Challenges are the equivalent of achievements and trophies, but can only be completed in multiplayer.
Overview[ | ]
Rewards differ based upon the specific challenge, the difficulty, and the number of items required to complete the challenge. Common rewards include Challenge Points, which help increase a player's APEX rating, Mission Funds , and reward packs, which can be found on the Rewards tab on the Store menu.
Mechanics[ | ]
Challenge progress can be viewed in the Prestige menu.
There are two types of challenges: minor and major.
- Minor challenges are usually single items for completion. "Earn Points Using Shield Boost" or "Earn Points Using the Zalkin", etc.
- Major challenges are a category of similarly based minor challenges or a single large accomplishment. For example, "Complete all silver assault rifle minor challenges." or "Earn a higher APEX Rating by gaining character levels, unlocking higher weapon levels, defeating challenges, extracting from matches, finishing missions, and resetting a character's level."
Major challenges are initially locked with only the Bronze level showing. Completing the Bronze level of a major challenge will unlock the Silver level. Completing the Silver level of a major challenge will unlock the Gold level.
Most progress towards major challenges count towards multiple difficulty levels at the same time. For example, earning APEX rating points for the Apex Rating - Bronze challenge, also counts towards the Apex Rating - Silver and Apex Rating - Gold challenges. There is no need to complete Bronze level, and then start again for Silver and so on. While a Silver Major Challenge may not be shown yet in the menu, when the Bronze level is completed, the Silver level will unlock and appear already partially completed. This is the same for the Gold level as well.
Challenges can also be based on level of difficulty of the multiplayer match. The challenges are the same, but the player is required to choose Bronze, Silver, or Gold difficulty to meet the requirements. *Daily* - Silver Waves is an example of a challenge that requires the selection of a difficulty level to complete.
- Progress towards a challenge using a higher difficulty does not give benefits to the lower difficulty levels. Completing seven waves of Silver difficulty only count towards a silver waves challenge. Bronze and gold waves have to be completed on their own to count.
- Platinum waves or extractions do not count towards the Gold requirements. You must complete those requirements using the Gold difficulty level.
Most challenges can be repeated and there is a counter in each challenge that allows multiple repeats. This counter will go up each time the requirements are met.
Some challenges are temporarily available with a countdown timer. These are known as *Daily* challenges and have to be completed before the timer runs out or any progress is lost (most are available for 24 hours).
Challenges are divided up into 3 categories on different tabs in the Prestige menu: General, Weapons, and Enemies.
