How to Beat Gauntlet Spotlight Challenges in NBA 2K21
There is no one single way to definitely beat all of these challenges, based on specific challenges, here are some tips from Wildmont Gaming for helping you complete more games in NBA 2K21 Gauntlet Spotlight Challenges.
Some of these challenges are not difficult, but eventually, you are going to complete those harder challenges, for example, if you want to beat Putback Boss, one of the tips is to get 5 out playbook when you get 5 out, call for a screen, what’s going to happen is the CPU will come before your player, so whoever setting the screen whether or not your center or your power forward before they set the screen, make them like count to the screen. What you can do is call for a screen and right before they set the screen, just hit L1 or whatever button you use, call for a screen, your player is going to cut to the basket directly. Shoot the ball, do not try to make it and your player usually gets a rebound out of that man, that’s one of the ways you can actually get that done.
Another one is 17 Blocks, one of the methods you can actually beat it is by putting tall players at every single position in your lineup. What you would do is buy Joakim Noah, he is 6’11”, but most importantly, he has a 95 block rating as a point guard. Other recommended players are Jonathan Isaac, Bill Russell, etc. Feed them into the paint, when they get there, just try to spam blocks, make sure to use the tallest lineup possible.
The next one is 9 For 9, you need to make 9 three-pointers with 1 player while shooting 100% from 3 as a team, make sure whoever you are shooting with does not have a Steady Shooter badge, this can make even if you are taking open jump shots, you can still miss those, but there is no guarantee on current-gen, even if you release the ball perfectly every single time, it can still miss. Then make sure they have Catch & Shoot of Hall of Fame, you need to have a good jumpshot that you can time.
For the Cookies challenge, if you are going to get 11 steals with a player, put the biggest player you have, what happens a lot of times is once you are playing pressure defense with a big player or a player with a long wingspan, you get a lot of bump steals and lane steals, the size, wingspan, and athleticism really matter for many of these challenges. Finally, do not get frustrated in these challenges, you can give up some of them.
