Don’t miss out on upgrading your arsenal with the M13 Morningstar Mythic skin in CODM!
Over the past 18 months, I’ve worked very hard to enhance my CODM weapon collection with a wide variety of classes and skins. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to enhance many of my guns with their Legendary and Mythic skins. One of my favorites — the M13 Morningstar — is getting ready to leave the store. This is a rerun of the original 2021 release of the Mythic M13 — not a redux.
This time around, this Mythic skin — or blueprint — was released in mid-July 2023. I had been eagerly awaiting the M13 Morningstar to make its appearance in the store, and as soon as it appeared, I snatched it up. Now that it’s about to leave the store — and there is no indication of when or if it will be available again — I don’t want others to let this opportunity slip away.
History of the M13 in Call of Duty
To understand why the Mythic version of this weapon is special, I thought I would provide a brief history of the M13 itself. The automatic assault rifle was originally released for Call of Duty: Mobile players in October 2021 as a part of Season 8 that year. It has become a fan-favorite weapon due to its high rate of fire. Even though it has a sub-par damage rating (consistent 5-shot kill), it has a lower recoil and larger magazine capacity than other assault rifles.
The real-world origins of this virtual firearm trace back to the H&K G36C, a German assault rifle developed in the 1990s. The G36C was designed to be compact and lightweight, making it ideal for close-quarters combat situations. The in-game M13 is also great for close range and mid-range combat.
The Power of the M13 Morningstar Mythic
Just like other guns in CODM, the M13 has Epic, Legendary, and Mythic skins available. The M13’s Mythic blueprint is referred to as Morningstar, after the angel of death, Azrael. As previously mentioned, this is a rerun of the 2021 release and all the same perks are included this time around. So, it’s a great time to pick it up if you didn’t get it the first time. It will take 8 upgrade levels to max it out. Many CODM laud the M13 Morningstar as the best non-upgraded Mythic in the game. That means you get a lot from the base level Mythic without having to upgrade it first, but you do get progressive add-ons that are worth the upgrade.
Some of the upgrades include:
- Four reactive stages — two kills, four kills, six kills, and eight kills — color starts yellow and gradually turns red
- Built-in Red Dot sight — helps with long-range battles
- Ammo Counter that shows remaining count of magazine
- Three (3) muzzle flashes
- Three (3) kill effects
- Stickers and trinkets
In addition to the skin and its add-ons, this Mythic crate also includes the Special Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley Character called ‘Ghost — Azrael’. This is the only Mythic Ghost character within CODM. This Ghost skin is based more on a mystic look than a military one, which is part of what makes it such a special option with this draw. It is all black so it’s great for multiplayer as well as battle royale.

How to Get a Mythic Weapon in CODM
Mythic Weapons can only be obtained through the purchase of Mythic Drop Crates within the game. These crates are only available for a limited amount of time and can only be bought using in-game CP (COD Points). That period of time is not specified so it really is a game of chance. Crates contain a series of items — including emotes, trinkets, and, of course, the Mythic skins. Here’s how the process works.
- Open successive Mythic Drop Crates. Each crate costs more COD Points (CP).
- As more crates are opened, more items are removed, which increases your chance of getting the Mythic skin.
- Each crate has 10 rolls and you are guaranteed to receive the Mythic skin by the tenth roll. Ten rolls cost approximately 8,030 CP — or ~$75 USD (as of August 2023). You can use this Lucky Draw calculator to determine your spend on most types of draws in the game (global server only).
It is possible to get the skin on the first roll, but as I mentioned, it really is a game of chance, and the rolls are randomized.
While there are no real differences between the base stats of the standard, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic weapons, you might get different enhancements based on the skins (i.e. sights, etc.).
Final thoughts on the M13 Morningstar Mythic Drop
This is undoubtedly one of the best Mythic drops available in Call of Duty: Mobile, which is why it has been re-released just as it was two years ago. In my opinion, it’s 100% worth it to buy not only for the M13 Morningstar blueprint but also for the Ghost Azrael skin. With the possible exception of the emote, every step of this Mythic draw is worth owning. Check it out while you can!
