This feature is exclusively available for WZ players, with four categories of challenges: Combat Expertise, Cooperation, Mobility, and Redacted.

Each category contains four tasks that unlock sequentially, totaling 16 challenges overall. The sequential challenge unlock applies independently to each category. This means you must complete the previous task in a category to unlock the next one.

The best part is that completing each task grants you unique rewards. Notably, the fourth and final challenge in each category provides you with a universal weapon camo.
