The Series 5 of Call of Duty (COD) Mobile is in full flow, and there are 100 million active players who play the game daily. In simple words, the game has never been more competitive.
I have been playing COD Mobile since 2021, and by playing, I mean I take the game very seriously. It’s been 6th ranked season when I managed to achieve Legendary rank in multiplayer. The game has included me in the top 0.01% players with 12000+ points this season.
Having said that, it was never like this from the get-go. I struggled to play well in the game at first. My aim was fine, but my opponents had better trick up their sleeves. What were those better tricks? Their loadouts were tailored to each game mode, and that’s exactly why they won games.
That’s when I improved my loadout and started winning the games.
What exactly did I change?
Let me walk you through that in detail.
What is a Loadout in COD Mobile?
To put it in simple words, it’s a selection of weapons, soldiers, perks, and operator skills that help you win a game. In rather complicated words, it is a collection of weapons, secondary weapons, perks, and operator skills.
Now, should they be different for each game state? Yes, they should be, and that’s why I am writing this for you. What type of loadouts should be used with different game modes? Let me walk you through them in detail.
For Domination, Hardpoint, and Control
These three modes are arguably the most demanding in the entire game – you move around, and you will find two enemies pouring out bullets at you. So, it is only natural that you’ll need more mobility in this game mode.
What are the guns that you should use in these modes?
Well, I have found that most of the SMGs are a beast when it comes to mobility. They have one of the highest fire rates among all the weapons, and they offer great mobility, so you can quickly react to enemies coming in your way.
Now, I recommend pairing these weapons with a Wildcard perk, which is Killstreak support. Now, let me tell you, there is a high chance that your teammates will die like moths in this mode, and the only way to turn around the game will be with Killstreaks. What the Wildcard perk will do is support you with faster Killstreaks, and when it is paired with an optional killstreak, you will see another Killstreak slot.
Now, I recommend pairing that up with EMP systems – they literally destroy their killstreaks and turn the game around while you load up your own killstreaks.
Having said that, all of this would be in vain if you keep on seeing the ‘Server disconnected’ message because of a struggling WiFi. So, do tweak your loadout, but couple it up with one of the best internet providers for gaming for consistency and low latency.
For Search & Destroy
Search & Destroy, or commonly known as S&D, is the most played mode of COD Mobile, and rightly so – it is super interesting.
But how do you ace this mode?
To do that, the first thing you need is a sniper because it can turn the game around with just one shot. But a sniper can’t be used in short range unless you are good at quick scoping. So, I recommend a Wildcard perk named Overkill, which will let you have two primary weapons at the same time. Now, pair that sniper up with a good short-range AR or SMG. Type 25 and USS 9 are both good choices for that.
As for the scorestreaks, you will never go wrong with UAV, a shock RC, and a hunter-killer drone. So, pair that up and make sure to be the second one to rush because that’s what always gets you killed in S&D.
For Frontline
The good ol’ Frontline is great for testing new weapons and having fun in the game in a balanced way. I generally have a good three-shot AR like an AK-47 or an Oden to get things done, or an Overkill Wildcard perk to keep a sniper and an SMG.
As for the Killstreaks, you will never go wrong with UAV, VTOL, or even Advanced UAV. You can choose anything you like using and it will be good to go.
For Team Death Match
Last but definitely not least, TDM is another fine mode to test your weapons or just have casual fun in Multiplayer. The same loadout you use for Frontline can be used in Team Death Match.
Just make sure to avoid using the Overkill Wildcard perk because this will only decrease your mobility, which is much needed in TDM because you will never know when the base is changed, and you will find an enemy executing you with his knife.
So, use a jack of all trades gun like USS-9 and rely on either Scorestreaks or Operator Skills to grab those extra kills in the game.
Now, let me conclude this topic by giving you another pro tip: if you love using a sniper, use the Tundra, give it some time, and thank me later. This is the best sniper of the game, even after it has been nerfed.
