Some Mechanical Tips and Tricks I've Learned to Aim Better Without a Gunstock: 1. When using a rifle, try to distance your hands as much as possible (e.g. if you're right handed, right hand close to your face, and left and as far as your arm can reach). One issue while shooting without a stock is the little shakes and jitters your hands have while holding near-weightless controllers. Due to a matter of angles, the further your hands are away from each other, the less these little jitters will actually translate into barrel movement, which can help with shot stability and more precision shots. 2. Aim with your front hand: as long as you keep your rear hand in a consistent spot relatively close to your face, when you need to aim, you can just point your front arm at the target. This allows for a "natural point of aim" aiming style, and if you practice a bit you can usually get to the point where you point your front arm at the target and the sights will be on it. 3. Trigger control and breath control do actually kind of matter. Not as much as with a real firearm ofc, as the trigger pull on an oculus controller is very very light, but you can still jerk the trigger. Same thing for breath control- not hyper important, but holding your breath, or waiting until you're breathing out to break a shot, can give just enough stability at long range to make a precision shot. 4. depending on your preferences, using the "virtual stock" option most games have can be useful to help stabilize shots. However, how these virtual stocks vary in quality from game to game. In onward, it basically snaps the rifle into your shoulder like a magnet, automatically lines up your sights, and greatly stabilizes any shot. This can be helpful, but also might feel annoying as it's a very overbearing and aggressive virtual stock. Pavlov's and Contractor's virtual stocks are practically useless. The game I think does it best is H3VR, as it makes it seem like you actually have a stock going into your shoulder without feeling "magnetic" like in Onward. Overall, it's worth trying out. Any other tips that come to mind were covered in the video. Just some things that have helped me to aim better in my VR journey. Maybe some will work for you, maybe some won't.

Thanks! Brand new to VR and you are right there’s not the same level of creators making these. I appreciate it

Great video as always ^^

This one will be a hit. Welldone buddy, congrats on 1000!

Reloading Without looking came to me pretty naturally, I'm thankful.

Excellent content. Your vids help keep my mind sharp for when I can finally return after training.

I'll say it,: I only finally bought Onward about a week ago. And yes, I've already gone into competitive lobbies. After that I have been spending a lot of time on the shooting range. Focused mainly on getting smooth at reloading and using utilities. I'm using a pro tube so there's been a steep learning curve but it's getting quicker every time. One thing that has me hesitating in games is not team killing. Many times I've had a enemy in my sights and I've hesitated, and it got me killed.

Dude thanks for making these videos man! They’re super high quality.

Nv had a 22 minute video pass by so quickly! Keep bangin on them questions for theta😎

This video was amazing. I was waiting for this type of content to come my way.

Brand new to VR i love long form informative videos i can just listen to while working out this video was good

great video, will definitely help many with your simple explanations

this will help me a lot with onward thanks

Another first in the vr community. Thank you theta. I'm sure you've heard my frustration with my aim. Perfect timing!!

BedsideSock approves, pleasure playing with you and thanks for the help 🤟🏽

I think people don’t realize that vr aim quite literally reflects off your real life gun skills. Your real life hand eye coordination, and your steadiness. One great thing I’ve learned for improving aim (other than having years worth of growing up shooting and playing sports) is target ranges, preferably the contractors range when you’re in the lobby and can activate the timed shooting

I always love your vids. They’re so cool and I’m thinking about joining a league team because of your vids.

I’ve got no friends to play this game with, so I’m really trying to learn to rely on myself. This video is super helpful

Hey! fucking love your videos! I have been trying to get into VR for a year now and finally purchased onward and the quest 2 which will be here early this week. Keep up the content im watching all of this!

Interesting video. Food for thought

You videos are like medicine

That stock looks super simple and extremely versatile (I mean this positively)

Gotta love it 💪

Love this

If you don’t have a stock and can’t afford one, get a certain weapon and press the controller on your chest and chin, it gets the scope close and also helps stable aim, especially with a bipod. When laying down, you use the ground to stabilize the controllers (Certain weapons like the SVD and M16A4 scopes are too close, only good with bipod).

Nice video! Incentive for me to get to the range more often, and also to record and review my POV--I'll bet there are a lot of cases where I feel like I wasn't fast enough, when in reality I shot first but slightly wide. :(

So helpful video! BTW Flicking is really hard to me seriously XD When I sprint and see in front of enemy, I failed my flicking so I'm dead usually

What I notice is a lot of more experience players go through a cycle where you always use rifles then eventually you start using lmg’s then after you dip your toes in you get addicted to being able to just shoot anything and then sometime after that you start to choose guns depending on the map then depending on the obj then depending on the situation like how they’ve been playing it’s really weird not really

Awesome.

