Explorer Challenges are gameplay challenges which involve finding treasures in the single-player of Red Dead Redemption 2.

The first rank is gained upon the player acquiring their very first treasure map. The 1st map of any of the following treasure hunts can unlock Rank 1 of Explorer Challenges:

After the 1st rank of Explorer Challenges is unlocked, finding/acquiring first maps of any of the remaining treasure hunts won't count towards any of the subsequent Explorer Challenge ranks. The 1st map of High Stakes Treasure Hunt isn't included in the list above, since it can't be the very first treasure map the player acquires (High Stakes Treasure Hunt becomes available only after the 1st Jack Hall Gang treasure map is acquired from Maximo).

The requirement to "find a treasure" to unlock Ranks 2-10 counts both finding the final treasure at the end of a treasure hunt, or finding an intermediate map within a treasure map chain. Therefore, completing all 10 ranks generally only requires completing 3-4 map chains, so it is possible to do as Arthur. Here's a complete list of all intermediate maps and treasures that unlock Ranks 2-10 of Explorer Challenges:

Finding the maps or the treasures of Torn Treasure Map and Sketched Map treasure hunts does not count towards any of the 'Explorer' challenges.
