Compare these two →Weapon Progression
Hatchet progression is three separate tracks. This page only summarises them and sends you to the chain that actually holds the detail.
- Weapon Level
- Progress belongs to the Hatchet itself. Using another weapon does not advance Hatchet Weapon Level.
- Progressive Challenges
- Sequential weapon challenge chain —3 Challenge Levels,13 published tasks.Open Hatchet Progressive Challenges →
- Weapon Prestige
- P1–P5 · base attempt cost3,000 Perk Points. Each tier has its own confirmed pool of possible Challenges. Open Hatchet Prestige →
Progressive Challenges and Weapon Prestige are separate tracks. Each page lists its own requirements, so check the exact wording there.
Hatchet progress not moving?
- • Make sure you are using the Hatchet itself.
- • Weapon Level belongs to each weapon separately — kills with another weapon advance that weapon’s own track.
- • On a Progressive Challenge, check that the tracked action matches word for word.
Challenges Using the Hatchet
Story Challenges are few and exact, so they are listed by name. Progressive Challenges and Weapon Prestige Challenges are whole chains, so they link out to their own pages instead of being copied here.
