What are Diablo 4's Fields of Hatred?

Fields of Hatred are Sanctuary unique regions where players may participate in PvP battle to win uncommon treasures such as Seed of Hatred, Red Dust, and others. 

Do you want to update your build? In Diablo 4, here's how to respec.

There are no prerequisites for entering the Fields of Hatred in Diablo 4, and all you have to do is enter the region and begin looting its valuable materials. Depending on whether PvP is allowed, you may join in PvP combat or ignore it entirely and merely harvest the treasure. 

With the addition of Fields of Hatred, Diablo 4 combines a seamless PvP system into the game's open environment, as opposed to the previous PvP system. The finest part is that the game explains why the PvP occurs in the first place. 

According to game mythology, the Fields of Hatred are sections of the Sanctuary poisoned by Mephisto's hatred. As a consequence, everyone who enters there is engulfed by darkness and begins assaulting mortals. 

In summary, Fields of Hatred are Diablo 4 PvP zones where you may interact with other players to get unique treasure.

That being said, if you visit the Fields of Hatred in Diablo 4 with PvP enabled, you may either kill a player labeled as the Vessel of Hatred within a certain amount of time to get extra benefits, or you can kill enough people to become the Vessel of Hatred yourself.
