Mortal Kombat 1's Weekly And Daily Challenges Are Bugged
Like past games in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 has weekly and daily challenges. Completing these gets you in-game currency, and completing a set number earns you a cosmetic. In the first week of early access, these challenges rewarded players with a Li Mei skin, but due to bugged progression, not everyone earned it.
The objectives were pretty simple, like block 20 times or connect 50 uppercuts. Unfortunately, the challenges didn't track properly. I played Invasions, towers, and the online Kombat League to see if it was a problem with the game mode, but my uppercuts stayed forever at six out of 50. Blocks never went past two. As such, I didn't get the Li Mei skin, and similar reports are surfacing online, pointing to this being a widespread issue.

Several replied to TheThiny's tweet to back up his claims, confirming that they had also run into this bug. "Yeah, stats are all over the place, it's even [telling me I only] played for like two hours, when I've cleared story and Invasions [and] only need six trophies to platinum," @ringy5421 said.
Over on the Mortal Kombat Leaks subreddit, others claimed to have run into the same progression bug. Luckily, one user discovered a workaround. "SOLUTION FOR THE UPPERCUT CHALLENGE: go to the boss stage on Sun Do in invasions," Vikat1 said. "Pick a character with low damage like Rain, set a relic that gives minus 25 percent damage. You can get the 50 in one match. Still don't have the Li Mei skin
