Story challenges: chapter routes and reward checks

Official sources · Reviewed September 7, 2026. Gameplay can change between builds. Tactical recommendations below are editorial advice, not measured rankings.

How should I approach a chapter?

Read the full challenge list first, then identify conditions involving a specific character, object or moment. Those are usually more restrictive than general objectives. Make a separate attempt for a difficult condition if trying everything together causes repeated failure.

Why didn’t a challenge count?

Check the exact wording, whether the action occurred before the scene advanced, and whether your build has the current patch. Hotfix 1 addressed several tracking problems, but the notes do not identify every affected challenge. That does not establish that every unregistered action is a bug.

Which challenge route should I open?

Stuck on	Start here
A missing orderly or a failed stealth attempt	Prologue: all six challenges
The bar, broken pool cue or cleaver	Chapter 1 challenge checklist
Dead-End Job or a target-specific kill	Chapter 2 and Challenge 6
Preserving Chapter 4’s scripted windows	Chapter 4 overview
The Annie, Bob, Lynda and Laurie sequence	Chapter 4 Challenge 6

These routes identify their community sources and distinguish reported steps from confirmed patch changes. Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 do not yet have dedicated walkthroughs here.

Does story mode unlock multiplayer cosmetics?

The official single-player announcement describes unlockable cosmetics and additional rewards. Read the reward listed for the specific challenge. Story scenes also recreate film imagery; they should not be mistaken for a frame-for-frame transcription of every event in the movie.
