Call of Duty: Mobile is preparing one of its most unusual crossovers yet: a Season 8 collaboration with Honkai Impact 3rd. The partnership brings HoYoverse’s sci-fi battlesuit style into CODM’s multiplayer and collection systems, but the exact reward schedule is still being rolled out. Here is what is confirmed, what is strongly reported and what players should wait to verify.
What Is the CODM x Honkai Impact 3rd Collaboration?
It is a licensed crossover between Activision’s mobile shooter and HoYoverse’s Honkai Impact 3rd. Search-visible coverage describes it as CODM’s first collaboration with the Honkai series. Instead of adding a separate Honkai game mode, the event is expected to express the partnership through themed weapon blueprints, operator cosmetics, an event progression track and promotional rewards.
The crossover is distinct from a normal seasonal Battle Pass. The trailer and reports point to a collection-focused event in which players can work toward a themed reward while premium Mythic items remain part of the monetized ecosystem.
Three Reported Mythic Weapons
Several independent reports identify three Honkai-themed Mythic weapon blueprints planned for Season 8:
- BAL-27 — Core of Reason
- Static-HV — Core of Fire
- ISO Hemlock — Core of Rebirth
These names are reported by gaming coverage and community research around the official reveal. CODM has not yet published a full global draw page with upgrade costs, tracer effects, kill effects or final availability in every region. Verify the spelling and weapon pairing in your own event tab before planning a purchase.
The Free Mythic Choice and In-Game Tasks
The most notable report is that players can earn one of the three Mythic weapons without a draw by completing in-game tasks. Community coverage describes the route as a dedication-heavy progression track, not a login-only gift. The exact task list, point total, unlock date and whether the choice is permanent remain subject to the official event rules.
When the event opens, read the reward panel before selecting a weapon. Confirm whether progress comes from multiplayer matches, Battle Royale, daily missions, seasonal challenges or a limited weekend bonus. A task that grants a choice token is different from a task that grants a temporary trial.

How to Plan the Grind
- Screenshot the event rules and total progress requirement.
- Prioritize tasks that overlap with your normal modes and Battle Pass missions.
- Check the weekly reset timer before saving a weekend bonus for later.
- Choose the Mythic blueprint only after testing each weapon’s base handling.
Likely Operator Skins and Cosmetic Content
Social previews have circulated Honkai-inspired operator concepts, including references to characters such as Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychik. Those character names indicate the collaboration’s theme, but they are not enough to confirm which CODM operators, draw tiers or bundle prices will ship globally. Treat any skin list without an official item card as provisional.
Expect the wider package to include calling cards, emotes, charms, loading screens and profile cosmetics alongside weapon blueprints. Cosmetic categories are easier for the publisher to adjust late, so wait for the final event page before counting rewards.
What Gameplay Changes Are Expected?
The crossover is expected to remain compatible with normal CODM multiplayer and Battle Royale rules. The meaningful changes should be visual and progression-based: themed weapon inspection scenes, anime-inspired effects, event tasks and a limited-time reward track. There is no confirmed permanent Honkai mode, new damage system or character ability that changes competitive balance.
Mythic blueprints change presentation, not the underlying weapon class. Compare the weapon’s current Season 8 balance statistics in the gunsmith rather than assuming a cosmetic rarity makes it stronger.
How to Prepare Your CODM Account
- Update early: download the Season 8 resource pack on Wi-Fi before the event window.
- Keep storage free: high-resolution collaboration assets can require an extra download.
- Save normal currencies: wait for the live task rules before buying bundles or draws.
- Check your region: licensing and reward availability can differ between global, Garena and other builds.
- Record your choice: screenshot the final Mythic selection so you can verify the claim in your inventory.
What Is Still Unconfirmed?
The following details should remain open until CODM publishes the Season 8 event page:
- Exact global launch and end dates.
- Whether all three Mythic weapons are available in every regional build.
- The complete free-task route, progress total and reset schedule.
- Final operator names, draw contents and CP prices.
- Upgrade tiers, duplicate compensation and return availability.
- Any limited map, mode or story mission tied to Honkai Impact 3rd.
Keeping these items unconfirmed is important: community posts often combine test-server information, leaks and edited promotional mockups.
