5 Ghosts of Tabor Tips and Tricks to Help You Survive and Extract

Mar 19

Want to have huge raids and big loot in Ghosts of Tabor? Well if you’re just starting out in VR’s only extraction shooter you might have a hard time getting in, getting some noteable loot, and getting out alive. It can be intimidating, and you might be concerned with losing your equipment before making any progress. Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with 5 Tips and Tricks that will help you get in and get out with the goods.

Always Bring a Backpack

You should always have a backpack whenever you start a raid. The first backpack that you can buy is super cheap and holds a decent amount of stuff. Since backpacks aren’t commonly found in raid you might end up with a bunch of items to extract with but no way to hold them all if you don’t bring one. A backpack is always worth the low price. If you don’t bring one you’re losing out on a lot of potential gains.

You should come in with a gun too, even if it’s just a pistol, and an extra magazine in your backpack. You might decide to try and see if you can find one in raid for the ultimate budget zero to hero sort of run. That’s up to you, though bringing a gun of some kind is a very good idea so you can at least shoot a FENIX scav and take their weapon. You don’t want to bet on finding a slain enemy with their gun lying by them before enemies find you.

You might also be thinking that you just want to go in with nothing so that you risk nothing and can learn the maps. If that’s what you want then keep reading. There’s a much more fun way to learn the maps.

Use Training Mode to Learn Maps and Warm Up

If you’re new to Ghosts of Tabor then the maps and how they are laid out with loot spawns and extraction points might be hard to figure out at first when you’re constantly worried another player is going to get you. While you have a compass that tells you what direction the extracts are in, it’s still hard to find them on some maps like Missile Silo. When you’re ready to leave you’re going to want to get to one as soon as possible.

Well you don’t have to risk your equipment to learn the maps. Each map in Ghosts of Tabor has a training mode that is the exact same as a normal raid, except there will be no other players and any equipment gained and lost is not saved. When you die or extract you’ll have the same gear on you as when you went in.

Training mode is a great way to warm up by fighting some FENIX, and to get your bearings on each map before you risk it all in a raid.

Selling Guns Is Easy Early Money

As far as what you bring out of raid with you, selling guns is the easiest way to make early money. If you get a pistol from a dead FENIX grunt, just pop it in your bag. Each will sell for a few thousand at least, much more than most of the loot items that you will find in boxes and crates (though you should still check those too). You can also complete FENIX kill quests while you’re at it for more money and reputation.

If you’re wondering what sells then guns are always a safe bet. You can carry a long arm on your chest and a pistol at your waist. You also extract with whatever is in your hands, as well as what you have stored on you. So if there’s some guns really close to an extract and you don’t think there are any enemies, you can carry two additional weapons in your hands, and they’ll appear with you in your safe house.

Be careful though, fighting FENIX members means you’ll make a lot of noise and possibly attract other players.

Keep Your Ears and Eyes Open

Especially when you’re sorting out equipment or stuffing items into your backpack, make sure to always listen for gunshots and footsteps. Your ears are your best way to know if enemies, especially other players, are close to you. While looting as quickly as possible is always good, if you hear quick footsteps or gunshots near to you it’s better to not risk being caught by surprise with your backpack in your hands. Either leave if you want to avoid a fight, or have your gun up and be ready for one.

While hearing is great, especially when in close quarters, the sound of footsteps doesn’t go extremely far. So when you’re playing on more open maps like the Island of Tabor, make sure to keep a look out, and check behind you from time to time. Try to stick to areas with foliage and objects that break lines of sight to you. An enemy could be sneaking up behind you with a rifle and shoot you before they’re close enough for you to hear them.

Turn off Full Body for Easier Looting

One of the biggest additions that VR brings to the raid shooter/extraction shooter genre that can’t be found elsewhere in games like Escape From Tarkov, is that you have to physically handle items and loot. Picking items up off of the floor can be especially tricky if you’ve got the Full Body model turned on. While the full body model looks really cool, the legs have an annoying habit of blocking your view to any items on the floor.

Unfortunately you can’t move your legs out of the way like real legs, and so it will be easier to pick up items if you turn the Full Body model off and change it to Hands Only.

There you have it, 5 Tips and Tricks for Ghosts of Tabor. Good luck in your raids and may your stash always grow larger.

A Fun Singleplayer VR Tactical Shooter On The Meta Quest 3 - Tactical Assault VR Review

I keep coming back to Tactical Assault VR. Whenever I want to jump into Virtual Reality and do a bit of Singleplayer tactical shooting there’s no game that I’ve found myself drifting towards loading up for a few missions more often than this one.

Part of me wonders why, and the answer I keep coming back to is just how snappy and satisfying the whole experience is. Despite having very basic and blocky visuals, Tactical Assault VR is the closest any Singleplayer shooter on the Meta Quest 3 (it is also on PCVR via Steam by the way) has come to absolutely nailing the sound and most importantly the feeling of a quick and responsive tactical shooter in Virtual Reality.

There are, weirdly enough, very few good representations of a Singleplayer VR Tactical Shooter out there for the Meta Quest 3, though there are some in development on PCVR. Onward is another good example I suppose, but its Singleplayer is lacking when compared to the game we’re talking about in this article.

VR Isn’t Dying Or Dead - It Is Uncomfortable Though

Maybe it was the aggressive amount of work I did that day, but I just could not get the Meta Quest 3 headset to sit comfortably on my head. This is despite upgrading from the default headstrap to the Elite Strap. Honestly, the headset feels almost unusable for more than thirty minutes without the elite strap and I think that it should come with one by default, but that’s only part of the problem.

What bothered me more was the weight of it, despite the Meta Quest 3 being slimmer than the Quest 2, it is still about as heavy. Sure the weight sits closer to your face so it feels lighter, but the weight of the device is apparent despite it being packaged more comfortably.

Regardless of the improvements made in Virtual Reality head mounted display technology, it’s still a big hunk of stuff strapped to your face, and the fact that you need to strap it in place, even if those straps are well-designed and comfortable, means that there’s going to be pressure on your head from the weight of the device.
