The short version
Fragmentary Order is PvPvE: players fight each other and AI threats in the same space. On November 5, 2026, Nikita Buyanov confirmed on social media that PvE will be integrated into the game rather than a separate game profile. In June, Insider Gaming reported a PvE-focused mode planned for launch.
"Integrated" vs a separate profile
The wording is a direct contrast with Escape from Tarkov, where the PvE mode runs on its own profile with its own progress. "Integrated" points to one game and one profile where PvE content lives alongside PvP, rather than a separate save.
What we can say for sure:
| Question | Answer | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Is there PvE? | Yes | Confirmed Nov 5 |
| Separate PvE profile? | No, integrated | Confirmed Nov 5 |
| PvE-focused mode at launch? | Planned | Reported Jun 10 |
| Players per map | 40–50, with PvE elements | Reported Jun 10 |
| Squad size | Up to 4 | Confirmed Nov 4 |
| Solo PvE / offline play | Not announced | Unknown |
| How progression is shared | Not announced | Unknown |
What PvE might look like
The official material gives a few hints without saying more than it does:
- Corporate warfare. In 2251, war is outsourced. Players are contractors running RepEnts for pay, so AI opponents fit as other companies' assets and defenses.
- Smart systems. The feature list for the November 4 reveal names "smart systems" and drones alongside squads.
- Rogue RepEnts. Fan wikis describe rogue autonomous RepEnt outbreaks as part of the setting.
Why this matters for Tarkov players
For a lot of Escape from Tarkov players, PvE was the deciding feature, and the separate-profile setup was a sore point. Integrated PvE is the clearest signal yet that Rant Gaming is not just copying Tarkov's structure. For the full comparison, read Fragmentary Order vs Escape from Tarkov.
