what is PVP?

Doing an assignment just now and says I need 25 hip shot kills in a round lol
and 17 hip shot kills in one round PVP
What is PVP?

PVP means normal Multiplayer mode or Firestorm. Unfortunately the description of this assignment is not clear. So try both modes and see where this assignment works.

Multiplayer. And if it’s 17 in one round good luck. When I was a noob in multiplayer years ago I don’t think got close to 17 kills in a round for 3 months.

PvP = Player versus Player.. so yes, only works in Multiplayer

WTF did they not just say Multiplayer instead of something we haven’t heard of before and supposed to know!
Am I so old that I can’t get down with the new lingo?

because of the influx of cheating, it may take longer than 3 months, it is horrible right now

Because it excludes Combined Arms, which is also multiplayer, but whoever is responsible for writing assignment text is just too dumb to say “multiplayer excluding combined arms”.

Pretty sure the OP is working on the Karabin Mastery V. In that case it is 7 hipfire kills in a life, or 25 hipfire kill in a round, in PVP.
