Locations of COD Mobile NPC operators Scylla and Merc 5 in Blackout

The Counterattack event requires players to play the Blackout BR map and recruit multiple different NPCs from it during the matches. By playing matches, players are also collecting materials that are essential to complete the missions in this event.

There are a total of 16 NPCs on the map, and each has multiple missions for the players to complete. Players will have to locate them in their exact locations to interact with them and obtain missions. Completing these missions will allow them to recruit operators for the Counterattack event on COD Mobile.

Scylla is located in the gas station in Rivertown. Players will find her standing right outside the deli beside the gas station. Players can approach her and start the mission, which requires them to drop a few supplies like armor plates, light ammo and heavy ammo. Scylla will in return give players some loot like Kinetic Armor and more ammo.

Merc 5 is located in Ghost town. Simply follow the NPC marker on the minimap to find him outside the shed. Players will have to drop him a shotgun and sniper ammo along with some armor to recruit the operator for the Counterattack event.
