WWE 2K24, like other combat sports games, relies on strategy and timing. Players can target and wear down their opponent's body parts to secure a victory, make them bleed, and slow them down in the ring. It's also useful for WWE wrestlers with finishing submission moves that target specific parts, like Kurt Angle's Ankle Lock. With Angle, it makes perfect sense to target the legs and wear them down, otherwise the opponent will have an easier time escaping the submission hold. WWE 2K24 still lacks the mechanic that targets specific body parts like WWE 2K19, but there is still a variety of options available for players to get the win.

How to Target Body Parts With Grapples In WWE 2K24

Several WWE wrestlers have preset moves that target body parts. However, fans should know that some superstars can perform power moves from a downed position, like the suplex or powerbomb.

The most accurate method of attacking specific body parts is to get the opponent to the ground and attack them there. Use the following steps to target specific parts with the grapple moves:

• Head Grapples: Get the opponent to the ground and stand near their head, press the Circle on PlayStation or the B button on Xbox, and then press Square on PlayStation/X on Xbox for a light grapple or the X on PlayStation/A on Xbox for a heavy move on the head.

• Leg Grapples: Press the Circle/B button to grapple a downed opponent's legs. Then press Square on the PS or X on the Xbox for a light grapple attack. Press X on the PS or A on the Xbox for a heavy grapple.

• Arm and Back Grapples: Some wrestlers will perform arm grapples from the side position or attack the back. To perform a side grapple, press Circle/B at the side of a downed opponent and press the X or the Square button on the PS or the A and B buttons on the Xbox.

How to Target Body Parts With Strikes In WWE 2K24

Attacking moves are strikes, initiated with the Square button on the PlayStation or the X button on the Xbox, on a grounded opponent. However, they can initiate select wrestling/MMA-based attacks by stars like Kurt Angle, such as the ground and pound. Use the following commands to attack specific body parts:

• Use heavy strikes with the X/A button near the head, body, or legs to initiate a strong attack. Some moves initiate ground and pound, hip drops, leg drops, and more.
• Use light strikes to hit opponents with basic attacks like stomps and knee drops

Many attacks are dependent on a WWE wrestler's movesets. Most technical wrestlers will target body parts, but power wrestlers can hit their opponent with pick-up power moves like power bombs, and more.
