![]() ![]() Naturally, this being a 2K game, you can, of course, spend real money to unlock everything quicker, but WHY has it even bothered this time? It would cost you around £120 / $150 to buy enough currency to get all the wrestlers and outfits, so there’s no point in even going down the usual “typical 2K, trying to make us pay even more” routine this time nobody in their right mind would be daft enough to even entertain that idea, so these ‘micro’ transactions are a non-starter, frankly.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) That may not sound too bad, but each wrestler also has a few alternate costumes which are also unlockable, meaning the total cost to unlock absolutely everything is 741,000 Battle Bucks. The problem is – and yes, we did the maths because we’re just that dedicated to you lovely readers – it costs a total of 276,000 Battle Bucks to unlock everyone, and after a solid weekend of play (during which time we finished the entire campaign mode) we’d only earned 66,000 of them. In a good match you can get 250 or so Battle Bucks unlocking a premium superstar like Triple H requires 12,000 of them, but you can earn bonus Battle Bucks by levelling up, completing daily tasks and the like. The store runs on Battle Bucks, an in-game currency that Battlegrounds rewards you with as you play matches. Most of these superstars can be unlocked through an in-game store, but WHY has 2K made it such an enormous grind to get them all? Even Drew McIntyre, the current WWE Champion, has to be unlocked before you can use him. Other big names who didn’t make the cover and aren’t available from the start include Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Hulk Hogan and Becky Lynch. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Andre the Giant? Ronda Rousey? Asuka? All locked. Half the characters on the cover aren’t actually playable right away. ![]() WHY is only 30% of the roster available when you first start the game? 2K Sports boasts that 70 WWE Superstars are included on day one (with another 60 or so coming later down the line), but when you boot up the software for the first time you’ve only got a grand total of 20 to choose from. Unfortunately, this word was simply “why?”, and in true WWE promo fashion, we’re going to shout it in capital letters every time we say it so we can sound all cool and stuff. In trying to make us feel like a WWE superstar, WWE 2K Battlegrounds also resulted in us developing our own one-word catchphrase, one we regularly shouted as we played the game. If you’re so well-loved by the fans that you can get a single word ‘over’ with the crowd – Ric Flair’s “woooooo”, Steve Austin’s “what”, Daniel Bryan’s “yes” – you’ve clearly earned legend status. The one-word catchphrase is a mythical achievement in professional wrestling. ![]()
