- Suppressor: Opponents with an active Takeover receive smaller attribute boosts when you are guarding them. Unlock by completing Gatorade Daily Stat Challenges.
- Saboteur: When a guarded opponent commits a turnover or bad shot, their Takeover meter gets a larger penalty. Unlock by completing the Mountain Dew Daily Stat Challenges.
- Second Chance: When Takeover is full but not yet activated, making a mistake won’t completely reset the meter. Unlock by completing the New Balance Daily Stat Challenges.
- Sponge: When a teammate performs an action to increase their Takeover meter, you get a small boost of your own. Unlock by completing the State Farm Daily Stat Challenges.
