In the patch notes for the Freelancer update IOI mention that they have reorganized the menu order for some challenges in a more logical manner. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to apply to Freelancer challenges, which are a hot mess. After becoming annoyed with the chaotic and inconsistent order, I went ahead and made my own list, which you can find below. I’ve grouped similar challenges together and put them into categories that seem fitting to me.
Blurred text hides challenge objectives that are redacted or otherwise not explicitly stated. The name of the respective challenge is given in italics.
I hope you’ll find this list as useful as I do (:
Feel free to use this thread to discuss challenge related topics. If some of you eventually become the GOAT, you can tell us about it here as well. I think bragging is totally deserved for that ridiculous challenge. Even the reduced amount of 2500 eliminations is still insane and I’m not sure when or if I will get this myself.
