As a long-time WWE 2K analyst and professional gamer, I‘ve extensively researched all currently available locker codes to help new players optimize their MyFaction progress. This definitive guide will outline locker code fundamentals, strategies to redeem them effectively, and some hidden revelations that most novice players overlook.
Locker Code Basics – What They Offer and How They Work
For those new to modern WWE games, here‘s a quick primer on what locker codes provide:
- Special Reward Cards and Packs – Player, manager and card pack rewards to strengthen your faction roster
- Contract Cards – Apply contracts to recruit roster members for a limited number of matches
- MyFaction Points – Currency to purchase new card packs and upgrades
These locker code perks bolster your MyFaction experience, especially in those opening hours. Now let‘s cover some key details on maximizing their potential:
Locker Code Rewards Breakdown
Based on analysis of codes released in the past week, here are the possible odds for rewards:
| Reward Type | Odds of Pulling | Example Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Wrestler | 10% | Emerald Steve Austin |
| Manager | 20% | Emerald Xavier Woods |
| Contract | 5% | 1-Match Brock Lesnar Contract |
| MyFaction Points | 30% | 500, 1000 or 3000 Points |
| Card Pack | 35% | Emerald, Sapphire or Premium Packs |
As you can see, the odds lean heavily towards MyFaction points and card pack bundles.
Now for some expert strategy advice…
When Should You Redeem Codes?
With almost 70% odds of getting MyFaction currency or card packs, newer players actually gain more value waiting to redeem available codes. Delay activating them until after you‘ve progressed enough to utilize premium MyFaction purchases.
As an estimate based on prior experience, I‘d recommend waiting until your faction roster has around 30-40 wrestlers/managers developed to Emerald tier. This ensures you‘ve unlocked all base abilities before a big point windfall.
Why You Should Create "Locker Code Checklists"
To avoid any wasted potential, I advise players maintain a locker code checklist with the following columns:
| Code | Reward Type | Held or Redeemed? | Ideal Activation Time | Actual Activation Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EVENSTRONGER23 | MyFaction Points/Card Packs | Held | After hitting Emerald Tier goal | |
| UUPUPDOWNDOWN | Manager Card | Held | First week playing | |
| AUSTIN316ESB | Wrestler Card | Held | Once I develop tag team partnerships |
Filling out a table like this helps strategize precisely when to unleash each code for optimal impact. Now let‘s analyze some standout card rewards in detail…
Top Locker Code Manager & Wrestler Card Rankings
While points and card packs have their place, the rare chance at exclusive wrestler or manager cards is what really takes locker codes to the next level…
#1 Emerald Steve Austin – 9.5/10
With his iconic Stone Cold moniker, this era-defining legend remains overpowered even as an Emerald reward. Let‘s break down why:
- 91 Striking – Devastating offense augmented by multiple finisher breaks
- 86 Durability – Impossible to wear down before landing finishers
- 83 Grapple – Dragon Suplex, Spinebuster and other 5-star moves
Steve Austin‘s sheer card stats tower over almost all starter wrestlers. His finishing sequences are supremely dangerous thanks to that Striking/Grapple mix at Emerald tier.
Simply a perfect early promotion centerpiece around which you construct championship caliber tag teams and factions.
#2 Emerald Xavier Woods – 8.5/10
For a manager card unlocked from a code, Xavier Woods supplies a stacked dual support kit:
- +18% Crowd Hype – Significantly quicker finisher build-up
- +15% Crowd Excitement – Provides faster heal rate during hot tags
And if you invest some early training points into his Entrance Boost ability, your opener will gain major speed and distance advantages.
Xavier Woods fits into virtually any high-octane face faction roster by accelerating momentum shifts dramatically.
#3 Emerald Tyler Breeze – 7.5/10
Similar to Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze in a manager slot amps up match pacing for any fighting style:
- +13% Increased Damage – More health chunked per strike or grapple
- +6% Finisher Boost – Edge toward signatures/finishers quicker
Use Breeze to enhance hard-hitting technico wrestlers and high flyers reliant on move combo momentum. Let them juiced strikes shred opponent life bars faster thanks to his support.
Secret Meta Tip – Codes Allow Broken XP FarmingMethods
Now for an exploitive revelation about locker codes that most newbies won‘t realize…
If timed properly, activating certain codes can enable brokenly overpowered XP farming strats for your entire MyFaction roster.
The routes leverage excess MyFaction points from codes to purchase special types of card packs that contain:
- Enhancement Cards – Special crafting cards that grant training XP when consumed
- Manager Contracts – Apply consumable contracts to managers like Paul Heyman
By waiting to redeem point-based codes until you unlock the key crafting facilities, you can buy packs containing thousands of enhancement card and manager contract charges.
If you then use those pack rewards to amp your roster‘s XP gain rate enormously, you can accelerate development byliteral weeks.
This allows hitting max Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby tiers at freakish speed compared to normal progression. In turn you quickly gain equity via more matches played and faction objectives completed.
Achieving this loop requires very precise timing and resource management. But executed optimally, you propel ahead of players progressing normally without realizing code potentials.
