Challenges are a mini-event system that allows players to earn cash and EXP by defeating designated groups of enemies within a 20-minute time limit.
Every 20 minutes, 4 new Challenges will appear on the world map as purple highlighted zones, and will last for 20 minutes unless completed within the time limit. However, they won't appear when there's an active Outpost Attack in any Outpost.
A level 30 Challenge will roughly give you between 8,000 to 12,000 EXP, and $2,000 to $3,900 Cash.
Also, your challenge progress is displayed in the bottom left corner of your screen, only visible whilst inside the challenge zone. And the challenge zones will of course spawn the required enemies to complete the challenge.
