Kinda strange to have Challenge Markers in Stat's without having Challenge Info beforehand. And reallly 3000 GXP? How about enough GXP to get the costliest Module and the prize before that is enough CBills to buy that 15000 GXP Module?

If a Mod could move this to appropriate thread area please thought I had clicked the Start new thread in General Discussion not New Player Help, my bad.

Nobody in new player help is going to know any more than you do about the challenge, or be able to change the GXP reward. Not sure what kind of answer you'e expecting to get.

Rewards are cumulative though so it's 4500 if you complete all tiers. Sept 9 lance challenge was "get xxx number of points while in a 4-man" so probably the same thing again.

Having the rewards images posted before the announcement is actually fairly common. We've also seen the case where the challenge page links a missing image, but the actual reward is known from the filename of the missing image.

What Redshift said. This is so much the norm in fact that I had checked the challenge page several times yesterday to get just such a hint before it was posted.

I'm guessing they're preparing the event in advance. Something like setting up the stage for use the next day.

Its just a placeholder,the actual challenge is...

Tier 1
Think about playing 5 matches in the next month, win a free Masakari pack

Tier 2
Play 5 matches in the next month, win all mechs free, a year before everyone else gets them.

Tier 3
Win 5 matches in the next month, win the rights to sole control of the battletech IP and your choice of a Dev's car.
