Pavlov VR News

Upcoming update is now on open beta, try it out!

Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

I invite everyone to try the new beta for the upcoming update, this one is a major update and i'm looking to get everyone feedback and fix any issue that arises.

Major mechanic change for the Vive

Now you grab and drop stuff with the grip, including letting go of your main hand holding a bolt action rifle for example..

This makes grenades and knives to have an extra step in order to throw them, Grip then Trigger. Which i believe is just a thing to get used to.

This frees the menu button to be custom mapped to predefined actions, allowing snap turn or ambidextrous reloading, just to name a few.

This change is gonna be very controversial, however the pros outweights the cons.

New Inventory and quick slots

The inventory has been reworked completely for ease of use, including 3 quick slots that can be used (and they work better like that) blindly, wild-west duel style. Two at the side hips for handguns and knives (akimbo ready) and one in the back of your head for large guns and bomb.

Stuff in the quick slots can be swapped easily

Native Oculus Support

After dealing with countless issues and bugs with steamvr and oculus, i decided to implement Oculus natively. This improves performance, stability and tracking. You still need steam open to run the game,


Be aware that only North America servers have been deployed for the beta

Update 16 - New Weapons, Revamped Main Room & Competitive Mode



Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

Revamped Main Room

The new main room aside from the eye candy and good first impression that was lacking for a long time, there's a new tutorial tool tip system to help new player get the hang of the game quicker.

New Weapons

We finally have a wide selection of heavy weaponry featuring a new light machine gun and a semi-auto shotgun.





There's also a new cheap hunting rifle, for them saving rounds ːsteamhappyː




Competitive Mode

Currently this mode features a brand new spectator room and team only voice chat. In future updates you'll start seeing things like auto-pause on disconnect, ready up mechanic, etc, etc. This is just the beginning of eSports with Pavlov.

Official Oculus Support

The Oculus implementation is at a point where im comfortable to mark it as compatible in the store page however there's still a few issues that need to get improved and fixed overtime.

Battle Royale

Yep, Pavlov is gonna have it's own battle royale mode next year. This is the reason there hasn't been an update for a while as all the attention has been put into that. If you're interested keep an eye on discord for scheduled play tests.

Experimental Virtual Stock

You can enable it in the settings, hopefully this will lower the gap between players with physical stocks and everyone else. Give it a try, any feedback is appreciated.


Thanks everyone for the patience and support ːsteamhappyː