Lol shit bro, im 33 years old, ive been playing videos games for about 28 years. Now this VR is on another level. I found rifle mount for the VR controllers for improved accuracy, even Etsy has some for around $50 with a sling. I liked and subbed, awesome videos, keep it 💯

Tip that I learned from resident evil 4 vr is to rest your aim hand on your offhand for stability

Im late to this but I appreciate your vlog

How do you only have 3k subs? This channel should be at millions

I've seen how Lmgs and snipers really require stock use. Rifles, shotguns and smgs don't really needs a stock I feel. I've become a rifleman only because of this with light shotgun use. I found I can snipe using a 2x scope pretty decently but in the end using a rifle is best. I've also got to see how underrated shotguns are. Primarily shotguns allow fast ttk and at times allows you drop more then one target in a single shot. Then allows you to hit moving targets more easily. Lastly more gear utilities like flashlights and more grenade, C4, stunning, smoke etc..

Vr community needed this

bless you

One thing I always try to do is to keep my arm facing the general direction of the enemy while reloading so I can reaquire the enemy. Also, do you think it would be a good idea to practice on gun club vr for onward. Some targets do move but a mostly stationary.

Bless

I use some weapons tilted slightly and I don’t use sights other weapons I do but I sometimes I go in to a room and eliminate Avery body with my gun tilted I don’t know if it’s because I know were I’m shooting or because it just less accurate and it just so happens it hits them this vid was useful but for some weapons

Love video any tips for contractors

"I'd recommend you play 30 - 1 hour before your practice session" Koala: 👹

How versatile is the bowk? I know that the magtube is said to be very adjustable and can fit almost any gun in every vr game, but I have heard from some people that it can have tracking issues as well as having difficulty finding the magnet after reloading, does the bowk have any of those issues? btw thank you for the very informative video!

Would love to see what your thought are on ALVO

I think aim alone doesn't make you a good player, but (IMO) having bad aim can make you a bad FPS player. Competent aim is a requirement for being a competent FPS player in general in pancake games or in VR. This video is literal gold - Great reminder that I stopped practicing aim this season and I've complained a lot about missing my shots but not worked to fix it. As always great videos!

Do u use a stock, what was the rifle u used in the range?

Legend says that mice cant hear this guy

10:54 you're a mad man

Man, I thought i was getting decent at reloading until I watched you reload that LMG faster than I reload an AKM

What’s a good app on be oculus quest 2? I’m trying to get better but I need something like this

Helpful cause I suck when it comes to aim

Hi new here, my Onward game is downloading

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

guys in Contractors do you use stocks? i have one i use for Onward but im not sure how useful it is in other games.

bro, what do you think about using gun club VR for training the aim

Is there any Plattform to join competitive matches ? Like esea or esl just for vr.

Do you recommend getting a controller stock? Or is that a gimmick?

im assuming u use a vr physical stock? don't have money to buy one but they seem cool.

One thing for newbies, even though the target audience tend to be former soldiers etc.... Learn to aim with your both eyes open. Seems simple enough but isn't, if you don't really engage in firearms.

Wish I had known this channel when I was just starting lol. Do you think we could ply together sometime I curious as to we’re I am to u and someone on the discord said you were the best player.

Dude, you’re like the “what I’ve learned” but for gaming. (“what I’ve learned” is another Chanel that gives good tutorials on… life but he’s fkn good… like this) lol

can anyone help how i can be more stable? i play freehand so im not stable at all. i started playing 1 week ago and i only have 18 hours so does it improve by itself when i play?

Hey bro could you tell us your volume settings in onward

Pog

Is it on quest?

U say noobs shud stick to rifleman, but I prefer marksmanship, class i like to weapons and maps, and love the sniping aspect of this awesome game

Do the lmgs have limited rang I dumped 150 rounds into a sniper to creat cover fire and he didn’t even move

Something I would add to more a physical thing than something in just in VR. Be hydrated! Drink water not energy drinks or soda. WATER!

It's crazy cos I'm terrible with a keyboard and mouse but never have a problem in vr.

You're technically making gun kata

How do you use pistols with the stock?

In onward the one who shoots first and has a gun pointed at the target will probably win, the chances get higher with a rifle

I need the maps

how can i get on a team i have all the stuff to play i play alot of vr fps

My hands are too shaky to hold the weapon still. any ideas to help

I've been using the virtual stock fezture for a few months now and i kind of swear by it but do you think it has a stratigic element?

you could always just rest your right hand on your left arm

I just wanna say that it feels like 2013 again does it? People are still trying to learn to be better like how early cod was

This dude reminds me of Paul Harrel.

Hey man, I haven’t played onward multiplayer yet because me and my friend have been practicing on bots, since we are new but would you recommend a ‘steady and slow’ play style or rushing to a better advantage on the enemy?

Just got a quest and onward this week, probably the single least toxic community I've ever joined

Not sure how many players use the 'whole body' for the game. Most probably still move with the control sticks only. If use use some 'run in place' system like VRocker, things tend to be a bit more shaky.

My eyesight sucks, so that’s my biggest issue, target acquisition

I don't think I could get a stock if it's that much

What game is this

H3VR is good for training aim

i just wanna be able to finish fallout 4 vr

Do you reply to every comment, if so, nice

This is the same in real life ...

You tell me what to do. But not how to do it.

Easiest thing to do is just train with real firearms and then translate everything over to VR
