COD Mobile Season 8 Mythic Weapons: All 3 & How to Get

Season 8 of Call of Duty: Mobile, titled Against All Fate, introduces something the game has never done before: a Mythic Weapons Series Armory that contains three different Mythic weapons in a single offering, plus a long-term free event that lets dedicated players earn one of those three Mythics without spending COD Points. This is one of the biggest reward systems the game has added in recent seasons and is tied directly to the Honkai Impact 3rd collaboration.

The three Mythic weapons are the ISO Hemlock — Core of Thunder, the Static-HV — Core of Fire, and the BAL-27 — Core of Reason. Each comes with the full Mythic treatment: unique visual design, special elimination effects, custom inspect and reload animations, and an upgrade path that unlocks additional effects as you progress the weapon. This guide explains what each Mythic is, how the free event works, how the paid Armory works, and the practical decisions players need to make.

The Three Mythic Weapons

1. ISO Hemlock — Core of Thunder
This is the Mythic version of the new ISO Hemlock assault rifle that arrives in Season 8. The Core of Thunder variant features a futuristic design with purple lightning effects and circular structural elements. It is aimed at players who prefer controlled mid-range assault rifle play. Because the base ISO Hemlock is a new functional weapon in the season, many players will be interested in running both the regular version and the Mythic skin.

2. Static-HV — Core of Fire
This is the Mythic version of the new Static-HV SMG. The Core of Fire design leans into aggressive orange and red energy effects with a fiery aesthetic. The base Static-HV is an aggressive, high-fire-rate SMG with a 50-round magazine, so the Mythic version appeals strongly to players who like close-to-mid range pressure and high volume of fire.

3. BAL-27 — Core of Reason
The BAL-27 receives a high-tech cybernetic look with blue and white holographic elements. This Mythic is for players who already like the BAL-27 or want a distinctive futuristic assault rifle option. Unlike the other two, the BAL-27 is not a brand-new weapon in Season 8, but the Mythic treatment still makes it a high-value cosmetic and status item.

All three Mythics include the standard suite of Mythic features: unique iron sights or visual overlays, special kill effects, inspect animations, reload animations, and progressive upgrade levels that add more visual flair the further you upgrade them.

Two Ways to Get the Mythics

Season 8 offers two distinct paths.

Path 1: The Free Mythic Weapon Event

This is the headline system for most players. Shortly after the season launches, a dedicated free Mythic event goes live. Players complete weekly missions to earn progress. As you accumulate progress you work toward unlocking one of the three Mythic weapons of your choice.

Important details of the free event:

You choose which of the three Mythics you want to grind for.
You can change your selection at any time before you claim the final reward. Progress is not lost when you switch.
Once you claim the Mythic, the choice is locked.
The grind is intentionally long. Official messaging and community reporting indicate it requires dedication similar to unlocking a Mythic from a Secret Cache and is expected to span more than one season (roughly in the range of a multi-week to multi-season effort, with some estimates around 70 days of consistent progress).
Missions range from easier daily or weekly tasks to harder challenges that award more progress.

This path is completely free. No COD Points are required. The only cost is time and consistent play.

Path 2: The Honkai Mythic Weapons Series Armory (Paid)

Later in the season, the full Mythic Weapons Series Armory becomes available. This is a paid offering that contains all three Mythic weapons in one series. Players who want more than one Mythic, or who do not want to wait through the long free grind, can purchase from this Armory using COD Points.

Key points about the Armory:

It is the first time COD Mobile has put three Mythic weapons into a single series Armory.
Buying from the Armory gives access to all three weapons (depending on how far you pull).
If you purchase the weapons through the Armory, it cancels and resets any progress you had in the free Mythic event.
The Armory also includes a large number of additional rewards such as charms, stickers, frames, and themed throwables tied to the operators and weapons.

Players who only want one Mythic and are willing to grind should stay on the free event path. Players who want multiple Mythics or want them immediately will look at the paid Armory.

How to Approach the Free Event Efficiently

Because the free grind is long, efficiency matters.

Pick your preferred Mythic early based on the weapon you actually enjoy using. Switching is allowed, but having a clear goal helps motivation.
Complete every weekly mission. The harder missions give more progress, so prioritize those when possible.
Play the modes that the missions favor. If missions reward the new top-down roguelike mode or specific Multiplayer/Battle Royale playlists, spend time there.
Do not buy the paid Armory if you are committed to the free path. Purchasing voids the free progress.
Track your progress regularly so you know how close you are to the final claim.

The event is designed so that consistent players who log in and complete missions over the full duration will earn the Mythic. Sporadic play will make the timeline much longer.

Which Mythic Should You Choose?

There is no single correct answer. It depends on your playstyle and what you already own.

Choose Static-HV — Core of Fire if you main aggressive SMGs and like high fire rate and large magazines.
Choose ISO Hemlock — Core of Thunder if you prefer mid-range assault rifles and want the Mythic version of a brand-new Season 8 weapon.
Choose BAL-27 — Core of Reason if you already like the BAL-27 or simply prefer its cybernetic aesthetic over the other two.

Many players will also consider which base weapon they plan to use most during the season. Getting the Mythic skin for a gun you will actually equip often gives more value than choosing purely on looks.

Additional Season 8 Context

The Mythic systems sit alongside several other major features:

The new Static-HV SMG available through the Challenge Pass
The new ISO Hemlock assault rifle in the Battle Pass
A free themed Operator skin event
Operator Draws inspired by Honkai Impact 3rd Valkyries
The limited-time Quantum Platform POI in Battle Royale
The new top-down roguelike Multiplayer mode

The free Mythic event is one of the longest-term progression systems in the season, so starting it early is important if you want to finish within a reasonable timeframe.

Practical Advice

Decide early whether you are grinding free or planning to spend on the Armory. Mixing the two is not efficient because buying resets free progress.
If you are free-to-play or low-spending, commit to the free event and treat the weekly missions as a regular part of your play routine.
If you want more than one Mythic, the paid Armory is the only realistic route.
Watch for any mid-season adjustments to mission difficulty or progress rates. Live-service events sometimes receive small tuning changes.

Final Thoughts

Season 8 — Against All Fate gives players access to three new Mythic weapons: ISO Hemlock — Core of Thunder, Static-HV — Core of Fire, and BAL-27 — Core of Reason. For the first time, all three sit in a single Mythic Weapons Series Armory, and for the first time players can earn one of them completely free through a long-term mission-based event.

The free path requires consistent play across multiple weeks or seasons and lets you switch your chosen Mythic until you claim it. The paid Armory offers all three at once but cancels free progress if you buy. Choose the path that matches your budget and patience, pick the Mythic that fits the weapon you actually enjoy, and start the missions early if you are going the free route.

This is one of the most generous Mythic opportunities COD Mobile has offered, provided you are willing to put in the time.
