How to 1v1 in Call of Duty Mobile

Want to prove you're the best among your friends in Call of Duty: Mobile? A 1v1 match is the perfect way to settle the score. Setting up a private match is easier than you might think.

To 1v1 in Call of Duty: Mobile, you need to go to the multiplayer menu, select the "private" option, and then invite a friend to join you. From there, you can set up the game mode and map you want to play on. It's a straightforward process that lets you create a custom game in just a few taps.

Setting Up Your 1v1 Match

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get your 1v1 match started:

1. Go to the Multiplayer Menu: From the main screen, tap on "Multiplayer."

2. Select the "Private" Option: In the bottom right corner, you’ll see an icon that looks like a person with a plus sign. Tapping this will take you to the private match lobby.

3. Invite Your Friend: On the right side of the screen, you'll see your friends list. Find the friend you want to challenge and tap the "Invite" button next to their name.

4. Choose Your Game Mode: Once your friend joins, you can select the game mode. For a classic 1v1, "Team Deathmatch" or "Free-for-All" are good choices. You can also try out other modes like "Kill Confirmed" or "Hardpoint."

5. Pick Your Map: After selecting the game mode, you can choose the map. Smaller maps like "Shipment" or "Nuketown" are great for fast-paced 1v1 action.

6. Start the Match: Once you and your friend are ready, hit the "Start" button to begin the match.

I remember the first time I challenged my friend to a 1v1. We were arguing about who was the better sniper, so we set up a private match on the "Crossfire" map with snipers only. It was an intense match, and even though I lost, it was a lot of fun and a great way to practice my sniping skills.

Another time, I was trying out a new loadout and wanted to see how it performed in a real-world scenario. I asked a friend to a 1v1 on "Shipment" to test it out. The fast-paced action of the map was perfect for getting a feel for the new weapon and attachments. It's a great way to warm up before jumping into ranked matches.
