Hardpoint is one of the four ranked multiplayer modes you can play in Call of Duty: Mobile. It is a game mode in which two teams of five players must capture and hold alternative hardpoint positions, which remain in play for about a minute each, to amass points. The team that amasses 150 (or 200) points wins the match. Hardpoint matches are fast and frantic affairs and a lot of fun. Here are 5 Call of Duty: Mobile tips for Hardpoint matches.

1. Remember the hardpoint locations
One thing to note about Hardpoint matches is that the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth hardpoint objectives are always at exactly the same positions on a map. The hardpoint objectives’ positions are not in any way random. Each map has the same hardpoint locations that appear in the same order every time you play it.
So try to remember the order of hardpoint locations for specific maps. Practice playing Hardpoint maps in non-ranked play to familiarize yourself with their locations as much as you can. When you can recall where the next spot will be, you can get to it first.
2. Save your Scorestreaks for attacking hardpoints
Scorestreak arsenal can come in handy for capturing hardpoints. With Scorestreaks activated, you can utilize gear like the XS1 Goliath, Shock RC, Predator Missile, and VTOL to annihilate hostiles holding hardpoint objectives. So save your Scorestreaks for when you really need them to attack strongly defended hardpoints.

3. Toss grenades into hardpoint rooms
Grenades can have more impact in Hardpoint matches than other Call of Duty: Mobile game modes. Multiple hostiles will typically gather within relatively small hardpoint positions in and around buildings. Therefore, you can rack up more kills with grenades by tossing them into rooms that include a few enemies defending a hardpoint. At the very least, enemies in rooms will often lose some energy from grenade explosions, which will give you more chance of taking them out when attacking a hardpoint.

4. Equip Flack Jacket
As grenades, and other types of explosives, are often utilized in Hardpoint matches, it makes sense to equip the Flack Jacket. Flack Jacket is a perk that reduces damage taken from explosions by 35 percent. Naturally, it gives you extra protection from grenades and trip mines in matches.

5. Select a gun with good mobility
Speed is of the essence in Hardpoint matches as you’ll often be running to reach hardpoint positions ASAP. With faster movement speed, you can reach hardpoint positions held by the enemy more quickly after you respawn. Furthermore, you’ll also need to beat your opponents to unoccupied hardpoint positions by outrunning them.
Therefore, it’s a good idea to select a gun with a high mobility rating. You’ll move faster when you’ve equipped yourself with a high mobility gun. In that respect, guns like the Chicom and RUS-79U, which have high mobility ratings, are better firearms for Hardpoint matches.

Hardpoint matches are typically contested at closer quarters in and around hardpoint positions. So submachine guns with high fire rates, damage, and mobility ratings are generally the best-suited firearms for Hardpoint mode. Range and accuracy are not so important for guns in Hardpoint matches as you’ll often be engaging hostiles from close distances in buildings.
The above Call of Duty: Mobile tips for Hardpoint will enhance your chances of winning more matches in that game mode and boosting scores. With higher Hardpoint scores and more victories for that game mode, you’ll climb the ranking ladder faster.
