Timed contests on perimeter shooters
Challenger is a returning Defense badge. The official job is timed contests on perimeter shooters.
Both halves matter: the shooter is on the perimeter, and your contest is timed. Late or early is not the published job.
| Job | Challenger? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Timed contest on a perimeter shooter | Yes | Official job |
| Hands-up contest in the paint | No | Wall-Up |
| Blocks at the rim | No | Paint Patroller |
| Shrink the closeout tax as the shooter | No | Deadeye |
| Body-up that cuts the drive | No | Seatbelt |
Deadeye is the shooter’s answer
Deadeye shrinks the contest penalty when you close out. Challenger is the contest. They sit on opposite teams.
Does a paint jumper use Challenger?
The official sentence is perimeter shooters. Paint contests are Wall-Up or Paint Patroller.
