The first earnable WWE 2K24 Amethyst Card is finally here. The Live Event Rewards Amethyst Umaga will be obtainable this May, but the requirements to unlock it are a bit steep. Find out more in our report below.

WWE 2K24's first MyFACTION Amethyst Card is here

Amethyst Umaga Live Event Reward

The first earnable MyFACTION Amethyst card arrives in WWE 2K24 in the form of the Samoan Destroyer, Umaga. As a playable character, Umaga boasts a strong 86 OVR rating in the game mode. This puts him at the lower end of the Amethyst cards in terms of OVR ratings, but his rating will be the highest in the game mode for at least a week.

The Powerhouse card has three sideplate slots and has the Resiliency Payback, which will honestly make matches much more bearable giving players a “second life” in matches. The Amethyst Umaga also comes with the following badges:

  • Silver Slippery Eel – makes it easier to kick out of pins
  • Silver Swiftness – increases movement speed
  • Silver Heavy Handed – ending combos with a heavy attack stuns enemies more
  • Gold Sting Like a Bee – increased light and heavy strikes damage
  • Diamond Pain Train – increased running attack damage

Edit: As we were about to publish this article, we also noticed that two new Live Events featuring Rey Mysterio appeared in the Live Events schedule when the servers reset. The “Betraying Re – The Batista Chapter” unlocks an 86 OVR Amethyst Rey Mysterio '06 card, and the “Betraying Rey – The Dirty Dom Chapter” unlocks an 86 OVR Amethyst “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio card.

With these additional cards, players will now have access to three Amethyst cards. We called Umaga the “first” earnable MyFACTION card, but that is no longer the case. While Umaga was revealed first, players will be able to unlock Rey Mysterio and Dirty Dom first as their Live Events will be coming earlier than Umaga's.

How to Unlock the Live Event Umaga Amethyst Card

As you can see, however, players will need to earn Umaga the hard way. Apart from being a four-step Apex-tier reward, the Live Event also requires the player to win a 6-man tag team match using three Ruby Live Event Reward cards from previous Live Events. These Live Events are also expiring in the next couple of days, so if you're seriously considering getting Umaga, you'll have to double time.

Getting these pre-requisite cards is not an easy task, either, as they all also require additional cards to be unlocked.

As you can see, players will have to grind pack-specific cards to unlock the prerequisite Ruby Cards. Not only that, but these prerequisite cards come from entirely different packs, so players need to invest a lot of time or money to get them unlocked. Our suggestion is to directly buy the cards from the Card Market, instead of trying to unlock the cards via the booster packs.

Once you have the three prerequisite Ruby cards, you'll then have to win the “Faction Focus: The Royal Families – Decisive Battle” Live Event one to four times before they can certainly unlock the Umaga Amethyst card.

That's a lot of steps for a single Amethyst card, but the powerful Umaga is definitely worth grinding for! With Diamond Pain Train, three sideplate slots, and the Resiliency Payback all make Umaga a powerful wrestler to use in the game. I, for one, will be using him for Faction Wars, that's for sure.
