Dead Rails challenges are listed on the Challenge Board in the lobby and, according to the community-maintained wiki, award Bonds and Star Points automatically when completed. The examples below are not a verified complete live roster: check the board in your current game for exact names, requirements, and availability before planning a run. Weekly selections rotate, and some event challenges may no longer be obtainable.
How the Dead Rails Challenge Board works
The community-maintained Challenges reference reports that each challenge can be completed once and that rewards are paid automatically. It also says players completing a challenge together can share credit, except for weekly challenges. Treat these as wiki-reported mechanics and check the in-game board if the current version behaves differently.

The same reference reports that each player receives three randomly selected weekly tasks from a pool of twelve, resetting Sunday at 00:00 UTC. Check your own board at the start of the week; another player’s weekly selection may not match yours. If the game shows a different reset timer, use the in-game timer.
The table below collects verified examples from the community reference and changelog, not every task available in October 2026. Requirements and availability can change; the live board is the authority.

| Challenge | Reported requirement | Run or mode constraint | Difficulty factor | Practical approach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resourceful | Craft an item using every basic material. | Crafting task; check the current recipe. | Recipe and material access. | The wiki suggests a Bandage for linen, or a weapon recipe using wood, metal, and components. Verify the ingredients in-game before crafting. |
| Prepared Survivor | Put five crafted items into the Loadout Crate. | Requires access to the crate. | Gathering and crafting five items. | Collect or craft at least five eligible items, then place them in the crate. |
| A Long Road Ahead | Kill the first zombie. | Can be attempted early in a run. | Low, once an enemy is available. | Defeat a zombie and confirm the board registers the challenge. |
| Bounty Hunter | Kill five Outlaws and turn in their bounties at a Sheriff’s Office. | Turn-ins need not be consecutive, according to the wiki. | Outlaws are armed and must be encountered; bounty turn-ins require Sheriff’s Offices. | Use ranged weapons against Outlaws and turn in each bounty when practical. |
| Dangerously Close | Kill a zombie while under 15 health. | Requires low health at the moment of the kill. | High risk: an enemy can kill you first. | The wiki suggests weakening the zombie beforehand, then finishing it while below the threshold. This is a risky tactic, not a guaranteed safe method. |
| Recommended Dosage | Drink ten Snake Oils in ten seconds. | Timed sequence. | Item availability and inventory capacity. | Collect or buy the Snake Oils before starting the sequence. The wiki notes that inventory limits can make preparation harder on mobile. |
| Master Craftsman | Craft 20 items. | The wiki reports it may require all 20 in one run or action sequence; tracking behavior may vary. | Materials, time, and stash space. | Leave room for materials and items. Check challenge progress during the run rather than assuming separate crafting sessions count. |
| Escape | Travel 80 km and successfully lower the bridge. | Requires finishing the run objective. | Long run; easier with a coordinated team if solo survival is difficult. | Prioritize survival and the bridge objective. The community reference points to its separate strategy guide and suggests teammates if needed. |
| Unkillable | Complete the game without dying. | Full-game, no-death run. | High: one death can invalidate the objective. | Prepare armor, healing, and supplies before committing. The reference does not establish a guaranteed class or loadout. |
| Pacifist | Complete the game without a player killing an enemy. | Full-game restriction; the wiki says Safe Zone turrets are excluded and that indirect kills by the train or those turrets do not end the run. | Requires restraint from all players; exceptions are version-sensitive. | Agree on the restriction with teammates before departure and avoid personally dealing lethal damage. Confirm the board’s wording and exceptions in your version. |
| Perfect Team | Complete the game with at least two players and no player deaths. | Team run; every player must survive. | Coordination and shared survival. | Coordinate armor, healing, and weapons before the run, and keep the team together where possible. |
| Tame a Unicorn | Put a Saddle on a wild Unicorn or find one already tamed. | Spawn- and route-dependent. | Luck; spawn details can change. | The wiki mentions a Unicorn Biome as a possible route. Treat that as a lead, not a guaranteed spawn location. |
| Experienced Traveler | Travel 160 km in Endless Mode. | Endless Mode. | Long-distance survival. | Plan for a sustained run and check the Endless Mode board for current progress tracking. |
| Endless Warrior | Travel 240 km in Endless Mode. | Endless Mode. | Longer-distance survival than Experienced Traveler. | Plan the run around supplies and survival rather than treating this as a standard finish objective. |
| Ruthless | Defeat the third Outlaw Fort. | Endless Mode milestone, according to the changelog. | Combat and reaching the required fort. | Build supplies and weapons for the fort encounters; verify the live board’s wording. |
Start with crafting and straightforward combat tasks
Resourceful and Prepared Survivor
These objectives reward preparation rather than a long run. For Resourceful, inspect recipe ingredients before spending scarce materials: the wiki’s Bandage and weapon examples may change with recipe updates. For Prepared Survivor, count five crafted items and make sure you put them in the Loadout Crate; merely carrying them is not the reported requirement.
A Long Road Ahead and Bounty Hunter
A Long Road Ahead is a simple first-kill objective. Bounty Hunter is more involved: the reported condition includes both five Outlaw kills and bounty turn-ins at a Sheriff’s Office. The reference says the five turn-ins do not need to be consecutive, so you can progress across encounters rather than needing five uninterrupted captures.
Dangerously Close and Recommended Dosage
Dangerously Close demands that your health be below 15 when you kill the zombie, not merely that you take damage during the fight. Reduce the target’s health first if attempting the wiki’s suggested tactic, but do not rely on it if the risk of death would jeopardize a second objective.

