What are Challenges in Dead Rails

The Challenges board is conveniently located in the main lobby next to the leaderboards. Challenges are quests you can complete to earn one-time rewards of Bonds and Challenge Stars in Dead Rails. These range from simple to more demanding tasks, and the best part is, you don't need to manually accept them—they're always active! You can view them on the Challenges Board in the main lobby. While Challenge Stars currently don't have any practical use, they're a great way to showcase your achievements.

The Challenges in Dead Rails reward you with a substantial number of Bonds. You can use these Bonds in the main lobby to unlock new classes or purchase items for your next raid. It's generally advisable to prioritize unlocking classes with your Bonds. Once you've secured the classes you want, you can then spend any remaining Bonds on items that will give you an early advantage in your games.
