CALL OF DUTY : MOBILE - THE COMPETITOR

 Mobile regularly gets new "seasons" that usher in additional characters, maps, and a new Battle Pass. The current season right now is Season 4: Disavowed, and it was released to everyone on February 29, 2020.

One of the biggest highlights of Disavowed is Cage, which is the first original map to debut on CoD: Mobile. It also introduces Soap as a playable character and adds the new H.I.V.E. operator skill that allows you to launch multiple proximity mines that release nano drones to attack your enemies.

With the new Battle Pass, you'll be able to collect the colorful MacTavish skin for the AK117, Urban Tracker character, and plenty of CoD Points, crates, etc. You can obtain some rewards with the free version of the Battle Pass, but to unlock all of the rewards, you'll need to spend 560 CoD Points for the Premium Pass.

#LOADOUT

Before we talk about in-game Multiplayer strategies, let’s pull back and explore the Loadout menu a bit more.

Here, you will eventually be able to customize five separate loadouts with a Primary and Secondary Weapon, a Soldier type, an Operator Skill, a Lethal Equipment, a Tactical Equipment, and three Perks. Depending on your level, some of these options will be locked and must be earned through levelling up.

On the left side of the screen under your current level is the Primary Weapon slot, which was interacted with during the tutorial. Click this to select a Primary Weapon for use on this Loadout.

There are three different game modes to play - 

#MULTIPLAYER - 

Fast paced action and close quarters combat. Players enter fan-favourite maps from classic Call of Duty games and battle it out. Scorestreaks that could make or break the upperhand. Detailed weapon customization, game changing perks to change player’s playstyle and more.

Tips & Tricks for Multiplayer

Learning how to play Call of Duty: Mobile is easy, but mastering it is a whole other story. To be a top-tier Multiplayer player on mobile, or even a Legendary Rank Play soldier, it will take plenty of practice.

With that in mind, here are a few other tips that might help you get one step closer toward that next level, next rank, or another victory:

1. Practice Makes Perfect – Testing out a new weapon or an unfamiliar map in Practice mode, which can be selected in the Multiplayer menu, never hurts. You will get Multiplayer experience in a more controlled environment here but will not earn any Player or Weapon XP.

2. Be in Control – While in Practice or in-game, try a variety of different Sensitivity levels, adjust on-screen button locations and more by using the Settings. The level of customization through here is enough to satisfy nearly every player, so tweak those sliders as much as you desire.

3. Get to Cover! – Standing out in the open is frequently a dangerous move. Use the crouch button to crouch or go prone behind cover, which could act as a defense against incoming fire.

4. Variety is the Spice of Life – Even if you find that “one weapon” that seems to always work, it may be worth your while to try other weapons, especially on maps that are heavier on certain distances for engagements, such as buildings with opportunities for close-quarters action.

5. Squad Up! – Invite friends to group up and play Multiplayer together. Communicate with your team through the in-game chat or get together with your friends IRL for a Call of Duty: Mobile party.

6. Play Hard, Rest Hard – If that one last win isn’t coming, take a break for an hour or for the day. A set of fresh eyes can do a world of difference when trying to keep up with the fast-paced action of Call of Duty: Mobile.

#ZOMBIES - 

Zombies has been a staple of the Call of Duty franchise ever since 2008's World at War, and as expected, it returns in CoD: Mobile. However, it's a bit different than the Zombies you might be used to.

A Survival mode is still available for you to take on endless waves of the undead, but if you want to spruce up your zombie killing with a bit more variety, you'll also find a new Raid mode where you unlock new areas as you progress throughout the game. Work your way up to a final boss that needs to be defeated.

#BATTLE ROYAL - 

Mobile's take on BR pits 100 players against each other and is timed to last for about 15 minutes per match. You can play solo, team up with a friend for duos, or get a four-person squad together. You also get the option to play in first or third-person, each of which gives the gameplay a distinctly different feeling.

This is a completely different map that's separate from Blackout and Warzone, so don't expect to be a pro at this just because you've sunk hours into those other Call of Duty battle royale modes. 

Battle royale tips and tricks 

Battle royale feels like a totally different game in Call of Duty: Mobile. You don't get to start with your preferred loadout, you can't just respawn at will and you have a much larger play area - and it's a much more tactical game than the combat of multiplayer. Even the user interface is slightly different.

