Redeeming a code in a WWE game used to feel like a secret handshake. You’d find a string of text in a manual or a random tweet, punch it in, and suddenly you had a new legend on your roster. It's different now. With WWE 2K24 locker codes active status changing almost weekly, the hunt for free MyFACTION cards and Virtual Currency (VC) has become a bit of a strategic mini-game in itself. Honestly, if you aren't checking the boards every few days, you’re probably missing out on the best pulls.
Most people just want the VC. I get it. Grinding matches for hours just to afford one Deluxe Pack is exhausting. But the real value usually hides in the Persona cards. These aren't just for the MyFACTION mode; some of them actually unlock versions of wrestlers you can use across the entire game, like that Mattel "Elite" John Cena that had everyone scrambling last year.
What’s Actually Working Right Now?
Let’s get straight to it. 2K is notoriously stingy with how long they keep these codes live. Some last months, others vanish in 48 hours. Here is the current state of play for the locker room.
HESEESYOU2K24
This is a weird one. It’s been active for a long time and gives you an Amethyst Night Bird Manager card. Managers are often overlooked, but the stat boosts they provide in MyFACTION are the difference between a five-minute squash and a fifteen-minute struggle.

CANYOUSMELL
A classic nod to The Rock. This code usually bags you a Faction Wars Boss Free Agent card for both The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. You also get a Faction Wars Ticket and a Heat Series 1 Pack. Since Free Agent cards have limited uses, save these for the higher-tier Faction Wars stages where you really need the heavy hitters.
HEADOFTHETABLE
Acknowledge him. This one gives you two Legends Series Packs and a Sapphire Roman Reigns Free Agent card. It's basically a starter kit for anyone just jumping into the mode late in the game's cycle.
SECURETHEBAG
You’ll want this for the 7,500 VC. It’s one of the few "currency-only" codes that doesn't seem to have a hard expiration date yet, though that could change the second 2K26 marketing kicks into high gear.
How to Redeem Without the Headaches
You’d think it would be simple. It mostly is, but I’ve seen plenty of people get "Invalid Code" errors because they tried to do it from the main menu. You can't.
First, you have to actually enter the MyFACTION tile. If it's your first time, you’ll have to sit through a brief tutorial and open some starter packs. Don't worry, it's fast. Once you're on the MyFACTION home screen, look for the "Live" tab. There’s a dedicated "Locker Codes" button right there.
A quick tip: capitalization doesn't always matter, but the hyphens definitely do. If a code has a dash in it, type it exactly as seen. Also, if you redeem a pack, it doesn't open automatically. You have to back out and go to the "Store" tab, then find "Unopened Packs." I've talked to players who thought they got scammed because their rewards didn't pop up immediately. They’re just sitting in your virtual inventory waiting to be ripped open.
The "Persona Card" Obsession
The community spent months obsessing over Persona cards. Why? Because for years, 2K locked the coolest alternate attires and retro models inside MyFACTION. You couldn't use them in Universe Mode or Exhibition. That changed—partially—with 2K24.
When you see a locker code for a "Persona" card, like the ones released during the Game Awards or WrestleMania season, it means that character becomes playable everywhere. This is why codes like YOURSTORY2K24 (now expired, unfortunately) were such a big deal. It gave you the action figure version of Cena for your entire game.
Keep an eye on social media during "Premium Live Events" (the old PPVs). Usually, around SummerSlam or the Royal Rumble, 2K drops a code that includes a new Persona card. If you miss that window, you're usually stuck waiting for them to show up in the Oddities market, which is a brutal grind.
Why Do Codes Expire So Fast?
It feels unfair when you find a code for 20,000 VC only to realize it expired yesterday. I've been there. 2K uses these codes to drive "engagement spikes." They want you logging in during specific weekends—like when a big DLC pack drops or during a real-world WWE event.
Basically, they want the game to feel "live." If codes lasted forever, there’d be no urgency to check back in. It's a classic FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) tactic.
Common "Expired" Traps to Avoid
Don't waste your time with these. They’ve been cycled out of the system:
- WRESTLEMANIAXL: Gone.
- WWEDRAFT2K24: Expired shortly after the actual WWE Draft.
- CASHINGITIN: This 15,000 VC code was great while it lasted, but it's dead now.
Maximizing Your Freebies
If you’re serious about building a top-tier deck without spending real money, locker codes are only one piece of the puzzle. You should be hitting the "Daily Log-in" rewards too. Even if you don't have time to play a match, just booting up MyFACTION and claiming the daily reward adds up. By day five of a streak, you’re usually getting Loyalty Tokens or decent packs.
Also, check the "Live Events" section. Sometimes, 2K requires you to use a specific card you got from a locker code to participate in a high-reward match. For instance, they might release a locker code for a Gold-tier card, and that specific card is the "entry ticket" for a match that rewards an Amethyst or Diamond card.
It’s all connected. The locker code gets you in the door, but the Live Events are where you actually build the powerhouse roster.
Moving Forward With Your Roster
The best thing you can do right now is load up the game and punch in SECURETHEBAG and HEADOFTHETABLE if you haven't already. Those are the most stable "active" codes left in the ecosystem.
Beyond that, set a notification for the official WWE 2K X (formerly Twitter) account. They don't announce every code there—sometimes they hide them in the corner of a screen during a YouTube video from creators like Smacktalks—but it’s your best bet for the big ones.
Once you’ve redeemed your codes, head to the "Proving Grounds" or "Faction Wars" to test out your new cards. Faction Wars is particularly good for earning MfP (MyFACTION Points), which you can use to buy specific cards from the Token Market rather than gambling on packs. Get those codes in before the developers shift all their attention toward the next yearly release.
