glad to hear i was able to help you that much. I want to make sure everybody has a great time and knows everything that the other players know, and let the BEST player come out on top :P
well you could watch it again if you need to...I wouldn't mind the watch time 👀👀👀 But in all seriousness I hope it helped haha. Been thinking of making a follow-up on how to be better at the game with strats and best practices
dude . dont know how much i thnaked you. I just downloaded this game for my pc remotely while im here in work. Im so excited to play this.. Im watching while doing doctors appointment. 30minss viddd
Great video. I love the part when you "shout" like you're really on the plane. That's pretty cool. How did you do that? I mean technically speaking in the editing...I am guessing you increased the background volume to give that illusion?
so i actually didnt need to do any post editing for that haha. the plane is always that loud and i just projected my voice like that to match how loud it was without trying to yell necessarily
I saw a lot of 3 star reviews of this game ON the Quest 3, and I saw a few of them stating it would be cool if there were bots in the game, but you're saying there is?? Man, some people really don't pay attention to games anymore 😂
its honestly not a lot when you start getting into it. Its no more to remember than other battle royales that have a lot of equipment. Just learning what the equipment does and how to utilize it
from my experience between the 2, the PCVR version has more render distance and provides more asset rendering (like that you might see flowers in the hills on the PCVR version but not on quest). However, if you buy the Quest version, when the PCVR Meta version goes live on the store you'll get that version for free (according to the devs). But you'll notice very little differences in things like server connection and loading times. Hope this helps!
thanks so much haha. Im also planning on making an "advanced tactics" guide that can help more people recognize what they should do in certain situations
This was so helpful! The game's tutorial is pathetically useless, and I hate to be a burden on a squad of randos while I fumble around to figure things out.
I'm glad I have something that helps a lot of people :). I hope I managed to make something quality enough that can help you and your squadmates be #1!
yea i LOVE using the laser for short range combat. Vector is really good, i use it more despite it being less in damage than the CZ Evo. I wanted to show off the laser but it was bugged at the time i made this video haha
ensure that your steam vr settings in the auido section are set to "Oculus virtual" on mic and sound. then open the in-game menu when you're in a match, look to the top right, and ensure that your mic, team chat, and proximity chat are all on
Got a question for you. Do you use the quest 2? If so, do you have a lot of frequent issues with controller drift? I spent $200+ on new controllers because the drift was just that bad, got them in October, and they are already having issues. Is it just me, or are you having issues as well?
You're not alone in this issue it is a problem every Quest owner has to experience. It's because the sticks are cheap garbage. It's not just exclusive to Meta either, almost all modern controllers experience stick drive at the moment. It's a design flaw within the sensors inside the sticks. Dust can get in there very easily which will cause drift. Also the sensors are cheaply made and will often start drifting eventually, as they use a mental rubbing against metal system. My recommendation is to use WD40 contact cleaner (specifically contact cleaner) or isopropyl alcohol to get the dust out, so every month or every time you experience drift give the sticks a small dose. Make sure to not add too much cleaner, I learned that the hard way. It's not a permanent solution, however your sticks may last longer using this method.
I was sceptical how would it run on Q3 but wow, last night i tried it out and it runs and looks neat on Q3. In terms of looks, Ghost of Tabor is a few generations below this one.
yea overall i love how this looks and i think its amazing how they can have 60 people on here, a 4KM2 island, and have it run better than the current tabor on quest
Ok thanks for the tutorial 😀. I just bought the game today. Only i don't understand the menu😁 you can grab guns and money in the menu(it looks like unlimited money) can you use the same money and guns in game? Or do you have to get the money and guns in game?
I'm new since today. And i got a few questions. All the weapons on the oil rig are only to test? I start withou weapons? Only the customized dots and scopes i can find in the real game?
This is a stupid question but could your teammates see the big map screen you pull up? And are they able to ping on it? I think it would just be cool if you could look at the map together and ping on the same map. And also the same with backpacks. Could your teammate see whats in your backpack when you have it out? Also another stupid question ik but im trying to see how interactive the game is. Could you heal your teammate without dropping it to them?
Sorry but no to all of those. You can't mark on somebody else's map but they can see your pings. They cant grab stuff out of your backpack either because i think it would mess with the inventory system too much. I think you'll be able to inject your teammates with health items down the line. As far as interactibility with your teammates, you can interact with physical objects that are in view like if they hold the handle on their gun you can grab their firearm or their mag, stuff like that.
So all VR headsets except for 1 on the market (the big screen beyond) all come with controllers. You should look into aspects like if you enjoy FOV more, resolution, tracking, mixed reality, comfort, or another aspect the best in VR. These resources might help you: My site that describes VR headsets: vrcentral.co/vr-headsets/ Quest 3 review: ruclips.net/video/kLHfXA8iUl8/видео.html DPVR review: ruclips.net/video/14lX2f_cB3o/видео.html Pimax Crystal Review: ruclips.net/video/_5SEmAJewfY/видео.html VR Headset Comparison: ruclips.net/video/sdh2by2Y1wU/видео.html
you press either solo or trio after opening the main menu and it will throw you into match making (should be your A or B button depending on headset and controllers)
from what i was recently told, they both give stability, but the horizontal is better at negating vertical recoil which is what most guns have a lot of, of course.
Hello for some reason my mic is on but my squad can’t hear me and I can’t hear them can you please tell me how to fix this also in the menu there is this squiggly line between the mic logo and the WiFi logo it’s off do you know how to turn it on
@@VRCentral I don’t quite understand where but even before I join the game in the starter island there is a bar between the WiFi symbol and the mic symbol that’s off and idk how to turn it on
did you use it in the "apply promo" section? like you go to check out with the game and use that "apply promo" button right before you buy it? its "VRCENTRAL-377B0A". Make sure the 2nd to last character is a "zero" and not a capital "O"
@@VRCentral hi thanks so very much, I discovered that I had to get an vest upgrade, and then the armor plate space was available. And the the blue highlight was showing the action. Which I somehow missed before. Thanks very much for your vids and tips. Hope to play it again soon!! Have a kick arse week!!🤘😎
They need an apply all button, it’d be easier to go and change the sights or attachments to what you want specific than having to go to every single gun it’s not as quick as on conttroller
Fantastic guide my man, by far the best starter guide I've watched, hands down.
Happy that I could help you! :)
This helped me so much omg, didnt know how to look for those chests that was a game changer. learning better areas to drop was super helpful as well

