Pavlov PSVR2 | Essential Tips & Tricks

Some really valuable information here for beginners

[@dimitarkonov6161]

First truly helpful video for psvr2 owners! PCvr got pavlov for some time, but we are still noobs and this was really appreciated! Thanks mate, see you on the battlefield...

[@doneforever]

Still learning, have another video in mind to do and oddly one of the advanced tips would be to *turn virtual stock back off* as stable as the gun is once you've gotten skilled enough the extra maneuverability and snappiness makes a big difference. So much nuance and complexity to this game, I love it. Really glad the video helped, lemme know your psn and ill look out for you ✌️

[@TheDoemster]

Hey Draftbomb nice to see you on YT. Do you Play with a gunstock?

[@doneforever]

@@TheDoemster never tried one and reluctant to start, they look so restrictive to me. Tbh I don't even use virtual stock anymore either as it makes blindfire much harder.

[@harmleyten4]

@@doneforever i do own a stock, and at first it's cumbersum, but after a few hours you can definitly see the benefits. And after 900 hours, almost no one can stop you

[@doneforever]

@@harmleyten4 would like to think after 900 hours I'd be in the same camp. Though tbh I'm too drawn to the 50cal, it's viable but never gonna be *that* viable. Managing 3k/d with it on good days. Can only imagine I'll smash the crap outta one of the controllers if I used a stock... I'm very... 'enthusiatic' with my speed reloading lol. Wouldn't mind trying a stock tbf, and until then I guess I can't really have too much of an opinion as I haven't used one.

[@amentalman818]

Really useful and helpful video mate, appreciate it for when i can finally join the Pavlov craze💥🔫

[@doneforever]

Looking forward to watching you make lobbies cry 😂

[@no_1_knoz]

2:20-2:35: the best info and hardest muscle memory to focus on, but so true!

[@doneforever]

💯 I found this tip buried in a reddit thread when scouring for any extra tips. Absolutely a game changer. Also recently discovered a couple nuances to OITC: getting a kill with your knife without using the gun gives you an 'extra mag'. Running the knife first also really catches people off guard as they just run at you if you're not holding the gun 😄

[@ichbin2pac]

I online comment once a year or so. But your video was very helpful. You got me some good skills with that. Thanks 🙏

[@doneforever]

Really glad you found it useful ❤

[@luishormigo7797]

Awesome video!! Very nice job! Thank you!

[@doneforever]

You're most welcome and thanks for watching 😊

[@grahamkelly8662]

Gonna pick this up on sale. Thanks for the tips. It seems I have a lot to learn

[@therealjoshtheo]

Thank you for this video it helped a lot as I am new to this game and to psvr! Still working out the motion sickness but slowly getting better and better

[@doneforever]

The motion sickness will improve over time as you 'find your legs'. Some games are much worse than others for it, but it definitely does improve with repeat plays. There's some great VR2 games to check out if you haven't already, Pistol Whip may be a bit overwhelming at first but the motion is purely forwards and the gunplay is phenomenal fun. GT7 is also a phenomenal experience and a lot of folk say they play it better in vr. Not sure if being seated will help with the sickness but Pavlov being standing only and so active you're probably jumping in the deep end there. Best of luck on the field ✌️

[@Komisholo]

Great video!

[@doneforever]

Thank you 😊

[@HeyPhilMetal]

Thank you for those tips!

[@ynot68tony12]

Excellent video looks cool

[@doneforever]

Thank you 😊

[@Freddyfastfinger]

Just got this game the other day really struggled with it so did the shooting range for an hour as the guns are really realistic to load up.

[@liam101112]

Great video

[@doneforever]

😊

[@TheStenius]

Missed the most important: learn to aim with both eyes open.

[@doneforever]

Oh this for sure. Its actually part of my next planned video which one section focuses on sniping. Only really started to do this myself lately, and found it definitely makes target acquisition easier whilst keeping peripheral awareness. I'd welcome any other tips I've missed to pass on...

[@lutsurugi]

awesome video, even after having played a couple of rounds! :)

[@JESSEPINKMAN74]

Great video... really hyped on this game just waiting for my stock to arrive before I jump in

[@doneforever]

No harm in getting stuck in before it turns up 😉 tbh I never use one, though I'm sure they're awesome to use.

[@JESSEPINKMAN74]

@@doneforever yeah I'm really tempted. Bought GT7 yesterday though so I'm pretty caught up in that atm 🥸

[@doneforever]

@@JESSEPINKMAN74 an awesome game as well. I need to get back on GT tbf. One more that comes strongly recommended: RE8. It's a phenomenal experience.

[@rashed8337]

Thank you so much , help a lot ❤

[@doneforever]

Ah, I'm super happy to hear the video helps 😊 good luck out there. It's an awesome game.

[@LEESPSVR2ADVENTURES]

Nice video

[@doneforever]

Thank you 😁 sharefactory is pretty good. Haven't tried with camera though, you may have to use PIP for that like I did here with the sniper reload segment.

