The mobile version of Call of Duty has recently been available on iOS and Android devices. This free FPS developed by Tencent on behalf of Activision incorporates much of the content of Modern Warfare and Black Ops including MAPS, weapons, game modes and playable characters. On the program, classic multiplayer, a Battle Royale mode and even an experience with zombies which will arrive a little later.
If you are taking your first steps in the Call of Duty universe with this mobile version or if you are already a seasoned veteran, you will in any case have two or three little things to learn about this game in order to dominate other players during parts that are very dynamic and whose handling is quite different from the console and PC versions. We therefore suggest that you find in this guide several tips and tricks that will be useful to you at one time or another in this CoD Mobile.
Tip 1 – Optimize your settings and train against the AI:
The first thing all players should do in the mobile version of Call of Duty is to go through the settings box to configure the controls. You should know that CoD Mobile does not support gamepads natively, so you will have no choice but to go through the touch controls of your smartphone or your gaming tablet. The application offers you the possibility of play in "simple mode" or in "advanced mode" both offering different settings. Make sure to choose the one that suits you best by adapting the options so that you can quickly find your bearings in the game.
To find out which settings work best for you, we recommend selecting the "Frontline" game mode and choosing "Training vs. AI" to get used to the controls. Moreover, the settings do not stop there since the options will also allow you to modify the sensitivity of your character's rotation, the sensitivity of the camera or of the shot when you raise your weapon in front of an enemy. There are enough settings in the game options for you to find optimal settings that will make you better than your opposite opponents who will have jumped into the game without even thinking about making control changes for better handling.
Tip 2 – Change your point streak and equipment as soon as possible:
It's a basic reflex in Call of Duty games on consoles and PC, but something that can quickly be forgotten in the mobile version due to an overflow of menus and windows at the home of the game. However, you have the possibility of modifying your series of points at any time, you know the support equipment that you obtain in part by making enough kills. You will have more and more choices as you progress in the game. You only need to gain levels to unlock new series of points. Similarly, take a spin through your equipment to fill each of the available slots of your current class.
Grenade, Tactical Gear, Perks, Weapon Attachments and most importantly your Agent Talent which is not active until you add it. This talent will allow you to bring an additional weapon on the field such as the purifier, a flamethrower that spits flames at close range or the scythe, a minigun held in the hands that will not leave any chance to your opponents who cross its path. .
Tip 3 – Bots or real players, here is the truth:
During your first games, you will feel like you are playing against brain dead players. And for good reason, they don't move, don't have equipment, don't respond to your presence or your shots... Your first games will certainly be very nice and will allow you to make so many kills that you might even be able to to drop a nuclear bomb with any luck.
The truth is that like the mobile version of PUBG, the developers purposely make you play against bots (players managed by AI) during your first games. You play against "fake players" during your first 7 levels, after you pass this level you will start playing against real players and you will see that you will feel the difference! From 7 to 10 you'll have a mix of players and bots while after level 10 you'll only play against real people.
Tip 4 – Don't forget to claim your season bonuses, it doesn't happen by itself:
As you play games in multiplayer or Batlle Royale mode, you complete daily challenges that earn you experience for the battle pass. There are two versions of the battle pass, a free version and a premium pass. Know that the free pass gives you the right to rewards so take advantage of it. From the game menus before starting a game click on the battle pass and take a look at the challenges tab.
Here, you will need to click on the "recover" button each time you complete a challenge to claim your experience points. This task is not automatic in the game, so think about it so as not to waste your season experience points unnecessarily and miss out on game rewards.
Tip 5 – You can do slides!
So give it a try, if you sprint and crouch at the same time, you'll have the chance to do a slide. Useful for advancing faster or surprising your opponents by sliding and shooting all at the same time. If at first you will have a little trouble managing with the touch, by force you will be able to use all the buttons on the screen and all your fingers effectively to dominate. Don't just play with your thumbs!
Tip 6 – Swap interface controls:
In the previous tip, we advise you to use all your fingers to play and not just your thumbs. There is an option that may allow you to better position your fingers on the screen. Open the game settings and take a look at the controls tab. You will see a yellow window at the bottom of the screen where it says "custom layout". Thanks to this option, you will be able to relocate the entire interface of the game. Relocate the button for crouching, the one for shooting, the grenade, etc. for better handling!
Tip 7 – Activate the gyroscope, this is the key to success:
Have you ever played Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo console? In this game you use the controls of your gamepad and take advantage of the gyroscope at the same time to aim. This is an effective way to be more precise during a firefight. It's the same in Call of Duty Mobile. Activate the gyroscope functionality in the game settings as soon as possible and increase the sensitivity to 120. You can activate it in the "basic" tab by scrolling the list of options to the bottom.
You will be able to use touch and move your smartphone accordingly to adjust your shots more easily, have a better overview of the terrain and move better. If you get used to playing with this feature active, you should definitely become better than those who play without it!
