Call of Duty: Mobiles Halloween update adds a new weapon, game modes and a spooky makeover for Standoff

Halloween is almost here and as always, games are getting updated to match the spooky themes of the festival. After Free Fire announced the update yesterday, it is the start of Call of Duty: Mobile. The game’s Halloween update is finally here and brings with it a couple of new additions including a brand-new weapon. Here’s a round up of what is in store.

NA-45 sniper rifle

The NA-15 sniper rifle is finally available for players. The rifle was announced at the start of Season 11 of the game alongside the Fennec SMG. The new sniper rifle does explosive damage that can affect multiple enemies at once. However, its single shot damage is lower than other assault rifles. Regardless, a well-placed headshot can still take down an enemy in one hit. 

The base version of the weapon is available for free. In order to get it, players will have to partake and complete a new Seasonal Challenge called Elite Marksman. Players can also win it via the Thorned Rose Draw. Players can also just grab the NA-45 Lycanthorpe. 

Pumpkin Confirmed game mode

As the name would suggest, Pumpkin Confirmed is pretty much the same as the Kill Confirmed game mode. However, instead of dog tags, players will drop pumpkins when killed. On top of this, the game mode will be 10v10, so players can expect a bit of craziness of the 10v10 game mode as well.  

Halloween Standoff

Just like last year, Standoff map is all decked out in Jack-o-lanterns, candles and other spooky stuff. The map will be available in Team Death Match, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, Cranked and Attack of the Undead. Speaking of which…

Return of Attack of the Undead

While many players were hoping for a return of Zombie mode, the developers instead offer Attack of the Undead. The new mode is still in the spirit of Halloween. To recall, the mode sees one player turn into a faster, more agile zombie who can only melee attack. Any player killed by the ‘zombie’ also becomes a zombie.    

Developers have also revealed that the secret codes unlocked by players can now be redeemed on pawntakespawn.com. You can learn more about that here. Besides this, there are a bunch of other events and playlists for players to check out. To know more about the update click here.

WhatsApp to support Face Unlock on Android: Report

WhatsApp is reportedly bringing two new features in the future. These features were spotted in the beta version released under the Google Play Beta Program, which was first reported by WABetaInfo.

WhatsApp has been steadily rolling out new features to the Instant Messaging app and it looks like WhatsApp is all set to introduce the new features to let users be able to join group calls that they have missed through a new prompt. If a contact invites an unavailable user to a call, that user can then join or ignore said ongoing call the next time they open WhatsApp. This is similar to the functionality provided by Zoom and WebEx to join ongoing calls at will.

The other feature lets the users use face unlock on Android phones to unlock WhatsApp. Fingerprint lock in the settings will be renamed to Biometric lock. This would be a welcome feature for Pixel 4 users that rely only on face unlock.

The new settings would be supported by Android’s Biometric API, which allows users to use all the biometric features available on the device. The feature is not yet available, so commenting on the ease of use will have to wait till there is a feature roll out soon.

The rise of face masks has made face unlock less popular in recent times, but it is interesting to see apps like WhatsApp making use of face unlock as a feature, which would be useful for the devices which only support face unlock.