1. Switch to FPV: If you play a lot of multiplayer and are used to the first-person view, you can switch to that view with a tap, rather than the third-person view.

2. Choose where you drop carefully: The Isolated map is fairly well loaded with both vehicles and weapons, but if you drop into a built-up area you're more likely to run straight into contact, where the first person to get a weapon will hunt you all down. Go a little more remote and you're more likely to survive through the first 10 minutes. 

3. Work as a team - or not: Team work makes the dream work. Drop with your team, move with your team, fight with your team and you'll easily win. But if your teammates are determined to drop into contact and die straight away, you might want to go solo to survive. Battle royale is about survival - if you just want to kill, play multiplayer instead.

4. Revive your teammates: While most of multi-player CoD:M lets you respawn, in battle royale that's not automatic - your teammate has to do it. Collect dog tags from fallen comrades, scan them and they can parachute back into the game on a revival flight. They live to fight another day. If you're shot, don't exit the game - give your team time to bring you back in. 

5. Wait for dog tag collectors, and finish off the team: As above, once you've dropped someone, teammates will come to get the dog tags to revive them. Wait around a little and you could get finish off the rest of the team too. Of course, stay alert when collecting tags. 

6. Don't worry, you've got a wingsuit: As you're wearing a wingsuit, it doesn't matter if you jump out of a helicopter or off the top of a tower, as you'll survive. Use that to your benefit. You can wingsuit right on top of someone and pop 'em with your shotgun if you don't have the range to engage from the top of a mountain. It's great fun.

7. Keep your eye on the map and look for footprints: Knowing where the enemy is is half the fight in battle royale. Watch the map for footprints if you're a scout, keep your ears open and you'll know where they are before they know you're there. It's the route to victory. 

8. Hit the deck: Unlike multiplayer where hitting the deck means dying in the dirt, in battle royale you can hide and wait until your enemy is in range before engaging them. It really works.

9. Watch your ammo: There are loads of different weapons, but you can rinse through your ammo really quickly. Keep an eye on how much you have, make sure you're not picking up stuff you don't need and make sure your second weapon is useful.

10. Listen out for zombies: You'll be taking your time, waiting for your prey to walk into the crosshairs and you'll find three zombies walking up behind you. They will kill you, so fill them with lead before they get the chance. Just keep your ears open for them, because they always appear right when you don't want them.

1. MECHANIC -

The Mechanic’s first ability is, indeed, Engineer. This allows the Mechanic to see the locations of nearby vehicles, even from the other side of walls. However, this ability also works on other forms of equipment and even enemy traps. “The Mechanic could play a vital role in battle tactics and map navigation,” explains Activision; “being able to spot an idle helicopter, or a speeding ATV whizzing by, or even a Trophy System can help add information to the split-second decision-making process in Battle Royale.”

Toy Bomb

Summon zombies that only attack units near them.

Anti-Zombie

Reduces zombies' awareness distance to 15 meters.

2. DEFENDERS - 

The Defender stands out as being one of the clearest in its role. Defenders are, quite simply, defensive. Not only can they absorb more damage before dying, but they can deploy protective barriers to shield themselves and allies from incoming fire. The Defender’s first class ability is Reinforced. This ability reduces the amount of damage you take from all non-ballistic sources. While you’ll still take as much damage as normal from firearms, you will be more resistant to explosions and melee attacks of all kinds.

Transform Shield

Place a transformable and flashing shield.

Reinforced

Reduces damage from all sources except gunfire by 20%.

3. CLOWN -

The Clown is certainly an unusual class, and serves a utility role of sorts on the battlefield. If you find yourself often having trouble with zombies, then it might be worth giving this class a try. Not only will you need to fight zombies less, but you can even turn them against your rivals.

Toy Bomb

Summon zombies that only attack units near them.

Anti-Zombie

Reduces zombies' awareness distance to 15 meters.

4. MEDIC -

 The Master Healer ability means that you can heal yourself with items faster than normal. Of course, the Medical Station heals you just as well as allies too. If, playing solo, you find that you’re struggling to survive to the end of a round in Battle Royale, it might be worth trying the Medic out.

  Medical Station

Place a medical station that heals you and allies continuously.

Medic

Reduces time requried for healing and bringing back knocked down teammates by 25%.

