STALCRAFT: X hotfix lets every Triumph challenge count toward Faction Race
EXBO's 09.07.2026 hotfix keeps the Triumphator motif at 10 challenges while cleaning up faction progress and reward displays.

EXBO’s hotfix dated 09.07.2026 for STALCRAFT: X tightens up Faction Race and gives every Triumph challenge a role in the scoring. It follows EXBO’s earlier Faction Race update, which pushed the event toward steady activity rather than raw faction size.
The big change is straightforward. All 36 Triumph challenges now count toward faction progress, so a single player can contribute more points than before. The 10-challenge threshold for the Triumphator motif still stands, but the scoring pool is wider now, and the progress readout should be easier to follow.
Patch Notes
EXBO said the hotfix was applied without stopping the game servers. The rest of the work is mostly cleanup, but it matters for anyone tracking rewards or checking faction standings during the event.
- In order to maintain the competitiveness of the Faction Race event, all 36 Triumph challenges now count in faction progress. Thus, the maximum number of points a single player can earn for their faction has increased. 10 Triumph challenges is still enough to claim the Triumphator motif.
- Adjusted the display of faction progress percentages in the Faction Race event.
- Removed the display of coins in the rewards after completing 5 easy and 4 hard challenges.
