Payday 3<\/em>‘s Infamy progress can already be slow, but challenges not working at the end of a heist <\/strong>can make the grind to raise your account level even slower. And odds are, the issue is likely not your fault.<\/p>
Challenges are the only way to progress your Infamy in Payday 3<\/a><\/em>. Regardless of how well you run the heist, you won’t raise your account level at all if you don’t complete any of them. To Starbreeze’s credit, there are over 1,000 challenges in the game (over 600 dedicated to heists and another 400 more exclusive to combat), but you could still finish a heist without crossing out a single challenge from that list.<\/p>
Finishing a heist without any challenges will still give you weapon and skill XP, but you’ll be locked out of progressing your account to unlock weapons, masks, and more. Sometimes, this may be intended (there’s only so much Dirty Ice you can farm<\/a> before you run out of challenges), but the fault may lie on the servers. Here’s why your challenges may not be working<\/strong> and an official suggestion on how to fix that.<\/strong><\/p>
