Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to improve on Call of Duty Mobile, I think you may be interested in learning more about this possibility.

Well, Call of Duty Mobile, originally released at the end of 2019 on the Android Play Store and on the iPhone and iPad App Store, is a free title that includes various modes.

In fact, contrary to what one might think, COD Mobile is not a “miniature” COD Warzone. In other words, this is not simply a classic Battle Royale, as it is also possible to play classic modes and “inspired” by popular chapters of the series (who said Zombie?).

Obviously, Call of Duty Mobile is a title in constant evolution, so the available modes may be different depending on the period in which you have decided to approach the game. In any case, Activision’s title provides the user with a certain choice, consequently offering a good variety in terms of gameplay.

In addition to this, as I explained in my guide on the best Battle Royale, the game mode that pits 100 players against them on the same map often has some differences compared to what is seen in more classic Battle Royale titles.

For example, in certain periods it was possible to challenge a boss represented by a large butcher directly within a game (therefore with the risk of other players intervening) . In short, COD Mobile offers a different experience than the other titles in the Call of Duty series.

This does not mean, however, that if you are a longtime fan you will not find bread for your teeth. In fact, between classic modes such as 5v5 battles and characters and maps taken from “traditional” chapters, there is also a sort of “nostalgia factor” that will surely catch your attention.

But now let’s get to the point and let’s study the game mechanics that will allow you to improve within the title. Good luck!

How to improve on Call of Duty Mobile

After explaining the general operation of Call of Duty Mobile, I would say that it is time to take action and point out some tricks that could be useful to improve your performance in the Activision title.

Select the correct mode to shoot

One of the main mechanics why COD Mobile stands out from the “traditional” chapters of the Activision series is clearly the input method.

In fact, clearly the touch controls can represent a “stumbling block” for a certain type of player. For this reason, the developers decided to implement a potential help – the automatic fire mode.

Put simply, by choosing to use the latter, your character will fire by itself when you manage to target an enemy. This is a popular feature among mobile video games of this type. However, this firing mode isn’t actually very well regarded by more skilled players.

In fact, the automatic fire mode can certainly be useful if you are a beginner or if you want a more “casual” gameplay, but if you intend to aim properly, do not waste shots and really be able to put your skills on the field, you should aim to use the manual focus mode.

The latter adds a button to shoot, giving you the possibility to freely choose when to use the shots. Among other things, the manual mode is the one preferred by users who have a gaming smartphone with back triggers. In fact, this type of device allows you to associate triggers with virtual keys to aim and shoot.

There are, among other things, various types of triggers. For example, gaming smartphones like Black Shark 4 have physical triggers or buttons that “protrude” from the body and guarantee feedback similar to that of controllers. Devices like RedMagic 5S, on the other hand, have keys that can be defined as “soft-touch” , so they return a different response. Clearly, the models mentioned are only examples, but there are also other models on the market (even more famous ones).

For the rest, I remind you that COD Mobile officially supports the PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 controller and the official Xbox One pad. For more details about this possibility, which you could also consider to improve your aim, you can refer to the official Activision portal (in English).

In short, do not underestimate the available input methods and the setting related to the fire mode. About the latter, to change it, just start the game, press on the gear icon, present at the top right, select the COMMANDS tab, press on the MG mode item and choose between Simple mode and Advanced mode. Among other things, I suggest you also press the CUSTOM CONFIGURATION button, in order to manage advanced options such as opacity.

For the rest, I also recommend that you press on the BR Mode tab. In fact, from here you can also select the aiming mode, choosing between Simple and Advanced (with viewfinder). In short, the possibilities in terms of choice are certainly not lacking!

Look for the best settings

As with any self-respecting shooter, even for Call of Duty Mobile it is good to take a look at the options offered by the game.

In fact, in addition to the options relating to graphic detailsFPS and effects (accessible from the AUDIO AND GRAPHICS tab ), which can always be useful for obtaining a more “fluid” gaming experience, there are also various settings that can potentially allow you to improve your performance.

