Best Shooting Badges in 2K21

The following are the best shooting badges in NBA 2K21:

Hot Zone Hunter

If you’re a creature of habit, this is the perfect badge for you as a shooter. If you tend to take and make a lot of shots from a particular spot on the court (for example, the right wing), this badge will increase you likelihood of making shots from that particular spot.

Catch and Shoot

This badge is extremely valuable for off-the-ball players. When it comes to playing with other MyPlayer’s online, the odds are that your teammates may seek to handle the ball plenty. With that in mind, a shooter will find extreme value in being able to hit quick shots off a pass.

Range Extender

With this badge, think Steph Curry shooting range from just past halfcourt. This badge increases the player’s abilities as the shooter gets further out for ranged attempts.

Deadeye

In most cases, defenders will disrupt the likelihood of made shots for any shooter. This badge will help shooters by reducing the impact of a defender’s presence while shooting.

When you think of shooting in 2K21, there are various obstacles to being effective from range. However, anyone that aspires to be impactful from deep should now find comfort in the badges that will increase the effectiveness of these attempts.

If you wish to be the hot hand from outside, be sure to equip these badges and level them up as soon as possible.
