    74 Advanced Tips for Call of Duty Mobile

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 05:17 AM PDT

    tl;dr 1 - Call of Duty Mobile is setting new world records and I am really enjoying it. These tips include stuff like how to get a nuclear bomb, shoot down UAVs, fastest way to level up, information about bots, and it ends with about 12 tips for Battle Royale.

    tl;dr 2 - I made a professional video that shows everything here https://youtu.be/ebr6ddoPMwc

    But for those of you who don't like watching video, here is my video script:

    Call of Duty Mobile just set a new record for the most first week downloads the world has ever seen. Furthermore, Activision is doing a great job with with releasing new game modes each week so if they keep this up, it could end up becoming one of the biggest games in the world. I have already given you guys a lot of tips for the game, but none of those were quite as advanced as these are.

    If you end up getting 25 kills without dying, you will unlock a nuclear bomb that after 10 seconds will destroy all five of your enemies no matter where they are on the map. Obviously this is difficult to do, and requires some really incompetent teammates, but it does guarantee getting a pentakill, which is arguably even harder than killing 25 people without dying.

    Selecting a bazooka or guided missile as your secondary weapon allows you to shoot down UAVs, counter UAV, Stealth Chopper, and even Hover Jets as long as you see them before they kill you. In addition to this, killing them gives a lot of points, which is really nice when you're trying to rack up scorestreaks.

    In a previous video, I said that I did not like the airdrop. I am taking that back. For some reason the airdrop only gave me UAVs and Hunter Drones, but now that I'm a higher level, I am finding that using airdrops is the best way to get Hover Jets since they normally require 1600 points.

    Getting a Hover Jet isn't quite as amazing as a nuclear bomb, but it is pretty close and it is a little bit more fun. Just make sure to keep changing its position in the sky using this button, or else you will probably get shot down pretty quickly.

    In my last video for this game, I gave you guys my opinion on the best two-finger configuration for the game, but I forgot to mention that after you get really comfortable using that configuration, I recommend decreasing the opacity of all your buttons to around 30% to increase your peripheral vision. If you have not seen my main tips and tricks video for this game, I strongly recommend that you do so. I put a lot of work into that video and you will not be disappointed.

    However, in that video I did make one mistake by implying that the Full Metal Jacket attachment increases the damage of your gun. I apologize for that slip up. The FMJ does not increase your damage but rather reduces the decrease in damage that you experience when shooting someone through a wall. So if you have a weapon that is almost killing people with one or two shots, the Full Metal Jacket is not a good choice because it will not make the difference you are wanting. However, if you have a weapon that does the damage you like and want to do more damage while shooting through walls, then it is the perfect attachment.

    Likewise, the foregrip does not actually increase the accuracy of your gun in the traditional sense, but rather reduces The Recoil of your gun which indirectly affects your accuracy. And in a similar vein, the stock does not actually increase the base mobility of your gun, but rather significantly increases your mobility why you are actively aiming it.

    All the other attachments are pretty self-explanatory. I do still plan on making a playlist on the best attachments for each weapon, but that will require a lot of research so I will explain my plans for that at the end of this video.

    Getting to level 150 takes a lot of grinding so if you want to speed up this process, I recommend that the next time Activision releases a weekend double experience event, playing a lot of unranked Domination. In these games, it is very easy to predict where your opponents will be coming from because they will be wanting to capture zones. This is, of course, smart for them because they want to win the game, but your main objective in this game is to get experience so while you do want to win the game for the 400 something points, this is your chance to rack up a crazy amount of kills while your enemy is busy trying to win the game. Each of those kills will give you 40 experience, or 80 if you are doing it during a double exp event, and if you are good enough, focusing so much on kills instead of capturing zones will likely prolong the length of the game. This will allow you to get more kills and longer games give more experience faster than starting a new game, making playing Domination this way the fastest way to level up.

    There are a lot of rumors saying that you are fighting mostly bots before level 10, and not fighting any bots after level 10. This is not true. Activision and Tencent have not admitted to bots, but it is pretty obvious that they are in the game, so we as players are left to try to figure out when and where these bots are, which can sometimes be difficult because some of the people downloading this game are really bad and kind of play like bots. Some famous gamers have started the rumor that after level 10 there are no bots, but that is not true. It might be partially true, but it is clearly more complicated than that.

    In unranked games, I also experienced that most of my early games were full of bots. Then at around level five, I noticed that the game started pairing me with four bot teammates against another lower level player who also had four bot teammates. Then after level 10, I started seeing a lot less bots, but I noticed that even up to level 25, if I chose a specific game type on a specific map and the loading time got above 40 seconds, I would yet again get paired with one other person and each of us would have four bots teammates.

