Dead Rails isn't just about reaching that 80km bridge and making your escape; it's also about conquering a series of exciting Challenges along the way. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about tackling them.

What are Challenges in Dead Rails?

Challenges are in-game quests offering one-time rewards of Bonds and Challenge Stars. While some are straightforward, others present a greater challenge. No need to manually accept them—they're always active, readily viewable on the Challenges Board in the main lobby. Currently, Challenge Stars are primarily for bragging rights, with no other immediate function.
