How to Enable PvP in Diablo 4

Let’s be real for a second here. There are a few types of people in most games, and Diablo 4 is no exception: you have people who speedrun the main story before dropping the game, those that do every side quest available, and those who thrive on PvP and only do missions to get better fighting gear.

How to Turn PvP On and Off in Diablo 4

To turn on PvP in Diablo 4, you’ll want to venture out into the Fields of Hatred in Kehjistan or the Dry Steppes. From here, you can go into your emote wheel and activate Mark for Blood, becoming Bloodmarked as a result. If you want to turn PvP off and clear your Bloodmarked status, leave the Fields of Hatred or visit an Altar of Cleansing in Denshar or Alzuuda.

Activating Mark for Blood for PvP in Diablo 4

To begin your PvP adventure, head into your emote wheel and select Mark for Blood. If it isn’t there, go into Customize > Misc > Mark for Blood and add it to your emote wheel before saving your changes. Now, whenever you enter the Fields of Hatred, you can activate this and fight other players!
