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 nickname of Call of Duty Mobile appears within the various games and can be used by users of the game to find any other player. For example, a friend of yours might 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 , through the Activision profile or through the Facebook account . On Android devices , access through the latter possibility is often immediate, as the login data is taken directly from those saved on your smartphone / tablet.
In any case, if you are logged in via Facebook , you may also want to change the profile image , since by default the game could take a picture of you , showing it to all the other players (for example, when you arrive on the podium at game end). Since you are here to change your nickname and have a more “well-kept” account, it is also better to 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 have illustrated above and tap on the profile icon on the top left. At this point, press first 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 have changed the profile picture. At level 55 and level 100 you get some avatar frames , which allow you to show other players that you have reached a certain “rank”.
Going back to the name change , the question is a little more complex. In fact, Activision, like some software houses, allows you to make changes limited to the nickname. For example, the latter can only be changed once every three days .
However, the most important “limitation” is that relating to 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 on the top right. The prices are usually as follows: 1.09 euro for 80 CP , 5.49 euro for 400 CP , 10.99 euro for 800 CP , 27.99 euro for 2000 CP , 42.99 euro 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 should buy the package from 800 CP to 10.99 euros and use 500 CP for the name change card . After that, you will have 300 CPs left to exploit for various skins and content.
Alternatively, you might want to buy the Battle Pass , which will guarantee you the acquisition of 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 able to increase you by many levels and provide you with rare skins , while the first is a bit more limited. In any case, as you may have guessed, you must always aim to buy, at least initially, the 800 CP package (10.99 euros).
Having said that, as announced, there is a free method to change your name in-game and is to go through the C : points obtained simply by playing COD Mobile. These can be received in various ways and you will see that by completing the games you will accumulate a good number.
In particular, I suggest you take a look at the mail icon in the upper right, which often provides you with rewards in C, and 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 reach the 1000 C required to take home the name change card for free, simply play a few games and know the right procedure (which is a bit “hidden”, but following the my indications you will not have any problem).
I want to clarify that COD Mobile is a game in constant evolution and that the developers may decide to make changes to this possibility at any moment. Clear? Well, let’s get started.

After explaining where the name is displayed, how to make your profile picture pleasant (without being seen by the other players) and all the limitations of the case, I would say that the time has come to take action and guide you in detail to the change nicknames in COD Mobile .
To proceed, once entered the game, press on the profile icon on the top left, tap on the documents icon and select the pencil icon . At this point, type 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 won’t be charged for anything at this juncture).
A screen will appear asking you to purchase the name change card. Well, obviously Activision “pushes” to use the CPs, 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 ahead without spending money.
Perfect. The game will congratulate you for getting the card . Press, therefore, anywhere on the screen , go back to the name change screen and repeat the procedure I have illustrated previously, 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, now you have successfully managed to change your nickname on COD Mobile. I know: the procedure is a bit “intricate”, but this is the only method provided by Activision to change your username for free (I mean without spending real money, obviously the C must still be used). In fact, you cannot change your nickname in other ways.