    Furthermore, no matter what level you are, when you first start playing ranked games, there is a good chance that you will find a lot of bots at the early bronze levels, but once you enter the veteran ranks, you see almost no bots whatsoever.

    This is also true in the bronze rank of the Battle Royale game mode, and I think there are still quite a few bots even in the veteran rank of Battle Royale. I can't confirm that completely, but that has been my experience.

    And like I said earlier, since Activision and Tencent have been silent on whether or not there bots in this game, we as players are left to our experiences to try to figure out what their formula for bots in the game is.

    Once you get to the Elite and Pro ranks, you will notice that there are a lot of players using emulators. Call of Duty mobile has not banned the use of emulators and an emulator user with good settings has a distinct advantage over a two fingered mobile user. I'm not sure what Activision is planning to do about this, but it seems as of now, if you are wanting to reach the top of the rankings, you probably want to consider using an emulator. But then again, Activision could likely ban emulators in the future so maybe it would be better to try to get good with a four-finger configuration.

    You also might want to get good at using the left shooting button to hip fire. I personally prefer to use the pre-firing technique that I showed you in my last video, but I've noticed that most of the pros primarily use hip firing.

    While we're talking about playing at a pro-level, if you are serious about trying to get that good, I recommend taking a couple days and just playing the same game mode on the same map at least five times in a row. By playing at least the same map, but preferably also the same game mode over and over again, you will notice that you will start trying new things which can help you realize what not to do in the future, or you will find yourself perfecting a tactic that has been working for you. These types of discoveries are crucial for getting really good at a game and they will not come as quickly to you if you are always playing random. I will also be releasing a playlist with the best tactics for each map, but I will talk about that more at the end of this video.

    When you first start playing, it will feel like it is so easy to level up your weapons. That is because you have common weapons which are really easy to level up. Rare and epic weapons require a lot more experience to level up so I recommend saving as many XP cards as you can so that you can use them when you get a rare weapon you really like. Rare weapons also give you passive abilities which aren't usually a huge game changer, but they are still really nice.

    When playing Search and Destroy, the current meta is to throw down a smoke bomb and then a sticky bomb as your teammate goes to plant or defuse the bomb. This usually buys your teammate a few extra seconds which can be a game changer.

    Most random people you play with will not work together as a team, so I recommend joining the Call of Duty Mobile Discord server because they have a great place to find good teammates. I have put a link to that Discord server in the pinned post of this video.

    In almost every game type, movement is life. Partially this is because you are harder to hit, but mostly it helps because as long as you are moving, your reflexes are partially engaged, which is why you will notice that you react faster to unexpected circumstances while you are moving then when you are standing still.

    In Battle Royale mode, always pick up all the ammo you find. Ammo does not take any room in your backpack and you can carry up to 999 of each ammo type. By picking up extra ammo, you will be equipped to switch a weapon later in the game or give ammo to your allies who have need of it. Your character won't automatically pick up ammo that is not used by the gun you are carrying, so it is important that you manually click every piece of ammo that you run across. This will also prevent your enemies from getting that ammo.

    As soon as you get your first adrenaline shot, go ahead and use it even if you have not lost any health because it will give you 150 hit points. No other healing item can restore your health past 100 so adrenaline shots are incredibly important. In fact, I recommend going to your settings, clicking here for Battle Royale settings, and then clicking here for loot settings and then increasing adrenaline to automatically picking up 15, and then reducing the other two to five. It is unlikely that you will get 15 adrenaline shots because you should be using them every time you get injured to restore your health back to 150, but you also don't want your enemies to get them so you want to pick up every single one you can find.

    Helicopters are a lot of fun, but they're also easily shot down. If you are playing with a squad, make sure to have one of your teammates pick up a guided missile so that you can shoot down teams that linger too long vehicle.

    In solo mode, however, it is easier to get away with using helicopters, because it is less beneficial for solo players to carry around a guided missile launcher.

    In fact, if I get a really good sniper rifle, one of my favorite things to do is land a helicopter on this tower, because it is an incredible sniping position with really good cover and I can easily jump back in my helicopter when the zone closes in on me.

    When playing as the defender class, it is important to note that your Shield releases a flashbang when you place it, blinding all of your enemies in front of it for three seconds, which is a really long time. Make sure to take advantage of this time as they run around completely blind.

    Some players find it advantageous to move a button that you don't use to the very center of your screen and then reduce it to its smallest size to serve as the more obvious crosshair.

    Increasing your screen brightness even beyond what is needed can often give players an advantage.

