This is a common misunderstanding about how the Monthly Challenge reward system works! Completing individual challenges doesn't give you Atlas Bucks directly.
How the reward system actually works:
Step 1: Earn Challenge Points
- Complete challenges → Receive Challenge Points (not Atlas Bucks)
- Each challenge gives you points toward your ladder progress
- These points accumulate over time
Step 2: Climb the Challenge Ladder
- Your Challenge Points add up to move you up the ladder
- The ladder has multiple threshold levels
- Each threshold level offers different rewards
Step 3: Claim Threshold Rewards
- Reach a new ladder level → Unlock that level's reward
- Rewards can include Atlas Bucks, Diamonds, badges, or other items
- You only get rewards when you hit specific ladder milestones
Why the confusion happens: Many players expect immediate Atlas Bucks after each challenge, but the system is designed around ladder progression rather than individual task rewards.
How to check your progress: Look at your Challenge Ladder to see how many points you need to reach the next threshold and what reward awaits you there.
Pro tip: Think of challenges as building blocks toward ladder rewards rather than individual reward sources. Your Atlas Bucks will come when you hit the ladder levels that offer them!
