==Tips==
*All Challenges involving killing enemies with specific Super Power or weapon can be completed during Virus Injection in south-west Sunset Park because of high amount of enemies required to kill (101). After the number is around 90, cancel Diversion and restart again to complete Challenges. Another way to complete these Challenges is during Fight Club Activity in Loren Square (only with Super Powers). During 2nd round high rate of Vice Kings spawn and they can be killed easily.
*"Distance Super Sprinted" Challenge can be completed during any Speed Rift or Blazin Activities.
*"Mech Suit Kills" and "Distance Travelled in Mech Suit" Challenges can be completed during Hard instance of Mech Suit Mayhem by replaying it as many times as needed.
*"Destroy Alien Vehicles" Challenge can be completed before "Hot and Cold" to prevent Warden from spawning by using either an aircraft or a Destructor and destroying as many vehicles as needed.
*"Destroy C.I.D.s", "Destroy Murderbots" and "Destroy Portals" Challenges can be completed during "Grand Finale Part Four" by destroying as many as needed.
*"Distance Travelled in Alien Vehicle" Challenge can be completed during "The Real World". Because The Ship is faster during the mission, completing the Challenge is easier. The mission can be failed as many times as needed to complete it.
*"Time Spent with Homies" Challenge can be completed during "Zero Saints Thirty" by waiting 2 hours. It is also the first Challenge that can be completed.
*"Targets Blackholed" Challenge can be completed before unlocking the Black Hole Launcher by activating Mayhem Activity in Loren Square, then going to Sierra Point and killing as many soldiers as required for the Challenge.
==Trivia==
*The Challenge data files refer to the Zin as Luchadores.
*"Super Jump Air Time" counts any time in the air, including jumping out of an aircraft without gliding.
*All 59 challenges were first shown on-screen on 2013-07-21 in a twitch video taken at comic-con.
