How to unlock SVD sniper in COD Mobile

Thankfully, unlocking the SVD sniper is easy. All you need to do is level up the battle pass to Tier 21. 

It is important to note this is in the free tiers of the Battle Pass, so you don't have to purchase a Premium Bundle. 

You can also purchase the Premium Battle Pass 12-Tier Bundle, which will set you back 520 CP, putting you only nine (9) levels away from unlocking the SVD sniper in COD Mobile Season 10.
