New Game Mode – Gunfight Sniper:

 

For all the Sniper fans out there, this game mode is an absolute treat. The entire game mode locks players on Snipers with choices varying between the new SKS, NA-45, and the Kilo Bolt Action. Your main goal is to either capture particular objectives or gain points by killing the enemy team. Currently, the game mode is only available on a few maps due to its close-quartered nature. Here are the maps you can currently play Gunfight Sniper on:

 

• Modernized Shipment
• Pine
• King
• Gulag
• Cage
• Reclaim

 

New Game Mode – Tank Battle:

 

Collect five components to assemble your tank. You can also start assembling tanks by blueprints in the airdrop. The more soldiers you have, the better opportunity to fight in your tanks:

 

• Parts of the tank: A tank chassis, components for tank's engine, components for tank's armor, components for tank's primary weapon, components for tank's secondary weapon.
• Anti-Tank weapon: Delay Bomb, Proximity Mine, Anti-Tank Sticky Grenade, Anti-Tank Sniper, Anti-Tank War Machine.
• Tank repair tools: Welding Gun.

• Tank blueprints: Three types.

 

New Maps – Modernized Shipment & Shoot House:

 

 

Shoot House is the newest map available in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 2. Currently, you can play the map in TDM, Domination, Hard Point, Kill Confirmed, and Free For All. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is inspired by Call of Duty and is known for its 3 points small route design, which allows for extreme close combat.

 

While the map offers some sort of verticality, you can expect most of the action to be happening around in the alleyways surrounding the map's entirety. As such, most players will feel more comfortable playing the map with an SMG or a Shot Gun as most engagements will be close-ranged. However, sniping is still a possibility as there are plenty of rooftops that provide good vantage points. But many flanking routes exist within the map that is mainly meant to counteract snipers' power.

 

Modern Shipments:

 

Shipment is an iconic map based on Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 1. The map is extremely close-quartered and is renowned for its heavy close-quartered combat. With sprawling containers present everywhere, there are not a lot of places for you to hide. Generally, the map is played only with Shotguns with quicks scoping Snipers acting as a norm. Shipment is the smallest map in the game and can be played in TDM, Domination, Hard Point, and Kill Confirmed.

 

The map has been updated to its ‘modernized’ version in the recent update. It is merely a cosmetic change with a few bugs fixed within the map. The map now looks much better in terms of aesthetics and has better lighting around corners, making it easier for you to spot hidden enemies. With the new map's revamped, you can expect it to be added to the Ranked playlist very soon due to its unique nature.

 

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 2 – Useful LDPlayer Features:

 

 

With the introduction of the new Ranked Season, Call of Duty: Mobile has seen a huge rise in players. As such, to rank up, you will need all the competitive edge you can get. Thankfully, by playing COD Mobile on an emulator like LDPlayer, there are a few inherent features you can take advantage of to take your gameplay to the next level.

 

For example, LDPlayer supports complete mouse and keyboard integration alongside the ability to completely remap your keys. This feature lets you play the game like you would play any other FPS title on your PC, letting you aim and move around with utmost precision.

 

New Guns – The AS VAL and the SP-R 208:

 

 

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 2 will have two new guns for you to play around with. Both of these will be free and will be unlocked exclusively through this Season's Battle Pass. The AS VAL is a popular AR in FPS titles known for its extremely great damage and fire rate.

 

However, the gun's bullet speed is quite slow, with the recoil being quite high as well. Unlike other ARs, the penetration power of the gun is quite low. The gun does not fare well at longer ranges due to its aforementioned slow bullet speed, which indicates a worse trajectory. You should also take a look at some Call of Duty: Mobile Tips and Tricks to help cement your lead! LDPlayer has also supported the feature of walking slowly in Standoff 2, Call of Duty®: Mobile, PUBG MOBILE and other shooter games. Check the video below to get how it shows and helps your gameplay!

 

The SP-R 208:

 

The SPR-208 is another new weapon that will be added in the Call of Duty: Mobile. It is a sniper rifle that provides you with greater mobility than other Sniper Rifles like the Kilo Bolt. It deals a lower amount of damage compared to other Sniper Rifles currently being played in the meta.

 

With faster ADS speed and Gunsmith Loadouts, that can help take its mobility to the next level. The SPR-208 Sniper rifle is exceptional at quick scoping and for dealing with targets that the average Sniper rifle can’t take on due to their generally slow ADS speed.

 

However, most Sniper leg shots are not one-hit kills, which can be quite infuriating at longer ranges. Therefore, aiming at the head is your best bet when playing the SP-R 208.
