, and an animation that shows a picture of the fallen squad. CoD Mobile players were blown away that the devs were able to put all of this on a weapon for an inspection animation.

“Inspection animation got a whole cinematic Cutscene,” replied one user. That isn’t to say this remarkable cosmetic item doesn’t come without pitfalls. The animation takes about 30 seconds to play all the way through, making you an easy target while you are staring at your weapon during a match.

“While you’re doing that, they’ve already killed you 50 times,” a second player joked. It’s unclear when Activision plans to add this cosmetic item to CoD Mobile. Season 4 recently kicked off on April 10, and the devs did not reveal in the announcement blog when this new Mythic will get added.
