Call of Duty: Vanguard: How to Change Your Calling Card and Emblem

How to display the perks earned alongside your progression as a player.


If you've spent time in Call of Duty multiplayer over the years, you know that progression means everything. The same can be said of the newest addition to the series, Call of Duty: Vanguard. Completing challenges, earning new equipment, and clearing new ranks is as exciting as playing the actual game. It's fun to customize your online profile, so everyone can see what you've accomplished. If you've just jumped into the multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: Vanguard, you're probably wondering how you can further customize and edit your digital persona. One great way to do so is by using Calling Cards.

Calling Cards are the colorful banners with intriguing artwork that you can see by any player's name when you view their profile. The banner also pops up when players complete special objectives in-game. You can't use your own external images for Calling Cards, but Call of Duty: Vanguard has a number of different ones to try. Some are available at the onset of joining multiplayer to play, and many are unlocked via Battle Pass tiers or mission progression. If you happen to unlock a Call of Duty: Vanguard Calling Card you enjoy and want to use, here's how you can change it up.

If you want to customize your Calling Card in Call of Duty: Vanguard, first head into the multiplayer mode in Vanguard or the Zombies mode. Go to the main menu and look at the top of the screen to find the Barracks tab. Navigate to the Barracks menu, then look for the Customize menu. Go there to customize a number of different player progression symbols: Calling Cards, clan tags, gestures, titles, emblems, and more.

To specifically change your Calling Card, select that specific section in the Customize menu. You'll see a list of all the Calling Cards you have available. This includes those you have unlocked through progression, those that come available as part of the main game, and those you can still earn with additional progress.

When you find the Calling Card you want to equip, simply select it. You will then set it as your active Calling Card. Anything that you own can be selected, and you can change it any time you'd like when the menus are accessible. Each time you visit, look for Calling Cards denoted with a green emblem, as those mean they are new since your last trip to equip a new one.

Keep playing to unlock more Calling Cards, and keep an eye out for new ones to be added to the collection overall.