In fact, I advise you to go to the game options and “explore” all the tabs, from BASIC to BR SETTINGS. Here you will find myriad advanced settings, such as the ability to set aim assist. You can even manage the control scheme for driving vehicles in Battle Royale mode.

Obviously, it is difficult for me to provide you with detailed information about the many options available, but the advice can only be to deepen them and look for what best suits your style of play.

I know: you might consider this operation a bit “boring”, but if you want to improve within Call of Duty Mobile you might certainly be interested in exploring this possibility.

Take the right loot in Battle Royale

The Battle Royale mode of Call of Duty Mobile is clearly one of the most popular, also given the success obtained by this kind of title.

In this context, you need to know that in games that have up to 100 players it is of fundamental importance to collect the right loot. If you’ve played any other Battle Royale title before you already know why I say this: the weapons and items here are on the ground (or, for example, in chests).

In any case, in Call of Duty Mobile this advice is less trivial than it seems. In fact, unlike other titles of the genre, in this case, it is possible to obtain rare loot, which could be very useful during the game, in “alternative ways”.

For example, in some periods it was possible to defeat “bosses” to get drops, for example weapons, which are potentially very interesting. The advice is therefore to explore the map well and try to understand what methods are currently available to obtain the best possible loot.

Choose and upgrade the right weapons

How do you say? Are you a bit more “classic” player and prefer to manage your equipment before the game rather than collect it on the ground during a Battle Royale? Don’t worry: there is also this possibility.

In fact, you just need to open the game, tap on the MULTIPLAYER box on the right and press on the EQUIPMENT item, which peeks out at the bottom. By doing so, you will access the screen where you can choose everything related to your character.

As for weapons, I recommend that you take a look at the possibilities offered by the game in terms of upgrading. In fact, many players, caught by the “frenzy” of COD Mobile gameplay, underestimate this possibility, continuing to use their favorite weapons without wisely upgrading them through the XP cards obtained simply by playing.

I invite you, therefore, to try to select a weapon, press the UPGRADE button and take a look at the PE cards at your disposal, present on the right. If you have never fully explored this possibility, there is a good chance that you have a good number of these elements available.

You just have to press the + button first and then the US one, in order to take advantage of the PE cards to upgrade your weapon and get accessories that could come in handy in battle. You can also use the SELECT ALL button if you want to try to max your weapon (in case you have a lot of XP cards).

For the rest, I remind you that, to equip the accessories obtained in this way, just select the weapon and press the ARMAIOLO button. By doing so, you can choose, for example, MuzzleBarrelOpticsStockSpecialtyLaserUnder-barrelAmmunition and Rear grip. The latter will change the stats of your weapon: potentially, you can improve it a lot this way.

I just skimmed the surface of the changes the game allows you to make from these screens. Among other things, it is possible to manage your equipment, for example, also in relation to the Battle Royale mode. In short, I suggest you take a look and deepen these menus that I have indicated to you as you should, as they could be very useful.

Pay attention to the map in the Battle Royale

The Battle Royale mode often “hurries” to the player. In fact, one of the “basic mechanics” of the genre is that relating to the area that “closes”.

Players must in fact keep moving to re-enter the “safe zone”, otherwise they will lose in no time at all. In this context, you must know how to move wisely. Of course, it is always good to take a look at what is happening to the map, so as not to have any nasty surprises, but you must also be careful not to get “blocked” by this mechanic.

In fact, there are not a few who simply try to run as much as possible to get back into the “safe zone”, forgetting, however, to pick up the right loot and to control the positions of enemies.

This approach typically results in a ranged hit that defeats the player, as the user didn’t pay much attention to enemies in the area, or in an uneven final stage. In fact, without having the right loot, it will be difficult to defeat the players who have arrived at the end of the game, who by the way are generally very skilled.

In short, you should try to find a balance with this game mechanic. For example, an interesting method used by some players is to try to stay inside the “safe” area always “on the edge”.

Let me explain: there are users who try to explore the areas as much as possible, collecting the right loot, then taking care to enter the “safe” area only in the last period of time available. This way, it is potentially possible to avoid most enemies while potentially obtaining great weapons and items.

