The Scorched Earth event has arrived in Hunt: Showdown 1896 and has brought with it a slew of Weekly Challenges. Completing these challenges is how players can earn thousands of Event Points as well as a handful of Blood Bonds. Every seven days, a new batch of Weekly Challenges will release, so check back regularly to see what’s next.

Where to find the Weekly Challenges

To find the Weekly Challenges, navigate to the Home tab up the top of the screen. Click the Progression tab on the left or scroll down to the section. The Weekly Challenges tile is beside Bloodline and Dark Tribute. Alternative, all Weekly Challenges are shown on the right side of the screen when in the Bounty Hunt pre-game screen.

Scorched Earth Weekly Challenges

The Scorched Earth event will run until October 7, 2024, and for each week it’s available, new Weekly Challenges will activate. Every player has access to five Weekly Challenges but those players who purchase the Battle Pass will get a bonus task to complete for a few more Event Points.

Assuming every single set of Weekly Challenges rewards the same amount of Event Points, and that there are seven weeks of challenges, and you purchase the Battle Pass, you should be able to earn 42,000 Event Points.

Weekly Challenges will be the main way you earn Event Points and level up the Scorched Earth Battle Pass outside of actually earning EP in a match. Take a look at our Hunt: Showdown 1896 page for more help with the new event and the Mammon’s Gulch map.
