Throwing weapons are a new feature in WWE 2K24. You can chuck everything from a steel chair to the ringside steps at your opponent, though the mechanics can be a little clunky and require some getting used to.

The first step is to pick up a weapon. In certain matches, weapons will already be at the ringside, like ladders in a Ladder match or tables in a Tables match, and you can always find steel chairs by the announcer’s table.

Alternatively, grab a weapon from underneath the ring and use the weapon select wheel to choose the weapon you want. You can then hit your opponent with the weapon, but be careful of the referee in a normal match, as if you hit them, you’ll be disqualified.

You can throw any weapon at your opponent using these controls, which provides a great way of dealing huge amounts of damage from a distance, and is especially effective outside the ring.

Most weapons have a set number of uses before they “break,” so make sure you’re aware of this and don’t get caught out. From our experience, this is around five attacks, but you can, of course, go and grab another weapon.
