Challenge Rewards are rewards given for completing randomly generated challenges given to Tenno when they begin a mission. The challenge is displayed briefly at the bottom of the screen at the beginning of a mission and can be checked throughout the mission via the menu screen. When completed, a set amount of affinity is awarded across your equipment depending on the difficulty of the challenge.

List of Challenges[]

Here is a list of challenges, as well as the affinity rewarded upon completing them:

Name Objective Notes Affinity
Hacker Hack 1 console Hacking data terminals does not count towards this challenge. Only terminals that result in a lockout of key areas count. 1,000
Head Hunter Get 10 headshots An enemy must be killed by the headshot for it to count towards this challenge. 5,000
Killer Get 30 kills 5,000
Looter Collect 4 energy orbs 1,000
Pistol Master Get 20 kills with your secondary weapon 5,000
Exercising Power Use your first ability 5 times 1,000

5,000
Speed Kill Get 3 kills in 10 seconds Timer will start upon the first kill. Any kills within 10 seconds go toward the challenge. If 3 kills are not achieved within 10 seconds, the counter will reset to 0. 5,000

Swordsman Get 10 melee kills 5,000
Treasure Hunter Find 1 Mod 1,000

Notes[]

  • As mentioned above, certain enemies can be killed under specific circumstances to finish the Stealth Challenge;
  • Killing an enemy with NyxIcon272 Nyx's Absorb registers as a headshot kill.
  • As Update 15.0 (2014-10-24), Challenges are now displayed inside the mission in the player's Menu.
  • Challenge Rewards can sometimes be unobtainable depending on the mission; a player may get a Hacker challenge in an Endless Defense Mission, for example.
    • This is particularly evident in spaceborne Archwing gameplay; Rifleman and Pistol Master cannot be completed by any means, while Head Hunter is incredibly difficult to accomplish.
  • Exercising Power can be completed by performing Transference and going into Operator mode.

Patch History[]

Update 24.3 (2019-02-27)

  • Replaced with challenges associated with Nightwave.

Update 12.6 (2014-03-26)

  • Increased the amount of affinity awarded for completed in-game Challenges. More difficult Challenges get 5000 Affinity, whereas the easier challenges (Hacker, Exercising Power, Uber, Treasure Hunter, Looter) get 1000 Affinity. The UI will indicate the Affinity reward upon challenge completion. Affinity Boosters apply to this reward.
