NBA 2K27: How to Get the Blood Shot Eye Glasses Early

The Blood Shot Eye Glasses are a returning Halloween face accessory, and you do not have to wait for the seasonal event to wear them. They sit in the Early Access catalog at Swag’s, the main street clothing store in the city hub, priced at 8,500 VC.

Quick answer: Walk into Swag’s, open the store menu, switch to the EARLY ACCESS category, scroll down to Blood Shot Eye Glasses, and buy them for 8,500 VC.

What you need before buying the Blood Shot Eye Glasses

There is no level gate, quest chain, or event progress attached to this purchase. The only real requirement is currency and access to the city, which means you need a MyPLAYER that has been through the opening steps and can move around the hub freely.

Check your VC balance first. At 8,500 VC, the glasses are one of the cheaper items in the Early Access catalog, but the price is fixed and the store will not let you part-pay it.

Buying the goggles at Swag’s

Head across the plaza to Swag’s, the main street clothing store marked with the SWAG’S signage. It is one of the standard storefronts on the city’s shopping strip, so you can sprint there from most spawn points in well under a minute.

Walk inside and open the store menu. You will land on the default apparel categories, which is not where the goggles live.

Switch to the EARLY ACCESS category. This is a separate tab from the regular clothing tabs and holds the seasonal and premium cosmetics that have not hit general release yet.

Scroll down through the catalog until Blood Shot Eye Glasses is highlighted. The listing shows a price of 8,500 next to it.

Confirm the purchase. Your VC balance drops by 8,500 and the glasses are added to your MyPLAYER’s accessory options, ready to equip on the spot.

The goggles share the shelf with the rest of the head and face items in the same tab. Prices vary widely, so it is worth knowing what else you are scrolling past before you commit your VC.

Item	Price (VC)
Glow Necklace	5,000
Blood Shot Eye Glasses	8,500
Facemask	10,000
Gladiator Helmet	15,000
Emissive Skull Ski Mask	20,000
Mech Helmet	25,000

Other entries in the same catalog include the Animated Glowing Eyes Lion Head, the Animated Viper Head, and an Eye Patch.

How to confirm the purchase worked

The clearest check is visual. Leave the store and look at your MyPLAYER’s face — with the glasses equipped, the red-lens goggles sit over the eyes and are visible in the third-person camera as soon as you step outside.

Your VC counter should also have dropped by exactly 8,500. If the item still shows a buy prompt rather than an equip option, the transaction did not go through.

Note: Goggles and face accessories in NBA 2K are handled per context, so an item bought for one setting will not always appear in every mode. If the glasses show on your character in the city but not in a particular game mode, check that mode’s own accessory options rather than assuming the purchase failed.

Why the item may not appear in the store

Two things account for most failed attempts. The first is being in the wrong tab — the goggles do not appear under the regular clothing categories and only show up once you select Early Access. The second is the item’s limited window, since Early Access listings are temporary and rotate out when the item moves to its full seasonal release.

If the Blood Shot Eye Glasses are no longer in the Early Access list, the item has cycled out of that catalog. Buying it early is only possible while the listing is live, which is exactly why the price sits above what a common accessory normally costs.