[@drahunter213]

I had no idea some attachments reduce the cash earned lol

[@dragoonseye76]

I got a trick. Add the standardized sitting mode. For those who can’t stand. That is a no brainer

[@mdbeisly]

NOW I KNKW HOW TO PLAY 😊

[@DDGHB106]

Just got my psvr2 delivered today and I downloaded it today. I'm really enjoying it, I'm just tryna get used to the L1 and R1 and i keep dropping my gun lol

[@doneforever]

Takes practise to get used to the handling. Toggle grip may be a good option to try out in the firing range.

[@TomiTom1234]

Nice video. A Question: Is there any vibration happens with the headset when shooting with big guns? Like it happens in RE8 in VR?

[@doneforever]

Gonna find out now. TBH I've had the headset vibration disabled since launch as it really affects PW accuracy.

[@doneforever]

Just did a few rounds. Can confirm there is head rumble, I think only when shot in the face. Its not quite as powerful as in PW but definitely noticeable.

[@TomiTom1234]

@@doneforever Thanks, but the effect blew my mind when I tried RE8 and shot with sniper or shotgun, it gave me that realism feeling. But what does PW mean exactly?

[@doneforever]

Sorry PW - Pistol Whip. Its a fantastic game BTW you should see a recent vid on my page if you scroll down. You may actually enjoy the haptics in that game - essentially it's a John Wick simulator where you shoot superhot type enemies to high energy music. The impact of getting shot in the face (the only place you can get shot) is really punchy and with the crisp audio it's an assault on the senses, you can even feel the bullets passing by as they nearly miss.

[@doneforever]

I'd probably venture as far as to say Pavlov has so far been the most 'realistic' - In terms of physics, handling and real world setting. I mean the gore is ridiculous and there's plenty of potential for daft/unreal moments but if you appreciate immersion I'd recommend Pavlov.

[@shots-o-shorts7939]

Hey on my PSVR2 the weapon wheel isnt working (the selection only goes up and down, nowhere else). Is this a settings problem or controler problem? Also amazing vdeo ❤

[@doneforever]

Are you using the analogue stick to select? That's the correct input... Testing the analogue input in another game or even the PS menu should help narrow down if a controller issue.

[@SillyGoofeGuy]

I want steam or pave so bad. Just for the graphics

[@shinebright78]

What fly wheel weight did you use?

[@nickd86]

How do you control the predator properly in hide mode? Do you aim were you want to jump before lunging? And when you attack do you lunge with arms out or swipe at players with the blades?

[@doneforever]

That's a good question, honestly my gaming time has been sapped up with the base modes. TTT is just wtf 🤷‍♂️ (someone needs to make a video) and prop hunt I still haven't figured the controls yet. Hide all I know is you can click trigger near ear and shout or make weird noises to freak players out and there's a lunge button on both controllers which makes jumping and orienting yourself a bit easier. Gonna have to hop on later and figure this out properly. Will let you know what I find.

[@nickd86]

@Done Forever nice let me know what you find out and if I figure it out after work I'll give you a heads up

[@Crook3d_GT]

Can't wait for playstation to release a stock!

[@doneforever]

Never used a stock, but with how accurate you gotta be in this game I sure am tempted to try one.

[@Anakinskywankr]

Amazing vid! I just got the game on PSVR2 but i cant get my mic to work. 😢

[@doneforever]

Is it muted? You can set the pass through button to work as a mic on/off in vr2 settings. Also Pavlov has proximity based chat meaning to address the lobby you have to pull the trigger near your head (empty hand ofc). Otherwise it could be faulty, best bet would be to contact Sony if you can't find a solution online. Hope it works out.

[@Anakinskywankr]

@@doneforever i fixed it, apparently it doesnt show mic activity in the main menu for some reason. But i was like fck it i wanna play, and when some guys started talking i asked if the could heard me and apparently they could. 😂

[@legocrack1]

Most of these tips also works for the meta quest version (pavlov shack)

[@welfiblablabla]

How do you holster a weapon...?

[@nick12345567890]

How do you stow your primary weapon?

[@doneforever]

Ah good question. You stow primaries over your shoulder. Just press the grab button with your hand above and behind your shoulder to grab/stow/swap with other primary. Also uzis and sawn offs can be stowed both on hip or on back. You could technically take 6 of them with you 😂

[@Jorgems024]

How tall do i need to be

[@Earth_EditZ]

When i use virtual stock my other hand has to be way off for it to aim where i want it to, i don't recommend virtual stock

[@doneforever]

Tbh since making this video I had intended to make another one, I would after a certain period of play definitely recommend disabling virtual stock, they definitely handle more realistically and you can blindfire which is seriously useful. I think of the setting more as training wheels to be taken off once more confident.

