Are you eager to add some flair to your WWE 2K24 matches? Well, there’s a stylish move that can certainly make your wrestler stand out—yanking off those shoulder straps.
It might be purely cosmetic, but let’s face it, it’s pretty cool. If you’re itching to learn how to pull off this maneuver like a pro, here’s the lowdown on removing straps in WWE 2K24.
To unleash the strap-removing prowess of your male wrestlers in WWE 2K24, it’s a simple button combination. Just hold down the right trigger button (R2/RT) and then press down on the D-Pad.
If your chosen wrestler has the ability to shed their straps, they’ll do so in style. However, if they don’t possess this feature, nothing will happen.
Now, why the selective treatment? Well, WWE 2K24 isn’t entirely consistent in granting this ability across all wrestlers. This feature made its debut back in WWE 2K19 and has made a comeback, but not every wrestler sporting shoulder straps on their attire can execute it.
For instance, icons like the Undertaker and rising star Bron Breakker can perform this move, while others like Kevin Nash, despite similar attire, are unable to.
Speculations abound as to why this selectivity exists. Perhaps it’s tied to whether the real-life wrestler has performed the move in the ring. The best way to unravel this mystery? Give it a try yourself.
While I’m still in the process of unlocking wrestlers, I’ve discovered that Bron Breakker, Chad Gable, and the Undertaker are among those who can ditch their straps.
Oh, and a quick tip: you can only pull off this move when your wrestler is strolling around, not when they’re climbing a cell or perched on a turnbuckle.
Now, here’s the catch—despite how awesome it looks, you’re vulnerable while performing this maneuver, especially against a human opponent.
But just like taunts in fighting games, maybe that vulnerability is intentional, a way to show your fearlessness in the face of your adversary. And hey, if they happen to whack you repeatedly with a steel chair, well, you’ll just shrug it off. Probably.
So, there you have it—the secret to removing straps in WWE 2K24: hold down R2/RT and press down on the D-Pad. Give it a shot and let your wrestler strut their stuff in style!
