How to Claim Badges - The Hunt Roblox 20 Wiki
The bridge between earning a badge and owning its reward, and the exact order that keeps the anniversary timeline moving forward.
Overview
Badge claiming is a two-part process in this event, and understanding the split is the difference between a smooth anniversary run and repeatedly wondering why a year will not open. The game awards the badge, and the hub converts it into the reward.
Badge and Reward Handoff
The handoff between the featured game and the hub is the part most players miss, and it is much clearer in motion. This run shows a full year being completed and claimed, matching the sequence in our UGC claim guide.
The Full Claim Sequence
Run this short routine after every single year, because the habit costs seconds and removes the most common cause of stalled anniversary progression. Skipping a step is easy to do when a quest ends late at night, and the fix is described on our troubleshooting page.
Do not skip the profile check at the end, because the hub reads your account badge state rather than the in-game quest state. A quest counter can look finished inside the experience while the badge itself has not yet been awarded to your account.
Complete the year objective
Finish the anniversary quest inside the featured game, whether that is a knockout count or a full story chapter.
Wait for the badge
Let the in-game completion banner appear and confirm the badge is awarded before exiting the experience.
Check your Roblox profile
Open the profile on the website or app to verify the badge landed, since that is what the hub reads.
Return to the event hub
Leave the featured game and rejoin The Hunt Roblox 20 through the hub entrance.
Interact with the year podium
Walk to the matching year area and hold the interaction prompt on the glowing reward statue.
Confirm the next year opens
Check the progression track before stepping through the cube, so you know the claim registered.
Where the Process Breaks
Each failure point has a different fix, so identify which stage you are stuck at before doing anything expensive such as replaying a long quest. Most stalled claims are resolved by rejoining the hub. The full badge list is a useful reference when auditing your progress year by year.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | First Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No badge on profile | Objective did not fully register | Return to the game and check the quest counter |
| Badge exists, year pending | Reward never claimed | Rejoin the hub and use the podium |
| Podium will not respond | Stale hub instance | Leave and re-enter the event |
| Next year still locked | A prior year is unclaimed | Check earlier years on the progression track |
| Item missing after claim | Inventory not refreshed | Refresh and check the correct accessory slot |
Unique Target Rules
Several objectives count distinct targets rather than raw actions, which is why repeating the same interaction appears to do nothing at all. The counter is not broken; it is simply waiting for a different target than the one you keep supplying.
These four years are the ones where a repeat action silently fails to advance the counter, and they are worth checking against the badge requirements before you assume a bug. Each entry below names the specific targets the objective expects you to find.
Jailbreak Rescues
Five different YouTuber NPCs are required, so rescuing the same creator twice will not move the counter.
Sword Collection
Four different swords are needed, which is why picking up a duplicate from a dropped player does nothing.
Piggy Escapes
Two separate Book One maps must be completed rather than the same chapter run twice.
Berry Avenue Jobs
Doctor, police officer and air hostess are three distinct role lines, each with its own objectives.
Why the Split Exists
The hub and the games track different things because players are allowed to complete featured quests out of order. You can launch any game directly from the Roblox app, finish its objective, and bank the badge days before that year becomes reachable.
If the reward came from the game instead of the hub, that flexibility would break the chronological anniversary structure, because players could skip straight to the final years. Claiming at the podium is what keeps the timeline honest while still letting you play ahead whenever you like.
The practical consequence is simple and worth remembering. The badge is the proof that you finished the objective, and the claim is the transaction that turns it into an item. Our UGC claim guide covers the same routine from the reward side, including what to do when a statue refuses to respond.
Troubleshooting Checklist
Work down this list in order, starting with the cheapest checks. They cost only seconds and resolve the majority of stuck claims, so it is worth running all four before you commit to replaying a quest that may already have registered.
Only the first item on this list actually requires touching a featured game again, so resist the urge to jump straight back into the experience. The other three checks happen from the hub or your profile and take far less time.
- Rejoin the event — A fresh hub instance re-reads your account state, which clears most stalled podiums immediately.
- Verify the account — Confirm the badge is on the account you are claiming with, since nothing transfers between accounts.
- Check earlier years — A locked next year is usually caused by an unclaimed reward further back on the timeline.
- Replay only if the badge is gone — A genuinely missing badge is the one case that needs the objective repeated, so check the profile first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I claim a badge in The Hunt Roblox 20?
Finish the year objective in the featured game, confirm the badge on your profile, then return to the hub and interact with the matching year's reward podium.
Why is my badge not showing up on my profile?
The objective may not have registered fully. Check the in-game quest counter, and if it is incomplete, finish the remaining steps before leaving the experience.
Do I have to claim a reward to get the next year?
Yes. The hub only marks a year complete once its reward is collected, so a finished quest with an unclaimed podium blocks forward progression.
Why does the same action not advance my counter?
Several objectives count unique targets. Jailbreak needs five different YouTubers, Sword Fights needs four different swords, and Piggy needs two separate Book One maps.
Can I claim a badge from a different year?
You can claim any reward whose year is reachable in the hub. Years you finished early by launching games directly will be waiting once that hub opens.
What should I try before replaying a quest?
Rejoin the hub, confirm you are on the right account, and check earlier years on the progression track. That solves most stuck claims without a rerun.
Does claiming happen in the game or the hub?
Always in the hub. The featured game only awards the badge, and the reward podium is what turns it into the wearable item.
What happens if I never claim a badge reward?
The year stays pending and blocks the rest of the timeline, including Year Infinity. Our back travel guide covers recovery.
