Challenges in Dead Rails are quests designed to enhance your gameplay by offering one-time rewards of Bonds and Challenge Stars. These quests vary in difficulty, with some being straightforward and others requiring more skill. You don't need to manually accept them; they are always active and can be viewed on the Challenges Board in the main lobby. Currently, Challenge Stars serve as a badge of honor, showcasing your achievements but not contributing to any in-game functionality.

Challenges reward you with a lot of Bonds

Bonds earned from Challenges can be spent in the main lobby to unlock new classes or purchase items for your next raid. It's advisable to prioritize unlocking new classes with your Bonds. Once you've secured the classes you need, you can then use any remaining Bonds to acquire helpful items that will give you an edge in your early raids.
