PVP is one of the ways you’ll be able to engage in combat within the new MMORPG New World. When taking on other players you’ll need to have your wits about you and know how to handle yourself. This section features a handful of our top tricks that new players might not catch on their own.
When can you start PvP in New World?
You cannot PVP in this game until you join a faction. That means you can’t PVP much before level nine. you might be able to get it at level eight but realistically you’re going to have to be about level nine before you can even begin. We don’t recommend beginning PVP right when you hit this level or when you join a faction. Rather there are a couple of things that can hold you back from being successful at PVP, and if you get into PVP at this level and you get throttled. We highly recommend waiting until about level 15 or higher before you PVP and the reason for that is you have access to your faction’s armor.
Prepare for New World PvP
Things you should do between levels 9 and 15 are sorts of prepping yourself. Then figure out what weapons you want to use and get some weapon skills unlocked for those weapons. Figuring out which weapon you want to use is probably one of the hardest things to do in this game because there are just so many options.
Once you have three active skills for both weapons and you’ve got enough skill points to do that maybe a couple of passive skills we’re looking at maybe level five or six of each weapon hopefully that lines up with the armor that you get or it should be close to that. When you chose which armor you get you should get Heavy armor.
I would suggest if you’re not very good at PVP or you’re new then go heavy armor. The reason for that is that it will keep you alive longer so that you can learn more when you go into PVP battles.
Use the right skill for PvP
In PVP particularly early on in the game but it’s also true later on. you need to have a way if you’re a melee character to close the gap between you and ranged characters and you need to have a way if you’re a ranged character to get away from melee characters. if you do not have the skill to do these things you are going to be in trouble.
Let’s take the great axe, for example, you’re going to want to have the charge ability, this is one of the best abilities in PvP. Because not only does it allow you to get in range of the opponent but it’ll move you faster across the battlefield. periodically so even if you’re two or three lengths of charge behind your opponent if they keep running and you keep moving you know fluidly and you keep using it even though you know you’re not going to hit them eventually. besides a gap-closing ability, Another ability that is a must-have for most builds is some form of crowd control. if you’re talking about great axe then this is gravity, if you’re talking about Warhammer this is shockwave and many more.
Crafting is Important
Once you’ve got your skills sorted out and you have your faction armor, another really good thing that you should do is you should craft food and potions. Food and potions are key to winning PVP battles. We know that sounds lame but that’s just reality so when you go out to PVP make sure you have
some food because otherwise you’re gonna have a hard time. Keep in mind that when you eat food it’s gonna give you a health regen over the next 20 seconds or so that’s much stronger than the health effect normally.
Look at their Player Level
Another tip is that you want to be looking at player levels when you first go out. You don’t want to be fighting somebody that’s so much higher than you, that you’re going to get wasted. The game does have PVP scaling meaning. It should protect you from very high levels but it’s not working with a player 10 levels higher than you. Make sure that you’re picking your battles and maybe you’re not engaging every single player that’s flagged up willy-nilly and you’re selecting targets that you think you can win against.
Target Priority in New World PvP
In New World PvP, If you’re in a one-on-one situation with target priority is the player in front of you. But if you’re in a group situation and maybe four or five enemies. Figuring out which one to attack is key to winning. If one character is very weak you probably want to finish them off as quickly as you can. However, if your tank is engaged with their tank while their healer is sitting behind them.
Keep in mind that even though you know that tank may be engaged with another player. You should focus on the backline like the healer or the range units particularly. Also if you’re a ranged character so that you can cause them to flee and make they can’t heal the tank. figuring out which target to attack when is a very difficult thing to learn because every scenario is different and you have to sort of evaluating after you succeeded or failed
Upgrade your gear before PvP
The last thing we would say is to make sure you upgrade your gear as you go over time. Maybe you don’t have the best gear or the best weapons or you have crappy food still. Over time other PVP players are going to focus on improving these things and if you don’t take the time to do that as well, you’ll gradually fall behind.
We hope these PVP tips have helped you and it helps inspire you to want to go out in PVP. So don’t feel like you can’t do it because you absolutely can. Hopefully, these tips will make you succeed a lot more than you would. If you have any other information requests, feel free to contact us on web-chat, Facebook.
