    Survival PvP - Not really

    Solo queue Survival in pvp mode really isnt about player vs players, its all about survivng vastly overpowered NPCs.

    If you survive the first 5 minutes of scavenging and noob players who cant pvp, It becomes a PVE mode and rediculous damage from elite npcs. Avoid them you say? Impossible if you want to complete the objective of survival....extract the antiviral....extract caches.

    To make PVP real, add 26 more players(50 total) and reduce the levels of the npcs. Thats real PVP survival.

    Edit: I prefer the challenge of solo queuing Survival because i want this new game mode to feel like H1Z1 King of the Kill. But I am finding its just a glorfied pve mode with much less pvp.

    Uhhh what? I have yet to be killed by any mobs in PVP survival....If you are getting killed in the Dark Zone, its because you went in there way too soon, and more then likely severely undergeared.

    EDIT: See origonal post. Solo queue.
    BS. You dont have time to gear really well, you're infected and will die regardless of medicine. Period.

    You're either playing world zone 1 where any noob can play or straight out trolling.

    I think you missed my point entirely. 24 players isnt enough, NPCs will wreck you 90% of the time before you can avoid sepsis shock and extract.

    Uhhhh..... I did read it. I solo que and am able to extract in PVP mode... Its really not hard. You have enough time to make it to full purple gear and get in the DZ and craft some high-ends... You just need to learn how to manage your time with Medicine/Pain killers it seems if you are dying to infection. And Im pretty sure that World Tiers DO NOT affect Survival.... So Im pretty sure you are the one Trolling.... K bye

    World tier doesnt affect survival. You can go in at level 3 and be 100% the same as someone in t5 at level 30.

    Get 2 green weapon parts ASAP, build a gun. That negates the challenge of everything in the outer zones, makes it easy to farm the level 28-29 red bars while looting buildings, gathering crap the whole time. The key to the whole thing IMO is getting those 2 green weap parts as early as possible. Youll get blue or purple drops from red bars farily often if you just engage them rather than run away. Remeber, the level 28 red bars are easy to kill with a pistol, so once you have an LMG or whatever, you can go ham on em. Just dont rush the middle, farm up a bit on the outside. This has the side benefit of letting you farm the idiots who DO run into the middle too fast. Good way to keep medicine and painkillers topped off.

    Also protip - build a green ~50% extended Mag while you are on the outer areas of the map - you cant build them once you get into blue/purple/gold crafting tables.

    With medicine and painkillers you can survive a very long time. The longest it took me was extracting at 1:39, and at that point i still had ~30 minutes on the infection timer.

    Great tips and all, but again..really not my point. In pvp mode....i dont want to have to deal with NPCs. During your run you mentioned.....how many players did you kill...or even SEE in the DZ once you made it there?

    And an Hour and 39 minutes? Must be the wrong mode for me. I choose pvp to eliminate players, extract antiviral, and be the last man standing. Probably why im failing to NPCs. I have no issues with enaging pvp players....but rumaging around for an hour and a half with only 23 other players, most of them dead 5 minutes in, really isnt PVP.
