Top 10 best COD Mobile facts
1. First epic camo in the game

It is a cool-looking camo available in the Premium battle pass of COD Mobile Season 1. Many old players got this gun camo by buying the Season 1 battle pass. As of today, apart from AK47, DLQ33 sniper rifle also
2. Overkill perk was available in the test servers but it was never released
A perk named overkill was almost set to come to the game. The specialty of this perk was, it would allow the player to use a primary weapon in their secondary weapon slot, instead of a pistol or melee weapon.
Later, game developers realized that if they add this perk, it would break the game by giving players an extra advantage. Hence, they postponed the process and the overkill perk never came to Call of Duty Mobile.
3. The Teddy bears spread across the map has a deep secret behind them
Apart from the Sanitarium location in COD Mobile, where there are lots of teddy bears spread, the whole Isolated map has many brown teddy bears lying around. In Sanitarium, bursting certain numbers of teddy bears will open a secret room in Sanitarium. But apart from the gaming missions that it brings, there is a deep secret behind why are these teddy bears present in the game.
According to some theories, one of the developers had a daughter, but unfortunately, she left the world at a very young age. Teddy bears were one of her favorite toys of her. So, in order to pay tribute to her, the developers added teddy bears across the map, especially in the sanitarium.

And moving forward, after one year, it generated a total of 480 million US dollars as revenue. It has also amassed the milestone of 100 million downloads in just one month after the release, which was also record-breaking during that time.

7. Death Machine was originally named Scythe in beta, but got changed later
Death machine is Call of Duty Mobile’s one of the most ferocious operator skills. The death machine is a hand-held minigun that slowly increases accuracy over time. In the early days, the death machine was known as ‘ Scythe’. Due to some unknown reasons developers changed the name of the operator skill and made it ‘Death machine’.
8. No horizontal recoil option was present for weapon during early seasons
After the initial release, there was no horizontal recoil present in any of the guns that we see now in the game. There was a little vertical recoil and that’s it. The game was getting too easy for the players because of this fact. Later, with some patch updates, Activision added the horizontal recoil in the guns. They also introduced some attachments in the Gunsmith which will be useful to stabilize the gun.
