What are Progressive Challenges?

Each civilian has their own list of long-running challenges that build up over many matches, such as repairing cars, landing the final blow on Michael or escaping after saving residents. Michael and his weapons have their own lists too. Weapon challenges only count while you are using that weapon, even though the text does not say so.

What did Patch 1.0.3 change about Progressive Challenges?

It set new goals for every civilian's challenges and made the ones that ask you to knock Michael off his feet, or to blind, disorient or stun him, easier to complete. If your progress was already past a new, lower goal, any further progress toward that challenge completes it.

What is the Linebacker challenge?

Thomas Armitage's "Linebacker" challenge: Inflict an attack or act that knocks Michael off his feet 10 times.

What counts as stunning Michael?

Making him stumble: the hit that stops him in his tracks for a moment while he recovers. Knocking him down is a different thing and does not count as a stun. A rifle shot to the head is the safest way to get one.

Is Laurie's Quick Thinking challenge fixed?

Not yet. IllFonic named Quick Thinking as one of four Progressive Challenges that were not tracking, alongside Linebacker, Superstitious Tools and Craftswoman. The other three got new goals in Patch 1.0.3; Quick Thinking was not in that list.

Do Passive Challenges still lock after a prestige?

They can still show as locked, but since Patch 1.0.3 they keep gaining progress after you prestige.

Progressive Challenges for every civilian

Patch 1.0.3 reset the goals on 153 Progressive Challenges across all twelve civilians, plus a few for 1978 Michael and the Hatchet. Here is every one with the number it asks for now. Search for the one on your screen, or jump to a character in the grid.

The ones that got easier

Challenges that ask you to knock Michael off his feet, or to blind, disorient or stun him, are easier to complete since Patch 1.0.3. That covers these five:

Linebacker · Thomas Armitage
Inflict an attack or act that knocks Michael off his feet 10 times
Batter Up · Bob Simms
Inflict an attack or act that knocks Michael off his feet 30 times
Superstitious Tools · Rachel Callahan
Utilize items such as firecrackers, flashlights, or other mysterious items to successfully blind, disorient, or stun Michael 15 times
Stiff Arm · Thomas Armitage
Utilize items such as firecrackers, flashlights, or other mysterious items to successfully blind, disorient, or stun Michael 30 times
Craftswoman · Alexis
Utilize items such as firecrackers, flashlights, or other mysterious items to successfully blind, disorient, or stun Michael 30 times

Firecrackers, flashlights and similar items all count; what each item does is on the items page. Laurie’s Quick Thinking, the fourth challenge IllFonic said was not tracking, is not in the 1.0.3 list and still has no fix.
