Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to change your name on Call of Duty Mobile , I think you may be interested in learning more about this possibility.

Well, the Call of Duty Mobile nickname appears within the various games and can be used by game users to find any other player. For example, a friend of yours may ask you to add you to the Activision title and play with you. Usually, the nickname appears together with your profile picture .

On first launch, the game allows the user to log in as a guest , either through the Activision profile or through the Facebook account . On Android devices , access through this last possibility is often immediate, as the login data are taken directly from those saved on your smartphone / tablet.

However, if you are logged in via Facebook , you may want to change your profile picture as well , as by default the game may take a picture of you , showing it to all other players (for example, when you arrive on the podium at end of game). Since you are here to change your nickname and have a more “curated” account, you should also learn how to change the image associated with your profile on COD Mobile.

To do this, start the game, log in in one of the ways I explained earlier and tap on the profile icon in the top left. At this point, first presses on the document icon and then on the profile icon . In this way, all available avatars will appear on the screen .

So choose the icon you like best and tap the SHOW button . Perfect, now you’ve changed your profile picture. At level 55 and level 100 you receive some avatar frames , which allow you to show other players that you have reached a certain “rank”.

Returning to the name change , the question is a bit more complex. In fact, Activision, like all software houses, allows you to make limited changes to the nickname. For example, the latter can only be changed once every three days .

However, the most important “limitation” is that relating to the C / CP points . In fact, in order to change the nickname within the game, it is necessary to have a name card exchange , which can be purchased inside at a cost of 500 CP or 1,000 C .

In case you don’t know, CPs are points that can be obtained through microtransactions . To access the latter, just press the + icon at the top right. Prices are usually as follows: € 1.09 for 80 CP , € 5.49 for 400 CP , € 10.99 for 800 CP , € 27.99 for 2000 CP , € 42.99 for 4000 CP and 109 , 99 euros for 8000 CP .

These points can also be used to purchase interesting skins and content from the COD Mobile store , accessible via the appropriate button located at the bottom left of the main screen. Put simply, to change the name, you would have to buy the 800 CP package for 10.99 euros and use 500 CP for the name change card . After that, you will have 300 CP left to use for various skins and content.

Alternatively, you may want to consider purchasing the Battle Pass , which will guarantee you to acquire CP points as you level up . There are two options available: Premium Pass (cost of 560 CP) and Premium Pass Plus (cost of 1280 CP). The second is also capable of increasing you many levels and providing you with rare skins , while the first is a bit more limited. In any case, as you may have guessed, you should always aim to buy, at least initially, the 800 CP package (€ 10.99).

Having said that, as announced, there is a free method to change your name in-game and that is to go through the C : points obtainable simply by playing COD Mobile. These can be received in various ways and you will see that by completing the games you will accumulate quite a number of them.

In particular, I recommend that you take a look at the mail icon at the top right, which often gives you rewards in C, and at the Battle Pass section on the left (the Battle Pass also has a free version that allows you to get points C).

In fact, users often forget to redeem the rewards on these screens. In any case, in general, to get to the 1000 C required to take the name change card home for free, just play a few games and know the right procedure (which is a bit “hidden”, but following the my directions you will not have any problem).

I want to clarify that COD Mobile is a constantly evolving game and that developers may decide to make changes to this possibility at any moment. Clear? Well, let’s get started.

How to change your name on Call of Duty Mobile

After explaining where the name appears, how to make your profile picture pleasant (without being seen by other players) and all the limitations of the case, I would say that it is time to take action and guide you in detail to the change of nickname in COD Mobile .

To proceed, once you have entered the game, press on the profile icon at the top left, tap on the documents icon and select the pencil icon . At this point, type in the new nickname you want to use (with a maximum length of 14 characters ) and press the CHANGE key .

Now, the game will ask you to purchase the name change card . Press, therefore, on the BUY button and then on the 500 CP button (don’t worry, you will not be charged anything at this juncture).

A screen will appear inviting you to purchase the name change card. Well, obviously Activision “pushes” to use the CP, but in reality just tap on the C icon , select the amount of name change cards to buy and press the BUY button , to go on without spending money.

Perfect. The game will compliment you on getting the card . Press, then, anywhere on the screen , go back to the name change screen and repeat the procedure I explained above, typing the nickname again and pressing the CHANGE button . At this point, the game will let you make the change , warning you only if you have chosen a name already used by someone else.

Great, you are now successfully able to change your nickname on COD Mobile. I know: the procedure is a bit “complicated”, but this is the only method Activision provides to change your username for free (I mean without spending real money, obviously the Cs must be used anyway). In fact, it is not possible to change your nickname in any other way.

In conclusion, since you are interested in Activison’s game, I would recommend that you take a look at my guide to the best Call of Duty , in which you may find some interesting ideas for your next sessions.
