Call of Duty®: Mobile Tutorial Walkthrough and Control Mode Setup

To complete the introductory tutorial in Call of Duty®: Mobile, choose Advanced Mode at the firing range, finish Simon "Ghost" Riley's weapon handling drills, equip the Red Dot Sight in your loadout menu, and win the introductory 5v5 match on Killhouse. Choosing Advanced Mode immediately establishes full manual trigger control, eliminating the firing delays and ammunition waste that occur with automated shooting.

Selecting Simple Mode vs. Advanced Mode

During the firing range tutorial, the game prompts you to select your primary control scheme. While Simple Mode requires no dedicated fire button, Advanced Mode provides the precision necessary for standard multiplayer play.

Simple Mode fires automatically when your aiming reticle rests on an opponent. However, the automated trigger introduces a noticeable delay before shooting, fails to lead targets, and makes it impossible to pre-fire around corners.

Advanced Mode separates aiming from shooting and introduces 1-Tap ADS (Aim Down Sights). Pressing the dedicated ADS fire button zooms down the weapon sight and discharges rounds in a single input. It also preserves separate hip-fire controls for close-quarters encounters, allowing you to control recoil and manage ammunition manually.

Completing Ghost's Boot Camp Drills

The boot camp tutorial teaches foundational touch navigation, recoil management, and lethal ordnance deployment through consecutive practical steps:

1. Movement and Camera Coordination: Use the floating virtual thumbstick on the left side of your screen to walk toward the armory table, while swiping the right side of the screen to steer your camera. Keeping your thumb centered on the right half prevents abrupt camera shifts when turning.
2. Marksmanship Qualification: Pick up the standard M4 assault rifle. When Ghost prompts you to engage stationary and moving wooden targets, pull down slightly on the right side of your display while firing to counteract the M4's vertical recoil climb.
3. Frag Grenade Placement: Press and hold the Frag Grenade icon to bring up the red trajectory arc. Align the parabolic arc through the bunker window to eliminate the fortified dummy targets, then release to throw.

Equipping Attachments in the Loadout Menu

After finishing the firing range exercises, the game directs you to the main menu to introduce weapon customization.

1. Select your primary weapon slot and inspect the M4 assault rifle.
2. Tap the optic slot and equip the unlocked Red Dot Sight.

The Red Dot Sight replaces the M4’s obstructive default iron sights with a clear circular frame and central dot, improving target acquisition through muzzle smoke. The loadout menu also displays locked slots for secondary sidearms, tactical gear, and perks, which become available as your account level increases.

Winning the 5v5 Killhouse Match

Once you equip the Red Dot Sight, Ghost places you into a practice 5v5 team deathmatch on Killhouse.

• Avoid the Center Lane: Killhouse features narrow sightlines dominated by shipping containers and central wooden barricades. Pushing straight down the middle exposes you to crossfire from elevated spots and opposing spawns.
• Control the Perimeter: Move along the outer boundary walls, using the wooden walls for partial cover while engaging bots in the open lanes.
• Deploy the UAV at 400 Points: Each kill and assist awards match score. Upon reaching 400 points, tap the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) icon on the right side of your screen. The radar sweep reveals real-time red enemy positions on your mini-map, allowing your squad to track spawns and close out the score limit.

Next Steps: Refining HUD and Sensitivity

Completing the Killhouse match finishes the mandatory tutorial, awards account experience, unlocks secondary weapons, and opens the standard Multiplayer playlist.

Before queuing for public matches against live players, open the in-game Settings menu:

• Customize HUD: Enter the Controls tab and select Custom Layout. Reposition and scale the virtual thumbstick, fire buttons, ADS toggle, and reload button to fit your screen size and grip style.
• Tune Sensitivity: Navigate to the Sensitivity tab. Adjust your standard Camera Sensitivity so that a single comfortable swipe across the right half of the screen produces a clean 180-degree turn.
