Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9 is here, bringing in spooky new modes, maps, and cosmetics. CoD Mobile players have also been treated to the Swordfish Assault Rifle, so here are the best loadout attachments and Perks you can run with it.

It’s officially spooky season in Call of Duty: Mobile, with the Nightmare update bringing the Halloween version of Standoff, Undead Siege, and Halloween cosmetics.

It’s also brought Black Ops 4’s Swordfish Assault Rifle. This new burst rifle may not be a full-on meta weapon but packs a powerful punch in both the chaotic multiplayer and tactical battle royale mode.

Here are the best attachments and Perks you can run with the Swordfish in CoD: Mobile Season 9.

Best CoD: Mobile Swordfish loadout attachments

Swordfish in CoD Mobile Season 9
  • Barrel: MIP Extended Light
  • Optic: Classic Red Dot Sight
  • Laser: OWC Laser – Tactical
  • Magazine: Extended Mag A
  • Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape

To start this CoD: Mobile Swordfish loadout, we’ve opted for the MIP Extended Light barrel as it reduces bullet spread, recoil and also increases the damage range.

Next, the Classic Red Dot Sight optic is worthwhile because it provides a much clearer picture than the default Iron Sights. And to improve ADS speed, the OWC Laser – Tactical is well-worth using.

We recommend using the Extended Mag A over the Halberd Mag. While the Halberd increases its range, it also decreases damage, giving far fewer one-burst kills. The Extended Mag will, of course, give you much more bullets to work with.

And finally, the Granulated Grip Tape reduces bullet spread, making the Swordfish much more accurate, ensuring you can land all four shots in the burst.

Best Perks to use with the Swordfish in CoD: Mobile

CoD Mobile Fast Recover perk
  • Red Perk: Fast Recover
  • Green Perk: Vulture
  • Blue Perk: Dead Silence

While darting around the map with the Swordfish, Fast Recover will allow you to almost instantly regain health and get back in the fight.

And to make sure you’re not running out of ammo while racking up a Killstreak, Vulture will allow you to resupply from fallen players.

And finally, Dead Silence keeps your footsteps silent so enemies won’t know you’re coming.
