As such, there is a wide variety of players that implement various ways to play the game itself. There are the tried and true players that play the game how it was intended, using their fingers on a mobile device. However, there’s also a crowd that feels more comfortable using a controller.

The COD: Mobile developers made it so you can plug in a controller and game away on your mobile device for this crowd specifically. Although, since the game wasn’t actually intended to be played on a controller, the settings can be a little tricky to figure out. 

Best settings for COD: Mobile on controller 

Starting out, you’re going to want to head into the Settings and scroll over until you see the ‘Controller’ tab. When here, make sure ‘Enable Controller Support’ is enabled. This will allow your controller of choice to work and you can properly use it when playing COD: Mobile. 

Next, look directly down from that option and you’ll see a few settings that you can change. We recommend using these settings for the remaining options in the Controller tab.

• X-axis FLIP: Default
• Y-axis FLIP: Default
• Flip triggers with bumpers: Default
• Tap ADS: Hold
• Auto-Sprint: Off
• Sprint Function: Push left joystick forward

After those settings are locked in, look just below the main tabs at the top of the page. Here you should see ‘MP Sensitivity, BR Sensitivity, Zombies Sensitivity’. Each of these tabs must be configured individually but most players use the same sensitivities for each of the game modes.
