Call of Duty Mobile is an excellent FPS game, the mobile version of CoD, and a highly popular esport played by hundreds of millions of people around the globe. Each year, it features multiple tournaments that you can watch on twitch.tv and even bet on if you like. CoD: Mobile has many great features and one of them is its characters. This guide will tell you more about this aspect of the game.
The Basics of Call of Duty Mobile Characters
Call of Duty Mobile Characters are models that you can choose from when you play the game. However, keep in mind that these models are similar to those of esports like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), not Valorant or Overwatch. In other words, they’re more like skins than actual agents with unique skills.
Another thing to keep in mind about Call of Duty Mobile characters is that not all of them will be immediately available to you. Many of these characters need to be unlocked before they can be used.
All Call of Duty Mobile characters are the same in terms of their attributes. But they’re still unique from a visual and lore perspective, which is important for every fan of the CoD series. Choosing one character over another won’t increase or decrease your win rate, but it may enhance your visual and psychological experience of the game. Whether you choose to play a character that’s male or female, young or old, from one of the newer games or from the ancient past of CoD, your choice will not do you any harm from a gameplay perspective.
Call of Duty Mobile characters are quite numerous. At the moment, there are almost 130 of them. These characters come from the various CoD games that have been released over the last two decades and can bring a lot of memories.
The Lore of Some of the Call of Duty Mobile Characters
Each character in Call of Duty Mobile has a unique story. And many of them are quite fascinating. Here are 3 such characters.
Shepherd
Lieutenant General Shepherd began as a supporting character in CoD: Modern Warfare 2 and then proved to be the main antagonist of the story. His signature weapon, a .44 Magnum, can probably still be remembered by those who’ve played the Duty franchise since at least 2009. This is without a doubt one of the most iconic characters in the series.
During the 2nd Russian civil war, General Shepherd was the supreme commander of the US military forces. The execution of Al-Fulani by Al-Asad triggered an invasion. However, the US forces were destroyed by a nuclear device and around 30,000 marines lost their lives. Shepherd was greatly affected by this incident, and he developed a bleak view of the world and politics. However, he continues to fight for his country and tried to restore its reputation and military might. At the same time, he invested a lot of time in secret to restore his own image in the eyes of those he had disappointed.
The story of this character is much longer and requires an in-depth study of the storyline of one of CoD’s best games.
Vagr Modir
Vagr Modir is one of the more recent additions to Call of Duty Mobile and her story is full of captivating details. She is tasked with rescuing Hidora Kai from UAC and is in charge of an armada. Hidora is being held captive on a ship and Vagr attacks its crew. During this rescue attempt, she encounters General Shepherd and forces him to free the hostage.
