The Best Free‑to‑Play Shooters You Can Master on the Move 🔫🏃‍♂️

May 15, 2025

Touchscreens weren’t born for headshots—but clever devs cracked the code with customizable HUDs, gyro‑aim assists, and controller pairing. We pit six flagship shooters against criteria like time‑to‑kill, map variety, and cosmetics pricing.

The Contenders

  1. Call of Duty Mobile – Console‑grade gun feel plus bite‑size 5v5 multiplayer.
  2. PUBG Mobile – 100‑player battle royale with arcade modes for 10‑minute bursts.
  3. Apex Legends Mobile – Hero abilities introduce verticality; mobile‑only legend Fade shakes meta.
  4. Shadowgun Legends – Borderlands‑style hub full of loot and co‑op raids.
  5. Critical Ops – Pure CS‑style competitive play, no pay‑to‑win upgrades.
  6. Battle Prime – Gorgeous visuals on mid‑tier devices; rotating operator classes keep firefights fresh.

Aim Like a Pro

Start with 70 % sensitivity, enable gyroscope for fine‑tune flicks, and reposition fire buttons for your thumb span. Claw‑grip users can shave 100 ms off reaction time versus default two‑thumb play.
