New Call of duty:Mobile events are always exciting, but the news of a “free Mythic gun” has raised many questions among players. The truth is that no valuable item in this game comes without effort. To get a free Mythic gun in Call of Duty: Mobile, you need a long-term strategic plan to reach your goal within the set time frame. This is not a short path — it requires a full commitment to completing weekly tasks.
The Reality of the Free Mythic Gun Event
Under the Events section, in the Themed Events tab, an event is now available that lets you earn a specific Mythic gun. To unlock it, players must collect a total of 500 Sigils. The event runs for 90 days (about 12 weeks) and ends on December 4.
The important thing to know is that if you fail to collect all 500 Sigils before the deadline, you can purchase the remaining shards with CP — though the cost is similar to the Secret Caches system. You can also exchange your Sigils for a Trial (limited-time use of the gun), but it is recommended to focus on the permanent unlock instead.
Crunching the Numbers: Grind Strategy
To reach 500 Sigils, you need to know exactly how much time to invest. Based on the weekly tasks, you will make progress by completing the following:
- Playing 50 matches in each mode (Mode).
- Spending 400 minutes of active time in matches (roughly 7 hours per week, or about 1 hour per day).
- Completing tasks from the new Gleaming Front event.
On average, you can earn more than 50 Sigils per week. With 12 weeks in the event window, over 600 Sigils will be available in total — meaning you can even skip more than 100 Sigils along the way and still unlock the gun.
Optimal Strategy to Reach 500 Sigils
If you don’t have much time to play, you need to play smart:
- Prioritize the 50 matches: Playing 50 matches per week (for example, in Free-for-All, where each match lasts about 2 minutes) is much faster than grinding out 400 minutes of playtime.
- Manage friendly matches: Make sure to play the event’s featured modes like Gleaming Front, since they offer valuable side rewards such as the Sila skin.
- Daily login: Never skip the daily login rewards, as the crates you receive grant between 1 and 5 Sigils.
Along the way, every 100-Sigil milestone rewards you with a 3-day Trial of a Mythic gun, giving you the chance to test different weapons before making your final choice.

Conclusion
Earning a free Mythic gun in Call of Duty: Mobile is a 90-day marathon. You cannot unlock this gun in the first week. Success in this event requires consistency in playing (50 matches per week) and smart side-task management. If you stick to the plan, you can add this valuable reward to your armory in about 10 weeks. Start planning your grind today, so you can watch your Mythic gun unlock in December.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can buy the remaining shards with CP, but it’s recommended to follow the grind plan so you won’t need to spend money at all.
Mathematically, you can skip the 400 minutes if you complete the other tasks, but it’s advised to follow all tasks for guaranteed and faster progress.