    And lastly, if you're getting shot unexpectedly, sliding immediately almost always helps. Sliding makes you move faster than even running and reduces your hitbox to almost nothing. It may only be for a split moment, but sometimes that is all you need to figure out where your enemy is or get behind cover.

    Well. That's it guys. Hope that helps. I really love this game and want to do a ton of videos for it, but historically I have struggled to get into new games because my subscribers are so heavily focused on the first game I became known for. So if you like my style of making videos and want me to make more videos for this game, would you consider sharing this video with your friends that are already playing Call of Duty mobile, and my other video to your friends that don't. If I can get these two videos to do well, then I will be able to make a ton of videos for this game. Also liking and subscribing makes a big difference as well.

    Alright guys. I'll see you next time.

    4 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 38)

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 07:40 AM PDT

    It's Friday! And that means I'm back to once again share a few mobile game recommendations based on the games I've played this week :)

    This week, covering a fun arcade action game with fun ragdoll physics, a relaxing simulation idle game about penguins, a strategy RPG based on the Saint Seiya anime franchise, and a brand new DIGIMON gacha RPG by Bandai Namco.

    Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 38 weeks ago here.

    The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.

    Here be the games:

    Gun Guys [Game Size: 147 MB] (free)

    Genre: Arcade / Action / Puzzle - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review:

    Gun Guys is a fun arcade'ish action game that mixes the gameplay of "Mr. Bullet" with the funky art-style and ragdoll physics of a "Playgendary" game.

    Placed at a stationary position in each platform-designed level, our goal is to take out all opponents with as few bullets as possible. Oftentimes, we have to avoid civilians as well, and utilize the fact that bullets bounce off of walls to complete the levels with 3-stars.

    There are only 2 types of characters and weapons, and we don't get to pick which to use for each level, although I expect more to be added in the future. This, and the short 1-2 hours of gameplay are the game's only, and minor, downsides.

    Monetization happens through ads, which can be removed through a single $2 iAP, as well as other iAPs to acquire more gold instantly, which can only be used to unlock character and weapon skins.

    Penguin Isle [Game Size: 151 MB] (free)

    Genre: Idle / Simlation / Relaxing - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Idle

    tl;dr review:

    Penguin Isle is a relaxing offline idle game about building a peaceful habitat for our growing penguin colony.

    We automatically earn the currencies needed to upgrade our island and produce more penguins over time, which in turn increases the speed at which the currencies are produced.

    Progression is relatively slow, and you quickly get to a point where you have to either just wait (it is an idle game after all), watch an advertisement for some free currency rewards, or buy some through iAPs, which is how the game monetizes.

    In comparison to an idle game like "Ulala Idle Adventure", there really isn't a whole lot to do in Penguin Isle. In many ways, Penguin Isle is more of a traditional idle game.

    Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac [Total Game Size: 2.92 GB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Strategy / Turn-based / Anime - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac is a team-based strategy gacha RPG based on the 80s Saint Seiya anime-series with a ton of gameplay content and a beautiful art-style.

    What I find most interesting about this game is its combat system, where each hero has a normal attack and 2-3 special abilities that cost mana to cast. Mana is shared across heroes and regenerates after all our heroes have attacked, which adds a neat tactical layer to picking which hero(es) gets to use a special attack each round.

    Between combat, we upgrade our saints, level them up, and increase their skill's levels, which makes them stronger - just like in most gacha RPGs.

    Monetization happens through the gacha system that rewards us new heroes, as well as through a decently generous energy system that limits some of the gameplay modes. This does make PvP, where we fight other player's heroes controlled by an AI, heavily Pay-to-Win, but the singleplayer content can still be enjoyed as a free player.

    DIGIMON ReArise [Total Game Size: 682 MB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Strategy / Turn-based - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    DIGIMON ReArise is a gacha RPG by Bandai Namco, with a combat system that lands somewhere in-between action-based and turn-based, which I found rather confusing.

    The UI is cluttered and confusing and while the gameplay ticks all the boxes of what a gacha RPG should include, it fails to impress in any meaningful way.

    There's also a ton of daily login rewards, missions, achievements etc., which I guess is the game's attempt at diverting our attention away from the lackluster combat system and stale gameplay.

    Monetization happens through a very aggressive energy system, as well iAPs to unlock more Digimon immediately through the gacha system. Needless to say, I can't recommend playing DIGIMON ReArise! Consider yourselves warned.

    Apple Arcade games that go well with podcasts?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2019 02:31 PM PDT

    I like playing games while listening to podcasts. Games that don't require sound or have not-too-distracting sound effects, as well as gameplay mechanics that don't require too much focus.

    Any suggestions?
