Mercenaries VR

Mercenaries VR is a virtual reality game about taking part in special operations for an international Coalition formed by major governments in response to a global terrorist threat. The Coalition recruits soldiers, police officers, special unit operatives and people who have completed specialized training and a psychological evaluation. Applicants sign a contract, and their records are checked for a shady past.

Special operations

You take part in missions including hostage rescues, combat operations, territory liberation and VIP security. The Coalition records operations using body cameras, location-tracking devices and health sensors, then has a special task force analyze the data.

Tactics and survival

Combat allows little room for error: three hits are enough to kill you, and you get no second chances. You use cover, listen for sounds, plan your actions, remember enemy positions and attack directions, and react and aim quickly. You also cover teammates, distinguish friends from foes, manage your ammunition and use different firearms, including weapons that may not suit the operation when they are your only option.

In physical play, you stand in one place and can move one or two steps to either side. You look around corners and crouch to check your surroundings. The game also lets you change your leading hand.