- Standard fit offers a balanced silhouette that's not too loose or tight
- High-performance moisture-wicking material with UPF 50 protection
- Snag-resistant fabric technology helps reduce pulls and surface damage
For Recommended Dosage, acquire ten Snake Oils before using the first one, then complete the sequence inside the ten-second window. If inventory space prevents carrying enough, plan how to obtain or stage the items before starting the timed attempt.
Master Craftsman
The listed threshold is 20 crafted items. Because the community reference flags a possible one-run or single-sequence tracking quirk, watch the board’s counter as you craft. If progress stops between sessions, complete the 20 crafts in one run if you can; the exact tracking behavior is not established as universal.
Plan full-run challenges before departure
Escape
Escape combines distance and a successful finish: the reported requirement is 80 km plus lowering the bridge. Reaching the distance alone is not completion. Since this is a long objective, prepare for the end goal and consider a team if survival or the bridge sequence is difficult.
Rank #3
- The Infect Edition includes the full game, an exclusive sleeve and 3 character cards
- A complete remake (visuals, sound, gameplay mechanics) of the iconic arcade shooter game released in 1998
- Play alone or with a partner, using the joysticks and enjoy optimised handling for more precise aiming
- Non-stop action to relive the thrill of arcade games
- Several routes to explore and several endings to be discovered depending on how you play (solo or co-op mode, number of continues, etc.)
Unkillable and Perfect Team
Unkillable is a solo-or-team no-death finish as phrased by the reference; Perfect Team explicitly requires at least two players and no player deaths. These objectives reward conservative play. Agree on who carries healing and protection, avoid unnecessary fights, and do not combine the challenge with a risky low-health task unless you accept the chance of losing the run.
Pacifist and conflicting objectives
Pacifist is reported as a full-game restriction on player kills. Its exceptions for Safe Zone turrets and train damage come from the community wiki and should be confirmed against the live board before relying on them. The reference also reports that Pacifist conflicts with several kill challenges. It notes possible indirect-damage exceptions, but those interactions are version-sensitive; separate runs are the safer choice when a failed condition would cost a long attempt.
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Scan for outdated or missing drivers - takes under a minute2Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errors3Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitchesThe wiki additionally reports that A Fistful of Dollars conflicts with Tycoon and Electric Remains. Those names and interactions should be checked against your current board; do not assume apparently compatible challenges will track together.
Rank #4

- An all-new prequel chapter in the 'Dead Space' universe exclusive to the Wii
- A deep and thrilling all-new story, new characters, new weapons, new enemies, and new puzzles

Endless Mode objectives
A changelog excerpt records Experienced Traveler at 160 km, Endless Warrior at 240 km, and Ruthless for defeating the third Outlaw Fort among Endless Mode additions. Treat these as mode-specific milestones, not ordinary game-finish conditions. Check the current Endless board because the changelog also records later additions and challenge-tracking fixes.
Limited and secret challenges
Unicorn Island Easter Egg
The community wiki describes striking a Strange Machine with lightning about 20 times in the Tesla Lab until a portal activates; it says an Electrocutioner can be used. Availability of this Easter-related challenge is not confirmed for the current game, so first look for it on the live board before gathering equipment or attempting the sequence.
UFO Easter Egg
The wiki’s reported sequence requires a Strange Mask, Brain in a Jar, Unicorn, Vampire Knife, and Strange Machine, then placing them at an altar after reaching 70 km. The associated event or reward is not confirmed as currently available. Treat the sequence as historical community guidance unless the current game presents the task.

Event tasks and unavailable entries
A search-result snapshot of the Challenges reference reports 20 challenges and marks Fool’s Gold and Eggstravaganza challenges unobtainable. That count and status are not a reliable October 2026 roster: the changelog includes later Endless Mode tasks and challenge-tracking fixes, including a temporarily disabled Survive Infected Town challenge during rework. Check the board for present availability instead of spending a run on a task that may have been removed or reworked.
