Attributes play a vital role in defining the type of player you belong to in NBA 2K21. Without the right choice and enough 2K21 MT, you will not be able to perform what you want to do on the court, leaving you behind the game.

In addition to regular player development training, you can also choose to use badges. These are essentially special enhancements that can enhance the specific attributes of the character. The Gym Rat badge will quadruple your endurance, strength, speed, and verticality, making it a decent badge that can be unlocked by aggressive players.

In NBA 2K21, there are two ways to obtain the "Gym Rat" badge. Although they have the same badge, each use condition is different. This is how to unlock the Gym Rat badge in NBA 2K21.

Method 1: Unlock the Gym Rat badge through MyCareer in NBA 2K21.

MyCareer is always a unique experience and the perfect way to reproduce basketball dreams on a digital screen. If you meet the following conditions during the regular season, the Gym Rat badge will be automatically unlocked.

Play 40 seasons of regular games in MyCareer. Win the playoffs and finals. Simulated games were initially prohibited, but some games can now be simulated if the following conditions are met. After rising by 25 points, you can simulate 40 regular season games. After 40 games without simulating any regular games, you can simulate all the remaining games until you enter the playoffs. After a 25-point increase, you can simulate the playoffs. Considering that you need to win the finals to unlock the badge, it is also a good idea to practice with your team before the game starts. If you fail to win the final, you need to go through the same process from the first party.

However, you should be aware of a pitfall. The Gym Rat badge you will unlock through MyCareer is only available to the player for whom you have obtained the badge. This means that none of your other characters can use the badge because you did not unlock it with them.

Method 2: Unlock the Gym Rat badge by increasing your MyRep progress.

If you want to unlock the Gym Rat badge and use it on all available characters, you need to follow the second route. This method will require you to reach "Superstar 2" in the MyRep process.

However, players on the next-generation consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will need to continue their efforts until "Superstar 3". At first, playing through MyCareer sounds cumbersome, but compared to honing the progress of MyRep, it may take relatively short time.

You need to continue playing in the city to increase the progress of MyRep, and there is no easy way to speed up this process. If players with only one character do not want to create another character in the future, they can choose the first method to save time and enjoy the story (if not already).

Players with multiple characters will have to use the second method because the Gym Rat badge obtained through the first method can only be used for the characters unlocked with them. Before reaching the status of a "superstar", you will go through multiple levels, each of which will provide a superb NBA 2K21 MT Coins reward. As MyRep progresses, you can also access other badges, which may be another source of motivation during the grinding process.
