Check out all the badges your hero or villain can earn through participating in PvP combat. Our guide includes information on all the badges that can be earned in Warburg, Siren's Call, Bloody Bay, and Recluse's Victory.

The City of Heroes PvP badges are awarded to those heroes or villains who devote their time to thwarting the designs of members of the opposite faction. PvP combat takes place in the special zones designed specially for hero versus villain combat: Bloody Bay, Recluse's Victory, Siren's Call, and Warburg. There are hero-and villain-specific badges, as well as several that can be earned by either faction.
