Call of Duty: Mobile is one of the most popular FPS games on mobile due to its innovations in the Battle Royale genre that shows the polish and hard work that the developers have put in it. The Battle Royale is explicitly their primary game mode that has attracted many players into playing Call of Duty: Mobile instead of many others of a similar pedigree which is best played on PC with a keyboard and mouse.
The prime reason behind this attraction is Call of Duty: Mobile has introduced a new function called Gunsmith. The Gunsmith is a new system that has encapsulated attachment setup coming in COD Mobile Season 9; this will replace the old COD Mobile 4 attachment build. You must be intrigued by hearing this. Let's satiate this intrigue.
Inside Call of Duty: Mobile Gunsmith, you will be able to set up Muzzle, Barrel, Stock, Optic, Laser Sight, Grip (Under barrel), among others, whole list listed below with over 50 new attachments. This guide is the detail about Gunsmith mode where you will learn more about most attachments in the Gunsmith system, Attachments Function and how to do tips, and the pros and cons of each of the attachments. Finally, we will include a couple of examples for you to peruse.
Do remember, you can have, per setup, five attachments of the class in each loadout so that you will need to setup wisely. Each attachment has its pros and cons, and some even have more than one pros or cons of these attachments. Equipping attachments for your weapons will also impact the overall gun stats and the look of your weapon.
The Gunsmith brings weapon customization to a different level in COD Mobile, which means we can create an iconic AAC Honey Badger and other loadouts from the previous COD franchise.
Let's begin this guide by listing each of the attachment types and their options you can switch while you should also read our in-depth guide on all things COD: Mobile from our selection of Guides on every subject in the game.
This section is dedicated to each type of attachment from the list that you can equip in the five slots designated to you.
Attaching different types of Muzzles impact the Range, accuracy, recoil, etc., of your weapon, and depending on your need, you can swap one with the other and save loadouts.

During the weapon customization in the Gunsmith mode, you will see new functions in your attachment such as Lateral recoil stability, ADS bullet spread accuracy, Flinch Stability, and more.
Vertical recoil control functions that your weapon's recoil is kicking upward when you fire your gun. To reduce Vertical recoil, you need a muzzle, under-barrel, or rear grip attachment.
Lateral recoil or horizontal control is a function that makes your weapon's recoil kick from side to side when you fire. To increase this Stability, you need Muzzle or Stock attachments.
ADS Bullet Spread accuracy helps you be accurate and tight with your bullet spread and bounce when shooting with Optic. To increase this accuracy, you need attachments like Rear Grip, Barrel, and more!
Hip Fire accuracy helps in improving your bullet spread, especially when you are shooting without scoping. To increase this accuracy, you need to have Laser or Under barrel attachments.
Flinch Stability is the aim punch you receive when getting shot at, and your gun's aim bounces. To increase this Stability, you need to have a Stock attachment.
ADS Speed or the entire word Aim Down Sight is how fast you can scope in to shoot better. To increase this Speed and Function, you need Stock, Barrel, or Rear grip attachments.
ADS Movement Speed is how quick you can be when scoping in the period. To increase ADS Movement Speed, you need Stock attachment.
Sprint-to-Fire Speed is the Speed of being able to shoot when running. To increase Sprint-to-Fire Speed, you need a Laser Sight or Rear Grip attachment.
For a detailed guide on best loadouts, read our Extensive Weapons Loadouts Guide. There you can best build for each of the guns along with different loadout setups to improve your gun’s performance in COD Mobile in different modes and scenarios. Let’s see two examples within that guide as to how modifications can enhance your gameplay or change the role of the gun.
QQ9 Aggressive Load-out – These QQ9 attachments build help you win more close-range gunfights. With this build, you get in the face of your enemy because it enables you to control your firing accuracy due to Light Compensator, which reduces your recoil. At the same time, Under Barrel choice also increase accuracy, letting you focus on the target.

Along with attachments, perks like Lightweight increases your sprinting Speed, making it quicker to get close to the enemy to deal damage, while Dead Silence increases your explosive damage.
QQ9 Stealth Load-out – These QQ9 attachments build to eliminate the gun sound when firing, fast ADS speed, and good recoil from close to mid-range, making it less intimidating than the aggressive loadout but safer gameplay that may surprise the opponent

Lightweight is the same as the aggressive loadout, but Ghost is added here to conceal you from the enemy’s UAV, preferring the stealthy style.
In Conclusion, Gunsmith is a system that you can set up your gun attachments to improve its performance in COD Mobile, more than that, you can also set up several loadouts to test out and find the best one that you should use.
