All WWE 2K25 Badges and How to Unlock Them

WWE 2K25 now has badges that add extra power and special passive moves to your characters. Adding badges brings a whole new dimension to how we want to build our characters. We can now get even more creative with our approach in the ring and design our characters with specific badges in mind. 

Today, we are going to go through all WWE 2K25 badges and how to unlock them. We will tell you exactly what each badge does and how you can get the badges in the first place. By the end of this article, you will have some great ideas for the kind of build you want to pursue when designing your dream WWE superstar. 

What Are Badges In WWE 2K25? 

If you are familiar with any modern sports game, you will have an understanding of the Badge system. It is similar to Badges in NBA 2K or X factors in Madden or NHL. Badges give a passive buff to specific players that activate unique powers in certain situations. 

For the first time in a WWE game, we are seeing a Badge system introduced. 2K has come up with a great way to make earning the badges fun and rewarding. The badges give you incredible power-ups from a simple increase to climbing speed to fun advantages like your fourth successful taunt instantly granting you a finisher. 

There are 45 badges in WWE 2K25. 11 of these are specific to MyFaction mode. This list will look specifically at the 39 badges that are available for your custom superstar. 

How To Unlock Badges In WWE 2K25

In WWE 2K25, you get four different badge slots per character. You will start with only one Badge Slot, and you can unlock more slots as you progress. You will unlock all four badge slots once your characters reach max rank.

You will be able to unlock new badges by spending your Badge Points. It takes roughly 77 points to unlock a new badge. Once you have unlocked the badge, you can start to complete the challenges to progress through the badge levels. 

You can get more Badge Points as you spend more VC (Virtual Currency) on your character. VC and Badge Points are character-specific, so you will have to level up each character to unlock badges specifically for them. 

Each badge has three levels to climb through. You have to complete specific challenges to progress through each badge, which we will outline below. You can grind out the challenges for different badges simultaneously, so keep this in mind when heading into the ring in The Island.
