Attack log
What TornLife's research has established about Attack log, and the questions players asked about it.
What TornLife has verified
- A new attack log UI appeared by July 2026. A player complained about it, and staff graved the thread as low quality. No details of the redesign are given. (confirmed by Torn; New Attack Log Looks Like Shit, )
- The Torn Wiki says the Activity Log records every action a user makes, can be searched and filtered by category and date range, and all logs are stored forever. The page is marked under construction. (documented; Activity Log, )
- In 2020 the Activity Log launched as a Recent History panel button beside the clock, showing actions you made or others made involving you. A full page with search by category and date range was planned, plus possible API access. (confirmed by Torn; Activity Log : Recent history panel, )
- Interaction history tracking covers only about the past 8 or 9 months as of Oct 2025. (confirmed by Torn; Interaction history log, )
- Since Feb 2025 API v2 has 'torn' -> 'attacklog' for full attack logs. Large group fights are best fetched via '_metadata' links, at 100 rows per request though not always. Stealth attacks always hide the attacker, even from the attacker. A 'user' -> 'attacklog' selection was not created. (confirmed by Torn; Upcoming API changes, )
- The older 'attacks' API selections cannot process full logs, so results such as Interrupted can be inaccurate there. The attacklog selection was built to allow accurate processing. (confirmed by Torn; Attack missing from war report, )
- The July 2026 Attack Log update improved hit and damage display with compact notation. It added People panel selection to filter the Actions table to chosen players' hits, incoming damage and damage-over-time ticks, with search and sort by name, hits or damage. (confirmed by Torn; Improved Attack Logs, )
- The log has 'Important' and 'Simplified' toggles remembered per player, and 'Descending order' (formerly 'Reversed'). The attack log number was removed; headers and per-row timestamps show date and time. The People panel shows honor bars and faction tags. (confirmed by Torn; Improved Attack Logs, )
- Staff said in 2025 that a link from an attack against a player can show the huge final log when another player attacked the same target (Pinata) at the same time. Staff called this expected behaviour. (confirmed by Torn; Attack log redirect to Pinata attack log, )
- Attack log lines describe each action with weapon, rounds fired, hit location and damage, and the time is displayed next to it. In 2024 a player reported the damage figure was not separated from the time for screen readers. Staff passed it on to a developer. (confirmed by Torn; Attack Logs, )
- Staff asked for the attack log link to investigate a reported time display glitch in 2024, and passed on a 2026 report of a missing action in a log. Individual attack logs are the unit staff work with. (confirmed by Torn; attack log issue, )
- Patch lists record attack log changes: DOT effect rows added when a DOT is first applied (2021-01-26), DOT log order changed (2021-02-23), and the result 'Interrupted' replaces 'Escaped' when the target goes to hospital or jail mid-attack (2020-03-03). (confirmed by Torn; Patch list #181 : 23/02/21 — changes to Attack (2021-02-23), )
- A master log was added in June 2020 to show all participants and attacks connected to a single group attack. (confirmed by Torn; Patch list #144 : 02/06/20 — changes to Attack (2020-06-02), )
- Patch list 2020-04-21 added a side-scroll carousel for the Attack Log and Group Attacking panels on touchscreens. In May 2021 copy and paste of logs as tables with date and time was improved, and a 'View Log' link exists under the Recent History panel. (confirmed by Torn; Patch list #192 : 18/05/2021, )
Questions about Attack log
- Is there a way to view the full attack log in Torn?
Torn has no single page listing every attack, but each attack has its own log, and the full history is available through the Activity Log and the API…
