Kinda impulse buy, but few weeks ago i bought oculus quest 2 and it was quite a supprise - didnt expect that this technology will be in this price range so advance in sence of comfort and even technology.
Naturally FPS shooters was my first interest and with first games came another supprise - its actually quite usable for training.
Of course, you will not train your grip, recoil managment or certain situations, but you can work on your aiming, transitions, decision making and mostly - dealing with stressfull situations (depend on level of immersion in game) and muscles - fact that you really not holding rifle, doesnt mean its easy to have hands in position like you do. Specially if you add some wrist weights
Another thing is that you can train with weapons system what you dont have acces to - AK/AR, machine guns, Sniper rifle, Battle rifles etc...
Its not ideal and real life training will be almost always better, but in quarantine, ammo shortage or just as part of dayily "fun drill" it have some benefits.
My personal issue with that is space and too often i end in my guardien (virtuall walls what you set up to not collide with real ones) and apps/games
So do you have some your own tips for training in virtual reality?
So far i did try Pavlov VR (which si free) - thats basicly counter strike in VR, but offers quite decent shooting range, killhouse (i guess thats more usefull if you have enough space), guns and its details. Game itself is playable maybe more than paid contractors and you can just pick map and let bots attack you so you can work on your transition, reloading and motion sicknes
Then i got contractors and its a quite dissapoinment - it have more options for shooting ranges, including sniper ones, with popping targets but graphics looks worst (keep in mind that VR games have more version depending on platform), sounds are off and its harder to train. Its more like COD in PC.
Next is Onward, which is more "realistic" focused, i guess something like Sandstorm on PC. I dont have that one, since i already burned on contractors and dont want just to throw money
All mentioned games have multiplayer and coop mode.
But there is much more apps and games focused on guns and i would like hear some recommendation if you have some.
