Challenges

Challenges provide extra incentive to complete, see, craft and kill things that maybe you would have ignored before—the incentive being Atoms, which are the currency for the in-game online store.

There are three different categories of Challenges: Daily, Weekly, and Lifetime. Daily and Weekly Challenges change regularly, while Lifetime Challenges are permanent and fixed to your account.

It likely goes without saying, but you will obtain greater rewards for completing more difficult Challenges. Most are tiered; you’ll need to repeat the same things multiple times to complete the harder version of the same Challenge. For example: Collecting 25 Wood will net you the easiest Challenge, while collecting 50 will knock out the medium Challenge. Jump that up to 100 Wood and you’ll have completed the hard version of that Challenge, earning you Atoms for each difficulty completed.

A Small Sampling

The following list isn’t all of the Challenges in the game—not by a long shot—but it should give you a good idea of exactly how Challenges work. As a quick note: the numbers in parentheses represent the number of times you need to complete the specific task listed before the Challenge is complete (“Collect a Bobblehead (1)” means collect a single Bobblehead, while “Take a photo using Photo Mode (1)” means take a single photo, and so on...).

Weekly Challenges

Lifetime Challenges

Lifetime Challenges are attached to your account, so any Challenges you complete with one character don’t need to be done again with another. Some Lifetime Challenges only appear after completing others. For instance: completing the “Reach level 4!” Challenge will unlock the “Reach level 6!” Challenge, while others unlock after you discover a new region or when you reach certain levels. These Level Up Lifetime Challenges are the only ones that can be re-earned on new characters.
