Last Updated:September 14, 2023|Change Log

Game Settings > Challenge Rift

A Challenge Rift is a weekly activity that begins on Monday at 1 pm Pacific Standard Time for NA and Tuesday at 4 am Central European Time for EU. They place the player into a pre-set dungeon with a pre-determined class, skill set and items selection that cannot be changed. You can move skills around to accommodate keybindings but other than that you're at the mercy of the Challenge. Take note that when Necromancer is the chosen class that everyone can compete still, even if they don't own the Necromancer DLC!

The first thing you might wonder is, "Who is deciding these Challenge Rifts?!" These are based off actual Greater Rift clears that players have done. The Greater Rift as well as the character are mirrored exactly, you feel the pain they must have felt! The difficulty can vary widely from across regions and from week to week. If you need assistance check out the guides below that are updated weekly for North America and Europe!

Challenge Rift Cache

In addition to the weekly Leaderboard a Challenge Rift Cache is rewarded if completed in the time limit. This Cache has quite the assortment of materials and a decent amount of them, doing this weekly throughout the Season is well worth the time it takes to complete.
