The Dragonfire Mask and Dragonfire Sleeveless Tee are two of the most eye-catching cosmetics in NBA 2K27, and unlike most gear you grind for over weeks, these land on your account the second you own the right pass. No level requirements, no challenge chains. Just buy the pass and they're yours. Here's exactly how that works and where to find them once they drop.
How do you get the Dragonfire cosmetics?
Both items are Automatic Rewards tied to the Season 1 Pro Pass or the Hall of Fame Pass. The word "automatic" matters here: you don't need to reach a specific reward tier or complete any task. The moment your pass is active, the Dragonfire Mask and Dragonfire Sleeveless Tee are granted to your account.
The same pass bundle also includes a 91 OVR Diamond Jimmy Butler card and an S1 Pro Pass Pack, making it a solid pickup for players who want both cosmetic and competitive value out of a single purchase.
| Item | How to unlock | Pass required |
|---|---|---|
| Dragonfire Mask | Automatic reward on pass activation | Season 1 Pro Pass or Hall of Fame Pass |
| Dragonfire Sleeveless Tee | Automatic reward on pass activation | Season 1 Pro Pass or Hall of Fame Pass |
| 91 OVR Diamond Jimmy Butler | Automatic reward on pass activation | Season 1 Pro Pass or Hall of Fame Pass |
Both passes are optional paid add-ons purchased directly from the Season Rewards menu inside the game. You need the base game, an internet connection, and an active NBA 2K account to complete the purchase.

How to equip the Dragonfire items
Once you own the pass, the process is straightforward. Here's the full flow:
- Purchase the Season 1 Pro Pass or Hall of Fame Pass from the Season Rewards menu inside the game.
- Wait for the automatic grant. The Dragonfire Mask and Tee should appear in your wardrobe shortly after the pass activates.
- If the items don't show up immediately, open the Season Rewards or Pro Pass tab once. This triggers the grant manually and usually resolves any delay.
- Load your MyPLAYER and navigate to the appearance or wardrobe menu.
- Find the Dragonfire Mask under the head or accessories category and equip it.
- Find the Dragonfire Sleeveless Tee under the tops category and equip it.

Can you unlock the Dragonfire items for free?
No. This is the most common misconception around these cosmetics. Season 1 does include a free reward track, but the Dragonfire Mask and Tee sit in the 40 additional levels of premium rewards that only exist for pass owners. Playing through the free track all the way to the top will not unlock either item. There is no gameplay grind, no challenge, and no alternative path.
If you want the Dragonfire cosmetics, the Pro Pass or Hall of Fame Pass is the only route.
For players who want to get the most out of their Season 1 investment beyond cosmetics, the NBA 2K27 MyTEAM complete guide covers how to build around the Jimmy Butler card that comes bundled with the same pass.
Will the Dragonfire items carry over or return later?
Cosmetics you already own stay in your wardrobe permanently, so once you have the mask and tee, they're yours to keep across future seasons. The question is whether they'll be available again after Season 1 ends, and the short answer is: don't count on it. Every reference to these items is tied specifically to Season 1, with no official indication they return in later passes or future seasons.
Season 1 is the window. If you want them, this is when to act.
