COD: Mobile – First Free Mythic Gun Skin? What We Know So Far

CODM Anniversary Stream Teases New Features

During the recent anniversary live stream, developers from the Chinese version of CODM showcased a variety of upcoming features, including a new Battle Royale map, character skins, blueprints, and other rewards. But beyond the celebratory reveals, one announcement caught everyone’s attention: a potential free Mythic weapon blueprint. Traditionally, Mythic blueprints in CODM are premium items, requiring in-game currency or participation in paid draws, making the idea of a free Mythic weapon highly exciting for players.

A Free Mythic Blueprint for the Community?

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “This sounds way too good to be true. What's the catch?” And honestly, you’ve got a point. The CODM team has been a little cagey on the details. Apparently, this whole free Mythic thing came up in a Chinese anniversary stream, and we’re still waiting for official confirmation.

Here’s the kicker: CODM has a history of releasing cool stuff just for specific regions (looking at you, China and Garena). And sometimes, us global players get left out, or the items show up later. So, while there’s no guarantee yet that everyone will get a shot at the Lava skin, CODM has been more responsive to global feedback lately. A good example? The Alchemy Stars camo, which was first a paid option but then got turned into an event after players complained. So, fingers crossed!

Why Now? A Shift in CODM’s Approach to Rewards

This move might be part of CODM's efforts to enhance community engagement, especially after past feedback from global players who often feel left out of special rewards seen only in the Chinese or Garena versions of the game. A free Mythic skin could help bridge this gap, offering global players something highly valued without needing to pay for it.

Historically, CODM’s test servers occasionally allowed players to try Mythic weapons for free, but these items could not be transferred to regular accounts and were limited to a testing environment. By offering a permanent, earnable Mythic blueprint, CODM would be delivering a reward that resonates with fans across all versions.

Will It Be Available Globally?

As of now, it’s all one big guessing game. We don’t have a date, and we’re not 100% sure it’ll even happen for global servers. But if it does, it’ll likely be tied to an event that lets you complete challenges to unlock it.

Global players recently missed out on the Alchemy Stars camo, which was initially released only as a paid option. After community feedback, developers made the skin available through a grindable event. A similar community response could influence the availability of this Mythic blueprint for all players, regardless of region.

Which Gun Will be the Free Mythic?

Now, let’s talk specifics. The rumor mill is saying that the free Mythic blueprint might be the AK117 Lava skin. It’s not just a regular AK117 either; we’re talking about a Mythic version. Think fiery red accents, pulsing animations—basically, it’s like your gun is powered by a tiny, angry volcano.

And while CODM already has a Mythic AK117 called the Grim Ending (very goth, very cool), it’s been around for a while, so this AK117 Lava could be a refreshing—and free—alternative. But hey, it’s still all a big “maybe.” CODM loves to keep us on our toes.

CODM’s Biggest Giveaway?

It would be a historical step for CODM as free Mythic blueprint would become a premium weapon skin but free of extra cost on the players. It would then not only help them succeed in making the anniversary day memorable for CODM but it would also show them being able to listen and to act on genuine suggestions that might be coming from their very own community. Many would hope to see it on every global server that they design so that each and every fan can take part in this event.

All we can do right now is wait and hope that this leak does pan out. Whether you play for free or have thrown money at the game buying stuff in-game, a future free Mythic weapon blueprint could redefine what CODM can offer its players.
