Introduced in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 6: Take Your Heart, the VTOL Jet Scorestreak gives players a powerful new way to control objectives from the air. Released alongside the Persona 5 Royal collaboration, it quickly became one of the season’s standout multiplayer additions. Here’s everything you need to know about unlocking and using it effectively.
What Is the VTOL Jet Scorestreak?
The VTOL Jet is an aerial Scorestreak that releases an initial missile barrage on a location of your choosing, then hovers over the area afterward. While hovering, it automatically engages and fires on any enemy Operators that come into view nearby. This makes it especially strong for holding down objectives in modes like Domination, Hardpoint, or Search and Destroy, where controlling a specific point on the map wins matches.
Unlike a controlled Scorestreak, the VTOL Jet operates on its own once deployed. You call in the strike, choose your target location, and the jet handles the rest, striking first, then loitering to punish anyone who tries to retake the area.
How to Unlock the VTOL Jet
The VTOL Jet is available through the free tiers of the Season 6 “Take Your Heart” Battle Pass. You don’t need to purchase the Premium Battle Pass to earn it; simply progress through the free track by playing matches and completing seasonal missions to reach its unlock tier.
Once unlocked, equip the VTOL Jet from the Scorestreaks menu before entering a multiplayer match.
Best Ways to Use the VTOL Jet
Lock down objectives. Since the VTOL Jet strikes an area and then keeps watch over it, it’s ideal for defending a Hardpoint zone or Domination flag after your team has already secured it.
Time it around pushes. Call in the VTOL Jet just before your team pushes toward an objective. The initial missile barrage can clear out defenders, and the hovering phase discourages the enemy team from immediately trying to retake the position.
Pair it with ground support. The VTOL Jet works best as a supporting Scorestreak rather than your primary elimination tool. Use it to control space while you and your teammates focus on securing kills and objectives on the ground.
Watch your Scorestreak meter. Since it’s earned through score rather than requiring you to survive a life, aggressive objective play and consistent engagements will help you call it in more often throughout a match.
Keep in mind that enemy launchers and anti-air Scorestreaks can destroy the VTOL Jet before it reaches its full potential, so try to deploy it when the opposing team has limited opportunities to shoot it down.
Conclusion
The VTOL Jet is a valuable Scorestreak for players who enjoy objective-based multiplayer. Used at the right moment, it can deny key areas, pressure opponents, and help your team maintain control throughout a match.
