Grit Paintball

Grit Paintball is a virtual reality paintball tournament trainer and simulator, aimed mainly at current paintball players who want to practice at home. You use a mouse, keyboard and monitor for the menus and field-building tools, then enter VR to experience the field you designed.

Design and walk fields

The in-game layout editor includes an up-to-date 2022 NXL Paintball bunker set. You can save and load layouts locally, or share them with other players as small text files sent by email or messenger. In VR, you can walk a field layout before a real event to look for blind shots, bounce shots, lanes and other areas you might miss when walking a real field. Field owners and tournament operators can also walk their designs to check whether they need adjustments before publishing them for an event.

Practice targets

The field editor includes targets for practicing muscle memory for breakouts and snap shots. With a large enough play area, you can also practice moving from bunker to bunker.

VR equipment

The game requires one VR controller but detects two. Its design lets you replicate swapping your gun from hand to hand. Grit Paintball is compatible with the Vive Tracker or a VR controller; custom hardware is being developed to let players use their own paintball gun with a Vive Tracker.
