The objective is to destroy any police car before you escape at the end of Chapter 5. Independent challenge lists describe this as repeated attacks on the vehicle until it’s destroyed. IllFonic’s September 17, 2026 roadmap post names this as one of four story challenges giving players the most trouble, and says the team is evaluating adjustments.
Independent challenge lists + official roadmap post · not independently playtested. References and scope below.The objective
Destructoid — All Chapter 5 challenges ↗ and IGN — Chapter 5 challenges and rewards ↗ both list destroying a police car before escaping among Chapter 5’s six objectives, describing it as requiring repeated attacks on the vehicle until it’s destroyed. Neither source specifies an exact hit count or a required weapon, and this page won’t invent one.
Officially named as one of the four hardest challenges
IllFonic — What’s Coming Next ↗ lists this objective — alongside Chapter 2 Challenge 6, Chapter 4 Challenge 5 and Chapter 4 Challenge 6 — as one of four story challenges IllFonic itself says is giving players unusual difficulty. IllFonic states the team is evaluating adjustments; see the roadmap page for the general patch schedule this would fall under.
The rest of Chapter 5
This objective is one of six for the chapter — see the full Chapter 5 challenges page for the other five (Blackout, Pitchfork execution, resident kills, the Wallace-house stalk, and escaping Loomis undetected). If you completed the car destruction but the challenge didn’t register, treat it as a tracking issue and check Challenges not counting before retrying blind.
