How to get Makarov in COD Mobile

The Makarov doesn't feature in the Season 4 Battle Pass which means you need to complete a seasonal challenge in order to obtain it. The challenge you need to complete is known as Sidearm Scuffle where you can also unlock a Silver Crate Coupon and a blueprint for the .50 GS.

To unlock the pistol, complete all of the tasks by eliminating players with pistols. Once complete, you can use the Makarov in a loadout and customise it using the Gunsmith.

COD Mobile Makarov weapon stats

Without any attachments equipped, the Makarov is still a solid option to consider when searching for a powerful secondary weapon. Here's a closer look at the base stats:

Damage: 30
Accuracy: 93
Range: 40
Fire Rate: 42
Mobility: 115
Control: 81

Despite its lack of damage, its control and accuracy shine through meaning you can land your shots with ease. Choose some attachments to bolster the damage and there's every chance the Makarov becomes part of the ever-changing meta.

Is the Makarov good in COD Mobile?

Judging by early feedback, the Makarov is proving popular in COD Mobile thanks to the ability to equip Akimbo and a huge magazine allowing you to eliminate multiple enemies in quick succession. We'll have to wait and see if players call for a nerf because of its overpowered nature.
