How long does it take to run 26.2 miles NBA 2K22?

If you’re wondering how to unlock NBA 2K22 fast travel spawn locations, then you’re in the right place. Getting access to the spawn points is a pretty smart thing to do, because it will help you travel around town much faster than normal. The problem is that you’ll have to work for it, and hard. So, without further ado, let’s begin.

NBA 2K22 Unlock Spawn Location – Fast Travel

To unlock the fast travel spawn locations in NBA 2K22, the first step is to go to the NBA Store near the center of town. It’s to the right and down from the big glowing building in the very center of the map. Don’t go into the store, but look at the alley to the right of the store. There, you’ll find a guy called ATM who will give you a quest you need to complete. After you do, and walk around for a little while, you should get another quest from him called “Unlock Spawn Location.” Long story short, just do quests for ATM until you get this mission.

Now, all you have to do is travel around the city for 26.2 miles. If you track the quest, you’ll see how long you’ve traveled. This seems easy enough, right? Well, it isn’t. You have to travel for 26.2 miles on foot. No using the bike or skateboard or anything like that. To unlock the NBA 2K22 fast travel spawn locations, you have to run the distance of a marathon with no ways to speed it up. It will take you about, say, an hour and a half real-time to do this. If that sounds like a drag, keep in mind that the world record of running a marathon is two hours, so count your blessings.

Once you do unlock the spawn points, there are several places around the map you can instantly teleport to. These include the court of your city affiliation, the Pro Am arena, the Rec Center, the shopping area, Brickley’s gym, near the runway, and the Gatorade gym. In the long run, this will save you a lot of time.

Simple as running around in the neighbourhood. It must be done on one charcacter, cant be spread across multiple.

It will take approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes of sprinting (holding RT) around the neighbourhood to complete.

Recommend doing a few laps in between games instead of doing this in one sitting.

You're sure this is cumulative? I did 50% on the achievement bar in one sitting and now after 30 minutes of more running (same character just a day later) no progress is being made. Any idea what the problem is?

Also had this problem. Not making any progress now.

Mine stopped tracking at 77%. Think it might just be an issue with the achievement tracker but not entirely sure.

If you play enough in MyCareer, this will come naturally. Going out of your way for this achievement is really not a wise idea, given you will likely do it anyway if you get all the other MyCareer cheevos done.

I'm pretty sure rubber-banding your controller will not work, as you actually have to walk distances...

Oh, and for the icing on the cake: I couldn't find anywhere where the game tells you how much distance you've traveled. The game doesn't track achievements using the Xbox One's built-in feature, so yeah... good luck. Hopefully 2K fixes this.

  • How to Unlock Spawn Points in NBA 2K22

The next-gen version of NBA 2K22 has 7 spawn points that players can unlock by completing a side quest that involves running around the city.

NBA 2K22 - Player Running and Dribbling

The new features, playable areas, and game mechanics in NBA 2k22 give players a variety of enjoyable gameplay options. There are a few differences between the next-gen console and current-gen versions of the game, the biggest being the inclusion of the City on newer systems. Players on older gaming systems will be in the Neighborhood and aboard the Cancha Del Mar Cruise Ship instead of roaming around the City.

The City is a large playable area that players can leisurely explore. This new area has many opportunities for players to interact with NPCs, complete side quests, and even upgrade to a penthouse overlooking the City. With the arrival of a large, open-world area like the City, there comes the need for unlocking spawn points. Doing so will allow for easier navigation and quicker activity completion.

Players can use spawn points to begin their gameplay in a specific area of the City. The ability to unlock them will start when the side quest Unlock Spawn Point becomes available. There are a total of 7 spawn points for players to choose from. All of the spawn points are unlocked at the same time when the side quest is completed. Players must run a set distance through the City in order to finish the quest. Setting the spawn point can be done from the City map by selecting the desired spawn area and confirming it.

The Unlock Spawn Points side quest is given by ATM, an NPC in the City, and requires players to run 26.2 miles. This must be done on foot, so using the BMX, skateboard, and rollerblades will not count towards the total distance traveled. The player also has to be running, not walking. Tracking the quest will show a progress indicator on the left side of the screen, so players can constantly see how far they've run.

The total distance is tracked over time and doesn't need to be completed all at once. Players should also be aware that running in place won't count, so continuously running won't work if there is an obstacle in the character's way. Once players reach the 26.2 miles and complete the quest, all of the spawn points will automatically unlock. A spawn point can be set on the map to one of 7 locations:

  • Shopping District
  • Apartment
  • Rec
  • Team Practice Facility
  • Gatorade Gym
  • Fashion Runway
  • Pro Am

Setting the spawn point will change the location the character starts at each time players return to the City. This can be helpful if there is a specific area of the City that players need to come back to. Completing the Unlock Spawn Points quest will also award players 1,000 MVP points. Collecting these points will eventually lead to unlocking the penthouse through the MVP of the City quest. NBA 2K22 offers a variety of features and opportunities in the City for next-gen players.
