Progressive vs Prestige
Progressive Challenges are one fixed ordered chain. Richard Hawthorne's Prestige is a separate 1–5 progression that draws from its own pool of possible Challenges, and Richard Hawthorne'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 Richard Hawthorne 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 Richard Hawthorne'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 Richard Hawthorne 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 Richard Hawthorne Progressive Challenges the same as Prestige?
- No. Progressive Challenges are one fixed ordered chain. Richard Hawthorne Prestige is a separate 1–5 progression that draws from its own pool of possible Challenges.
- What rewards do Richard Hawthorne'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.
