Run Challenges

Run Challenges (RCs) are special gameplay modes in Galactic Glitch with fixed loadouts, restrictions, and unique modifiers. Completing Run Challenges unlocks Golden UPs.

Overview

Run Challenges feature:

• Fixed Loadout - Specific prototype, weapon, and powers
• Restrictions - Limited abilities (no main weapon, no grav gun, etc.)
• Modifiers - Enemy buffs, permanent corruptions
• Rewards - Golden UP unlocks

To access Run Challenges: Build the Run Challenge Room in The Hub, then enter the portal and select a challenge. A challenge only becomes available once you've unlocked its required Prototype, Weapon, and all starting Powers.
