I have had the game about three days, and have maybe ten hours logged. One of the major orders, supposedly lasting 8 more days, is to complete 8 defence missions against automatons. Another is to get 60 kills with the anti material rifle.

Last night I had 4/8 defence missions completed and finally had enough req to unlock the anti material rifle. This morning my progress on defence has disappeared and I don't see the anti material rifle goal anywhere.

What am I missing?
