I killed a shocker brute with a banana, that ought to count for something.
New challenge: kill a shocker brute unarmed, without Dielectric Capacitance.
I use no fancy bionics in my characters, its all the result of insane training from hell; and the fact that bananas don’t conduct electricity.
Ya know what, it counts because the mental imagery is hilarious.
Start game
Immediately find monacle

Goddamnit. I’ve found 4 top hats, 2 dog whistles, 1 a fish bowl, 12 Granades, have survived for almost 5 years, AND I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND A MONOCLE!
Is it me, or do some of these challenges seem more tedious than challenging? (I think it’s me.)
Well, some of them are, especially the ones where you have to find the monster in question first. Which ones specifically do you mean?
I said it like 5 times in the thread.
It’s kinda hard to invent a good challenge, though. Cataclysm is an open world game with a randomly generated world, so unless your challenge starts with something “use [stats here] char, debug in a hulk”, it has to be at least partially tedium-based. Especially since it is so easy to grind, meaning that older characters are stronger than younger ones and there is no limit to that power growth.
Changed some of the challenges. Instead of
Kill a tank drone in melee.
Kill a tank drone from 45 tiles away, no invisibility, smoke, or darkness.
there is
Kill a chicken walker in melee.
Kill a tank drone without invisibility, smoke, or darkness.

So it IS me. Well, at least I get to bathe in the misery of those in search of a monocle, trying to beat my fancy clothes milestone.
But going through the tedium of the challenges will be worth it, once I become god of the ants! (I call dibs on being an ant-god.)
Sure.
Found a cloak and a chicken walker nearby. Might be able to complete my first challenge! First I must re-learn how to take screenshots, due to not turning off RL skill rust.

Objection. The range requirement on the tank drone is specifically so one can’t use buildings to replicate the effect of invisibility, smoke, or darkness: hiding from the thing and avoiding being shot at.
Anyone can pop out from behind a wall and LAW/EMP/hack the thing. I’m not interested in your killing or capturing the tank drone. I’m interested in your Tanking the tank drone. 
Yeah, I changed the requirements after posting that but didn’t edit the post. Look at the OP.
“The tank drone must see you” doesn’t change anything: it sees you just fine after you’ve popped out and fired, or popped out at range 3 and closed to melee.
I dunno man. I want this challenge to be possible by other ways than just ramming a pickup truck into the tank drone. You can’t charge it, even Marloss Man Reborn can’t do that and I think of him (or a similar character with different mutations) whenever I post these challenges.

Speaking of which, I’d like some clarification on this: Do we need to collect one of EVERY stylish object, or just a complete set of clothes (like a hat, shirt, shoes, pants, certain amount of jewelry… etc?)
Just one set of clothing, plus some bling. ‘Set’ and ‘some’ are relative. This milestone has pretty lenient requirements.
