Locker codes are available again for the latest offering by publisher 2K Sports. "NBA 2K17" fans can unlock features and freebies within the game with these codes, and the only way to do so is to obtain these from the company who created the game.

The publisher has collaborated with Ruffles and Walmart for their first locker code giveaway promo. Fans will be able to get a locker code by simply purchasing a copy of "NBA 2K17" and two bags of Ruffles at Walmart. The promo started on Sept. 10 and will run until Oct. 2. Additionally, players will also get 5,000 VC (virtual currency) and two Jump Packs of Park Cars. However, this is only for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. Previous-generation consoles are not included in the promo.

Now, fans need to take a picture of the receipt (proof of purchase) and send it to RufflesNBA2K17@2K.com. It is important to remember that the items should be purchased from Walmart within the promo period. 2K Sports will also honor items that were purchased different receipts from different dates as long as they were purchased within the said dates.

Additionally, a customer can only avail of up to 10 locker codes and can submit up to 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 15 only. For gamers that already have locker codes, they can redeem them by going to the main menu of the game, then going to "Options/Features," pick the "Locker Codes" option and enter the Locker Code from there.

Meanwhile, several news outlets have warned fans about sites offering free Locker Codes for "NBA 2K17." Most of these sites are scams, requiring users to sign-up or complete surveys in order to have the code but are just out there to get personal data, and worse, money from unsuspecting players. People are already reporting that Locker Codes coming from these kinds of websites do not work, and fans should stay away from them. Legitimate Locker Codes can only be given by 2K Sports and their partners.

"NBA 2K'7" is now available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC.
