In this guide, we will show you how you can unlock the new Katana operator skill in Call of Duty: Mobile. When it comes to mobile gaming, COD Mobile is all the rage these days with plenty of updates and new skins and items getting released every week. Just recently we saw how to unlock Purifier H2O as part of this event series, and today we go through a brand new operator skill.
Once unlocked, you will be able to slice, dice and stylishly take down your enemies with this katana. To unlock, you will have to complete a few challenges which you can find under the Katana Kill challenges. Like most other operator skills, you will be able to add katana to any loadout and use it between matches.

How to Unlock Katana in COD Mobile
To unlock this operator skill, you will have to complete 10 tasks in COD Mobile. These tasks range from playing matches in different modes, to killing a specific number of enemies using a different operator skill, to just logging in daily for 5 days. Other than the main katana skill, you also get to unlock three other rewards. More on that later!
We have listed down all the tasks you need to complete before you can start using the katana skill in your matches:
Task | Challenge | Points |
