Tracks — Types and FAQ
Tracks are a progression system in the game that allows you to earn not only rewards, but also Skill Books required to unlock skills: Skill Trees
The basic principle is simple: complete tasks, earn Track points, and receive rewards.
There are two types of Tracks: Permanent and Seasonal.
Permanent Tracks
Most Permanent Tracks automatically restart after a certain period of time, with the exception of Frontier Trails, which does not reset.
There are several Permanent Tracks:
— Headhunter’s Track – refreshes every two weeks. It provides Headhunter Books required for progression, as well as resources that improve your combat performance.
— Craftsman’s Track – also refreshes every two weeks. It rewards you with Craftsman Books, along with resources and tools for gathering and crafting.
— Wrangler’s Track – refreshes every two weeks and provides Wrangler Books, as well as various items for your pets and horses.
— Frontier Trails Tracks – a familiar series of Tracks that unlock as your character progresses. These Tracks are not time-limited. When a new Track becomes available, you can speak to the story NPC in the new town. They will give you the option to either stay on your current track and complete it, or finish it immediately and move on to the next one.
Seasonal Tracks
Seasonal Tracks are released regularly and typically last for 14 days. However, there are exceptions — for example, the Winter Festival Track lasted 28 days.
They may be standard seasonal releases or themed around special events, such as Lunar New Year or Saint Patrick’s Day.
All tracks offer a wide range of rewards. Themed tracks may include exclusive event-related rewards, such as unique gear, decorations, or limited-time collectibles. However, special themed items are not guaranteed and may vary from one track to another.
Endless Tasks and Rewards
At the end of each Track, Endless rewards become available. This bonus system is designed for active players who have already claimed all main Track rewards and want to continue progressing.
Endless rewards unlock immediately after you collect all standard Track rewards.
Once you complete all regular Track tasks, Endless tasks become available. These tasks allow you to continue earning Track points and claim additional Endless rewards.
Each Endless task grants 100 Track points upon completion.
Bonus Track Points from Activities
You can earn additional Track points for Headhunter, Craftsman, and Wrangler Tracks by completing specific in-game activities.
— To earn extra points for the Headhunter Track, defeat bandit bosses of your tier.
— Turning in horses and pets to Vernon grants points for the Wrangler Track.
— Crafting firearms of your tier grants points for the Craftsman Track.
