In FIFA 20, it is known how to recognize Walkouts early. This way you quickly know what’s in your pack in FUT 20 (Ultimate Team) during the pack opening. Pay attention to this animation.
Why recognize Walkouts in FUT 20? If you have saved a few coins in FIFA 20’s Ultimate Team mode, you can hold a pack opening in the store and open one or more sets, hoping to get a top player.
Since every year the pack opening animations in FUT become more “spectacular” and longer, opening sets can take quite a while. For most packs, it is worth skipping the animation. However, for a “Walkout”, you want to see the animation – after all, such a thing is extremely rare. So how can you quickly recognize a Walkout?
How to recognize Walkouts: In this video by EA Game Changer ChuBoi, various pack animations are explained. We will show them to you below the video with images:
Animations during Pack Opening in Ultimate Team
In FIFA 20, an animation starts during the pack opening where a large gate opens, behind which there is a tunnel. You travel through this tunnel, seeing glitter rain and the club and nation of the player, and at the end, the card awaits you. At least this is the case for Walkouts; for player cards of lower quality, the animation is significantly shortened.
Standard Gold vs. Rare Gold Card
The difference between a rare and a non-rare gold card during pack opening:
Here you need to look closely. A rare gold card has multiple black stripes in the gate, whereas a normal gold card (on the right) has no stripes in the gate. Additionally, with the rare one, there is glitter rain behind the gate, which is absent with the non-rare.
If you only see a flat, golden, unadorned door, you can skip the animation directly.
Rare gold cards usually have a better rating than standard gold cards. The rare gold cards shine more.
Rare Gold Card vs. Rare Gold Card between 83 and 85
The difference between a low-rated rare gold card and a higher-rated rare gold card (around between 83 and 85 rating) is actually not recognizable at first:
The gates look the same in both animations. There are supposed to be slight differences in the light beams on the left and right, but these are hard to spot.
By the time you reach the gate, however, you will know whether it’s a card with 83+ rating. Because then the nation is displayed as a flag – and not the card directly. The ride through the tunnel is therefore longer for 83+.
A rare gold card between 83 and 85 rating has two large panels next to it at the end during the pack opening, on which rating, club, and nation are prominently displayed. Therefore, a card in this rating range is also called a “Board”.
This is the Walkout Animation
Players over 86 rating usually have a Walkout animation. It runs similarly to the animation for players with 83+, but at the end, the player who jumps into the picture, as well as more fireworks await you. This is the animation you want to see.
How to recognize the Walkout early:
You recognize a Walkout only behind the gate. Pay attention to the orange blinking lights on the ceiling of the tunnel. With a Walkout, the left light at the end blinks more often, while with a Board, both lights stop blinking simultaneously.
In the upper video, you can inspect this closely from minute 4:30.
Generally, it will be much harder in FIFA 20 than in previous FIFA titles to clearly recognize the quality of player cards in advance. With a Walkout, many will probably wonder: “Did that blink again on the left or not?”
By the way: The gate can also have other colors, for example, black. However, this depends on the quality of the pack and not the player.
