What are Timed Challenges?

Mini-Games For Trial EXP

Timed Challenges give players Trial EXP and basic crafting materials for completing mini-games found around the map. Timed challenges aren't marked on the map. Instead, players can find these by looking for glowing yellow symbols during exploration.

Players can encounter two types of timed challenges. One of them is a traversal mini-game, while the other is a shooting mini-game.

Types of Timed Challenges

Traversal Challenges

Traversal challenges will have your racing across the map with a timer ticking down. You will need to run across all purple markers until you reach the end. At the end, a gold chest containing Trial EXP and varying materials will appear.

Shooting Challenges

These challenges spawn mini-shooting ranges where little black creatures will periodically appear and fly around an small area. With each eliminated, more will spawn. Keep shooting until the challenge is complete and a gold chest appears near you.

Timed Challenges Tips and Strategies

Traverse Swiftly but Carefully

Helix Leap DNA
For the traversal challenges, make sure to use your entire arsenal of moves. This means sprinting, double-jumping, dashing, and most importantly, using the Helix Leap.

However, be careful with challenges that involve platforms and cliffs. You'll find that falling back to the ground is much more costly that taking a few seconds to measure your next jump.

Beginner's Guide: Tips and Tricks

Use Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles
When attempting shooting challenges, use assault rifles. Assault rifles are the best option as their large capacity means you won't be reloading as much while the clock ticks down. Their high rate of fire also significantly widens your margin for error.

List of All Assault Rifles

Turn Aim Assist On

Aim Assist
Aim Assist is available, even for mouse and keyboard players. This feature will automatically have your reticle snap and lock onto nearby enemies when shooting. Turning this on just for shooting challenges is a surefire way of getting them done as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
