Instead of trying to find something in one particular map for a couple hours, you can just simply unlock the character with a simple line of words.

How to Find Save File
The first thing you will have to do is to navigate to your save.json file.
- Program File (x86) > Steam > Userdata >1337520 (This folder might be different for, just check the last modified date, for example 11/8, which is the games release date) > Remote > Save.json
Do note that this will only work when you enter it after “flags” :[
So do a search in the file to find out where your supposed to mess around with.

How to Unlock Skins
There are three types of skins:
- Trial Skins
- Prism Skins
- Completing Last Providence Trial Skin
Every character has a completing last providence trial skin but its not always true for trial skins and prism skins.
To unlock a trial skin (only for commando, enforcer, han-d, miner, sniper, and pilot):
"challenge_unlock_character name_skin_a_completed",
,"challenge_unlock_commando_skin_a_completed","challenge_unlock_enforcer_skin_a_completed","challenge_unlock_hand_skin_a_completed","challenge_unlock_miner_skin_a_completed","challenge_unlock_sniper_skin_a_completed","challenge_unlock_pilot_skin_a_completed",To unlock prism skin (only for commando, huntress, bandit, acrid, mercenary, loader, chef, artificer, and drifter):
"challenge_unlock_character name_skin_s_completed",
"challenge_unlock_huntress_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_commando_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_enforcer_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_bandit_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_acrid_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_mercenary_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_loader_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_chef_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_arti_skin_s_completed","challenge_unlock_drifter_skin_s_completed",To unlock final providence trial skins (available for every character):
"challenge_unlock_character name_skin_p_completed",
"challenge_unlock_huntress_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_commando_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_enforcer_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_bandit_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_hand_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_engineer_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_miner_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_sniper_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_acrid_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_mercenary_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_loader_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_chef_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_pilot_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_arti_skin_p_completed","challenge_unlock_drifter_skin_p_completed",How to Unlock Artifacts
There are a total of 14 artifacts, 12 of them can be found in the map, 1 of them (artifact of prestige) is obtained by having 15 trials with a golden medal, 1 of them (artifact of dissonance) is obtained by finding its pieces.
To unlock the artifacts:
"challenge_unlock_artifact_artifact name_completed",
"challenge_unlock_artifact_honor_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_kin_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_distortion_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_spite_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_glass_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_enigma_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_sacrifice_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_command_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_spirit_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_origin_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_mountain_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_dissonance_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_temporary_completed","challenge_unlock_artifact_cognation_completed"Providence Trials Cheats
I suggest Visual Studio Code, a .json editor that can format the code to make editing easier.

The save Nise uploaded has “challenge_unlock_filialimprinting_completed”, which is incorrect.
If you delete the filial part, the item will correctly unlock!
The unlock line for Filial Imprinting is
“challenge_unlock_imprinting_completed”,
Add “challenge_unlock_gamemode_trials_completed”,
for providence trials
For anyone curious, I’m 90% sure this is the challenge for robomando. “challenge_unlock_robomando_completed”
is there some of rest i need to do in steam before it works or?
reset
Even when i copy and paste it comma and all, it still doesn’t work, why?
The Engineer is called Mechanic in game, but the code to unlock him is correct.
However, the Artificer is wrong. The code is “challenge_unlock_arti_completed”
Thanks mate!
inserting the text into the json file didn’t work
It works for me, but you can’t directly copy & paste what’s written here, exclusively
“challenge_unlock_enforcer_completed”, Including the comma, as it needs to be there to separate it from the following code that exists.
Thanks Maggie! We fixed it.
