In UFC 5, fighting isn’t the only goal. Things do get tougher as you progress, so leveling up is a must. UFC 5 allows you to take on new challenges and modes to gain XP. The more you accomplish, the faster you level up. This is filters through something called a Punch Card. Read on to find out what a Punch Card is in UFC 5.
UFC 5: Punch Card – Explained
The Punch Card feature works a little like a Battle Pass in that its a free set of challenges that change weekly. The Punch Card each week will feature different challenges like playing in certain arenas. As you progress through the Punch Card, you’ll get rewards like new clothes and other gear. The difficulty of the card depends on the challenges you take on. The Punch Card is a great way for you to keep coming back to discover or try something new.
It also seems like the Punch Card gets even more XP-heavy on fight night weekends that coincide with real life UFC matches. If you play UFC 5 with a fight on the promotion’s Saturday time slot, there may be an extra incentive to hop in and reap the rewards. It should be mentioned that you won’t be getting consistent amounts of XP every week. Week one’s XP payout might be lower or higher in the second week.

Best way to level up the Punch Card
I found if you choose the Quick Play mode as opposed to Online, you can more quickly complete challenges since the fights are a lot easier, allowing you to more efficiently progress through your Punch Card challenges. The online play is a high-risk-high-reward playstyle, and as such gives out more XP. I’d recommend playing offline if you want to run through your Punch Card fast.
UFC 5 is available now via Xbox and PlayStation store.
