Multiplayer and PVP?
Sorry if it has been discussed before or in another tread but couldn´t find any information. I know the game can be played solo or co-op, but what about multiplayer and do some PVP, like SCUM, please advise.

up to 8 players co-op or solo both PVE, that's it currently.

The store says it's got multiplayer up to 8 players, but nothing much beyond that.

The previous game did allow for player damage in the server options. There's an 8 player limit currently. So technically you could host the server, turn on player damage if this one has the same options, and there you go Bob's your uncle.

thanks everyone for all the information, hope they can implement PVP in bigger servers (not 8 player limit), game looks great, thinking in something similar like Rust, ARK and SCUM, anyway, gonna grab the game tomorrow and see what comes next.

When they destroy buildings.

And I'll respond to that the same way I did back then. Don't play with randoms in a game like this. Setup a server for your friends. If your friends are those types of people, well, that's an issue the game can't really solve.

that was why you couldn't have public games to try to play with random people, it would be cool to meet some new people but there was no way to stop one with insane hacks / destructive mods from joining and destroying everything.

This isnt a survival sandbox its a story with progression and an ending. You can play it as a survival game and not complete it but thats not how its designed first and foremost.
