What makes a good perk?
To define a good perk in Call of Duty: Mobile is simple. A good perk complements your playstyle and maximizes your effectiveness in combat. Perks, we remind, are passive abilities and divided into three categories: Red (Tier 1), Green (Tier 2), and Blue (Tier 3), each offering unique advantages. Red perks focus on mobility, survivability, or gaining a tactical edge, such as Lightweight for faster sprinting or Flak Jacket for reducing explosive damage.
Green perks emphasize utility, stealth, or sustained performance; examples include Tracker, which reveals enemy footprints, and Vulture, ensuring a steady ammo supply. Blue perks offer situational awareness and tactical advantages, like Hardline, which boosts points earned, or Dead Silence, perfect for sneaky approaches. Choosing the right combination from these categories is critical to dominating matches and tailoring your loadout to counter opponents effectively.
