Challenge Cheat V1.2

Allows you to view and unlock challenges with a single button from a menu.

Advance or instantly complete Red Dead Redemption 2’s singleplayer Challenges from an in-game menu.

Features
In-game menu (default F9) with a submenu for each of the 9 Challenges: Bandit, Explorer, Gambler, Herbalist, Horseman, Master Hunter, Sharpshooter, Survivalist and Weapons Expert
Live status line per category, e.g. “Bandit 3 / 10”
Advance: applies one small step toward your current rank’s goal (one more kill, one more herb, one more horse breed…), the same granularity as a real playthrough. Goals with no partial step (records, timed windows) apply in full
Complete: completes your current rank’s goal(s) in one click, one rank at a time, so you stay in control of how far you go
All nine Challenges support ranks 1-10 (Horseman timed rides and wild horse breeds, Explorer treasure, Herbalist herbs, Master Hunter tracking, Sharpshooter Dead Eye goals and more), all tested in game
Progress is applied through the same stats and natives the game’s own scripts use, so the game’s normal challenge system does the rest
Works on a new game: a Challenge the story hasn’t revealed yet is unlocked automatically the first time you use it
Configurable menu key via ChallengeCheat.ini

Requirements
Red Dead Redemption 2 (singleplayer, build 1491.50)
ScriptHookRDR2
An ASI loader (dinput8.dll / ASI loader that ScriptHookRDR2 uses)

Installation

Install ScriptHookRDR2 if you haven’t already
Copy ChallengeCheat.asi into your RDR2 game folder (next to RDR2.exe)
Launch the game (story mode only)

Usage

Press F9 to open the menu
NUMPAD 8 / NUMPAD 2: move up / down
NUMPAD 5: select
NUMPAD 0, Backspace or F9: back / close
NumLock must be on for the numpad keys
Pick a Challenge, then choose “Advance N” or “Complete N” (N is the rank the click targets)
No popup appears on success. A message only shows if the action can’t be done (see below)

Configuration
ChallengeCheat.ini lives next to ChallengeCheat.asi in the game folder. It is created automatically the first time the menu is used, so just launch the game once.

[General]
MenuKey = F9

MenuKey (default F9): the key that opens/closes the menu
Names are keycap-style and case-insensitive: F1-F24, A-Z, 0-9 (main row), NUMPAD0-NUMPAD9, ADD/SUBTRACT/MULTIPLY/DIVIDE/DECIMAL, named keys such as INSERT, HOME, END, PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN, and a single unshifted punctuation character (matched against your active keyboard layout)
Not allowed: keys the menu uses for navigation (numpad 2/4/5/6/8, arrow keys, Enter). Use F-keys, letters or similar
An invalid or missing value falls back to F9 (and a warning goes to the log)
The file is rewritten on load with the values actually in use, so it always shows what the mod is doing
Changes take effect the next time you launch the game (no live reload)
F9, F10, F11 and F12 are used by ChallengeCheat, PokerCheat, BlackjackCheat and DominoCheat by default; change MenuKey if another mod already uses your key

Known limitations
Some ranks need a live condition. The menu tells you when it isn’t met: Horseman ranks 1, 4, 7 and 8 need you on horseback; Sharpshooter rank 3 needs a moving train; Sharpshooter ranks 2 and 9 need you aiming with Dead Eye already on; Master Hunter rank 3 needs binoculars/scope raised
On a new game a Challenge stays hidden until the story reaches it. The mod reveals and unlocks it automatically the first time you use it
Advance’s one-at-a-time counters (distinct herbs, horse breeds) aren’t saved across a game restart. Use Complete to finish that rank afterwards
Not yet confirmed whether the item/cosmetic rewards are granted for cheat-completed ranks, or only the rank counter advancing
Singleplayer only.

Troubleshooting
A log is written to ChallengeCheat.log in the game folder. Please attach it when reporting a bug.

Uninstall
Delete ChallengeCheat.asi (and optionally ChallengeCheat.ini / ChallengeCheat.log).
