The Diablo 4 Fields of Hatred offer a unique gameplay experience found nowhere else in the world of Sanctuary. This is an alluring activity to complete, though it’s not without its challenges. But, what are the Fields of Hatred in Diablo 4? Well, this guide will cover everything there is to know right now about these Diablo 4 PvP arenas. We’ll also go over the Diablo 4 Fields of Hatred locations and rewards, available in these unique gameplay zones.

It’s possible that you’ll come across the Diablo 4 Fields of Hatred as you’re completing quests and exploring the Diablo 4 map of Sanctuary, though it will be risky to head in. Though each of the Diablo 4 classes are distinct and powerful in their own right, they’re not all equally powerful. Understanding the current Diablo 4 class tier list to find the best class will no doubt come in handy if you dare enter the Fields of Hatred.

What are the Diablo 4 Fields of Hatred?

In Diablo 4, Fields of Hatred are designated PvP areas in the open world that have been corrupted after Lilith’s return to Sanctuary. Within them, you can battle other players for the chance to earn desirable rewards.

Details about the Fields of Hatred were first revealed in the Diablo 4 Into the Endgame developer diary, which you can watch below.

Found in the open world of Sanctuary, this Diablo 4 endgame activity will see players able to engage in PvP combat. Killing other players and monsters, alongside completing activities in the zone will grant Shards of Hatred. As players collect more Shards of Hatred, they will be able to bring them to an Altar of Extraction where the Shards can be cleansed into Red Dust. Beware though, as players will be notified when an Altar of Extraction is being used and may head over to steal them.

If you die inside the Fields of Hatred, you will drop any Shards of Hatred you have collected, giving other players the opportunity to steal them for themselves. However, Red Dust will not be dropped when you die.

Described as “not a place for honor” in a developer update Q&A, the Fields of Hatred are not matchmade against groups, though there are different player “buckets” based on character levels. Therefore, while you can run into both solo players and groups in the Fields of Hatred, players will all be of a similar level.
