You cannot unlock permanent Mythic weapon blueprints for free in Call of Duty®: Mobile. Permanent Mythics are strictly locked behind premium 10-tier Lucky Draws that cost COD Points (CP), followed by an eight-tier upgrade track requiring paid Mythic Upgrade Cards. While the game has occasionally awarded free permanent Legendary blueprints—such as milestone anniversary crates or the Kurohana Crate—it does not distribute permanent Mythics through redemption codes, seasonal events, or gameplay grinding.

The only legitimate way for free-to-play players to use Mythic blueprints is through Mythic Weapon Sharing, an in-match multiplayer feature that lets max-tier Mythic owners drop temporary copies for their teammates.

How Mythic Weapon Sharing Works

Mythic Weapon Sharing activates exclusively when a player in your multiplayer lobby owns a Mythic weapon upgraded to maximum level (Tier 8). Base, un-upgraded Mythics cannot be shared. Once an owner fully levels the blueprint, the game assigns them a Mythic Share Level that unlocks spawn-phase weapon drops.

When the match begins, the system works through a brief pre-match sequence:

  1. Spawn-phase activation: During the pre-match countdown timer in the team spawn area, the Mythic owner receives an on-screen share prompt.
  2. Holographic drop: Tapping the share prompt spawns holographic weapon projection crates directly in front of the owner.
  3. Pickup: Teammates run to a projection and press the interact button to replace their primary firearm with the borrowed Mythic.

Borrowed Mythics include all cosmetic upgrades unlocked on the owner's weapon, such as custom iron sights, reactive camouflage stages, modified muzzle flashes, custom inspection animations, and unique tracer effects.

System Restrictions and Usage Limits

Mythic sharing functions as a temporary match perk, not an inventory unlock. Several hard constraints limit how often and how effectively you can use borrowed blueprints:

  • Strict drop quotas: Owners cannot generate infinite projections. A player's total Mythic Share Level determines their drop capacity per match. Once those drop charges are spent, the share prompt disappears for the rest of the game.
  • Loss on elimination in round-based modes: In round-based formats such as Search & Destroy, dying forfeits the borrowed blueprint. You cannot re-equip the Mythic in subsequent rounds unless the owner still has remaining drop tokens and activates another projection.
  • Locked Gunsmith attachments: Borrowed weapons inherit the owner's exact attachment setup. If the owner equipped an optic you dislike or built the weapon for extreme mobility at the expense of recoil control, you cannot modify the build in your Gunsmith menu.

Shared Mythics vs. Standard Loadout Progression

Borrowing a teammate's blueprint provides clean custom sights and visual flair, but relying on lobby drops creates competitive inconsistencies compared to building your own arsenal.

How to Maximize Borrowed Mythics

When playing alongside a teammate who shares maxed Mythic blueprints, follow these practical steps to get the most value out of the drop:

  • Position near the owner immediately: Identify players with maxed Mythic badges during the staging timer and stand near them before the countdown ends. Projections are limited, and other teammates will race to claim them.
  • Test handling during spawn movement: Check aim-down-sights (ADS) speed and weapon sway before entering your first gunfight. Knowing whether the owner tuned the weapon for close-quarters aggression or long-range holding tells you how to pace your engagements.
  • Play with higher survival discipline: In limited-life modes, avoid risky opening duels. Dying immediately wastes the projection for that round and drops the weapon where an opponent can recover it.
  • Coordinate in pre-made squads: If you party up with a friend who owns maxed Mythics, agree beforehand on which rounds to drop weapons in Search & Destroy to avoid wasting share charges on early throwaway rounds.
