PvP is a core content of New World MMO, although it has seen huge changes since the first version of the game. While there is a possibility to engage in PvP with other players and even fight massive battles over territory control, it is also possible to completely opt-out of PvP.

PvP is still a focus of the game, but only fair, consensual, organized and skill-based fights, not the type of griefing and player-killing that they saw in the first alpha.

New World now has a opt-in PvP system. You can only switch between PvP-enabled/-disabled in your player house or a settlement, then venture out into the world either completely safe from others or able to freely engage those who have also enabled PvP. To be able to opt-in to PvP, you need to be at least level 10 and have joined a faction.

The Criminal System that was in place in earlier versions has been removed.

Players do not drop items on death, another change from previous versions.

There won't be PvP servers, at least not on release.

Opting in to PvP grants bonuses such as 10% increased experience gain in order to provide an incentive for the increased risk. On the other hand the risk is pretty low compared to other games, because of the lack of item drop on death. The major downfall of getting killed is losing durability on your gear and having to use repair parts to repair the broken gear.

PvP is very skill-based due to its action-oriented nature, and player stats and attributes don't play as much of a role as in other games. In fact even a 10-level difference in player levels is supposed to be surmountable, meaning a lower level player should be able to beat a higher level player purely depending on skill.

Open World PvP is largely driven by PvP faction missions as of the time of the preview event, which send players to specific locations. During these missions, players have to be flagged up for PvP, and dying will reset their missions progress. Killing another player in PvP grants experience, faction tokens, gold and even items, based on the amount of time that the victim has been flagged up and alive. Players do not lose items in PvP.

A duel system was added in the December 2020 update and allows for organized PvP of up to 5 players per side.

Outpost Rush was added in March 2021 and features a 20vs20 battleground on a separate map.

Forts were added as open world PvP objectives in April 2021 and can now be fought over and conquered by any faction. To conquer a territory, a faction must have more members than any other faction inside the fort's control point for a certain amount of time. Controlling a territory's fort provides the entire faction with a 5% increased experience gain and 20% increased influence gain in that territory. It also provides a unique global buff to the controlling faction, depending on the territory:

First Light: Reduces fast travel weight costs from 5 azoth per 10 weight down to 1 azoth per 10 weight for controlling faction.

Monarchs Bluff: Reduces fast travel distance costs from 5 azoth per 100 meters down to 1 azoth per 100 meters for controlling faction.
