WWE 2K25has a lot of badges for players to use on The Island. Badges give another layer to building your wrestler and making them better at the moves you like to use. These are passive bonuses, so don’t expect to unlock new skills from them, but they’re just as important as any active move you can learn. Make sure you know what badges you want, because they tend to get really difficult to unlock and level up.
The Island is a cool feature forWWE 2K25, and plenty of players love it for its hub-style world that lets them interact with each other. Despite themajor problem some players have with The Island, it does a lot of things right, including badges. Knowing how to unlock and use badges is the best way to get ahead, so you should make sure you know exactly what to do.
How To Unlock All Badges & Upgrade Them
What Badges Do And How To Level Them
Badges are straightforward to unlock inWWE 2K25. You only need toget badge points and then use them for your badges. To do this, just spend VC on upgrading your character in MyIsland. Keep in mind that this only counts for VC to spend on that character; VC spent on other characters will not add to the points towards a new badge. Generally, it takes about 77 points per next badge, sofarming XP on The Islandwill be a great idea.
It takes about 77 points per next badge, so farming XP on The Island will be a great idea.
After that, you can increase the badge levels bydoing certain tasks and objectives. You can then level that badge up by spending badge points on it. There are three levels per badge, which means it will cost a bit of money and time to level badges all the way up to the third level. Here are all the badges and how to upgrade them:
Taunt the crowd to enter Tank Mode (once per match)
Increases the power of your submissions
Enter Beast Mode after taking heavy damage

The basic idea is that winning matches will fill in tasks for most of the badges, and they fill in concurrently, so you may get through the match part of leveling up just by winning matches. The other part of each badge tends to take time, so it’s a great idea to justfocus on the badges you want to level upand keep yourself to the core four. I like focusing on those that are strong for the build I am using.
How To Equip Badges You’ve Unlocked
Where To Go To Add Badges To Characters
