2K26 Takeovers

All ten core Takeover Abilities and the attribute requirements to activate each one. Each Takeover boosts three attributes; at level 5 it unlocks its Ability — but the Ability only fires once you meet every requirement listed below.

In-game you equip named Takeover packages (3 & D, Mixtape, Fortress, and more) that share these activation thresholds but boost different attribute spreads.
