In the world of Call of Duty: Mobile, Operator Skills are unique abilities that grant players powerful weapons or equipment for a limited time.

This guide gives you an updated list of all Operator Skills available in Call of Duty: Mobile as of 2024.
Purifier
Description: A Flamethrower that blasts a stream of scorching fire within close range. The flamethrower’s main drawback is its short range.

Figure out those hot spots where enemies tend to group up.
Unlock level or method: Death Machine
Tips & Tricks:
- Focus on close-range combat, the Purifier won’t make a difference in long-distance fights.

Tips & Tricks:
- Pre-fire the Death Machine to improve accuracy before engaging with enemies.
