Every fact about Player Challenges by game version, newest first.

VersionWhat we know
Planned
  • Challenge UI is unfinished; spammy notification toasts will be toned down.
  • Some unlocks may move to easier or harder challenges during alpha and beta; this stops by Early Access.
  • Personal challenges are to be a bigger deal in Alpha 4, unlocking customization.
  • Challenge-complete popups are spammy and will be reduced, possibly after Alpha 5.
  • The team hopes to also let players keep some gameplay items and advantages through resets.
Dev build
  • Challenges are personal and carry rewards that are meant to be account-bound; all current rewards are cosmetic.
  • Complete within the month; can carry Legacy rewards that unlock permanently on the account.
  • Challenges: discover every large stronghold, then loot the stronghold chest of each large.
  • Completed challenges show blue when personal and green when for the company.
  • Personal challenges whose rewards go only to that player; mostly cosmetic unlocks.
  • Cosmetic rewards include clothing, hats, coats, boots, furniture and mailboxes.
  • Challenges can be tracked on screen.
  • Challenge for short bow kills.
  • Personal challenges, separate from your company, unlock account-bound rewards such as cosmetics that survive resets.
Alpha 5
  • Redoing a challenge unlocked in an earlier playtest still pays its repeatable reward.
  • Fishing challenges were redone to be less tedious.
  • Mastery challenges are grouped into one entry with Roman numerals, e.g. axe mastery I to III, with rewards previewed.
  • New axe mastery progressive challenge; rewards not yet hooked up.
  • The big shot challenge distance was reduced to 50 m to be more casual.
Alpha 4
  • Challenges give two reward types: Repeatable and Legacy.
  • Challenge for killing small animals like raccoons, foxes and rabbits; tuning needs a pass.
  • Tortoise Mastery is a long animal challenge in the animals section.
  • Repeatable rewards pay bucks each reset; one-time discovery achievements persist across resets while challenge progress resets.
