Highlights
- WWE 2K24 Patch 1.08 adds new wrestlers, entrances, and hardcore weapons like a barbed wire bat and light tubes.
- The ECW Punk Pack DLC brings back CM Punk and ECW legends.
- The update also includes improvements to Super Finisher Visual Effects, stability, and various game modes and features.
The latest WWE 2K24 update has added several new wrestlers, updated entrances, and other technical tweaks, but something that has taken players by surprise is the introduction of some classic hardcore weapons. WWE 2K24 Patch 1.08 went live earlier this week, and with it came many changes that fans had been asking for since the base game launched in March. This includes updates to the Creation Suite and MyRise modes, as well as new entrances for wrestlers like Wolfgang and Mark Coffey.
Of course, this patch wasn’t the only new content WWE 2K24 players were treated to this week, as the long-awaited ECW Punk Pack DLC is now live as well. The most talked-about aspect of this first WWE 2K24 DLC pack was the return of CM Punk to a WWE-licensed video game after nearly a decade, but there are also several other new playable characters hailing from the fondly-remembered Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion of old.

WWE 2K24 already offers players a variety of blunt instruments to brutalize their opponents with in no-disqualification matches, and now the game’s latest update has added some more. As reported by VCG, the newly-released WWE 2K24 ECW Punk Pack includes three new weapons that weren’t included in any of the patch notes for it or the 1.08 update: a barbwire-wrapped baseball bat, a door, and a florescent light tube. Wrestling game YouTube channel Smacktalks highlighted these new weapons in their latest video covering the new additions brought by the recent WWE 2K24 update.
WWE 2K24 New Weapons
- Door
- Light Tube
- Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
First off is the door, which is a simple white office door that functions in largely the same way as WWE 2K24’s existing table weapons. Players can beat their opponents with the door (causing its white paint to chip away in the process), or prop it up next to a ring post and smash their opponent through it with a Table Finisher. Light Tubes work like kendo sticks, shattering after the player uses them and giving WWE 2K24 DLC character The Sandman access to his White Russian Leg Sweep attack. Finally, the barbed wire bat functions more or less identically to its regular counterpart.
These new WWE 2K24 weapons can be accessed by assigning them to the Weapon wheel in the Match Options before a no-disqualification match, allowing them to show up when the player reaches under the ring.
