How does PvP work in the game?

[Vanch]

I'm a first time player, and am just curious how the PvP works. I used to play H1Z1 back in the day, and loved doing stuff like building my base, defending it from other players, etc.

Does FO76 have a similar kind of thing when it comes to PvP? Are there PvP specific servers to pick where I'll have to watch my back from other players throughout my time playing? That's actually the kind of thing I'm looking for. Granted, I'm gonna be WAY underlevelled compared to a lot of people, so I can't see myself taking over the wasteland any time soon, but I'd love to be able to build a little stronghold and have the anxiety of seeing other players who might wanna kill me every so often.

I saw a video where there is an options setting to turn PvP on or off, but I'm not quite sure how that works, and whether it's for PvE servers only, whereas PvP servers have it on all the time?

Also, am I gonna be at a major disadvantage when starting out, if I want to PvP?


Thanks guys.

If you shoot someone you do like 0.000001 damage, this works as a duel invite.
If the person shoots back he does normal damage and it will work as accepting the duel.

So if you hit someone on accident you are at their mercy if they are stronger.

Is pvp fair? do we keep getting stronger the more we level up? or after some level everybody is about the same power?

After level 50 your weapons and armor do not get better. PVP is not fair, its broken and unbalanced. Just get legendary vampire's auto axe for example and spam nuka cola quantum which gives lots of HP and AP, then you're pretty much unbeatable. Legendary assassin's armor pieces reduce damage from humans, 15% damage reduction per armor piece which works on players too i think. Perks matter aswell and what your special stats are.

pvp in this game is pistols at dawn or being tricked into getting griefed.

There's no actual roleplay between factions which is sad.

Yes, and that's why most players do not engage in PVP I'd say. In the game play settings you can turn PVP off and unless you are in a workshop and being contested you should be safe, even if someone shoots you and you shoot back.

I only enable PVP to kill wanted players for the achievement and the disable it again.

pvp can happen at workshop when you hold them but pvp in tis game is terrible, unbalanced and in game aim bot, lol.

There are no PvP servers. You get what you get.

As was stated previously, if you have pacifist off and you shoot someone who also has pacifist off, they can fire back and you can then fight.

Workshops are also pvp areas so if you own one, you can be attacked regardless of your pacifist status.

If you are just starting out as a new player, and new to the 76 PvP game, you will be demolished by other players most times because they will have all the perfect equipment and buffs.

How long it takes to get that ''perfect equipment and buffs''? can a guy with like 200h in the game beat a guy with like 5000h? What level did u get strong enough to beat anyone if you have the good stuff?

Damage dealt is capped at 110 per hit marker in all PvP interactions.

Players who are close to the same level inflict full damage. Those who are severely different in level have their damage placed on a curve with the higher level player doing less damage than they normally would at their level, while the lower level player deals more.

Assassin's: -15% damage from Humans. (Maximum of 75% reduction)

Sentinels: 75% chance to reduce damage by 15% while standing still. (Maximum of 75% reduction))

Cavaliers: 75% chance to reduce damage by 15% while sprinting. (Maximum of 75% reduction)

Funky Duds: 200 Poison DR at Max counters Stranglers Sizzling Style: 200 Fire DR at Max counters Flamers/Molotov

What Rads?: 300 RAD Resistance counters Gamma Gun/Radium

Hardy: Reduces damage taken from Explosive by 7% (Maximum of 35% reduction) counters Explosive weapons.

Various other things food buffs, drug buffs, legendary perk cards, mutations, etc

Essentially, if you don't have 500 hours in the game and a solid understanding, you don't even wanna consider doing PvP.

If you get lucky you can get it in 200 hours. But don’t count on it. I don’t PvP so don’t cannot compare my skills and equipment to other people.

Last note, the amount of pvp taking place in this game is extremely low. Like very, extremely low.

You know what the worst about PvP? you cant eat other players anymore.

I dont know when they changed it but it used to be possible.

[Vinnolo]

dont bother with the game if you just want to pvp, its a huge mess, pvp is an afterthought here

It would be kind of cool if players chose a faction and then had battlegrounds to fight in like other MMOs. Just something to do outside of the single-player missions.
