What Badges Do And How To Level Them

Badges are straightforward to unlock in WWE 2K25. You only need to get 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, so farming XP on The Island will 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 by doing 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:

The basic idea is that winning matches will fill in tasks for most of the badges, and they fill in concurrently, so you can 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 just focus on the badges you want to level up and 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
