What does ADS mean in Call of Duty?

From NS (nice shot) to HS (headshot), Call of Duty has a lot of acronyms that can be tricky to understand. Luckily, some terms are interchangeable with other shooter games, ADS being one such example.

The meaning of ADS in Call of Duty

There are two meanings for ADS; the first is for the console and PC version of Call of Duty, which means “aim down sights“. You’re not always aiming in first-person or third-person shooters, so shooting without aiming is called hip firing. Since you are firing from where you are holding your weapon, which is near the hip, and you are not really aiming, just firing in the direction you are looking.

To aim down your sights, you need to press the aim button which changes the view to looking through your scope or down your sights. So, you’re aiming down your sights.

ADS in Call of Duty Mobile

ADS means the same thing in Call of Duty Mobile, but th. Players can find ADS in the game’s settings which are usually shown to the player as they go through the tutorial. Players can choose between ADS and HIP in the Control section for each weapon class.

Players can aim down sights when they hold the aim button while using submachine guns or rifles if they’ve enabled ADS. If you have hipfire enabled, then holding the aim button will allow the player to zoom in from the hip. The player can shoot more accurately with this method than with a standard hipfire, but not as accurate as with a down sight. Some players would rather use hipfire because it’s much faster than regular aiming.

Should I use Hipfire or ADS in Call of Duty Mobile?

There are benefits to using ADS and Hipfire in Call of Duty Mobile, but we prefer using hipfire. Shotgun fire normally has a wide spread when firing at targets, so even while aiming from the hip you’ll be pretty accurate.

Since you’re trying to use any weapon as quickly as possible, machine guns are normally used with hipfire, so wasting time aiming down the site isn’t the best option.
