New Mythic Operator Arrives in Season 1
The biggest highlight of the new season is the arrival of the Mythic Operator Lazarus Endless Star. This version of Lazarus fits perfectly with the dark abyss theme of the season.
What makes this operator special
- Custom upgrade system with visual changes
- Unique execution animation
- Exclusive voice lines linked to his backstory
- Dark colors with space and ice-style effects
This Mythic Operator is expected to be one of the most detailed character skins released so far.
New Weapon and Tactical Equipment
Season 1 Frozen Abyss also adds two important gameplay items.
New LMG LAG 53
The LAG 53 is a high-damage light machine gun with a slower fire rate. It is designed for players who like holding positions and controlling fights. A Legendary version of this weapon will be available through the Battle Pass.
New Tactical Inflate Decoy
This new tactical item creates a fake soldier when thrown. It looks like a real player and is useful for confusing enemies, checking sniper angles, or creating space during intense fights.
Street Fighter Collaboration Continues
The COD Mobile and Street Fighter crossover is not over yet. Season 1 is expected to include the final phase of this event.
Players may see
- Return or extension of Street Fighter character skins
- Special limited-time game modes
- Final event rewards before the collaboration ends
This gives players one last chance to enjoy the crossover content.
Mythic AK117 Expected to Return
Reports suggest that the Mythic AK117 Grim Ending could return around January 18. This weapon is popular because of its clean sights and strong performance, especially in Battle Royale mode.
Lunar New Year Events in Season 1
Since Season 1 runs during the Lunar New Year period, special themed events are also planned.
Possible additions include
- Year of the Horse themed skins
- Limited-time Lunar New Year armory draws
- Red envelope events with free rewards
These events usually offer good items without heavy grinding.
