How to unlock the WWE Veteran achievement in WWE 2K18 - Definitive Guide
This is story related
For those of you wondering just when the end of the main story is, it's the first weekly show after Wrestlemania, the game will make you cut a promo. Once you come backstage, Vince McMahon will speak to you and once you're done talking to him the achievement will pop
Now for the tips. The game isn't difficult (especially if you've turned all the sliders in your favour) but there are a few tricky areas that; Money in the bank and Royal Rumble.
MONEY IN THE BANK:
The AI will all rush you if you even set up the ladder in the middle, however if one the AI sets it up the rest will just watch him go up and retrieve the briefcase. Sounds familiar? It should cos that's exactly what this cheap, shitty game type is.
What you essentially want to do is stay near the ramp area and let the AI wipe out each others health.
If they all come to you that's even better as they'll stay there and fight each other whilst you retrieve the briefcase, but this requires a lot of luck.
At some point try and pull off an OMG move (+), I found them standing on the apron on the outside whilst you're inside is the easiest to pull off. However if you're more interested in putting them through the table you need to save 2 finishers, by default you can only save one, so you will need to purchase 2 skills "Fired up" (allows you to store 3 finishers) and "Through the table" skill (this requires 2 saved finishers to put someone through a table). Up to you which you use, however a few side missions set the task of putting your opponent through the announcers table so it's worth getting those skills
You don't want to go up the ladder cos they will topple it over and you will take a long time to recover, so go up when you see there's a couple of left to press that's when you aim to hit everyone with the ladder to knock them down (and get one of the objectives of using the ladder as a weapon) then climb up and only needing 2 more means you should get this easily whilst everyone is down.
It's pretty much down to luck and if you got it on your first try, kudos to you
Similar method if you're put in a ladder match, let your opponent do all the work, then just run up and steal the victory
ROYAL RUMBLE
This one is more simple. Eliminate quickly, never allow more than one AI in the ring, cos that's when it gets hectic and you can accidentally get eliminated.
What you want to do straight away isn't engage in a fight but irish whip them over the top rope (). They'll do one of three things;
1) Just lean against the top rope, ere's the mistake people make, hitting to engage in a mini game of button mashing. Instead you want to strike them, hit three times and they will fall.
2) hold the top rope with their hands whilst flailing around (like HBK did at the end of Royal Rumble '95) this is the best scenario as an next to them will be a knee to them and an instant elimination.
3) Straight away get back in (higher ranked fighters will always do this). But do not fear, just irish whip them over the top rope repeatedly, the third time they always just lean on the top rope and don't come in. If you get the timing right you can hit them and stop them coming back in.
As long as you eliminate everyone that comes in instantly, this won't be a problem, of course you can never guess what the AI will do, randomly they might reverse you. One thing you should never do is run at them, as they will reverse it by flipping you over their head, if they are close enough to the ring this is an automatic elimination, so never run at them
With that you should get this easily, and hopefully you do enjoy playing the story and levelling your character up.
