Heres how to unlock the Desperado Battle Royale class in Call of Duty: Mobile

Call of Duty: Mobile has added a new class to its Battle Royale mode. The new Desperado class is a more defensive-minded class. Its abilities suit players who would prefer to hold a position, rather than assault players. The active ability deploys a Shield Turret with unlimited ammunition for its duration. This can defend teammates while reviving them. It can also e used to block access for certain objectives. The passive ability is called Last Stand. This lets players fight back with a pistol after they are downed. If they manage to kill an enemy in this state, they will be revived.

Completing the Desperado Featured Challenge unlocks the class. Once unlocked, players will be able to select the class before a Battle Royale match begins.
