A lot of COD enthusiasts would say that Type 25 is a poor weapon to start with, but with certain attachments and the right approach, it can prove to be one of the deadliest rifles accessible to new play

When it comes down to Mobility, the AK-47 rifle is as mobile as they come as it has a rating of 74 . Any player can feel confident while using this gun in any game mode. With a little upgrade, it will definitely hold its own against the r

In most competitive shooters, beginners feel most comfortable using SMGs and assault rifles as they get used to the pace and mechanics of the game. Call of Duty Mobile is not an exception to this rule. Assault rifles and SMGs are the most "rookie-friendly" guns in this title, and using them early on will surely help new players get used to the game without getting absolutely obliterated in their first few matc

Also one of the best-looking video games of 2019 , Sayonara Wild Hearts describes itself as a "dream arcade game about riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph." If that sounds wild, the game itself also proves to be a tripe as the heart of a young woman, the balance of the universe, a diamond butterfly, and a masked biker all come together to tell a story that is unique in its platforms of cho

The introduction of the Shorty in Call of Duty: Mobile brought joy to the hearts of short gun lovers. Although it was just introduced, the Shorty quickly earned itself a spot amongst the best secondary weapon in the game.

Gears POP! had 1 million+ users within its first week of launch, with the hype behind the franchise itself likely pushing that further along. It's been compared to Clash Royale several times but still captures what makes the Gears franchise itself, including advancing from cover points to defeat enemies. The Funko Pop characters was an interesting choice, but one that doesn't do anything to harm its reputation for fans of the typically grittier franch

This is one of the funnier-looking assault rifles in COD: Mobile . This intimidating gun falls short in the areas one would expect it to excel in. At 23, its Damage is desperately low. Its Accuracy is 55 and its range is

Sky: Children of Light boasts a number of accolades, including being nominated for best Warzone Mobile shutdown game at the Game Awards 2019 , mobile game of the year at the Golden Joystick Awards, and won Apple's iPhone Game of the Year award.

"The D.I.C.E. Awards are VERY important to me. I have been playing video games since there were video games. I hope there is some type of Dovahkiin Shout that will make sure I don't mess this up. I will find one! If not, I'll just look like a psychotic, screaming a**hole leading up to the Awar

Ranters, are there any games that you think the AIAS has unfairly overlooked? Do you find any surprises among the nominations? And who would you pick to win the major categories? Let us know in the comments be

Call of Duty Mobile brings the CoD experience to mobile with full-fledged multiplayer support and a zombies mode. It's proven to be incredibly popular so far (and thereby incredibly profitable), as it managed to even top Fortnite on mobile sales charts in its first week. It's simple and straightforward to use, but also comes packed with content that has expanded somewhat and will likely continue to do so. With it and Modern Warfare currently out, it's a good time to be a Call of Duty

What really sets it apart is its Fire Rate of 71 . With all these in mind, it's a wonder this gun is still one of the best-performing weapons in the game, but facts are facts. The HVK-30 is still being used to dominate in ranked matches as well as the battle roy
