COD: Mobile Flash Drone - How To Complete the In Plain Sight Challenge
In the latest Season 9, COD: Mobile players will find the In Plain Sight mission in the Seasonal Events tab. The challenge comprises seven stages, and completing each will unlock a free cosmetic reward.
As an added bonus, the developer added two rare AK-47 and Artic 50 blueprints as grindable rewards from this seasonal challenge. Here are all the stages players will have to complete to unlock the Flash Drone in COD: Mobile Season 9.
- Play five multiplayer matches
- Throw any tactical equipment 15 times in multiplayer matches
- Kill ten enemies with any Thermite Grenade
- Kill 15 enemies with any MK2 in multiplayer matches equipped with Tactician perk
- Kill 25 enemies with AK-47 in multiplayer equipped with Tactician Perk
- Destroy an enemy's scorestreak with EMP tactical grenade three times
- Win three multiplayer matches with the Hard Wired perk equipped
The Flash Drone will become one of the strongest pieces of tactical equipment in Season 9, simply because of how overpowered it seems on paper. Imagine pushing a site during domination and you have to sneak past a few enemies to get the early points. This is where the Flash Drone will have maximum efficiency, as it can be best used to block an enemy's line of sight.
Similarly, it can be an impressive tool when used for escape situations, but it's highly unlikely that anyone would use this tactical passively. Another advantage of having the Flash Drone is that it provides instant cover from camping snipers. Aggressive players will appreciate the Flash Drone since it demands a shorter animation time to equip the flash as compared to a regular flashbang grenade.
