Old Call of Duty games might have arguably been more fun because of their focus on the horrors of war, but the fact of the matter is that no one in those games was memorable, at least when it came to multiplayer.

The biggest reason for this is the lack of character customization in older games, something that newer CoD games such as CoD Mobile have changed thanks to the addition of customizable soldiers and soldier skins you can equip.

CoD Mobile Skins

We’re here to go through the various ways of getting new skins for your character in CoD Mobile so you could stand out from everyone else the next time you load into a match.

Earning Skins – Method #1: Monthly Log-in Calendar

The first and one of the easiest ways of getting new skins is by simply logging in to the game. Don’t get what we mean? Well, CoD Mobile has a feature where the more days we log in to the game, the more rewards we get from the monthly log-in calendar.

Toward the end of the calendar, players can potentially earn some exclusive skins for that month. The best thing about this method is you barely have to do anything and don’t have to spend a single CoD point.

CoD: Mobile Earning Skins – Method #2: Participating in Events

The second method we want to highlight includes participating in the many events that take place in CoD Mobile. Some of these events reward players with skins for their troubles. Therefore, we recommend you keep an eye out for them to ensure you don’t end up missing a skin.

Login Reward Progression

One very good event for new players is the new player log-in reward, which rewards players with one of three epic skins if they log in for seven consecutive days. 

CoD: Mobile Earning Skins – Method #3: Progressing in the Battle Pass

The CoD Mobile battle pass has given players some terrific in-game items through the seasons, and those items have also included skins in the past. Every time a new battle pass comes around, we suggest going through all the tier rewards to check if any tier will reward you with a skin you might want.

Of course, it isn’t necessary that the skins be in the paid or premium battle pass either, as you can also potentially earn some skins from the free version.

CoD: Mobile Earning Skins – Method #4: Crates, Bundles, and Draws

Although highly dependent on RNG, players can also potentially get skins by opening crates or bundles, as well as participating in draws. For all three of these methods, players will get a random currency, item, or cosmetic, so you better wear your lucky shirt before trying to get skins this way.

CoD: Mobile Earning Skins – Method #5: Purchasing Them

If push comes to shove, there’s always the option to purchase skins from the in-game store for credits. One thing to keep in mind is that the credit store is updated twice every season. The first time is done at the very start of the season, while the second update happens towards the middle of it.

Therefore, it might be a good idea to save up your credits when you realize a shop update is around the corner, lest you end up falling short on credits despite there being a skin you want for sale.

Final Thoughts

Of course, there are some more ways of getting skins in this game, but they mostly have to do with activities unrelated to CoD Mobile itself. For example, watching specific twitch championship streams for skin drops, or playing events in other console/PC CoD entries and having your CoD account linked.
