Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

Finally after couple of years of missed deadlines, we were able to bring zombies to Pavlov, you can play offline or coop online. We'll keep updating this mode on a regular basis.

Try your skills to climb the global leader-board or just a quick warm up run, it's up to you.


Now by default you start the game into the menu mode (forced), this is to make it easier for newbies to grasp the menu system, you can however set either the killhouse or shooting range as start map in the settings so it works like before.

Siberia (Jail)


Container Yard


We will bring new maps on a regular basis from now on and until release date in Feb 27 2021 this is just the beginning.

As mentioned two months ago, the game has moved into a more competitive price to allow us to keep expanding the team and bringing more stuff to Pavlov.

Thank you everyone for the support ːsteamhappyː

Hello ːsteamhappyː

Second half of the update is here!

Per faction characters, with eye and mouth animations, high resolution textures, finger tracking and optimized for VR.



With the new characters there a full gore system with hit blood stains to full dismembering. This can be disabled in the settings under general



Snap turn is enabled and binded by default on Vive, this caused many issues and confusion. If you don't want snap turn disable in the settings.

I've added a more comfortable input scheme that relies on the grip force to grab items, this makes avoiding unintentional grabs while keeping the curl for releases.

if you can't grab any weapon please either:

• Reset to the default binding
  
• Bind GripForceLeft/Right
  
• Disable Use Grip Force under Input settings

TLD; The game is not longer a solo-dev project, we're a dozen developers working on this full time. This will happen on the next update, the biggest to date on November 1st. In the mean time grab it for cheap if you haven't already ːsteamhappyː

Hello guys ːsteamhappyː

We've been busy implementing SteamVR Input to allow full support for Index Controllers and Windows Mixed Reality, basically finger tracking and input mapping.

This update might be quite disrupting to left handed players as we've removed all related settings - with the exception of the dominant hand checkbox for weapon spawning purposes.

However, i'm confident that allowing full input remapping is the best choice in the long term including remapping for left handed players.

If you happen to have your Index already, WMR or just interesting in remapping your controllers, please try the beta and let us know what you think in steam discussions or discord

You might notice there's two new pair of hands, this is because there's something else cooking up in the oven so expect the other half of the update later in July.

There's no remapping if you run the game with native oculus however, Oculus support is now also available in SteamVR with full remapping features.

Thank you everyone for the support ːsteamhappyː

ːsteamhappyː Hello guys!

This update has taken more time than expected, from upgrading the engine to implementing Steam Audio with a complete sound revamp, it's been a challenge to get to this point.

Aside from that we got features that have been getting requested for a while like better workshop support for custom game modes, attachments, shooting range, etc, etc.

Sadly this update is not compatible with AMD FX processor line, however we added sound quality settings to mitigate the effect this might cause.

Note that if you stream or have a lot of background processes, the sound settings might come handy as well.



A huge effort has been put into replacing old weapons with high quality vr-ready models, i hope you guys enjoy them as we did adding them.



A byproduct of this update is that all maps not packaged with Unreal 4.21 are not compatible now. However there's been an active effort to get new maps and game modes for this update by the community. ːsteamhappyː

Community servers are exactly that, servers hosted and managed by the community allowing more than 10 players per server. This will be available soon as a small update, in the meantime try the battle royale testing server.

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.

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

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.
