COD: Mobile offers a multitude of seasonal, daily, and other such challenges in the game that players can tackle by completing the respective tasks to earn some unique rewards.

Hipfire is one of the default shooting modes available in COD: Mobile. When you don't use the scope attachment or aim down sight, aka ADS, while using a weapon, that is called hip-firing.

In simple words, firing a weapon without aiming down sight is called hipfire. If you have been playing COD: Mobile, you might have unconsciously used hipfire in close encounters to deal with enemies.

Though the technical term makes it a little confusing to many players as they think it is something special fire mode. But on the contrary, the hipfire is a default fire mode that players perform when they don't use ADS.
