How to unlock Vader in WWE 2K Battlegrounds

It's time! It's Vader time!

On February 17, four new wrestlers were added to WWE 2K Battlegrounds, Sonya Deville, Doink the Clown, ‘Mr. Perfect’ Curt Hennig, and former WCW World Champion Vader. The man known as ‘Big Van’ Vader was a force to be reckoned with in Japan and in the United States, regardless of whether it was in WCW or what was known as the WWF. Now, Vader hits the ring in WWE 2K Battlegrounds, but before you can use him, you’re going to have to unlock him.

How to unlock Vader in WWE 2K Battlegrounds

Players looking to unlock Vader will need to first go to the Main Menu and then select the Superstars tab on the screen’s upper-right hands side. Then, scroll through the list of unlocked and locked wrestlers with the controller until Vader is found.

Vader can be purchased either with Bucks or Golden Bucks. 2K Battlegrounds players could spend either 9000 Bucks or 225 Golden Bucks. Golden Bucks can be purchased with real cash, but if you don’t want to spend money on the game, you don’t have to. Just get your matches in, and complete some challenges, and you should be on your way towards getting the 9000 Bucks needed to unlock Vader.

Two alternate attires can also be purchased for Vader. However, you won’t be able to get any of those until Vader has been unlocked.
