Progressive vs Prestige

Progressive Challenges are one fixed ordered chain. Bob Simms's Prestige is a separate 1–5 progression that draws from its own pool of possible Challenges, and Bob Simms's Civilian Level is a separate character progression track. They share the word “Challenge” but they are not one system.

Why isn't this civilian chain progressing?

Check these in order

Are you using the correct subject?
Only Bob Simms advances this chain. A different Civilian has its own separate chain.
Is the earlier step in the chain complete?
Each task only opens after its published previous step — that is not always simply the task above it. Open the task you are stuck on below and it names the exact step it waits for.
Are you performing the exact tracked action?
Every task card repeats the tracked action the game counts, word for word. A similar action with a different counter will not move it.
Are you hitting the exact target?
Every task card also shows the exact target. Progress below that number leaves the task open.
Still no progress?
Recheck the in-game Challenge screen after the match and confirm you are looking at the same task in the same chain. If every condition above is met, a tracking issue remains possible — this page does not treat it as a bug.

Other chains of this type

FAQ

How do Bob Simms's Progressive Challenges work?
Complete the 15 published tasks in chain order. A task only starts progressing once its published prerequisite is complete.
Why is my next Bob Simms Challenge locked?
The next task depends on its published prerequisite. Open the task above it in the chain to see the required previous step — this page names that step instead of assuming the chain is always the next line.
Are Bob Simms Progressive Challenges the same as Prestige?
No. Progressive Challenges are one fixed ordered chain. Bob Simms Prestige is a separate 1–5 progression that draws from its own pool of possible Challenges.
What rewards do Bob Simms's Progressive Challenges give?
Every published task awards XP and Perk Points, and 15 of the 15 tasks also award an item or cosmetic. Rewards are listed per task — this page does not add them into one total.
