Vehicles will be present, include an ATV that seats 2, light helicopter for 3 players, SUV for 4, and tactical raft.

Call of Duty: Mobile is going the full 9-yards. With an attempt to create a feature full mobile title but considering Activision's monetization heavy practices expect to have a lot of premium purchases linked to the game. We've seen this with premium games Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's reticle sights and the heavy implementation of the Eververse in Destiny 2. So it's safe to assume that a free game will much more microtransactions.

Call of Duty: Mobile is in development for iOS and Android devices.
