Hey fellow CODM players! Can you believe it's already 2026? Season 1 is about to drop, and I've got all the intel on the Frozen Abyss update. Trust me, this one's packing serious heat for those cold winter nights. Let's break it down.
❄️ Battle Pass: Frozen Abyss
Mark your calendars: January 14 at 4PM PT. The free and premium tracks are stacked with winter-themed goodies. The headliners? The new LC10 SMG – a fast-firing, low-recoil beast that'll shred up close – and the Inflatable Decoy, a tactical that pops a balloon dummy to distract enemies. I can already see the mind games.
Free tier rewards include winter skins, blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Grab the Premium Pass for operator skins like American Bulldog – Polar Explorer and Portnova – Arctic Adventurer, plus icy blueprints like Man-O-War – Tidal Lance and LC10 – Tracker. There's also a Battle Pass Subscription that gives you the Polina – Arctic Shadow skin, Peacekeeper MK2 – Winter Expedition blueprint, and a backpack – plus 10% XP boost and discounts. Nice.
🧊 New Mythic Draw: Codename Lazarus
A demonic soldier missing most of his torso? Yes please. The Codename: Lazarus – Cosmic Wrath Mythic Operator is the star of a brand-new draw. You can unlock and upgrade this undead beast, along with the Legendary FAL – Aether Fracture blueprint. If you're into creepy-cool cosmetics, this is your moment.
🏆 Grim Ending Returns (You Voted!)
The Mythic Weapon Voting event has spoken – the AK117 – Grim Ending is coming back! It returns on January 23 (UTC) for a limited time as part of the Champion Mythic Drop. If you missed it before, now's your chance. Don't sleep on it.
🥊 Street Fighter Crossover & Winter Events
The brawl continues! A second Street Fighter event brings challenges and rewards like the M4 – Vulcan Blast blueprint, Charm – Charming Guile, and the marquee Prizefighters – Ryu’s Gloves melee blueprint. Hadouken!
Plus, winter sports events offer the AS Val – Ski Slope blueprint and Otter – Slope Drifter skin. And if you missed past Secret Cache rewards, the Catch-Up event lets you earn them, including a new Season 1 weapon camo and the Legendary Striker from Season 11 2025.
🎯 Challenge Pass & Store Updates
The Season 1 Challenge Pass has Standard, Special, and Elite missions. Earn Tokens and exchange them for seasonal items like a UAV Scorestreak Reskin and a Frag Grenade Reskin.
Other draws feature Artery – Death and Echo – Eternal Grasp, plus skins like Phantom – Cyro Shadow, Minotaur – Polar Rage, and Dusk – Frost Cinder with blueprints like EM2 – Frigid Dominion, HVK-30 – Polar Circuit, and LC10 – Glacial Ash.
Double CP continues until January 19 – double your CP purchases from the event page. And the Battle Pass Vault adds the Day of Reckoning (Season 2 2021) and Soldier’s Tale (Season 1 2024) passes, bringing back Mace – Back for More, Mara – Awakening, Death Angel Alice – Wonder Lost, and more.
❄️ Final Thoughts
Season 1 – Frozen Abyss is packed. From the LC10 and Inflatable Decoy to the Mythic Lazarus and Street Fighter gear, there's something for every playstyle. I'll see you online on January 14 – stay frosty! 🧊🔥
According to coverage from Destructoid, major seasonal updates like Call of Duty: Mobile’s Frozen Abyss tend to stand out most when they combine gameplay-impacting additions such as the LC10 SMG and Inflatable Decoy with high-visibility cosmetic drops, since that mix keeps both competitive players and collectors engaged throughout the season.
