COD Mobile players get a special gift with the worldwide launch of COD Vanguard

COD Mobile players and the rest of the Call of Duty community are hyped today as it's the release date for the brand new Call of Duty title for consoles and PC. After a year of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, it is now time for the Sledgehammer Games' COD Vanguard to take over.

COD Mobile players will also benefit from this worldwide release as Activision is holding a promotional event in the game where players are getting a free character skin to celebrate the launch of COD Vanguard.

Friggs is known as Private Lucas Riggs in COD Vanguard and is one of the central characters in the campaign. Another central character, Arthur Kingsley, was also available on COD Mobile during the beta launch of COD Vanguard.

This is not the first time Activision has rewarded COD Mobile players for being an integral part of the community. The previous year when Black Ops: Cold War was released, COD Mobile players had the chance to redeem the Adler character skin by playing the game. Later, even Frank Woods was added to the shop as a crate skin.
