Although older Call of Duty games didn’t have an operator system, recent ones have a feature where almost every operator has a different skill.

CoD: Mobile also has this feature, and players who have played games like Black Ops 3 might even recognize some of the operators in it. However, those unfamiliar with operators and their skills might be confused as to which one they should pick in multiplayer matches.

Well, we’re here to go through the seven best operators by skills, along with what those said skills do, so you could have an easier time the next time you’re asked to pick an operator to play as.

CoD: Mobile Operator Skills – 7: Shadow Blade

Now, we know the shadow blade is a rather unconventional operator skill to put in a list like this, but the potential of this close-range skill in small maps such as Nuketown is criminally overlooked.

As soon as you activate this skill, the camera shifts to a third-person P.O.V. to ensure you’re able to see the execution of your enemy. By tapping or clicking on the action button (depending on what you’re using to play) your character will swing the sword and instantly kill the enemy in one shot.

What’s even cooler is that you can detect enemies when this skill is activated, even if they’re hidden by smoke. However, the fact that you have to get close to an enemy to use this skill is the biggest reason it isn’t rated better on this list.

CoD: Mobile Operator Skills – 6: Ballistic Shield

The ballistic shield used to be a usable weapon in previous console CoD games, but has since then been changed to be an operator skill. As is to be expected, it only covers the front and sides of the character, with the back being fully exposed.

CoD: Mobile Operator Skills, Ballistic Shield provides defense and offense

However, it also comes with a built-in machine pistol and has extremely fast mobility, making it one of the deadliest skills when put in the hands of a player who prefers to keep it up close and personal.

CoD: Mobile Operator Skills – 5: Kinetic Armor

If you’re as confident as can be in your shooting abilities and don’t believe you need any operator skills to be able to get a good amount of kills, then the kinetic armor is the best operator skill for you because it is purely situational.

When you’re getting shot at and are at low health, all you have to do is activate this skill to make it so bullets get deflected from your body along with you getting 150 health. If this sounds too good to be true then, well, it is. You see, this armor only deflects bullets directed toward your body. Melee attacks, headshots, and explosive rounds along with several operator skills (such as the H.I.V.E and purifier) will still damage you.

Operator Skills – 4: Bull Charge

Up next is Bull Charge, which is easily the fastest operator skill in terms of mobility. This skill is unique in the sense that it can be used as both a defensive as well as offensive skill depending on the player and the situation it is used in.

Basically, when you activate the ability, your character charges like a well, like a bull, all the while holding a shield that protects your character’s upper body from gunshots. We say upper body specifically because it’s still possible to shoot you near your legs.

Operator Skills – 3: Purifier

The purifier is the most straightforward yet effective operator skill out there. When the skill is activated, you get a flamethrower that can fire flames within a range of 12 meters, burning anything it touches.

CoD: Mobile Operator Skills, the Purifier is a scourging flamethrower that deals huge damage

Players who like to engage in close-quarters combat can use this ability to instantly reduce the health of multiple enemies at once. You just need to be a little careful when you use it, as if the fire touches you then you might be the one dying.

Operator Skills – 2: H.I.V.E

The H.I.V.E is a mixed bag, as you either love it or you hate it. Basically how it works is that you fire mines that stick on surfaces, similar to a trip mine. As soon as a player gets close enough, the mine deploys hundreds of nanobots that instantly take the enemy out.

Although it sounds extremely overpowered, it really isn’t. There are two major weaknesses of these mines, and those are that

  • If an enemy player hears or sees the mine then one shot will take it out instantly
  • If you, the player who deployed the H.I.V.E mines, gets taken out, then all the mines you had deployed will despawn.

Regardless, if you’re able to pick some sneaky spots that are sure to catch players off guard, especially when the map is a small one with fast-paced gameplay, then all you’ll have to do is find a good sniping or camping spot that will ensure you stay alive long enough for some poor souls to walk into your mines.

Operator Skills – 1: K9 Unit

If you’ve played CoD Mobile before and you’ve come across a player using the K9 Unit, then chances are you already know how overpowered this skill is. One bite from the dog you call can instantly take out any enemy. Not only that, but the skill gauge for the K9 Unit also fills up really quickly, especially when compared to the gauges of other operators.

The K9 Unit will track and pick off enemies with deadly accuracy

There is one downside, however, which is that the dog can be easily killed, but when the skill is used at the right time, it can take the enemy out before they even see what’s coming.

Final Thoughts

These were our picks for the seven best operator skills in CoD Mobile, especially for beginners. One thing to keep in mind is that just having a good operator skill doesn’t mean kills are guaranteed as you also need to learn how to use it. Well, this applies to every operator skill but the K9 unit, as you can pretty much use that anytime.
