Rewards are listed per task and summarised as “which tasks award which reward”. They are deliberately not added into one total, because the current data does not establish that every task in the chain is claimable in a single run.

Progressive vs Prestige

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

Why isn't this weapon chain progressing?

Check these in order

Are you using the correct weapon?
Only Hatchet advances this chain. A different weapon 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.
Is one step missing its previous-task requirement?
One task in this chain has a conflicting prerequisite in the shipped game data. Its card says so instead of naming an unverified previous task — every other field on that card is published as normal.
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.

Chain note: the shipped data contains a conflicting prerequisite for one step in this chain, so this guide does not show an unverified previous-task requirement for it.

FAQ

How do Hatchet's Progressive Challenges work?
Complete the 13 published tasks in chain order. A task only starts progressing once its published prerequisite is complete.
Why is my next Hatchet 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 Hatchet Progressive Challenges the same as Prestige?
No. Progressive Challenges are one fixed ordered chain. Hatchet Prestige is a separate 1–5 progression that draws from its own pool of possible Challenges.
What rewards do Hatchet's Progressive Challenges give?
Every published task awards XP and Perk Points, and 6 of the 13 tasks also award an item or cosmetic. Rewards are listed per task — this page does not add them into one total.
