Achievements don't unlock in challenge runs?

[Banana Boat]

Is that expected behaviour? Made it to 400 bucks and the achievement didn't pop

Achievements, unlocks, win streak, nothing counts in challenge runs - except checking off the challenge itself.

you can only do everything in unseeded normal runs.

Challenges do not unlock anything. Except challenge related achievements.

Honestly, I see it as a missed opportunity, it could have worked differently. Maybe not for most achievements, but at the very least for unlocking all cards and adding them to our collection.

It would not ruin anything. Things unlocked in challenges would make players feel good about themselves. "Look at me, so smart, that card was so easy to unlock in that challenge". If it saves them a couple hours spent grinding for cards, so what? It would also add a reason to try some challenges.

Personally, my collection is complete, I did beat all challenges, so it doesn't matter to me. I just think it could work differently for those who have not completed their collection yet, that's all.

I don't see any reason not to allow unlocks in challenge runs but this game has a lot of stupid stuff, like being forced to unlock stakes on each separate deck or having to get gold stake mark on every single joker in the game. Just mind numbing grind.

It makes certain things trivially easy to get.
The rich gets richer challenge will easily let you hit $400 for example

The alternative involves doing white stake and rolling for economy jokers and vouchers until you hit the jackpot. Unless you think that's more enjoyable than doing a single challenge run.

I just found out with doing a royal flush in a challenge, it didn't unlock the achievement, I'm sad :'(

Or just play the game and try and get it normally? They are achievements, achieve them?

I thought I got an achievement in a challenge run… (except for the obvious win a challenge run), but I must be mistaken
