Just like with all new weapons in CoD Mobile, players can unlock the gun for free. The Argus will get added to your inventory once you reach Tier 21 in the Season 8 Battle Pass.

There are two versions of the Battle Pass in CoD Mobile, the free version and the Premium Pass. The Argus can be unlocked through the free version itself negating the usage of CP to purchase the pass.

To advance through the tiers in CoD Mobile, you need to earn Battle Pass XP. This can be received simply through playing multiplayer or BR matches. Another way to get them is through daily and seasonal missions.

Once you have unlocked the Argus in COD Mobile Season 8, here are the basic stats of the weapon. Being a shotgun, it excels at close range but sets itself apart by being more accurate.

Damage: 28×8
Fire Rate: 28
Accuracy: 60
Mobility: 81
Range: 38
Control: 42

Best loadouts for the Shotgun

While the weapon has impressive base stats, to get the most out of it, you need to have a good loadout. Here are two options for you.

Option 1: Better control

Shotguns like the Argus are deadly at close range, but if you miss a single shot, the low fire rate will easily allow your enemy to take you out. Thus, having better control over the weapon is important, which is where the following loadout comes in handy:

Red Dot Sight 1
BO Grip
BO Stock
BO Mag
BO Lever

Option 2: Better mobility

If you think that you have good aim then mobility is an important factor in shotguns. You need to be quick around the map to get closer to enemies and take them out. Here’s the ideal loadout to do that:

Light Barrel (Short)
Outlaw Grip
No Stock
Outlaw Mag
OWC Laser – Tactical
