The COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint is a free ICR-1 weapon design for players who digitally preorder Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. You must link Call of Duty: Mobile to the same Activision account used for your preorder and log into MW4 on October 23, 2026. The blueprint will arrive separately in COD Mobile.
The reward isn’t sent immediately after you buy MW4. Activision will distribute the ICR-1 Shattered Relay in stages from October 30 through November 30, with a December 31 claiming deadline. Here’s how to qualify, check your linked accounts and make sure the reward reaches the right COD Mobile profile.
How to get the free COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint
Follow these five steps to receive the COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint. Both digital Standard and Vault Edition preorders qualify, so you don’t need to buy the more expensive edition just for this reward.
- Link your accounts: Open COD Mobile Settings, find the account linking options and connect the profile you play to your Activision account.
- Preorder MW4 digitally: Purchase Modern Warfare 4 Standard Digital or Vault Edition on an eligible platform before launch. Physical editions are not listed as eligible.
- Match the account: Make sure the Activision account associated with your MW4 purchase is the same account linked to COD Mobile.
- Log into MW4: Launch Modern Warfare 4 on October 23 using that eligible account. Your purchase receipt alone does not complete the login requirement.
- Claim in COD Mobile: From October 30 onward, open COD Mobile’s mailbox and claim the ICR-1 Shattered Relay message once delivered.
Make sure you link the correct mobile profile before the MW4 login. If you have several Activision accounts, double-check which one is attached to the game purchase. The COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint is delivered through the linked profile, not automatically to every profile you own.
Shattered Relay release date and delivery schedule
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| October 12 | Reward announced |
| October 23 | Log into Modern Warfare 4 |
| October 30–November 30 | COD Mobile blueprint distribution |
| After November 30 | Missing-reward support becomes available |
| December 31 | Last day to claim the reward |
The COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint begins arriving on October 30, not October 23. Activision is sending rewards in waves through November 30. If your account qualifies, a missing mailbox message early in that window isn’t necessarily an error.
Check COD Mobile periodically after distribution begins, and make sure you actually claim the in-game mailbox reward. Don’t leave it until the last day: the deadline for collecting Shattered Relay is December 31, 2026.
Does Modern Warfare 4 Standard Edition qualify?
Yes. The COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint is available to eligible digital Standard Edition and digital Vault Edition preorder customers. Neither the Vault Edition’s additional cosmetics nor its other premium bonuses are necessary for this mobile blueprint.
Activision specifies a digital preorder, so a physical edition isn’t confirmed as eligible. You also need to log into the released Modern Warfare 4 on October 23 using the account linked to COD Mobile. Simply buying the game and not signing in won’t fulfil the stated steps.
How to check your Activision account link
Before MW4 launches, sign into the Activision account you used for your digital preorder and confirm that the correct platform account is attached. Then open COD Mobile and check the linked account in its Settings. The COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint requires those accounts to match.
Avoid unlinking accounts at random if your current setup looks wrong. Activision account-linking restrictions may affect changes, and using a different account could complicate the reward. Check the existing links carefully before changing them.
Why hasn’t my Shattered Relay blueprint arrived?
The COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint has a delayed delivery window. Before October 30, there’s nothing to collect. Between October 30 and November 30, eligible accounts receive it in phases. Start troubleshooting only after checking your account link and the dates.
- Before October 30: The rollout has not started, even if you preordered and played MW4.
- During the rollout: Open COD Mobile’s in-game mailbox and check that you’re using the linked Activision account.
- After November 30: If you qualified and still haven’t received the reward, use Activision’s missing-reward support process.
- By December 31: Claim the mailbox message before the final deadline.
For a missing COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint after November 30, have your digital purchase information and linked Activision account details ready for support. Never send anyone your password or security code. Activision’s support route is for eligible players whose blueprint hasn’t arrived by the end of the announced distribution.
Can you unlock ICR-1 Shattered Relay without MW4?
Activision announced the COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint specifically as a digital MW4 preorder bonus. There is no separately announced in-game COD Mobile challenge, redeem code or lucky draw route for the same design in the October 12 announcement.
The blueprint belongs in Call of Duty: Mobile, not your MW4 multiplayer Gunsmith. After claiming it, check the ICR-1’s available blueprint options in COD Mobile. The bonus doesn’t mean an equivalent Shattered Relay cosmetic has been unlocked in MW4.
When is the last day to claim Shattered Relay?
You must claim the COD Mobile Shattered Relay Blueprint by December 31, 2026. The distribution period finishes November 30 and missing-reward support follows, but that does not extend the claiming deadline. Check your mailbox well before the end of December.
