How to Perform the Barbell Press Execution
Weight Bench · Thomas · Returning Home Challenge 2
Use the Weight Bench contextual execution on Thomas during Returning Home. A normal weapon kill beside the Weight Bench does not substitute for the environment-execution prompt.

How to Perform the Barbell Press Execution
Keep Thomas available
Do not finish Thomas with another method if you are attempting Challenge 2.
Challenge
Reach the Weight Bench setup
Use the Weight Bench environment object. A nearby weapon kill is a different action.
Execution
Trigger the environment execution
Use the object’s own contextual prompt. Do not use a regular weapon attack beside it.
Execution
Confirm the Barbell Press animation plays
The Challenge only has a chance to count after this specific contextual animation, not a generic kill.
Execution
What Counts for Returning Home Challenge 2?
Counts
- The kill is triggered through the object’s contextual promptExecution
- The object is the Weight BenchExecution
- For Challenge 2, the target is ThomasChallenge
Does not count
- A normal weapon kill beside the Weight BenchExecution
- A different environment object or setupExecution
- The same prompt on a different target, for Challenge 2Challenge
The execution can be correct while a Challenge requirement is still missing.
Why Isn't the Weight Bench Prompt Appearing?
01
Are you at the Weight Bench?
The Challenge names this object. A different contextual prompt does not substitute for it.
02
Are you using the environment-execution prompt?
A regular attack next to the object is not the same action as the object’s own prompt.
03
If you are doing Challenge 2, is Thomas still available?
Challenge 2 names Thomas. That restriction belongs to the Challenge, not to every use of this execution.
04
Does the object still offer a prompt?
If this setup no longer offers its prompt, return to a state before it was used only when that one-use behaviour is confirmed for this execution.
Why Didn't Challenge 2 Count?
01
Did the correct contextual animation play?
If a generic kill played instead, the environment execution did not trigger.
02
Did Challenge 2 require this exact execution?
A different context execution in the same chapter does not satisfy it.
03
Was the target Thomas?
For Challenge 2, a matching animation on someone else does not complete the Challenge.
04
Everything matched?
Open Challenge 2 for Challenge tracking notes. Performing the execution is not the same as marking the Challenge complete.

Barbell Press FAQ
- Who do I use the Weight Bench on?
- For Returning Home Challenge 2: Thomas. That is a Challenge restriction. This page does not treat Barbell Press as a Thomas-only mechanic in every encounter.
- Is a normal kill next to the Weight Bench enough?
- No. The environment execution needs the object’s own contextual prompt. A regular weapon kill beside the same object is a different action.
- Does marking this execution as performed complete the Challenge?
- No. The local execution checklist is only for context executions you have performed. Challenge completion is tracked separately.
