Can You Play Once Human PvP? – Answered

There’s a certain thrill about looting and improving your character, then venturing into the most dangerous parts of the map to engage in PvP. It’s exciting, scary, and entertaining beyond belief. But it’s not for everyone. So, can you play Once Human PvP?

Is Once Human PvP?

While the overall focus of Once Human revolves around PvE gameplay, in which you’ll craft, loot, and build before venturing out and fighting Eldritch horrors across the world, you can play the game PvP.

Once Human features a selection of PvP gameplay mechanics, including guild battles, featuring numerous players on either side battling head-to-head against an opposing team. It’s unclear precisely what the rewards for such battles include, but we imagine it’s along the lines of resources, cosmetics, and bragging rights.

We’ll have to wait and see!

How to Play Once Human PvP

If you wish to partake in the PvP mode, you can join a PvP-specific server from the server browser. After you select your region, you’ll receive a list of available servers with information such as their name, type, and population.

On this list, the second category is the server type, which includes either PvE or PvP. You’ll join the latter to duke it out with other players across the game world.

Once in-game, you can party up with other players—randoms or friends—and form a guild. After that, go ahead and challenge another guild to open combat. It’s frantic, a little laggy (at least in the playtest), but serious fun.

We’ll have more on the game’s PvP in the coming days and following the launch in July!


The Guide Hall intends to eke out a living somewhere in a PvE server, away from large guilds in Once Human. We’ll venture out searching for supplies and weapons and bring you day-one guides!
