There are 50 challenges to complete in Resident Evil Requiem. Yes, it's a lot, but it is what you have to do in such a long game, and finishing them all is how you unlock the best bonus content in the game. Some challenges are simply following the story, so you won't miss them. However, others will actually push you to your limits. Either way, this guide covers every single one. Here is the full list of all challenges in Resident Evil Requiem and how to complete them.

What Are Challenges in Resident Evil Requiem?

Challenges are optional objectives tracked in your pause menu in the game. You can check your progress at any time, and your challenge tallies carry over even if you reload a save or start a new playthrough. Every challenge you clear earns you Completion Points (CP), which you can then spend in the Special Contents Store on bonus weapons, cheats, cosmetics, models, and more.

So, if you want everything in the Special Contents Store, you're going to need to complete all 50 challenges. Start early and track what you've already done.

All Difficulty Challenges in Resident Evil Requiem

Clearing the game on different difficulty settings will earn you big Completion Points rewards. Greater difficulties also count toward lower ones. So, if you beat Insanity mode, then it will unlock all four difficulty challenges at once!

ChallengeRequirement
Rookie AgentBeat the game on Casual mode or higher
Rising AgentBeat the game on Standard (Modern) mode or higher
Resolute AgentBeat the game on Standard (Classic) mode or higher
Remarkable AgentBeat the game on Insanity difficulty

The Standard (Classic) mode uses limited manual saves with ink ribbons, which makes it tougher to do. Insanity mode is another level. It's the hardest mode in the game, and this one will only be unlocked after you finish the campaign once. The infected zombies will deal more damage, items are also placed differently, and you will really need to know the game well to survive this mode.

How to Complete All Challenges in Resident Evil Requiem

Of course, you won't get everything done in one run because this is a long game to beat. 50 challenges are a lot to do, plus you have to do it while also focusing on killing zombies and solving puzzles in the game. Here's how to complete the challenges efficiently:

  • Always keep multiple manual save files at key points, especially before points of no return. The Care Center is the biggest one, since you lose access to it entirely once Grace leaves.
  • Play your first run on Standard (Modern) mode to get a feel for the game, then go for Casual on your second run when grinding advanced challenges. The easier difficulty helps you move faster and survive longer without healing items. And you can learn the map and other things easily.
  • Focus on collectibles early. Files, Mr. Raccoons, safes, and BSAA containers are the easiest to miss, and some of them lock you out permanently if you don't grab them in time.
  • Save the Remarkable Agent run for last. Once you know every room, enemy placement, and puzzle solution by heart, Insanity becomes a lot more manageable.

With 50 challenges total in Resident Evil Requiem and massive CP rewards on the line, there's plenty of reason to push through everything the game has to offer. Start ticking them off one by one, before you know it, you'll have the Special Contents Store fully unlocked. Good luck!
