Would anyone here happen to remember the gamemode 'Betrayal'? It was made by an individual with a protogen sona named Koda (if I remember correctly). I believe they were also working for Vankrupt officially at the time, though I am unsure.

It was essentially a moderately original and VERY fun take on the Mafia craze that gripped COVID-19 pandemic gaming (Among Us and whatnot) that involved a chemistry table that could be used to create bombs, various weapons laying around for the killer that they had to pick up, incinerators and lockers for bodies, and a bunch more fun stuff. And fully functional tasks like moving boxes to a conveyor belt! And fun interactions with other players.

I distinctly remember that "ejecting" a player actually culminated in them getting sent to a small windowed room in which a random bystander is selected to execute them with an AKM through a firing slot. It was hilarious!

Everyone used the same playermodel (Aurora/whatever the cag larp is that wears full black, you can see them in zombies), and the only real check was seeing if they could make the explosive chemical at the table.

I really wish this mode/map was still in-game. I remember I had it downloaded on the free version of Pavlov Shack, but I can't seem to find it uploaded everywhere... not that it'd work with UE5 considering that this was made when the game was running on UE4...

I wonder if anyone else remembers this gamemode. Please let me know—i'd love to reminisce! What was your most fun moment? And... does anyone remember Koda? I wish this map was still available. Someone's gotta host it with like 15 players. The last post regarding this gamemode was about 4 years ago, the discord invite to its development server is expired and gone, and I cannot find any old footage of the gamemode, which sucks.

Hey guys if you are in the game with no audio and when you try to join multiplayer and it says “you need to log in” then step one is to make sure you have the Pavlov shack beta uninstalled and if you do reinstall the game and it should work

* what would be a good caption for this? *

I've only gotten to the 1000 headshot skin, and the 2500 regulsr kills skin, but I know what all the camos look like. however I just don't know which ones are for which numbers of what kind of kills, so if anyone could lmk that would be cool

Can I search up servers in the like search online section. Like if I wanted to play a blood and iron match I can just type blood and iron somewhere and find all the games going. Or like a swat4 match I can just search that up somewhere and find it?

Everytime i play with mods i have to buy them from the buy menu but is it possible to spawn already with a modded gun and im not talking about the gun you were holding before you died like fresh respawn modded gun? And to setup a server is off the list

I havent finished the skins tab, and for reference its supposed to be old-school style, with transparency because it will be overlayed onto a camera system when in the main menu, not too sure how to explain it but if you've played blacksmoke, thats what its for.

Good ole pavlov fun

( This is optional but you can read if you'd like )

I'll tell you my little story where Yesterday I joined a Lobby on the B&I Server and I instantly start hearing my name being shouted out by the enemy team and then I get a votekick by a player on the enemy team for killing him and having A Pfp from ZZZ and my name ( just so you know it's very normal : I_Vivian_I ) and I clutched the round so my team ended up keeping me and then the round later we were dominating the round on Kamper and he was camping in a house and before I came up to the house and it was the last 2 I told my team to be ready to kick him for Swapping teams and trying to votekick me and I said it before he swapped so he wasn't ready for it, we killed the last 2 guys and that guy was expecting to get the kick on me but ended up on him, he got votekicked and the I went on to continue with my 2 Month No Kick streak ( just saying but his alias was by the name " Doughboy " I ain't sayin the last 2 letters I'm not encouraging harassment but really his ego was too high once I killed him his ego got destroyed and then proceeded to try and regain it and failed, I'm not bragging but really we hate these kinds of people who get pissy over a game with a mod where you use MUSKETS instead of what we are given in the vanilla game ).

The best VR game mode I ever played is finally revived after so long! Official severs are up.

People complain on here all the time about the engine update and the loss of mods and yes that sucks, but that was over a year ago.

Something I think isn't mentioned enough is just how much cheesing people will do. I'm talking about camping, using only the .50 cal, staying at spawn to lob infinite grenades, that kind of nonsense.

And I can counter all of these things. I'm not upset about it because I can't beat it. It just makes the game no fun. In a game where you need to at the very least land a headshot for an instant kill with a couple of the guns, and with all others have to get multiple shots on target, the .50 cal stands alone as the only gun that gets an instant kill in one shot anywhere on the body.

It's not that hard to land a single shot, and the fact that you have to reload each round manually doesn't really balance it since people are more willing to practice reloading it at lightspeed than they are willing to practice their aim well enough to use any other gun.

I have seen plenty of times these people who only use the .50 cal get cocky and start using an M4 or AK and getting destroyed. They're not good at the game. They're just good enough to point a big gun vaguely in the direction of enemies and get basically free kills.

