Challenges are accomplished throughout normal gameplay by completing certain actions. Completing Challenges leads to gaining Badass Rank, which leads to earning Badass Tokens. These tokens can be spent to permanently upgrade stats for all of your characters! Challenges and Tokens are explored more fully in the “Claptrap’s Guide to Minioning” section of this book, but we list all Challenges here for reference.
There are many different kinds of Challenges, highlighting varied aspects of gameplay. Challenges are organized here by category. You can sort these in variety of other ways in the Challenge list in-game, too. Challenges are a sort of replacement for the weapon proficiency rating in the first Borderlands where players had to level up weapon classes individually, based on the amount of XP gained while using that weaon. This became problematic once you’d level-capped your character, though, as no more XP could be earned to work up proficiencies on gun types you’d undoubtedly neglected before! Here, each character can use each gun type equally well, and the differences arise from equipment and Badass Token expenditure. Equipment is explored thoroughly in the “Marcus’s Munitions Monthly” section of this book, and as for Badass Rank, here’s your comprehensive homework list for getting those Badass Tokens:

Level Challenges
These Challenges are tied to specific regions, rather than actions. They’re exploration-oriented, focused on finding hidden and obscure things in each place. Some are also focused on accomplishing certain hidden objectives during some boss battles. These levels are arranged roughly according to the order you’re likely to find them in-game. This makes it easier for you to match up with the walkthrough if you want to explore maps. It also helps you avoid spoiling anything for yourself if you start here and don’t go too far ahead. The further down you look ahead of yourself, the more likely you’ll run into spoilers, so watch out!
