The blog also lists a couple of tips for players to keep in mind while battling on Blackout during their BR sessions:

- Players should check out the surroundings and explore the map in order to understand the layout and increase their chances of survival.

- One should use Call of Duty: Mobile mechanics to their advantage in the game. “Throw out decoys on Nuketown Island using the Trickster; track enemy activity in the Firing Range with the Scout's Sensor Dart; call in a Medic to pick up the pieces when incoming damage gets heavy,” says Activision.

- Players need to mix and match their weapons based on the varied areas of the map. The sniper weapons are best suited for the wide open spaces.