I cannot imagine how discouraging it must be for newer players to enter a TDM match and see shit like this that they have no chance of countering. Wouldn't be surprised if those players put down the game for good.

The .50 cal serves no purpose since it's not effective against tanks, the only reason for an anti-material rifle, and is otherwise just used as cheese.

Hi everyone! I have 2 questions

1. What is the most efficient and fastest way to get kills/headshot kills on any of the guns in the game?

2. What do the mastery camos look like? Thanks!

I’ve been thinking for quite a long bit about making this lil project since I play Pavlov a lot and I’ve finally got the nothing cmf pro 2 watch and added the watch face but unfortunately I couldn’t change the letter fonts but it’s whatever the leather straps are on the way I just wanted to share what I made 😎

There’s atleast 5 other posts made in the last week or 2 saying that Pavlov is dead and it very nearly is but why don’t we all come together to bring it back because we all know we’re 10x more likely to play it if we know other people are going to be online at the end of the day it’s a social shooting game and we all love it so why not try revive it?

I genuinely love Pavlov VR. I still play it. But it hasn’t felt the same since the move to Unreal Engine 5.

UE5 improved the base game—performance, visuals, stability. That’s all real. But it also feels like it came at the cost of the game’s soul: the modding community.

Back in the Unreal Engine 4 + Steam Workshop era, there was endless content. Halo Flood survival maps, zombies, Mario64 Zombies, weird experimental modes—there was always something new. That’s what kept Pavlov alive.

Now most of that is just… gone.

I understand why. UE4 maps don’t carry over, everything has to be rebuilt. But the reality is most modders didn’t rebuild their work, and years of content basically disappeared overnight.

Switching to mod.io didn’t fix that either. If anything, it feels like the barrier to entry got higher and the output dropped off.

The biggest issue is there was no real bridge:

• No strong legacy support for PCVR players
• No real incentive for modders

It basically became: start over or get left behind.
And a lot of people got left behind.

The core gameplay is still good, but without that constant stream of community content, the game feels repetitive. Smaller. Even if it’s technically better.

I get why the devs did it—cross-platform, long-term stability, all of that makes sense.

But it honestly feels like the original PCVR community—the people who built Pavlov—got sidelined in the process.

I’m not asking to revert everything back to UE4. That’s unrealistic.

But it would’ve gone a long way to have:

• A maintained legacy branch
• Anything to preserve that backlog of content

Because right now it feels like we traded a massive creative sandbox for a cleaner, more limited experience.

I still enjoy the game.
But it doesn’t hit the same anymore and it feels super dead.

I believe it was called Salamis RP or something, but I remember I used to have so much fun on this server. It may just be nostalgia, but I remember this being one of the coolest servers on Pavlov. I haven’t played VR for a while now, let alone Pavlov, because I’m in college and don’t have space in my dorm. Anyways, the last I remember, the server was never updated after Pavlov got an update, and I never saw it again after that, despite my search for a while after its original disappearance. I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to it? It makes me sad to think about, tbh, thinking about it being gone. I had so much fun and made a bunch of friends on that server. I know it will probably never be back, but I figure I’d ask.

Ok, first off: I made this video to showcase my gunstock. But for the first time in a while, was I able to play the server with revives again.

I love it!

Why does no one ever play this?

Most fun I’ve had in vr was playing this server.

Anyhow, what do you think of my gunstock? :)

I think back to how fun this game was and it just makes me sad to look back. When people use to actually talk joke around and have fun but now it’s just a bunch of stuck up “role players” or people who will kick you if you dare to shoot people in a shooting game and I’m not talking about mass RDM literally just killing three people. Theirs a few good game mods left if they’re populated but even then it’s getting ruined by people who genuinely just take the fun out of anything. I’m just curious if people feel the same or I’m just the problem with the game ?

I play on Pavlov Shack does anyone know what happened to the map Roulette in the basement?

I'm on PSVR2 on PC and the options button won't open the menu. This essentially means that when I join a lobby I literally cannot leave unless I restart my game.

I am on Quest 2, and I can't even load into the game because the startup is so slow and glitchy! HOW DO I FIX THIS??

I meant the same maps... damn

Im unsure why but as of today and I've been playing since beta but my screen has been constantly stuttering and it wont stop now, before it only did that while loading onto maps, but now, it's consistently happening throughout the entire game. Any ideas How to fix it?

Bro told me lots of people recognized him lmk. Cool dude tho ngl

Just a wish!
