In New World you need to first enter a colony or get close to a spirit god, then hit "U" and you will get a notification saying "PvP enabled". After this, you can check if it is marked as PVP by looking at the faction stamp in the lower right corner of the screen.
How to flag yourself for PVP in New World
Hailing yourself for PVP in New World is simple. First, you are going to desire to be sure you sign up with some of the three factions, Covenant, Mauraders, or even the Syndicate. You will obtain the capability to flag yourself of PVP as soon as you have participated in a faction. You may just allow and also turn off PVP while you're in the community. While in the area, you will see a new image on the bottom left-hand side of your monitor. It will be your faction symbol with 2 sabers. Attacking "U" will permit you for PVP, and attacking it once more will certainly disable it. If the sabers are crossed, you have PVP allowed. You are safe if they are parallel.
What does the PVP flag do?
PvP flags indicate whether you can engage in or engage in PvP battles with players of rival factions. If a player's PvP flag is enabled, they can be attacked and interacted with by players of the opposing faction. If a player's PvP flag is disabled, they cannot be attacked by players of the opposing faction, nor can they attack, heal, or apply buffs or debuffs to targets bearing the PvP flag.
Players marked for PvP have 50% reduced durability damage to equipment (both in gear and backpacks) when killed by other players. Killing players who survived for more than an hour will reward 4x XP. Players who survive longer can be rewarded.
Flagged players will also receive a 10% Lucky Bonus and 30% Collect Lucky Bonus. Deaths in PvP cause 10% less durability loss than other deaths.