good looking out with this guide man. really looking forward to this. loved contractors 🔥
Hope it helped you out and that you enjoy the game when you get around to playing it :)

Hope to see you in the comments again and hope your appointment went well!
Love the way your talking with your hands lol
i get very animated XD
Thank you for the awesome guide! This is exactly what i was looking for. Subed and liked
Hope it helps you out! there were some changes in Season 1 on the game but i hope it gave you a base understanding!
I’ve been playing since alpha and I love this game
same here. its so mf good
@@VRCentral it’s like if crack only killed your eyes
One of the best guides I’ve seen for Showdown. I’m scared to leave Bootcamp since I get killed so quickly..
Thank you im glad it helped! i was thinking of doing a followup with tactics and stuff
holy moly.. this is intense ! so much to do; coming from onward this is a huge change
yea its got a ton more added features haha. i mained onward back in the day so i get the feeling
Do you recommend onward?
This video is amazing.
thank you :)
This guide was huge, so much to remember, this game will take a lot of practice.
i just hope it helped :)
this video actually convinced me to get the game
well i just hope you enjoy yourself in there and that the other showdown videos Im putting up can entertain you!
The graphics looks so better then my meta version
Pc
my recorded footage is through steam vr
Thanks! This help so much!❤❤ btw you got another subscriber
that means a lot I hope to see you back here again :)
I CANT LIE BRUH I WISH THEY MADE THIS FOR PC WITH NO VR USE NEEDED GAME LOOKS REALLY DOPE
like a flatscreen version???
Hey VR Central if you see this, I just wanted to say since you saw my other comment on your short, I just wanna say this tutorial help me a ton
glad I was able to help you and hope to see you in the comments section again! :)
Definitely going to get this game when I can

It might be that, it could also be when they say "bots", they want like a singleplayer mode where its only bots against them. Not sure though
My God there's a lot of stuff to remember
its honestly not a lot when you start getting into it. Its no more to remember than other battle royales that have a lot of equipment. Just learning what the equipment does and how to utilize it
12:35 great tip!
thanks haha
What a great content! thx!
Appreciate that a lot :)
Great vid..I'm new to VR and on the fence between contractors and pavlov
between the two, i assume youre talking about normal contractors vs pavlov, i would pick contractors every time
Do recommend the pcvr or q3 version? Or is there much of a difference?
from my experience between the 2, the PCVR version has more render distance and provides more asset rendering (like that you might see flowers in the hills on the PCVR version but not on quest).

For short range use semi auto shotgun or vector smg with laser attached. Best short range weapons in the game.
yea i LOVE using the laser for short range combat. Vector is really good, i use it more despite it being less in damage than the CZ Evo. I wanted to show off the laser but it was bugged at the time i made this video haha
Great tutorial
Thank you :)
Thanks for the video. I only have one question. hoow do i get chat to work. i use a quest 2 on steam. Not sure if no one is talking or what.
ensure that your steam vr settings in the auido section are set to "Oculus virtual" on mic and sound. then open the in-game menu when you're in a match, look to the top right, and ensure that your mic, team chat, and proximity chat are all on

Put a little bit of wd40 into the joystick, then spin the joystick for 15 minutes and it should fix
@Aki81610 did that with the old controllers but the effect eventually wore off and stopped working completely
You're not alone in this issue it is a problem every Quest owner has to experience. It's because the sticks are cheap garbage. It's not just exclusive to Meta either, almost all modern controllers experience stick drive at the moment.
It's a design flaw within the sensors inside the sticks. Dust can get in there very easily which will cause drift. Also the sensors are cheaply made and will often start drifting eventually, as they use a mental rubbing against metal system.

you can only have unlimited money in the tutorial area. in the matches you have to loot like a battle royale
Great video! Can you play against only NPCs withought internet??
thank you :). sorry it only has player/NPC lobbies but not bot-only lobbies

yes its a battle royale
yes because its a battle royale. but the gun customizations change the minute you pick them up
Cool
thanks :)
How were you just one guy on the whole map?
the secret is in the frosting...but I'll never tell...
He might turn off his wifi to film jt
This is what I'm looking for
When you 1st start the game, you’re alone on the map. It’s also cuts

How do I start a round? I'm stuck in the lobby where i can try out games
you press either solo or trio after opening the main menu and it will throw you into match making (should be your A or B button depending on headset and controllers)
Hi there!
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal handles?
from what i was recently told, they both give stability, but the horizontal is better at negating vertical recoil which is what most guns have a lot of, of course.
How do you reload? I never figured out how to use ammo.
did you not play the tutorial?
Is there a way to turn down offhand influence when using a weapon with two hands?
i think thats directly in coorelation with the weapon smoothing? thats a setting
