No, because the challenge is to eat a hulk.

Pure Hypothetical here. What if one were to complete all the challenges and Milestones?

A loophole in a challenge… Can I kill a hulk, throw my hunting knife away and randomly pick up a sharp rock ,then (B)utcher it and eat what is not destroyed by the rock?
Also, can I sit in the front of a mobile fortress with multiple layers of MCA-plated quarterpanels and reinforced windshields, drive it on the front of a tank drone, then open up the stereo and read a road novel until the pathetic drone ran out of its cannon shells, then open up at it and give it Rest In Pieces with 8x mounted hypervelocity driver turrets? That’s technically two challenges. (and technically cheating.(literally.))

I suggest a new challenge: fill a stabilized portal (that’s 1 000 000 volume).

The hardest part of that is getting a stabilized portal. Otherwise, that’s WAY WAY WAY too easy.

New challenge suggestion:
(1)God among NPCs
Part I: Find an NPC a full set of heavy power armor( including helmet and hauling frame), a full advanced UPS and an awl pike.
Part II: Then kill him/her in melee.
(2)Nether Affiliated
Stay in the LoS of a hostile burning eye for a full day (in game), then survive the teleglow.
(3)The Rescue Team
Go into an unexplored hazardous waste sarcophagus basement with no radiation protection gears, clear out the Zombies down there, then make it out alive.
(4)Face the Music
Kill a shoggoth with an instrument while you are wielding and playing it. The music has to be on in the whole process, and yes, the attracted hordes are parts of this challenge.

Ok, slightly harder. Fill a stabilized portal with containers full [b]entirely[/b] with fuel where fuel means some liquid that can actually burn and be ignited i.e. gasoline, diesel, gunpowder... And then light it. The name is "the creation of Hell".
> Go into an unexplored hazardous waste sarcophagus basement with no radiation protection gears, clear out the Zombies down there, then make it out alive.
Suprisingly the underground level of a sarchophagus has [i]no[/i] radiation whatsoever. I checked that. And there isn't much to fight with so the only challenge is getting codes.

Teleglow is not deadly.

Meh, still not really all that challenging, just time-consuming. Find/make 55 gallon drums, travel the world siphoning fuel.

Well, it can give you fungus infection, mutate you randomly (which can be pretty bad if you don’t have robust genetics), and I think occasionally teleport you? Maybe it doesn’t do that one anymore, but those can be pretty serious is you’re not prepared.
Of course, that’s still fairly tame for the challenges around here.

Sure, whatever. I’m looking forward to seeing you try that second one.

This is the only challenging challenge that hasn’t already been said in another form. Someone try it and see how hard it is.

A new challenge idea.
Saya tries to fulfill the program
Create a new character with 13-15-17-9 stats. [clearly she is not a human] [she’s also an actual ball of tentacles of guts, pus, shit, blood, fat, piss, whatever bodily liquids you can think of]
Mutations:
Also Psychopath if you want it.
All of these fit canon Saya.
CBMs:
Install Repair Nanobots CBM, around ~3000 of energy storage and Metabolic Interchange right away using debug.
You have to play in a world with random NPCs.
Any bashing, cutting, piercing damage can be healed using debug menu, it’s not prohibited.
However any damage from temperature and shock is deemed extremely dangerous and must be healed using first-aid kits only. Not even Repair Nanobots CBM. You task is to find an NPC and somehow make them agree to any of your proposals with 100% i.e. gaining maximum trust.
Enjoy being gross slimy piece of cute shit.

That’s really complicated for a challenge. Can you make that into a few sentences? Also, that involves making a new character and the challenges are supposed to be doable by any character.