5. NINJA -

The Ninja’s strengths lie in mobility, as the class can approach enemies from unexpected directions. Plus, they can move rapidly away from danger, be it the collapse or other players. As such, the class is ideally suited for solo play. However, it can also be useful in a squad when serving a flanking role. For example, a team’s Defender and other members could draw an enemy squad’s attention, allowing the Ninja to get around behind them for a surprise attack.

Grapple Hook

Shoot a grapple hook that pulls you to the target.

Dead Silence

Reduces sound when moving.

6.SCOUT -

Scout means sending some device or person of your force to gather information about the enemy's position, strength, or movements. In Call of Duty: Mobile the main objective of scout is to track the enemy's position through some kind of sensor.

Sensor Dart

Shoot a Sensor Dart that can see hostile positions in the radar map.

Tracker

Shows enemy footporints for several seconds.

#MODES -

#WEAPONS SELECTION 

It's possible to filter and sort weapons in only a few taps. The left-most drop-down menu – which shows as “Default” when first opening this menu – gives the option of sorting weapons by Weapon Level, “Get Time,” and Name.

The middle drop-down menu filters weapons by a specific rarity, while the right drop-down menu filters weapons by class.

 Here are all the weapon classes that are available :

 Assault – Usually tailored to excel in mid-range gunfights.

Sniper – The preferred weapons of marksmen; recommended for long-range shootouts.

LMG – High capacity heavy weapons with longer reloads than most weapons.

SMG – Smaller weapons that usually perform well at closer ranges.

Shotgun – A weapon class that deals high damage at the cost of a short effective range.

Below the weapon select menu are a few slots where you can pick out a Camo for that weapon and attach an Optic and up to three Attachments, which are earned by levelling up a weapon. These Attachments provide benefits to a weapon including an increased magazine size, reduced recoil, a longer effective range, and more.

After picking up a Primary, select a Secondary Weapon by tapping the menu right below the Primary Weapon menu. 

This is similar in design to picking out a Primary Weapon, and includes three weapon classes:

Pistol – A sidearm that is quick to swap to.

Melee – A non-ranged weapon that can knock down an enemy in one hit.

·Launcher – Shoots explosives to damage enemies, Scorestreaks or both.

Jumping over the Loadout selection widget to the right side of the screen, there are a few menus to select some additional pieces of your loadout. 

These include:

Soldier – Personalize an Operator with cool Skins, Headgear, Backpacks, Clothing, and Suits

Operator Skills – Powerful tools that charge over time in battle.

Lethal Equipment – Explosive devices and other equipment that can knock down enemies.

Tactical Equipment – Equipment that has unique effects in battle against enemies or equipment.

Perk Slots 1, 2, and 3 – Items that Modify an Operator in a variety of ways, such as increasing HP recovery rate or concealing you from enemy UAVs.

#NEWBIE GUIDE 

Tutorial

It introduces the “Simple” and “Advanced” controls mechanic which will greatly affect how you play the game. It also introduces how weapons work and also introduce scorestreaks to you.

Weapon & Perk Setup

Call of Duty Mobile is filled with a plethora of guns. Take your pick and build your own custom loadout with an assortment of attachments to improve the gun. You can upgrade your weapon’s levels with Weapon EXP Cards to speed up the process of getting new attachments. You can even swap to a more familiar character model like Captain Price. Explosives and tactical equipment assist you in flushing out enemies hiding in corners. Perks are also a big part of Call of Duty, they allow the player to create different playstyles to their builds. Operator Skills also provide players extra firepower to bring to the battlefield.

Setup Scorestreaks

Scorestreaks are also a staple in Call of Duty, these are weapons that can be unlocked to use when you obtain a certain number of kills, like dropping a predator missile to blast your opponents or calling in a helicopter to help gun down your foes.

Select Game Mode

There are multiple game modes in Call of Duty Mobile. Multiplayer is the classic game mode that pits players in 8-10 player maps that emphasize on close quarter combat. Battle Royale are for the fans who love joining huge servers with 100 players battling for 1st place in an enormous map.

Select Map Type

When you join in Multiplayer game mode, remember to change the game type to your liking. Frontline and TDM are the simplest game modes to get into where you kill enemies that cross your path, quick and fast paced. Domination and Search & Destroy are more advanced modes which involves bomb planting and capturing points.
