FUT Birthday Piero Hincapie card has been added as an objective in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team
As the FUT Birthday promo enters its second week, EA has released a second team featuring another set of special cards that are up for grabs in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. However, trying to pack one of them can become a tedious chore if players are solely dependent on random packs.
While the issue can be mitigated by using one of the many SBCs that feature these cards, a simpler and less expensive way is to complete objectives by just playing the game.
Objectives that yield these types of special cards usually just require one to play the game in certain game modes such as Squad Battles or Rivals. FIFA 23 players can even choose to play on lower difficulty settings such as Semi-Pro and even play offline to grind the tasks without added pressure.
Here are the requirements of the four tasks that must be completed within the next 14 days to unlock the FUT Birthday Piero Hincapie objective. Keep in mind that individual tasks also yield rewards such as swaps tokens and packs.
