    I’ve seen youtubers redeem on multiple characters and it seems they do not level scale, they are default at that level.

  5. Scott says:

    Yes but if I redeem them on one character will I not be able to with another character? Are the items a one time redeem such in the case of the toy guns and grenade? Or can I redeem them as many times as I like? Because I don’t want to redeem them now and permanently not being able to get a higher level one.
