To truly activate PvP in Diablo 4, you’ll need to be Bloodmarked. It may be something that isn’t quite straightforward. If you want to attack other players in designated areas for this, here’s how to become Bloodmarked in Diablo 4.
How to become Bloodmarked in Diablo 4
To become Bloodmarked in Diablo 4, you have to bring up your Action Wheel and select “Mark for Blood”. Whatever button or key it is bound to, press it. If you do not have this mapped for any reason, do so in the Controls section in your Options menu.
By default, your Action Wheel should show you things like “Hello”, Inspect Player, and other basic social options. However, if you shift the wheel to the options on the right, Mark for Blood should be an option.
This will only be activated when you get to either of the Fields of Hatred PvP areas of the game.
What happens when you’re Bloodmarked?
When you become Bloodmarked, that means you will be able to target all other players who are not in your group in the Fields of Hatred areas. This then turns these regions into more of a PvPvE game.
Other players will also see you as an attackable target, so be prepared to potentially get one-shotted by other high-power builds out there.
Dying in these areas to other players will make you lose all current Seeds of Hatred. These are the materials you have to manually pick up while in these zones. Killing other players, on the other hand, will make them drop some of their Seeds along with an ear.
Ears have no purpose; they are simply there as a trophy for killing other players.
How to get rid of Bloodmark
To get rid of the Bloodmark effect, you have to find an Altar of Cleansing. These exist in the Waypoint towns of both Denshar and Alzuuda. These are the hub towns where you can buy items, upgrade gear, and store things in your stash like in other non-combat zones.
Alternatively, you can just teleport out of the area into a non-PvP area. Note that if you try to do this while holding any Seeds of Hatred, they will be lost.
