COD Mobile Season 1 2022: New maps, weapons, and everything we know

January 03, 2022 by RSS Feed

In 2021, Call of Duty Mobile gave us amazing new seasons every month. And it looks like the developers are set to repeat the same thing in 2022. Season 1 of COD Mobile might drop in 2022 sooner than we expected.

As always, the new season will be loaded with new weapons, maps, skins, and action-packed events. Before the season actually lands, let's take a look at some heavily speculated additions.

When is COD Mobile Season 1 2022 coming out?

Based on some predictions and speculations, we can expect the new update patch around January 13. However, no official dates have been announced for the new 2022 season.

Each season of Call of Duty Mobile runs for almost a month. Season 11’s finale lines up with the usual cycle. And considering that most of the updates roll out on Thursdays, we can assume that the first season of 2022 will begin on January 13.

You can expect an official announcement about the 2022 season 1 soon.

New Weapons in COD Mobile Season 1 2022

The developers have not made any official announcements regarding the season or its content. However, some curious fans have seen two new weapons being added to the Chinese test round.

The PPSh41 SMG seems to have made its way to the mobile version of COD. The submachine gun is quite popular and has appeared in several titles.

Along with the SMG, the Kilo 141 AR might be added to the game. This gun has been borrowed from Modern Warfare. From some early glimpses, this assault rifle seems quite powerful.

Please note that not all the weapons seen in test builds get added to the final version of the update.

New maps in COD Mobile Season 1 2022

Just like weapons, there have been no official confirmations regarding the maps. However, the Chinese test build has seen two classic maps being tested out.

One of them is Hacienda, a very popular map from COD Black Ops 4. The other is Hardhat, which appeared in Modern Warfare 3 and Modern Warfare 2019.

If these weapons and maps make their way into the 2022 update, fans are in for a real treat. Stay tuned for more updates about Call of Duty Mobile.

Best Light Characters in World Flipper

December 29, 2021 by RSS Feed

World Flipper is one of the best games that combines gacha, RPG, and pinball. You have to build a powerful team, collect characters, and fight in some pinball battles!

The characters in World Flipper are categorized into six elements, and Light is one of them. A Light team comp can deal heavy damage to opponents. Most of the Light teams will be led by either Ellya or Sha Suzu.

World Flipper: Best Light Units

Here’s a list of the best Light characters in World Flipper:

1. Ellya

Undoubtedly, Ellya is one of the main units for a strong Light team comp. Ellya’s special skill is ‘Luminous Splash’ where she fires light orbs at opponents. The damage inflicted goes up with the buffs that Ellya has. Additionally, she can also restore the team’s HP.

As a leader, Ellya buffs up 100% skill damage for all Light units on the team. With a skill gauge of 420, Ellya is almost irreplaceable in the squad.

2. Keira

Keira is another strong Light character that inflicts heavy damage. Her ‘Piercing Rush’ skill literally pierces through the opponents and inflicts Light damage.

As a leader, Keira provides a 50% Attack Buff for all Light units with ‘See something, Do something’. Keira has a skill gauge of 500, which makes her a great addition to the team.

3. Razelt

Razelt is more on the defensive side. His ‘Lord’s Aegis’ skill summons a shield wall to cover the team. At the same time, he grants ‘Recover’ to his allies, increases debuff resistance, and also boosts elemental resistance.

In the lead position, Razelt increases Attack Buff by 40% for Light units, recovers HP (4% to 40%), and increases Dark Resistance (1.5% to 15%). To create a well-balanced team, Razeit is a must-have on your team. He has a skill gauge of 530.

Apart from these characters, Finn with his Glistening Edge and 500 skill gauge is a great alternative. As far as armaments are concerned, Whitetail’s Axe, Old Staff, Canyon Consul, Memory Mirage, and Uninscribed Gauntlet are some of the preferred options.

World Flipper is available on Google Play and App Store for free.

December 28, 2021 by RSS Feed

148Apps Game of the Year 2021

December 27, 2021 by RSS Feed

Continuing the trend begun last year, I wanted to model some Game of the Year awards through categories in addition to simply ranking my personal favorites. Between now and the dawn of 2022, I'll be updating this page regularly with new entries for each category, so make sure to check in and see what titles win which awards.

The Categories

• Best Old Game
• Best Streaming Game
• Best Music
• Best Style
• Best Multiplayer
• Best Story
• Best Game

For each of these categories, I'll choose a winner and mention some notable runner-ups. Any game nominated or chosen for any of these cateories is then eligible for the final category, Best Game, which is the culminating category where I will construct a ranked list of my favorite games from this year.

