How to Get a Backpack in NBA 2K20

This year in NBA 2K20 players are able to equip a backpack on their MyPlayer while in the neighborhood. If you’re wondering how to get this cool new item, don’t worry I have a quick guide that you can follow to have your player looking like a boss in front of your friends.

How do I unlock the Backpack?

Before you can equip the backpack there are a couple of things that need to be covered. Those two things are the unlock requirements and the cost. Yes, like most other features and accessories in NBA 2K20, you will have to put in a little work for this one. The good news is, is that this item will not break your wallet in terms of VC (NBA 2K20’s version of in-game virtual currency).

NBA 2K20 Backpack Requirements / Steps

There are two methods that you are able to use to get a backpack in NBA 2K20 and unfortunately neither are easy to complete without some effort and time. The first method is the longest but it is also the most rewarding. This method is simply by playing your MyCareer. Playing game modes such as Park, Pro-Am, Rec, and Ante Up games will increase your MyRep. Each of these modes has advantages and disadvantages in terms of game length. Just make sure that whatever mode you decide to play gives you experience toward your MyRep.

Once you reach a MyRep level of Superstar 2, you will unlock the ability to purchase and equip a backpack.

Once you have reached Superstar 2, travel to the SWAGs store and the backpack section should no longer be locked. Make sure you bring at least 10,000 VC.

If you don’t like the basic set of backpacks that are available, check back later an there may be different seasonal styles available for purchase.

The second method is by completing special events and acquiring the backpack through rewards. From time to time NBA 2K20 will host special events in the neighborhood that can award prizes once all the tasks are completed. If you are lucky enough, you were able to get a backpack from one of these events. Just remember that you will not be able to purchase a different style backpack until you reach Superstar 2.

How do I equip my new backpack?

Equipping your backpack is simple. Follow these steps!

Step 1: Go to the MyPLAYER Appearance tab in the MyPlayer Menu.

Step 2: Enter the CLOTHES menu

Step 3: Enter the Neighborhood menu and select BACKPACK

Step 4: In this menu, you should see any backpack that you have acquired through a special event or purchased.

Step 5: If you get a message about a clothing conflict, this because a piece of clothing that you have on needs to be changed. This is most likely due to the TOP that you are wearing.
