Call of Duty Mobile cheats (opens in new tab) are obviously bad and not to be encouraged in any way. However, if you’re wondering what they are, and whether you’ve been on the wrong end of a less than honest player’s attacks, then this we clear things up.

If yo’re wondering how to play Call of Duty mobile zombies then it’s not great news. The mode was removed in March and while a potential return was hinted at, there’s no news yet. However, if it does come back it’ll be on the classic Nacht Der Untoten map and if we hear anything this is were you’ll find out. 

Call of Duty Mobile settings

As soon as you jump into Call of Duty Mobile for the first time, make sure you head to the settings menu and customise it to how you like to play. Call of Duty Mobile is striving to be the ultimate first person shooter experience on handheld devices, so there’s plenty to delve into.

One example given by Activision is how there’s 17 – yes, seventeen – sliders to adjust your aiming sensitivity. There’s options to control how your character holds each weapon by default – such as hip-fire for shotguns and aiming down the sights for assault rifles – and you can also make it automatically fire whenever you’re aiming at an enemy. Spend some time curating your experience so you’re completely ready when you jump into a match.

Call of Duty Mobile maps

Call of Duty Mobile has seven classic maps from the history of the franchise:

  • Crash – Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  • Crossfire – Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  • Killhouse – Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  • Firing Range – Call of Duty: Black Ops
  • Hijacked – Call of Duty: Black Ops
  • Nuketown – Call of Duty: Black Ops
  • Standoff – Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
  • Rust – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Meltdown – Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
  • Scrapyard – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Raid – Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

As we expected, none of the Call of Duty Mobile maps are particularly large but each one is a fan favourite – except Killhouse, but maybe it’s much better on Call of Duty Mobile?

There’s five game modes in Call of Duty Mobile at launch, not including battle royale which we’ve got a separate Call of Duty Mobile battle royale (opens in new tab) guide for. Four of them are immensely popular modes from previous Call of Duty games, while one hasn’t been seen before and sounds… very similar to Team Deathmatch. Nevertheless, here are all five Call of Duty Mobile modes:

Core

  • Frontline – After spawning at a team base, kill players on the opposing team
  • Team Deathmatch: Defeat players on the opposing team.
  • Hardpoint –  Capture the hill which rotates location periodically to earn points for your team.
  • Search and Destroy – Destroy the enemy’s objective or protect your own.
  • Domination: Capture and hold flags across the map to earn points for your team.
  • Practice VS AI – fight bots and even earn XP (at a 90% reduction)

  • Capture The Flag – A CTF mode where you try to steal the enemies gold while protecting your own.
  • Rust – Classic modes and gameplay on the Rust map.
  • 2v2 Showdown – eliminate enemies and capture the objective against a timer.
  • One Shot One Kill – Single hit kills but limited ammo.

Call of Duty Mobile loadouts

Call of Duty Mobile loadouts work very similarly to the main games in the franchise, with a primary and secondary weapon choice available from the categories everyone’s familiar with. Each class of weapons has “dozens of variants within each type”, so there’s plenty to choose from. Lets’ take a look at the key options:

You can pick from an one explosive or tactical grenade with Frag, sticky and trip mine options on the lethal side. While flashbang, smoke, concussion, EMP and Cryo Bomb are on the non-lethal, along with Trophy System – an autonomous defense system that destroys in coming enemy explosives.
