pavlov actually has custom weapons skins maps and gamemodes you just have to really dig deep to find them
As someone who has played Pavlov shack for 2 years, and contractors for 2 I still can’t decide. Pavlov has more social interaction and funny modes to mess with people like TTT or the Hide. But Contractors has the Co-op modes and the STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT MODS!!! It played PERFECTLY! So I would say both are good in there own categories
thanks man for ur review !
There is you press the Mastic with your dominant hand and then a wheel pop up go to upgrades with a weapon in your hand and then select your attachment
On pavlov kart i helped design some of the things on there, w vid
Great vid🎉
in pavlov in order to customize your weapons in the shooting range you can just pick it up over near the pistols and put it on your weapon. not every gun can have every attachment, so it will vary. in a resl game mode, you buy weapons when you spawn by clicking in your right thumbstick. the weapons will be separated by class (smg, heavy, rifle) there will be a separate section for grandes and armor and another for adding attachments to your gun. however you have to have your gun in the hand with the buy menu in order to add attachments. hope this helped
In Pavlov to customize a gun u have to hold down on the right thumb stick with the gun u want to customize
The best way to describe these games to someone. Pavlov is CSGO. Contractors is Call of Duty
Pavlov was originally on the pc. It had lots of mods to choose from. When they made it cross-platform to psvr2, it took alot of the content away because of sonys modding policy. Such a shame because it was my favorite fps. I now have bought contractors because of that reason.
Pavlov still has all the mods on PC. Its only playstation that doesnt support mods on pavlov.
@@FPS-WIFI mine got deleted. Only got a select few left. Can't find them either in search.
Contractors shines in mods which makes up for lack of detail in the stock modes. Pavlov is a good intro into vr shooters
is this played just on quest 3 or do you suggest getting it on pc oculus store and airlink it? Just curious if it plays fine without being connected to a pc
Plays great on standalone, but apparently you get more mods on the console/PC version
@@dermomedia alright sweet, appreciate it!
Can you move around in the space on your own in Contractors?
Yes
Contractors has manual reload It's just only works on certain guns
I have both. Been playing Contractors since 2021. Contractors gameplay is smoother, graphics are better, and weapon handling is flawless. It’s a fast pace shooter tho. A lot of run and gunning on smaller maps. The mod community is gigantic. Star Wars: Battlefront mods, Halo mods, Titanfall mods and so much more. You have a physical gunstock calibration option AND you can choose to play sitting down if you wish.
I recently bought Pavlov Shack and have been playing it for a few weeks. The gunfights are more intense and very fun and at times seems like a scene from a movie. However this means it takes more bullets to put your enemy down. I dislike when I shoot an enemy in the head and only their helmet flies off while they are still alive. Weapon switching is a pain also as I constantly have to holster my weapon on my back if I want to throw a grenade or switch to pistol.
In Contractors when you let go of your weapon it automatically goes back to the FRONT of your body, which is much easier to grasp. the holster mechanic in Pavlov is flawed. There have been countless times where i go to holster my weapon on my back and it ends up on the ground behind me. When I go to reach for it, it’s not there and then I have to turn around and look on the ground for it while multiple enemies are shooting at me. And if you don’t grab your weapon off the ground within 5 seconds IT DISAPPEARS!
Another big issue I am having with Pavlov is invisible walls. So many times I go to shoot from behind cover and there are bullet holes just floating in the air inches above from wherever I am taking cover. In order to solve this I have to raise my head higher thus exposing myself to be killed easily. Also there is no physical gunstock calibration option and no sitting to play option in Pavlov. And a another frustrating thing is the sprint mechanic. Sometimes sprint doesn’t even register w the auto sprint option. So many times I am being shot at and go to run away, but instead I slowly walk away if my head is slightly down. Better off just pushing sprint button instead of auto sprint.
Pavlov is a lot of fun, but it still needs much improvement. I figured the developers would have fixed all these issues BEFORE charging full price.
Pavlov is great, but Contractors is further ahead
Absolutely well said and great + valid points. Contractors is definitely a more complete game at this point in time.
I also noticed the guns falling out on Pavlov, am not a fan at all
Well let me ask you something, which game is accessible to a disabled person like me who has cerebral palsy on my right arm
@@DrezzyEFTPseems like it would be Contractors cause of being able to play it while seated and with a physical stock
@@DrezzyEFTP how would you reload
I think if you want a normal gun game with a majority in search and destroy and more realistic guns, shack is the way to go,
but if you want the crazy variety of mods especially the zombie maps and just a more CS:GO experience, contractors is the way to go
What's the haptic feedback like in the quest controllers?
Pretty much the same as a dualshock 4 controller
The vehicles in Pavlov are cool.
I thought that under the pistol racks there were optics grips and lasers?
holy shit titanfall player detected.
(my titanfall brainrot when i see someone with a titanfall pfp kicking in)
@@InfernalNull that made me happy
@@ClarkThiqq me pointing out your titanfall pfp or what.
Contractors win simply because of its mod community.
I could very well be wrong but personally I enjoy Contractors way more than pavlov
I don’t think you’ve played Pavlo that much
The only difference between contractor and pavlov is
That Contractor has a better modding systeem and better mechanics, and Pavlov shack has more fun gamemode.
Contractors for more realistic mechanics. Like you can't get the mag out of an m4 without pressing the mag release. Recoil isn't ass. Time to kill is better. I think you didn't really played both games.
