The 2-Way Sharpshooter SG Build - RH2 The Journey Wiki
A virtually unguardable shooting guard built on a maxed three-point shot, Hall of Fame Quick Draw and Range Extender, with solid defense to match — plus the full attribute spread to copy.
Overview
The 2-Way Sharpshooter is the classic shooting guard meta: 95 three-point, 95 mid-range, Hall of Fame shooting badges, and 90 perimeter defense. It shoots over people, and it stops people. It is basically Klay Thompson on steroids.

Build It in 4 Steps
This build's power comes from the badge thresholds its spread unlocks. Build in this order and each step falls into place.
Set vitals
Maximum height (6'7") and minimum weight (180 lbs) — the extra height pays off on defense and shooting contests.
Max the shooting block
Push mid-range and three-point to 95 and grab 55 close shot to unlock Gold Relentless Finisher.
Invest in two-way stats
90 perimeter defense and 78 steal turn the build into a genuine 3&D threat rather than a shooter-only liability.

The Badge Stack
Four badges define this build. Everything else is personal preference.
HoF Quick Draw
Arguably the best shooting badge in RH2 — a must for any SG.
HoF Range Extender
Makes logo-range threes a normal shot instead of a prayer.
Gold Clamps
The anchor for 3&D builds, keeping quick guards in front of you.
Gold Fearless Shooter
Boosts shots over people — the sharpshooter's signature.
How to Play It
You are a spacer first. Run to the corners and the wings, keep the floor stretched, and punish every closeout — the HoF shooting badges make contested and deep shots far more forgiving. On defense, sit in a stance and use Clamps plus your 6'7" frame to bother the opposing guard without gambling for steals.
The build also finishes better than it looks: 95 driving layup means backdoor cuts and transition attacks are real weapons. Read the beginner guide if you are new to off-ball movement, then check the best builds list to see how it compares to the other positions.
Takeover & Team Boost Picks
Pick the takeover that matches your squad's needs. These are the community-tested pairings for this build.
- Matador — the go-to choice since shooting stats are already maxed
- Spotlight — pushes three-point shooting even higher for pure spacer play
- Lone Ranger — helps you shoot over people in iso situations
- Rolling Deep / Run As One — team boosts that align with a shooting-focused lineup
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best shooting guard build?
The 2-Way Sharpshooter at 6'7" and 180 lbs with 95 three-point, 95 mid-range, HoF Quick Draw and HoF Range Extender is the community standard.
Why max height on a shooting guard?
Extra height gives invaluable reach on defense and shooting contests while the minimum weight keeps agility acceptable.
Is 65 free throw enough?
Yes for most players. If it bothers you, drop Close Shot to 25 and raise FT instead — but keep the other stats.
Which badges are mandatory?
HoF Quick Draw and HoF Range Extender are non-negotiable, followed by Gold Fearless Shooter and Gold Clamps.
Can this build create its own shot?
Partially. It excels at catch-and-shoot and straight-line drives, but for iso creation a point guard build is stronger.
Does this work in 2v2?
Yes, it is one of the best 2v2 options since spacing and defense both matter there.
