Names are big inSplatoon, as they are often the first thing players notice in multiplayer. After seeing so many cool names in the game, a player may feel inspired to change theirs to something else. Luckily for them,changing the namethat appears on the Splashtag is relatively easy.
How To Change Nickname
There is one prerequisite a player must accomplish before they can get to change their nickname. Before they can access a way to change their name, they mustcomplete theSplatoon 3tutorial.To do this means fighting in one Tuft Battle.
One the tutorial is complete, the nickname can be changed. To change the nickname,go first to the Battle Lobby. In the Battle Lobby, head to thescreen next to the elevatorand click on it. Clicking on it will take the player to a menu with options like Edit Splashtag, Get Stuff, Battle Logs, and such. The option to click on for name changing, though, isChange Nickname.
Things To Keep In Mind Before Changing Nickname
Nicknames can be up to10 characters long. Certain words are prohibited, like words considered profane. Some players go through special efforts to get a profane word through in a nickname, though that is not recommended because they will be risking a ban if any other players report them.Anyone can report a player’s name by justexamining the character in Splatsville.
When a nickname changes, so does the ID number. Also,Splatoon 3does not let its players change their nicknames whenever they wanton a whim. Once a nickname is switched then the player will have to wait30 daysbefore they can change their name again.
Remember that nicknames are just one element in a Splashtag. The tag can becustomized through titles, banners, and badge collecting. Unlike names, banners, titles, and badges can be changed anytime. Between nicknames and all else that go into a Splashtag, there is a lot of room to personalize the player’s character.
