What changed on November 13, 2026
Sawdog Challenge
The official announcement describes the Sawdog as a resilient new bot.
Anniversary Challenge
New cutscenes introduce Simulatron 1 and simulations of earlier Danger Zone iterations.
Summon Walker encounter
Players must defeat the towering bot before it summons an overwhelming number of enemies.
Choose a challenge for the skill you want to test
Weapon-restricted and enemy-focused challenges are useful because they remove familiar shortcuts. Instead of judging success only by completion, watch which attack, movement decision or upgrade gap repeatedly ends the attempt.
If a challenge depends on co-op, agree on target priority before the fight. The new Summon Walker description explicitly frames delay as the danger.
Keep the challenge list versioned
