The Gym Rat badge is a favorite among NBA 2K players because it gives you a buff to your physical attributes without having to continually visit the Gatorade Training Center. In NBA 2K22 things are a bit different for the Gym Rat Badge, where it was a bit trickier in previous years, this year the Gym Rat Badge can be unlocked quite early in your My Career journey. In this guide, we will explain exactly how to unlock the Gym Rat badge in NBA 2K22.
How to Get the NBA 2K22 Gym Rat Badge
This year, earning the Gym Rat badge is as easy as completing one of the My Career Challenges. However, this challenge requires completing one of the most tedious activities in the game.
First you need to select the Gym Rat Challenge as active. You can access it through the Quests > Career section of the menu. Next, you need to go visit the Gatorade rep in the large training facility in the center of the map. Once you meet him, he will reveal that you can unlock the Gym Rat badge by completing three-star activities in the Gatorade Gym 50 times. Upon completion, you will have the Gym Rat badge and associated bonuses that go with it.
The only problem with having to complete this challenge is that Gatorade's games of skill can be hopelessly bad. 2K hasn't done much to improve this facet of gaming for years and often times games seem designed for you to fail and get frustrated.
Still, if you can collect that Gym Rat badge, you can say goodbye to the training center and hello to permanently boosting your attributes.
