PvE

Battling computer opponents

PvE, short for player versus environment, describes a mode in video games where players compete against computer-controlled opponents rather than other human players.

The term originated in multiplayer online games to distinguish cooperative or solo content from player-versus-player (PvP) combat.

In PvE, challenges include fighting AI enemies, completing quests, and navigating game mechanics.

I prefer PvE raids because there's less pressure than competing against real people.
