If players want to see the exact description for the Backstabber medal in COD Mobile, they can navigate to their profile achievements list.

• Killed an enemy from behind with an equipped melee weapon

Players must equip a knife or other melee weapon, find an enemy, get behind them, and then press the fire button. This will eliminate the enemy and earn players the Backstabber medal. However, players need five of the medals for Sharpened Skills.

To earn the medals quicker, players can head into an objective-based game mode, like Hardpoint or Domination. This also needs to be on a small map, like Nuketown, Rust, or Cage.
