What are Union Challenges in Blackout Rugby?
One popular feature of unions are challenges. Union challenges are tasks that need to be collectively completed by members of a union. Unions gain experience points by completing these challenges. Experience points help the union increase in level which in turn unlock additional union features etc.
The number of experience points (XP) earned varies depending on the difficulty of the challenge that has been completed.
There are three levels of difficulty for challenges:
- Difficulty Level 1 – gives 200 XP when completed.
- Difficulty Level 2 – gives 500 XP when completed.
- Difficulty Level 3 – gives 1000 XP when completed.
Examples of the types of challenges and their XP values are listed below in the Challenge Packs section.
Each union has three slots that can be unlocked for challenges. Each slot can hold one challenge at a time. This means that there can be three different challenges being completed at the same time (once all three slots have been unlocked). The challenges remain until they are completed. These challenges come in challenge packs.
