The Abstergo Challenges refer to a section in the main menu that features 70 challenges that you can attempt during the game. They are awarded for completing an assortment of different tasks related to all facets of the game from nabbing collectibles, to exploration and combat. These challenges are divided into seven different categories and within each category, there are challenges ranked at three different levels of difficulty.
You will be able to undertake these challenges pretty much from the get go and I would recommend playing through the game as per normal as you will unlock quite a few of them just doing your own thing. Once you have completed the game, you should then head into the menu and knock off those that remain incomplete.
Note that the challenges can be viewed and their progress tracked from the Abstergo Challenge section in the main menu.
- For every five challenges you complete, you will unlock a cheat.
- For completing 35 challenges, you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘Dedicated Employee’.
