How To Unlock All Showcase Items Quickly
The Showcase in WWE 2K25 can take 3-4 hours off your life if you try to achieve 100% completion. However, if your main goal is simply to unlock all the showcase items, here are some tips to save time.
- Set the difficulty to easy: While playing at a higher difficulty awards you more VC per match, it’s not worth it if you just want to unlock new players and arenas quickly. Playing at easy will also provide you with all the showcase rewards, so keep the difficulty low to make the process simple.
- Secondly, as soon as the match starts, look at the objectives and try to knock them out as fast as you can. (You can see the objectives by pausing the game, and the game will guide you on how to do them.) Remember, some of the objectives are timed, which means you’ll need to complete them as soon as they pop up.
- Finally, skip all the cutscenes in between, and as soon as you complete the match, move on to the next one.
By focusing solely on the objectives, you’ll complete the mode quickly and get all the gas. While this can get monotonous, the rewards will more than make up for the grind.
