VR ‘FOB Basket’ awaits in Onward’s latest update: gear up for night maps and new tactics

Hey, VR warriors! Grab your gear because 'Onward', the tactical military sim, just rolled out Update 1.13 for Meta’s headsets like the Quest 3. The devs at Downpour Interactive have been busy, and it shows. They've fine-tuned the co-op modes, dropped in a shiny new map, upgraded night vision goggles, and a bunch more.

Let's talk about the Player vs Environment (PvE) game modes first. They've gotten a serious revamp. Now, bots don't just beeline for you; they've got new tactics like flanking and seeking cover. And when you down them? They're not just disappearing - you can loot them for weapons and gear. Plus, in Hunt mode, bots spawn all at once, so you can strategize your attack from the get-go.

The latest shiny new map, FOB Basset is a U.S. military base where you can socialize and hang out with players in either free roam and social game modes, it consists of an infirmary, relaxation rooms, and yes – a basketball court. Why? Because nothing says "prepared for battle" like sinking three-pointers. Plus, there's a weekly global leaderboard for those hoops. It's not just for fun; it doubles as grenade-throwing practice. Two birds, one stone.
