The Last of Us 2 Remastered: All No Return Challenges and Rewards

Rewards from new boss encounters, hero skins, and game-changing mods are all available in when you complete different challenges in the roguelike No Return mode. The survival missions your chosen character can attempt in a run could unlock additional features. It may take time to meet every goal, but each challenge offers an exciting opportunity.

A run in No Return starts when you pick a character like Ellie or Abby, who both have unique skills that let them approach encounters with different strategies. The challenges within a run are divided into boss, core, gambit, mod, and hero objectives in. Many of these demand multiple runs, whether you win or lose against the enemy waves fought during missions.

The end of every run in No Return is punctuated by a deadly boss, but you only have one unlocked at first. In this game mode, six bosses make up the possible encounters after you defeat them all at least once. Many of these foes are familiar enemies that you may have faced before as either Ellie or Abby during the main story.

The rewards for these goals are obtained simply by attempting any string of encounters. Whether you win or lose, the number of runs you try in is tied to the prerequisites for core challenge rewards.