Clearly, you need to know the pace of COD Mobile well and be skilled in implementing this style of play, but I can assure you that, once you master this method, the rewards will probably not be long in coming.

Use the best scorestreaks and Operator skills

If you’re a longtime fan of the Call of Duty series and shooters in general, you’re sure to be familiar with the scorestreak system. Put simply, by getting a certain number of points without ever losing, it is possible to obtain particularly powerful “rewards”.

Well, this mechanism is also available in some modes of COD Mobile and potentially allows to obtain a not insignificant competitive advantage. Just to give you a concrete example, one of my favorite scorestreaks is the one related to the guided Predator missile (which can potentially take out multiple enemies at the same time).

For the rest, to explain how the scorestreak system on COD Mobile works in a “classic” mode, you need to know that it is potentially possible to obtain, for example, a UAV after 400 points obtained, a Hunter Drone (which looks for an enemy and can potentially take it out) after 500 points and a Predator missile after 700 points. These are just examples of available “rewards”.

As for the Operator skill, which is unlocked once the bar at the top right is loaded with the passage of time, one of my favorites is the Purifier flamethrower (able to incinerate in let alone the opponents). In short, these are certainly interesting possibilities, to which at least take a look.

In any case, to modify the scorestreaks, just press the MULTIPLAYER button, present in the main COD Mobile screen and select the SERIES OF POINTS option, present at the bottom left, then choosing the available “rewards” from here (paying attention to those you have already unlocked and the number of points required to get them).

As for the Operator skill, on the other hand, just move to the EQUIPMENT tab and tap the box on the right in the center. From here you can take a look at the available skills and choose the one that suits you best.

In short, scorestreaks and Operator skills can be particularly useful for improving within COD Mobile, also considering the fact that players often underestimate these possibilities, as they consider the deepening of the various customization menus to be “boring”.

Learn from professional players

Another method to improve your performance on Call of Duty Mobile is certainly to take a look at the techniques implemented by the pro players of the Activision title.

In fact, a good number of good players are used to making content related to this popular game on the mainstreaming portals. I am referring mainly to Twitch and YouTube, very popular platforms among gamers.

As for the first, which I remember is owned by Amazon, the advice is to search for content through the page dedicated to Call of Duty Mobile. In fact, the latter generally teems with interesting streams and content, from which you could potentially learn something. Among other things, I remind you that through this platform you can also interact with the chat, perhaps finding some other enthusiast available to give you advice.

As for YouTube, the platform owned by Google offers myriads of videos that allow you to learn techniques to improve within the Activision title. My advice is to do research like “improve on call of duty mobile” or “how to improve in call of duty mobile” . You will find lots of content that might be right for you.

More tips to improve on COD Mobile

How do you say? Would you like more tips to improve your game performance on COD Mobile? No problem, I’ll give you some quick tips right away (you can find them below).

  • Play with your friends: It may seem like a trivial piece of advice, but carrying on the game experience together with someone you know can stimulate you to improve further, perhaps even just to demonstrate your skills to others. Furthermore, the fun will certainly be higher.
  • Don’t forget to redeem the rewards: COD Mobile offers many free rewards to the player. The latter can potentially allow you to unlock various interesting elements, which could help you improve when combined with your choice of equipment.
  • Try all modes: COD Mobile users often pause to play their favorite mode, such as Battle Royale. This approach may not be exactly the best for learning how to play properly, as trying other modes can allow you to test your skills by stepping out of your “comfort zone”.
  • Choose the right class: In modes like Battle Royale, at the start of the game you can choose which class you belong to (for example, Medic). This choice will affect the “tools” at your disposal, so consider carefully which class suits your style of play best.

In short, now you know a little everything there is to know about the precautions to take into account to improve on COD Mobile. You just have to try to put them into action within the Activision game. What you have read, of course, is only a “basic” guide to the Activision title, then it will be up to you to deepen. I wish you a big good luck for your next games!
