Challenges

Challenges

The Challenges are more than simply different missions for you to do either solo or with a bud, they are also the primary system for unlocking new weapons and -- perhaps of more interest -- the large collection of accessories that you can kit your weapons out with -- like silencers and laser sights, you know, the good stuff!

You reach the Challenge Menu by selecting Challenges from the Main Menu -- and the Challenges Menu contains the following choices:

-- Be More Objective * / ** / ***
-- Parkour This * / ** / ***
-- Escort Duty * / ** / ***
-- Tower Defense * / ** / ***

Each of the '*' are a different level of the same mission -- one star, two star, etc.  Each of these unlocks its own unique weapons and kit -- if you look at the menu you will note that it specifically shows what each unlocks in its listing.

There are Achievements associated with these Challenges -- and they count for the Leaderboards as well.  They can be played Solo, or by 2, 3, or 4 player groups. 

The Objective Challenges are just what they sound like -- Objectives you need to complete in the specified time.  These are basically tutorials to play the game elements that you already know how to play!  The Parkour Missions teach you Parkour, the Escort... Escorting... And Tower Defense, well that is obvious.

The Challenges are not required elements of the Campaign, being strictly optional -- but they can be fun if you cannot find a PvP Match to play...