Best Old Game

Genshin Impact

Since Genshin Impact's launch, I have played the game every single day. For those counting, that is over 450 consecutive days of playing the same game. Part of the reason for this is the drip feed of premium currency that is part of miHoYo's strategy to monetize its players, but a large part of why that is fine with me (and I keep coming back) is because the world of Teyvat is huge, bountiful, and fun to be in. Beyond the game's surprisingly great main story, there's also always something new getting added game, ensuring you always have something to look forward to. I'm no stranger to gacha games and the way they string people along, but my enthusiasm for 2020's Game of the Year hasn't waned much--if at all--through the duration of 2021, making it the easy top choice for best old game.

Runner Ups: Good Sudoku, Night in the Woods, Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City

Everything you need to know about the new Alchemy Stars Event, Sands of Time

December 27, 2021 by RSS Feed

A favorite game of many, Alchemy Stars, is now celebrating the winter holidays with a new event that introduces new Aurorians and summon mechanics to the game. The popular tile-based RPG went big on the event, featuring not only a new standard event, but also tons of log in rewards and even a mini quiz event.

In this article, you can find everything you need to know about the Sands of Time event in the game, which is currently underway.

The Sands of Time Event

Part one: December 23 - January 10

The first part of the event, Northland Journey, starts on December 23, and is a classical event which uses event-exclusive Action Points. One Action Point recovers every four hours, and players can store a maximum of 30 AP.

Part two: December 28 - January 10

The second part, Trial of the Aurora, is just like Northland Journey, but it has slightly more challenging stages that become available on December 28th. This part of the event will feature exclusive character backstories, for the new Aurorians in the game: Bethlehem, Novio, and Lola.

Once a player has cleared all these event stages, they will be rewarded with 2000 Lumamber and 2 Special Star Flares.

Lake Mirror Codeword

Running from: January 4 - January 13

This is a minigame that will test the game knowledge of each Navigator. Every single day, a new question will become available, and players have 3 tries to get it right. By answering 7 daily questions correctly, players will earn an additional 420 Lumamber!

The Cedar Market

Running from: December 23 - January 13

Each time a player completes a stage of the event, they will earn an event exclusive currency, Mistletoe. The Mistletoe (event currency) collected during the event can be exchanged in the Cedar Market for rewards such as Special Star Flares, furniture, Aurorian breakthrough materials, and a new free unit, Lola as well as her Solambers.

Lola will only be available via the Cedar Market, so if you plan on expanding your Aurorian collection, make sure you don’t miss your chance!

New Login Rewards

Running from: December 23 - January 10

By simply logging into the game during the event, players will earn the following rewards:

• On Day 1 : Mistletoe ×500, General Jasper II ×5
• On Day 2: Lumamber ×100, Nightium ×5,000
• On Day 3: Mistletoe ×1,000, Recharger Pack ×1
• On Day 4: Lumamber ×200, Anonymous Gift I ×3
• On Day 5: 5-Star Aurorian Robyn, Nightium ×10,000
• On Day 6: Chromera ×5, Recharger Pack ×2
• On Day 7: Mistletoe ×2,000, Anonymous Gift I ×4
• On Day 8: Lumamber ×500, Queen's Astonishment (exclusive event avatar) ×1

Additional login rewards

Running from: January 6 - January 13

Even more rewards will be available to players who log in and reach 60 Activity Points between January 6 and January 13, which grant them an additional 600 Lumamber and Aurorian upgrade materials.

New Aurorian outfits

All throughout the event, a number of new outfits for some player-favourite Aurorians will also become available. These outfits are:

• The Stoic Coachman outfit (Nails) - obtained from 1 Free Special Event Book
• Night to Remember outfit (Areia) - obtained from 1 Paid Special Event Book
• Mirror Mirror outfit (Victoria) - obtained from the in-game store
• Naughty or Nice outfit (Gronru) - obtained from the Christmas Discount Pack

Revamped recruiting mechanics

Navigators who aim to summon a specific, featured 6-Star Aurorian will now have an easier time, since the gacha mechanics have been revamped. Each 2 summons that result in a non-featured 6-star Aurorian, will add up to the pity gacha, and the 3rd summon (the next one) that results in a 6-star Aurorian, will grant a guaranteed featured unit.

Special Event Book Phase 4

Players who have completed stage 1-16 of the Main Story, now have access to the Special Event Book Phase 4, being able to unfold even more of their favourite Aurorians’ stories.
