FAQ - How to find Spotlight challenges
Spotlight challenges rotate through all playable areas every week, so you may see them in San Van, Grom, Stadium or SUMR camp. I've noticed a lot of people have issues with finding these challenges, so I figured I would explain how to find them each week as quickly as possible.
1: Reading the area transfer menu
- In Red, are the normal challenges that are available - not spotlighted. If all the challenges are spotlighted, this will disappear
- In Green, the amount of spotlighted challenges in the area are shown. If this category doesn't show, it means there are no spotlighted challenges to complete
- In Blue, those are the missions to complete in that area.
If you see only 2 to 3 spotlight challenges, that means that the OTLs have been spotlighted and those never change location, you just need to find the right burrough that they're in if it's SV. The rest of the spotlighted challenges will usually be in another map.
2: Finding them on the map
Spotlight challenges glow like this on the map. Spotlighted challenges do not refresh all the goals, so you don't get to beat the challenge and get all the tix for every goal. They only add a new goal to the challenge: complete all the goals. This is called "Shutting down" a challenge.
I'd already completed this one, but there is a tix reward.Sometimes, Spotlight challenges are needed to complete monthly or weekly bounties. In season 5, there's a bounty to complete 20 spotlighted challenges - you have two options.
- Complete all spotlighted challenges every week and just let the bounty complete naturally over time. Bounties only disappear at the end of the seasion, so there's no rush.
- Complete all spotlighted challenges, and then repeat an easy spotlighted challenge for however many of the 20 completes you have to get.
Hopefully this helps and people will see this post and save themselves some time waiting for an answer.
