Challenges are tasks that earn you Perk Points, which you can use to improve your character. For the most part, you complete challenges with little extra effort as you navigate through Hope County, but they are an important means to strengthening your character through perks. All challenges are listed in the Challenges menu and in the Appendices.
Challenges are divided into four categories:
- Assault: These challenges all revolve around killing enemies in various ways and with each weapon type. Some challenges even require you to run enemies down with vehicles. While you may gravitate toward using certain favorite weapons, if you don’t diversify, you won’t get the full benefit that completing challenges provides.
- World: This is the smallest Challenge category and includes things you do during the course of the game, like time spent playing Co-op and rescuing civilians.
- Guns for Hire: Your allies get their chance to pull their own weight here when your specialists or fighters gain kills.
- Hunting: Skinning various animals and catching different types of fish complete these challenges.