[@Earth_EditZ]

@@doneforever if virtual stock is training wheels then I got the bike with none

[@needsummelk_1955]

I’m new to playing this and new to VR does anyone have any way of knowing how to actually do actions and reload with the left-hand? For some reason I can only do reloads with my right hand only

[@needsummelk_1955]

I’m only able to do things with my right hand and actions as well and reload of course

[@doneforever]

@amentalman818 is a lefty, he will have the answers you're after ✌️

[@manuelkimpel3788]

Is it playable for a one-lefthanded person? I don't wanna buy a game that turns out to be unplayable for me. Thank you! :)

[@doneforever]

As in just playable with the left hand only? I have a lefthanded friend who plays amazingly but using both hands.

[@manuelkimpel3788]

@@doneforever well I can't move my right hand very fast so to be safe I wanna know it is possible to play it with just one hand. So far I have had a really bad experience reloading a weapon. That was the most reason that a shooter game became unplayable for me. I wish there is an option to replace it with a single key like a regular Non-VR game.

[@doneforever]

@@manuelkimpel3788 I feel this is likely not going to be the right game choice for the most part. It's very reload centric and there's zero option for automatic reloading. In its defence, the handling is consistent once you have muscle memory with grab areas and the mechanics, but I'd say most modes would present a big hurdle if you wanted to reload quickly. GUN game is quite handy as mostly you'll get the kill before needing to reload but that changes near the 16 kill mark with snipers. For what it's worth ALVO may be a much more viable option, it's faster paced but there's a heap of accessibility features in the game and thankfully automatic reloads too. I'd feel much more comfortable giving ALVO the recommendation than Pavlov but I don't see why Pavlov wouldn't be playable, just probably quite frustrating. Hope this helps.

[@MrBleckpashtet]

I wanna to play on a custom / users maps, but i can not do this on a ps5. Maybe anybody knows?

[@doneforever]

As far as I know Sony makes it very difficult for developers to include mod support in their games on PlayStation. I have heard that some official new maps are currently being finished along with a new mode for an upcoming patch soon.

[@Bangoutzay]

Good tips🫡

[@user-uw8vg5gf1r]

Hello. Help me please - how to open a buy menu? I've already pressed all possible button combinations. I use Meta Quest 3. Thanks in advance

[@doneforever]

What happens when you click/press the analogue sticks?

[@user-uw8vg5gf1r]

@@doneforever left - personal movement. Right - turning left or right

[@doneforever]

@@user-uw8vg5gf1r I mean when you physically 'click' the sticks in? On PSVR2 the analogue sticks can be pressed in like a normal button as well as pushed in a direction. That's how the shop wheel is brought up on VR2. Does Quest 3 not have clickable analogues?

[@user-uw8vg5gf1r]

@@doneforever Yes, it does. For example, in No Man's sky и it switch between current tasks

[@doneforever]

@@user-uw8vg5gf1r can't say with certainty why, you may find the answer in the official discord, it could be relevant if there's a bug they've not caught discord.com/invite/pavlov-vr Over 70k members I'm sure someone will have the info

[@therealjoshtheo]

What is strange is I do much better on here than I do on call of duty

[@Ivanraciel11]

Do you know why i acn only see hald of my body and I can’t run? Someone help me ❤

[@doneforever]

Yes, the devs only coded in the vest and hands as they're the only parts you interact with - some gear can be stored on your vest. To run simply aim your rifle to the ground and click R3. I'd highly recommend enabling the auto run feature so you don't have to keep clicking each time you stop running.

[@edwinking8432]

Try either standing or altering the floor height in the PSVR2 settings as the game might think you're crouched

[@familiarfaces_official]

is there no mods on PSVR2?

[@colbyhamilton6330]

I can't sprint tho

[@doneforever]

Yeah it's jarring at first. You need to aim gun down to sprint, holding gun forward will stop you from running. If you've played Alvo for example it can be uncomfortable to begin with and the lack of slide and prone also but it does click, just takes time.

[@a.thomas9734]

I honestly can't stand the virtual stock. Makes aiming feel unnatural for me.

[@BigChiken44]

It's not that fun with virtual stock

[@komamix]

I cant even get the hieght right. Super annoyed... nothing worka for me... bought this game on day one, and its like im crouching all the time, i cant run, by pressing L3, i cant do shit... what am i doing wrong????

[@doneforever]

The game never explicitly explains this is meant to be played standing. It is possible to play seated but requires setting player height in settings. There is no crouch button hence you're supposed to physically crouch when desired, if you're constantly crouching try standing in your playspace and reset guardian (hold options). You cannot run with your gun aiming in front of you, there is a setting that allows auto run so you don't need to keep clicking the run stick in, but you still have to aim the gun towards floor to enable running. It can be super jarring to get your head round initially but persevere it does "click" If you're still struggling with the settings feel free to add me (psn Daftbomb) and invite me when you're next on and we can play a PM and figure out what's causing you issues?
