02What it does

Challenges gives your regulars something to chase every day. There's a fixed list of eight goals. Players see their progress on the dashboard, and anyone who finishes all eight in a day gets the Daily Challenge Prize in their vault (if you've set one).

• Only linked players who are online are tracked.
• Progress only counts from the moment you switch Challenges on.
• Everything resets every day at 01:00 UTC. The panel shows what that is in your local time.
• You can see the challenges but can't edit them. The list is the same on every server.

03The eight challenges

1. 1Kill 10 Scientists within any 30 minute window.
2. 2Kill 10 players within any 1 hour window.
3. 35 kill streak. Dying resets the streak. Carries over.
4. 4A player kill from 200 metres or further. Carries over.
5. 5Red Card rooms: get 3 different rooms within 3 hours. The rooms are Launch Site, Military Tunnels, Underwater Labs, Small Oil Rig and Large Oil Rig. The first player into a room gets it, then that room is locked for everyone for 30 minutes.
6. 6Enter Launch Site 3 times while Bradley is destroyed. Each Bradley kill only counts once per player. Carries over.
7. 7Do Oil Rig 2 times (see Oil Rig Zones below). Carries over.
8. 8Play 4 hours today, in as many sessions as you like.

"Carries over" means unfinished progress survives the daily reset. Once a player finishes one of those, it starts again the day after.

04Turning it on

1. 1Open Features > Challenges.
2. 2Set up your Oil Rig coordinates and check the Red Card zones (below) so those challenges can actually be done on your map.
3. 3Add a prize on the Prizes tab if you want one.
4. 4Switch Challenges ON. This starts a fresh run and places the Oil Rig and Red Card marker zones in game.

Switching it off removes those marker zones again. Challenges is off by default.

The status chips at the top tell you if things are working: the daily reset time, whether player positions are being tracked, whether your map has a Launch Site (it says "Not found" if it doesn't), and whether Bradley is alive or destroyed right now.

05Oil Rig Zones

The Oil Rig challenge needs a marker zone on each rig so Surge knows who was actually there. Here's how it works for players: step into the marker zone to check in. They stay checked in for up to 30 minutes as long as they stay within about 200 metres of the rig. When the rig is started and its broadcast goes live, everyone checked in gets credit.

1. 1Open Features > Challenges and the Oil Rig Zones tab.
2. 2Go to the spot on the rig you want players to walk through, in game.
3. 3Click Use my Coordinates for that rig. It uses your linked in-game name to find you. You can also type X, Y and Z yourself.
4. 4Click Save Coordinates. If Challenges is on, the zone moves to that spot straight away. If it is off, the zone is placed when you turn Challenges on.

• Colour, size (X, Y, Z, all above 0) and rotation (0 to 359) control how the marker looks. Use Defaults puts them back.
• The status shows whether each rig is broadcasting, who is checked in, and the cooldown.
• After a rig is credited, it's ignored for 10 minutes so one run can't be counted twice.

06Red Card Zones

There's one zone each for Launch Site, Military Tunnels and Underwater Labs. Put each one on the red card room at that monument. The two oil rigs also count as red card rooms, through the Oil Rig flow above.

• Set the position with Use my Coordinates while standing in the room, or type it in.
• Each zone has its own colour, size and rotation.
• The first linked player to walk in gets the room, then it locks for 30 minutes.
• Anyone already standing inside when a room unlocks has to step out and back in to claim it.

07Prizes

On the Prizes tab you build one Daily Challenge Prize. It can be any mix of items (with quantities), kits, vehicles (with fuel), currency and daily wheel spins.

• Everyone who finishes all eight challenges gets it, once per day. There's no limit on how many players can win.
• It goes into the player's My Vault. Currency and spins are added straight away. Items, kits and vehicles need the player online in game to claim.
• The panel shows how many players have won today.
• Deleting the prize doesn't take anything back from players' vaults.
• Nobody can win while Challenges is switched off.

08Good to know

• There are no chat or Discord announcements for Challenges. Players follow their progress on the dashboard.
• If your map doesn't have a Launch Site, the Bradley and Launch Site challenge can't be completed. The status chip shows Not found when that's the case.
• Players have to be linked before they play. Kills and time from before they linked don't count.
