Challenge Mode

The Challenge Mode is a feature introduced in 0.8.1.0. It allows players to take part in a curated custom difficulty, often based on Professional, with predetermined rules and set of starter items. As players cannot bring their own items, dying in a challenge does not carry any significant monetary risk, encouraging players to experiment with strategies.

Regardless of how difficult the challenge is, it always has a base reward multiplier of 1x, equal to Amateur. The main benefit of Challenge Mode is tied to the "Complete Challenge Mode in [map name]" Weekly Task, which awards a substantial 5000$ and XP upon successful completion. Challenge Mode can be played on any map, and as many times as desired, but will not award completion of the aforementioned weekly task unless done on the intended map for the given challenge.

Challenges specific to Sunny Meadows cannot be completed by playing Sunny Meadows (Restricted), and vice versa.

There are 26 different challenges, which rotate each Monday at Midnight UTC. As of 12 December 2024 (UTC), the challenge is Deja Vu.
