Hello Guys ːsteamhappyː is been a while since last update but we've been busy.

In the last 4 months, Pavlov VR development team has grown from 1 person (and part-time 3d Artist) to have 5 people working full time on the game.

This has been extremely hard for me, as before Pavlov i was just a guy freelancing to get by. And it's been a learning experience, trial and error for most of it.

And i'm really excited to show what we've been working on and i'm proud of the team for pulling this up. We hope to have some time to have a more formal introduction for the new team members, but we want to focus on the game first and most.

- New Audio & SteamAudio Implementation
- All guns revamped with new VR-Ready models
- Attachments
- Community Servers (with no player limit)
- Shooting Range
- New workshop API for custom game modes
- Latest Unreal Engine with performance improvements and fixes

Shortly after the update goes live you'll able to host your own server that runs 24/7 with map rotations. This server can be configured for more than 10 people. In fact we have a testing 50 player server running the Battle Royale mod made by the community (thanks to BeanSeller (BOT Dean), Maverick and Brainslug).

In the game properties, go to betas and choose "beta" no code needed. There might not be enough servers.


We are on the final stage of testing and adding the last bits of content.

Join the forums or discord http://discord.gg/pavlov-vr if you find issues or you wanna give feedback, it's really appreciated.

Thank you everyone for the support for the last 2 years. A new chapter for Pavlov and myself is now begun and i'm glad to have you all along the ride. ːsteamhappyː

Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

Long overdue QOL update. Make sure to check all the new settings that were introduced to customize this additions, for example do you want the killfeed always visible in your arm?



New recoil expands upon the artificial spray mechanic. This artificial spread have been removed in favor of visually accurate spraying, burst is now your best friend.

New damage model closes the gap between hand guns, smgs and rifles and should bring a more balanced experience to the game.

Aside from the new spectator system, there's a new non-vr replay viewer which is aimed to be helpful for content creators and the competitive community. More improvements on this will come in the future, in the meantime let me know what you think about this new feature in Pavlov.



How do you launch it?

Create a Pavlov shortcut in your desktop and add -tv 1 -vrruntime none

More details should come shortly in the wiki

Hello guys!

Adding more interesting variety to the game, a fully auto drum shotgun, a revolver and a bullpup rifle with x4 sight (this is a preview of what attachments can feel in the game. Attachment update will arrive later this year)





New game mode, you get assigned a new weapon on every kill, the first one to go through all weapons wins. Difficulty increases as you progress.

There's also deathmatch as a logical addition derived from gun game development.

Have you ever wanted to enforce either, rifles, pistols, knives or grenades only ? Now you can do it in deathmatch/team-deathmatch with the brand new weapon filters.

Match length extension has also been added

Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

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.



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



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.

Thank you for all the support ːsteamhappyː

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.

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

Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

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.

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




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.

Join the community league! (more info on discord http://discord.pavlov-vr.com)

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.

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.

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
