    Seriously?

    Why is the "Hold Z to kill" still a thing in the PVE version of Survival? My buddy had JUST found a med kit to revive me when some ******bag walked up to me and rather than helping me back up, he killed me IN PVE!!!!! should not be a thing and is seriously infuriating that it is. In PVP yes, totally should be there but not in PVE. Its ridiculous......

    Rant over

    What is the criteria for this to work? I have tried to find out how to get this to appear in PVE Survival but nothing we have tried gets it to appear. We have gone down in the regular area and in the DZ area and we always have an option to just revive, never seen an option to kill no matter what we have tried as a group or solo out of group individuals.

    It's only an option after you go down and bleed out and the 5 minute timer begins. Solution: don't do this.

    So wait ive never seen this option but your saying if your fully down and have the timer running a player can either help me up or has the option to kill me and force me out of the game before my timer is up? This has to be the dumbest option ever added to a PVE style game and players shouldn't have that option just so they can steal my stuff and take away the option of someone using a med kit to get me back up. Im really beginning to wonder about the common sense and intelligence of the development staff, i mean does every aspect of the game have to include some form of player vs player conflict even in a PVE setting. The whole point is some players don't want to deal with any form of PVP even a dumb decision like having this option, i mean how many more toxic options are they going to add to this game, is it all about the whole being an ***hole is just so much fun? They really must be idiots or just enjoy creating a game that embraces the whole lets be jerks for the fun factor to cover up that they have no idea how to create fun engaging content.

    You mean to say if I get killed by an NPC in the Survival PVE mode I bleed out then get a 5 minute timer before I die completely? I'd rather just someone killed me and then I can start again instead of waiting around for 5 minutes.

    There is no reward for helping people in PVE survival so players kill other downed players to loot then and survive.

    100% agree with you. It's because the PvE version is an afterthought.

    I couldn't quite believe it when they announced Survival and said that even in the PvE version you would be competing against other players.

    If you're competing against other players in any way, then it's not PvE!

    Total BS!

    Exactly. Even the PvE mode promote PvP.

    There is no PvE mode.

    Wasn't earrly speculation about the dlc that the whole map would be pvp, so yes I'm not surprised pve was an after thought.
