COD Mobile Fang Wars is the Vampires vs Werewolves faction event coming with Season 9, asking players to choose one side, complete missions and contribute towards faction progress. Vampires can earn the SO-14 Moonlit Marksman Rifle Blueprint, while Werewolves can earn the Type 25 Lone Wolf Assault Rifle Blueprint.
Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9 launches on October 14 at 5 PM PT, which is October 15 at 1 AM BST. Activision has not published a separate COD Mobile Fang Wars start time, end date or mission-by-mission scoring table, so the Season 9 launch is the earliest confirmed timing rather than a promise that every Fang Wars objective appears at that exact minute.

The core choice in COD Mobile Fang Wars is your faction. Pick Vampires or Werewolves and work with players on that side to complete the event missions and push your faction ahead of the other team.
Activision describes the event as a competition for dominance rather than a normal solo milestone track. The full mission list, scoring values and faction-balancing rules have not been published in the October Season 9 announcement, so those details need to come from the live Events tab once Fang Wars opens.
Vampire and Werewolf faction rewards
Each COD Mobile Fang Wars faction has one named Weapon Blueprint tied to its side. Vampires are linked to the SO-14 Moonlit Marksman Rifle, while Werewolves are linked to the Type 25 Lone Wolf.
| Faction | Faction-specific reward |
|---|---|
| Vampires | SO-14 Moonlit Marksman Rifle |
| Werewolves | Type 25 Lone Wolf |
If you care about one of those two blueprints more than the faction theme, that is the clearest confirmed reason to choose a side. Activision has not stated that players can swap factions later, so check the confirmation screen before locking in your choice.
COD Mobile Fang Wars shared milestone rewards

The rest of the named COD Mobile Fang Wars milestone rewards can be earned by players in either faction. Activision specifically confirms the Purifier Deadly Nightshade Operator Skill Skin, Type 19 Petal Pattern Assault Rifle Blueprint and the Swagger Strongbox among the shared rewards.
- Purifier Deadly Nightshade Operator Skill Skin
- Type 19 Petal Pattern Assault Rifle Blueprint
- Swagger Strongbox
- Additional shared milestone rewards shown in the live event
The official Season 9 post uses “and more” rather than publishing every milestone reward. That means a complete numbered reward ladder should wait for the live event screen instead of filling the gaps with leaked or guessed items.
What does the winning Fang Wars faction get?
Both sides receive the Vampire Victory and Werewolves Victory Calling Cards regardless of which faction wins. The winning COD Mobile Fang Wars faction also gets a Gold version of its own team Calling Card.
The Gold Calling Card is the confirmed outcome-based reward. Activision has not announced an extra weapon, Operator or paid currency reward exclusively for the winning team, so the faction victory should not be described as unlocking a second secret grand prize.
When does COD Mobile Fang Wars start?
Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9: Vampires vs Werewolves launches on October 14 at 5 PM PT. In the UK, that is October 15 at 1 AM BST.
Activision names COD Mobile Fang Wars as a Season 9 event but does not give the faction event its own start or end timestamp in the announcement. Check the Events tab after the season launches for the live countdown and availability in your version of COD Mobile.
Is Fang Wars the same as Call of the Dead?
No. Call of the Dead is a separate Season 9 event that uses Howlbones and an Event Store. Collecting 100 Howlbones automatically unlocks the K-9 Unit Fantasma Operator Skill Skin.
COD Mobile Fang Wars is the Vampire vs Werewolf faction competition. The two events share the Season 9 Halloween theme, but Howlbones are not listed as the currency for Fang Wars and the K-9 Unit reward is attached to Call of the Dead instead.
Which Fang Wars faction should you choose?
The most concrete difference before launch is the faction Blueprint. Choose Vampires if you want the SO-14 Moonlit Marksman Rifle, or Werewolves if the Type 25 Lone Wolf matters more to you.
Shared milestone rewards can be earned from either side, and both factions receive both standard Victory Calling Cards. The winning side gets the Gold version of its own card, so the weapon Blueprint is the bigger guaranteed distinction when deciding where to join.
COD Mobile Fang Wars summary
COD Mobile Fang Wars pits Vampires against Werewolves in Season 9. Complete faction missions, build progress with your team and earn the side-specific SO-14 or Type 25 Blueprint alongside shared rewards such as Purifier Deadly Nightshade and Type 19 Petal Pattern.
Season 9 launches October 14 at 5 PM PT, or October 15 at 1 AM BST, but Activision has not published a separate Fang Wars event timer or full mission table yet. Use the live Events screen for those details when the season opens.
