Prove It

Challenges are coming to Hot Chocolate.

Surviving the campaign is one thing.

Now we're going to start asking how you survived it.

The first Challenges are coming to Hot Chocolate, introducing optional objectives that test how well pilots can perform under pressure. Some challenges won't care how many enemies you destroy. They'll care whether they can hit you at all.

THE FIRST CHALLENGES

The initial challenge set will focus on two simple ideas:

These are only the beginning. Challenges are being designed as additional objectives alongside the normal campaign rather than replacements for campaign progression.

EARN BADGES

Completing Challenges will award Badges that record what you've accomplished. They aren't just another score. They're proof that you completed a specific combat objective and will give players another collection to build as they progress through the game.

EARN EQUIPMENT

Some Challenges will also reward equipment. That means completing difficult objectives can directly contribute to building stronger or more specialized loadouts.

With three-item loadouts also on the way, Challenge rewards will give pilots even more equipment combinations to experiment with.

The campaign asks whether you can survive. Challenges will ask how good you can get.
