How to change nickname for free in Free Fire MAX

Changing one's nickname in Free Fire MAX can be a relatively costly affair as it requires the use of 390 diamonds which is infeasible in most cases. This is why players always search for free alternatives to change their in-game nickname.

For most, the Name Change Card offered through various events or available in the guild token section of the store has been the go-to alternative. However, this does require the expenditure of a few diamonds, at the very least.

As part of the ongoing peak day Diwali celebrations, Garena is offering players an amazing opportunity to claim a free Name Change Card as part of the recently added playtime event. Any player that obtains this reward can change their nickname in Garena's battle royale title.

Step 3: A Name Change dialog box will appear, where you may enter a new name.

Garena has set a few limitations for name selection as it cannot consist of more than 12 characters and must include a restricted word.

Step 4: Select the Name Change Card to complete the procedure. Alternatively, you can spend 390 diamonds to make the changes.

Upon confirming the change, the card will be used, and your name within Free Fire MAX will be changed. You must be careful while doing so as you would require diamonds to make any corrections or further changes.
