COMBAT SIMULATOR:

The Long Dark Combat Simulator offers Challenges, Quick Start, and preset games. Beat 30 challenges for rewards.

Upon selecting the combat simulator (an activity that simulates combat scenarios), you have three options: play Challenges, do a Quick Start (begin a combat scenario immediately), or load preset games (pre-configured combat scenarios).

You can select the first 4 challenges at the start of the game. There are a total of 30 challenges available. Later in this guide, you will find information on how to beat each challenge and what you win by doing so.
