What TornLife has verified
- Combat honors include chain participation (Chainer 1 to 5 at 10 to 100,000 length chains), single hits earning 10/100/1,000 respect, and 100 finishing hits with a weapon category (e.g. rifles for 2800 Ft/S). Others: Specialist (100% EXP on 25 different weapons) and War Machine (1,000 finishing hits in every category). (documented; Award (facts), )
- The Torn Lite spin-off gave The Socialist honor bar. The wiki says players rarely continued with Torn Lite after obtaining it. (documented; Torn Lite › Criticism, )
- The wiki says a merit is the currency awarded for achieving goals, generally given along with medals and honors. Merits can also be bought at the points building for 300 points, one for every 2 levels upgraded, up to 50 at level 100. (documented; Merit, )
- Gym honors: Bronze, Silver and Gold Belt for owning all lightweight, middleweight or heavyweight gym memberships. Stat honors are in a separate table. (documented; Award › Honors › Gyms & Stats, )
- The wiki says an award is earned by completing challenges tied to almost every aspect of the game. It rewards honor bars or medals, plus a Merit. Default honors need no earning and are available to all players. (documented; Award › Honors, )
- Crime honors: Graffiti has three (Fresh Blud for joining a crew, Let Us Spray for skill level 100, Urban Legend for 5/5 reputation in all seven locations). Scamming has three (Decepticon, Alpha Mail for skill 100, Grift Horse for $1,000,000 from one scam). (documented; Scamming › Honors, )
- Honor bars can also come from the Spin the Wheel prize. Staff say it is removed from your win pool once won, so you cannot land on it again. (confirmed by Torn; Spin the wheel "honor bar" prize change, )
- In 2014 the developer said Pyramid Scheme was credited to some people by accident and a player who lost it was not officially due it. Honors can therefore be removed if wrongly granted. (confirmed by Torn; Honor Bar Missing, )
- The wiki's new player mission tells players to open the Awards page from the sidebar, where all possible honour bars and medals can be seen and progress checked. Completing the mission step gives 250 Energy, 50 Nerve, $2,500 and 5 Mission credits. (documented; New Player Missions › New to Torn? › Start your Journey here! › Well on your way, )
- Merit resets cost 500 points for the first, then 250 more each time (750, 1000), capped at 5000 points per reset. Resetting merits earns the Fresh Start honor bar. (documented; Award › Honors › Miscellaneous — table, )
- The wiki counts 347 honor bars that can be earned. Some are no longer obtainable and display in red for legacy purposes. The page warns it may be out of date because awards are being reworked with Crimes 2.0. (documented; Award › Honors, )
- The Display Case has one honor bar, for maintaining an impressive display case of collectible items. (documented; Display Case › Honors, )
- In 2018 the developer agreed to show the date earned when hovering over honor bars, as medals already did. Before that, the hover showed only the description and rarity. (confirmed by Torn; Show Date earned on Honor Bars-100R+, )
- Miscellaneous honors include Energize, You've Got Some Nerve and Compulsive (250 refills each), Seeker (250 awards), Energetic (max 1,000 energy), Ecstatic (max 99,999 happiness), Buffed/Web of Perks/OP (50/100/150 personal perks), Decorated (100 total awards), Honored (500 total awards), and login honors for Christmas, Halloween, November 15th, Valentine's Day and New Year's Day. (documented; Award › Honors › Miscellaneous — table, )
- Some honors have odd or event conditions: Time Traveller (survive a rollback), Leaderboard (top 250 in a personal Hall of Fame leaderboard), RNG ('Who knows?'), Historian (read a chronicle). (documented; Award › Honors › Miscellaneous — table, )
- Default honors include country and non-country flags, Default, Standard Bar, and memorial bars for Philistine, Biccy and 787thWarDog. (documented; Award › Honors › Defaults, )

- Crime honors are being changed and vary between Crimes 1.0 and 2.0. (documented; Award › Honors › Crimes, )
- Both wiki sources confirm the Stock Analyst honor is one of the Stock Market category honor bars (grouped with Moneybags, Dividend, Monopoly, City Slicker, Tendies, Stonks, Bullish, Bearish, and Diamond Hands), so it is tied to stock market activity rather than any other game system. (documented; Award › Honors › Money & Trading, )
- Neither wiki capture gives an exact numeric threshold (e.g. a specific profit amount, number of trades, or percentage return) for Stock Analyst, unlike several sibling stock honors (e.g. 'Invest $100,000,000', 'profit of $10,000,000 in a single sale') which do have exact figures. (documented; Award › Honors › Money & Trading, )
- The 2025 Elimination event announcement describes how honor bars are typically awarded alongside other event rewards, but does not mention any specific reward tied to the Stock Analyst honor; no source in this pack states a reward (title, points, cash, or cosmetic) granted for earning Stock Analyst. (documented; Elimination 2025, )
