Remember when you thought 'Xx_DarkAssassin_xX' was the coolest PUBG name ever? 😂 Yeah, we've all been there. As a battle royale veteran rocking this game since 2017, I totally get why you'd wanna scrub that ancient username. Good news: PUBG's name change system is smoother than looting a military base solo! But hold up – you'll need this guide because those Rename Cards can be trickier than spotting a ghillie-suit camper in Miramar.

🔑 The Golden Ticket: PUBG Rename Cards

Listen up, recruits! Changing your identity requires a Rename Card, which costs 180 UC (that's PUBG's premium currency). Here's the real tea:

  • 🎁 One-time freebie: Hit level 10? Congrats! Check your inventory – that card's probably chilling there since 2023!

  • 💸 Buying more: No free lunch after your first rename. Gotta cough up 180 UC per card

  • ⚠️ Old trick DEAD: Forget those "returning player" free cards – that system got vaulted like a rusty SCAR-L
