The Sniper on nicknamed weapons

The Name Tag allows a player to give an item of their choosing a permanent custom name. As it is a tool, it can only be used once. If a stock item is renamed (40 characters or less), the player will "find" a new version of the stock item which resides in the backpack like an unlock item. The player can then choose to equip the item with either the custom or the original name through the character setup menu. However, if any item found through the drop system is renamed, the player will not have the option to choose to use the unnamed item. Renaming an item does not affect its ability to be traded.

Name tags can drop randomly and be found in crates as well as being purchased from the store.

It is important to note that items be renamed such that they appear to be rare items like a "Community Backburner" or an "Unusual Soldier's Stash". Be aware that scammers may attempt to trade these "rare" items for multiple hats or other rare items. Remember that named items have quotation marks around the name and the name will not be not colored correctly for the item type(See Rarity for a list of colors that are used for actual rare items).

A player's renamed weapon can be seen when Inspect Target is used on them and they are carrying the renamed weapon.
