Call of Duty Mobile has been teasing the Overkill perk for several months now, with many fans waiting for it to make its way into the game. The perk's icon was added a few months ago, but it remained locked. Though since the Call of Duty Mobile anniversary update, the perk seems to have been removed unexpectedly.
Call of Duty Mobile is planning to celebrate its 1st-anniversary update this week. The update is expected to add in themed content along with some long-awaited features for the game's community. Based on the disappearance of Overkill in the patch, it seems that the popular perk will not be added to the game just yet.
So far, there's been no comment from Tencent as to why the perk has been removed from the list. Some players are theorizing that it could be going through balancing changes, as by default, Overkill allows players to swap out their secondary weapons and instead equip an additional primary. It is common for players to wield a combination of sniper rifle with an assault rifle as to have a weapon for any situation.
Overkill has disappeared but was quickly replaced on the list by the Restock perk, which is more of a utility perk, as it automatically recharges equipment over 25 seconds. Compared to Overkill, Restock is a much weaker perk that sees less use. This set of perks are all considered Tactical Perks and are usually the set that gets revisions due to balance concerns.
Still, there's tons of content coming to Call of Duty Mobile. The update is expected to include new operators, blueprints, and a special anniversary event side by side with the Halloween events. These events will introduce special game modes and cosmetics to the game making October a favored month for Call of Duty Mobile fans.
There are other changes to the perks that fans did notice after the update. Tactician was added which allows players the ability to carry an additional piece of tactical equipment. The final perk slot also saw a new addition as Launcher Plus has been added, giving players the ability to add a single reserve ammunition to all of their launchers.
More information on how to unlock the new perks will be available once the anniversary event begins. Till then, players must simply wait as the Call of Duty Mobile developers slowly unveil their plans for this time of year.
Call of Duty Mobile is free to play on iOS and Android devices.
