What is a Walkout in EA FC 25?
Players rated 86 or higher are called Walkouts in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team. They have unique animations to sign for FC 25, indicating that you’re just signing one of the most valuable players in the game. Walkouts is one of the easiest ways to inject top-class talent into your team.
Walkout Pack Animation: Key Signs
In its pre-order phase, a lot of EA FC 25 fans got the ultimate packs for free. To determine if you’ve packed a Walkout, focus on the visual cues in the pack-opening sequence. While FC 25 Walkout animations may seem similar to regular ones, the difference lies in the details.
The following are the main signs to look out for:
1. Gold Lines Lighting Up the Tunnel
- When you open a pack and the two gold lines inside the tunnel flare up toward the ceiling, you’ve hit a Walkout. These golden beams are your first and most obvious indicator. If they rise from the floor to the ceiling of the tunnel, you’ve packed a Walkout.
- If these lines do not appear or remain static, it’s a non-Walkout pack.
Player Walkout at the End of the Tunnel
- After the gold lines flare up, a player will physically walk out from the tunnel. This is another clear sign that you’ve packed a high-rated player in EA FC 25. The higher the player’s rating, the more elaborate the walkout animation.
- If no player walks out, you didn’t pack a Walkout.
Player Ratings
- Walkouts typically involve players rated 86 and above. If you notice an animation but the player rating is lower than 86, it’s not classified as a Walkout.
How to Tell You Packed a Walkout in EA FC 25
Here’s a simple breakdown of what to watch for during FC 25 Pack Opening:
Step 1. Open the Pack
When the pack begins to open, keep an eye on the two golden lines in the tunnel.

The gold lines will light up and rise toward the ceiling if you’ve packed a Walkout. If they stay at the bottom, it’s not a Walkout.
Step 3. Player Walkout
After the lines light up, the player will walk out from the tunnel, celebrating the pull. This is your Walkout animation.
These visual cues make it easy to differentiate between a regular pack and a Walkout pack animation. Getting used to these signals will help you spot a Walkout instantly, saving you the suspense of waiting until the player fully reveals.
Additional Features in Walkout Animations
Walkout animations come with a bit more flair compared to non-Walkout animations. In EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, you may notice that Walkouts often feature a grander, more dramatic presentation. The lighting is brighter, the tunnel is more illuminated, and the overall scene feels more celebratory.
Background Music and Visual Effects
The music and visual effects are often more intense, reflecting the higher value of the player you’ve packed. Look for additional lighting effects and sometimes even fireworks in the background to signal a big win.
Player-Specific Animations
Certain players, especially iconic or highly rated players like Lionel Messi or Kylian Mbappé, may have personalized animations.
What If It’s Not a Walkout?
If the gold lines don’t light up, you haven’t packed a Walkout. Instead, you’ve pulled a lower-rated player, usually 85 or below. In FC 25 pack openings, this is the most common outcome, as Walkouts remain relatively rare.
If you pull an 85-rated player, you might still see a brief animation, but it won’t include the signature tunnel lighting or the dramatic walkout. Instead, the animation will be more subdued, indicating a standard pack pull.
