Resident Evil 4 VR is one of the best VR games for Oculus Quest 2 (now Meta Quest 2). And for those who want more zombie action, a free update is coming next year that adds a popular mode from the original.
The Mercenaries, a remix of the basic arcade-style gameplay, is set to return to Resident Evil 4 VR next year as a form of free DLC.
The mode works similarly to Left 4 Dead, where waves of enemies rush at the player as they hunt for resources between timed hoarding rounds. The goal is to overcome as many hordes as possible before a helicopter takes you to safety.
“The mercenaries have been an integral part of Resident Evil 4 since the GameCube era. Their goal is to fight both against the clock and against a never-ending horde of ganados. Your goal is to kill as many enemies as you can before the time runs out and the helicopter arrives, ”explained Meta, the new name of Facebook’s parent company, which also oversees Oculus.
“It’s an exciting arcade version of Resident Evil 4 combat, and the intensity will take to a new level once you follow in Leon’s footsteps in Quest 2. “
Personally, Resident Evil 4 VR has become my best reason to buy an Oculus Quest 2. Not only is it exciting to throw a knife from hand to hand in VR, it also brings a level of familiarity and remixes it enough to make it feel brand new.
Meta also announced that new mobility and comfort settings will be coming: “Early next year we plan to add hand-based controls, improved left-handed controls, height adjustment and an option to fine-tune the position of your chest and waist inventory slots so you can put your grenades on a place that suits you best. “
The Mercenaries DLC is slated to hit the market sometime in 2022. Meta Quest 2 is also seeing some sales, with Amazon offering a free $ 50 gift card with purchases. It’s such a good deal that it’s on our list of Black Friday best deals, and for good reason. The Quest 2 rarely sees sales or discounts, making it one of the best ever.
Unfortunately, the Oculus Store doesn’t offer gift cards, which means you can’t use that $ 50 Amazon gift card to purchase additional Oculus credit. However, it would be possible to purchase a $ 50 Visa Gift Card and use it at the Oculus Store. Another great item to buy alongside the Quest 2 is the Elite Strap with battery and carrying case. Not only does it offer extra battery life, it is more convenient than the base strap and the carry case is handy and well designed.
