They each offer something unique to help players understand the survivors' backstories, perks, and even unlock some cosmetics. There's a branching algorithm of various challenges that players must complete in order to achieve higher status and unlock character origin-story elements. Some challenges can be rolled-over across different trails and give players multiple chances to complete. However, there are higher Tier challenges that only give players one chance to accomplish.
