The multiplayer mode will also comprise of primary and secondary weapons, lethal and tactical equipment, a soldier type, an operator skill, and three perks.
The Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty: Mobile, will be similar to that of Black Ops 4, where players can play either Solo, Duo, or Quads. The map terrain will consist of land, sea, and air, which will be traversable by ATVs, helicopters, and tactical rafts. Players can choose to play in either first-person or third-person mode.

Call of Duty: Mobile will be available on iOS and Android devices in countries where Google Play and App Store are supported, except for mainland China, Vietnam, and Belgium.
