How to obtain rename cards in Apex Legends Mobile
There are only two ways to get rename cards in Apex Legends Mobile.
- The game occasionally gives them out as rewards. You are given one as a beginning player, so make sure to use it wisely.
- The only other method we found was paying 299 Syndicate Gold for one. Syndicate Gold is the in-game currency that you buy for real money.
