Every time you plug into the show, you do so as one of your virtual contestants.
Whether you prefer to grapple onto rooftops, charge straight through walls, or defibrillate your teammates. There are many ways to get ahead of the competition and wreak havoc in the arena.
From the Main Menu, navigate to the Contestants menu.
At the bottom of the page you will see a row of all your pre-made contestants.

Select the playstyle of your contestant.

From here you will now be able to edit the contestant to fit your personal playstyle.
Note: You can create up to eight different contestants, letting you tailor your roster to fit your strategies and playstyles.
When creating a contestant, the first choice to make is their body build. This represents your contestant’s physical frame and greatly affects their strengths and weaknesses:
Light – Exceptionally fast and agile, but has low health. Great for hit-and-run tactics, and specializes in stealth and evasion.
Medium – Balanced build with medium health and mobility. Specializes in area control, reviving teammates, and defending objectives.
Heavy – Built to bring the roof down, literally. Has the highest health of all builds, but slower movement can make it an easy target. Specializes in demolition and fortifications.
In addition to health and speed, your contestant’s body build also determines which specializations, weapons, and gadgets are available.
Each contestant can be assigned one specialization that helps them with everything from grappling onto roofs to healing teammates, and deploying a mesh shield that protects you and your teammates from enemy fire.
