What’s a scout?
February 15, 2020
A scout is usually a dead Challenger that is kept to level up and scout ahead so that a player can test certain areas out before bringing in their living Challenger....

What about the Goblin Glider Kit, Stealthman 54, Shieldtronic Shield, and Mecha-Blast Rocket? They are all “white” and don’t require engineering.
February 15, 2020
Yes, all engineering items are allowed unless they break other rules....
Can I use novelty toys (even if they are green/blue/purple)?
February 15, 2020
Yes, Toys are not meant to give you an in-game advantage....
Where can I find out availability of weapons/armor for irons?
February 15, 2020
The best bet would be to go to a site like WoWHead.com and look up gear. Filter by white / gray quality and by your class....
Can I buy armor/weapons from vendors or only what I loot is allowed?
February 15, 2020
You can buy grey or white quality armor/weapons as long as it does not break any of the rules only with the gold you earned on that challenger....
First Aid: Still okay? FA also teaches anti-venom, is that okay?
February 15, 2020
Yes. Bandages made from Tailoring (previously First Aid) are okay to use. While you can't learn a profession (except you wonderful Pacifists!) you can purchase bandages from the Auction Hosue. The anti-venom should not count as a healing or mana potion, so should not flag you. Mind you, we have not tested this yet as the anti-venom only works when level 25 or lower. Exception: Tin Man Challengers are allowed to use any potion....
Can I transmog or use cosmetic items?
February 15, 2020
NEW! Cosmetic gear is no longer allowed. You are only allowed to wear grey or white quality gear. Exception: Blood Thirsty and Green challengers are allowed to equip green gear....
My Character was Listed… now it’s gone! What happened?
February 15, 2020
I'm not entirely 100% sure. I suspect there is something wonky happening with the data being made available from the Blizzard API as I don't ever physically remove characters from the DB unless I see they are no longer participating in the challenge (like boosted characters). In all the reported cases I've seen, the character re-appeared within a few hours. If you see this issue, please wait a day or so...
I deleted my old Challenger and want to use the name again but I still see the original character’s info.
February 15, 2020
You can absolutely re-use the name of a Challenger. For characters that were deleted and re-rolled using the exact same name we've seen a bit of a lag for data being updated / refreshed on the API side of things. You will be able to look up your character on the Armory and it looks fine, however, the API data we access seems to use a different data-set. Don't worry. All you need is some patience. It seems like at the most it...
I’m having a problem listing / updating my character on the site!
February 15, 2020
First, you must be completely logged out of the character in order to force a DB update on Blizzard's side, otherwise we won't be able to pull your current data. If you've done this, typically a Blizzard DB update is almost instantaneous, however, there can be slight delays depending on Blizzard's usage / system latency / amount of Doom 2 being played on realm servers. This can as little as five minutes or in some very rare extreme cases TWO WEEKS. We should...
