Does Kelvin respawn if I kill him in Sons of the Forest?
If you play single-player and kill Kelvin or Virginia, you are responsible for their death. They will not drop any loot, so you don't really have any reason to mess with them.
You will need to be very cautious of them when working and exploring, paying attention so that you don't accidentally hit them. Don't worry about cannibals or the mutants getting to them, though, as they will flee and come back after some time.