@@Oiiiii i see
Im buyin a quest 3 ,i gota try this
Check out Breachers. It’s better and more polished.
Pavlov has had the zombies maps for like 6 years. Look at Minecraft zombies it’s actually really fun
Yeah Pavlov VR has a lot. But the quest version of Pavlov Shack has basically nothing since it is cross platform with Sony and has a stricter modding rule.
In my opinion, Pavlov shack is better Because if you have ever played SND you will understand
What makes you like it better?
I love the community and the guns in the custom game modes and the custom guns and I really like SND
What’s SND? I’m new to these games and VR
Search and Destroy!@@xicetrayx2023
@@dermomedia you know.. I thought about it after posting the comment and that’s what I was thinking… thanks for confirming that for me 😅
its not a clip its called a mag
An unfortunate mistake I failed to correct in post 🥲
So Pavlov has a lot of customization actually. I think you missed it but if you just push down the joystick it'll open up the menu and also Pavlov has a bunch of game modes. Actually you were just looking at the single player ones. Plus Pavlov has way better graphics and way better gunplay
Woah woah woah, you missed something. Pavlov has over 15 gamemodes, offline only has a select few because ai is kinda hard to implement in some of them. AND idk how you missed it but there is customization in pavlov in certain gamemodes like TDM, if you clixk your left joystick.
ANOTHER THING pavlov was made in 2017, contractors was in 2018. The reason they are so far apart in quality is because contractors was paid a majority of the time and pavlov was only recently started being paid. Its a lack of funding
I dont have anything to say about the gameplay since i dont have a Quest, but graphically its Breachers hands down. It is a generation ahead other shooters like Pavlov Shackles and Contractors.
I'll have to check it out! You have experience on the PC version, then? Might have to snag it.
Shackles?
@@2Guys1ControllerShow
A word play joke because the game is a watered down port with less content , mediocre graphics and no connectivity with pcvr/psvr players.
Disagree breachers is kinda a let down
I enjoy contractors more.
Pavlov has been around for like 5 years It's on PC steam VR
Deal breaks (immersion breakers) for me are VR games where you have just floating hands and no body. I need to see arms or it's just weird. Newer games like Arizona 2 with floating hands just makes no sense to me. Should be a basic thing.
this has never even crossed my mind lol. I just play the game
What about onward or ghost of tabor
Ghosts of tabor is one of my favorite’s but it’s just too different to be compared
I think pavlov has been around since 2017
better to buy all! all these are too good.
Pavlov shack isn't new new, it just recently got an official release. The beta has been available for awhile I was playing it on a quest 2 in 2021.
True that. Has it gotten better in time in your opinion?
@@dermomedia can't say as I had to get rid of my quest 2 later that year due to financial issues. Had a lot of fun with it while I had it tho. In a bit better place financially now so I was wanting to buy another one but I seen the 3 had just come out so I was cruising videos to see if it was worth the extra price. 256gb quest 2 is only $300 rn but the quest 3 is $500 for the 128 which I feel is not quite enough unless I wanna delete stuff all the time (especially with no expandable storage). If I were to get a quest 3 it would have to be the larger 512gb one but that's $650 rn. You think the 3 is worth a bit over double the price of the 2? Specifically when it comes to shooters like Pavlov, Onward and Contractors. Like in terms of graphical fidelity and play experience.
@@killer2931 if you’re remotely concerned about $, I feel as though the 2 is pretty dang close. My brother has a 2 and it’s obviously not the same as the 3 but it’s definitely capable and a great experience.
Look on Facebook marketplace for a used 2. I bought one right before 3 release for $80, they’re constantly on there for way cheaper than retail.
2:16 their called magazines, not clips
I read tons and tons of good reviews about Contractors thinking it was great, but honestly it felt clunky and worse than Pavlov. I thereby refunded my money.
you can add attachments in pavlov you are just blind
The fact that you can strip a *magazine out of an M4 by hand without pressing the magazine release in Pavlov is actually LESS realistic.
I have hours upon hours in both and contractors is better.
I suppose that is a valid point - real guns have a release button. I agree!
I was going to say the same.. As a US Army vet I was curious why he mentioned the release... Guns have a mag release IRL.
@@IrishBiteGirl right lol. Muscling the magazine out without depressing the magazine release is definitely not realistic… but it would be impressive.
Actually the M4 is one of the guns you can drop the mag with a button. Ak's you can smack the mag out with another mag for a quick load. Heavies you have to flip the chamber grab the belt close the chamber and rack it. It's pretty true to life.
@@aceswild8329I think we may be talking about two different things lol
pavlov does have custom maps and servers.
Your playing offline game mod in pavlov
Zombies in contractors?
i personally love Pavlov more due to it basically being Battlefield if you play Push with 24 players including vehicles it truly makes the game feel like all out war.
btw if your on PC some maps actually have helicopters
wow I never knew it had vehicles. I never played it cause too many people said it was like Counter Strike
@@chrisdude2675 playing on modes like TDM or SND is like counter strike but like i states modes like WW2TDM and PUSH are usually big scale vehicle wars
@@zipical Im uninstalling contractors and finally give this game a try. Problem I had with Contractors is you cant mod the bots too. But I do want to play a Battlefield type game in VR that isnt Wardust
@@chrisdude2675 do note that the more battlefield style modes are less populated despite the higher player cap
couldnt find it on single player mode. is it on multiplayer mode only?@@zipical
I disagree with you. On Pavlov, you can buy your own weapons and gear, buy attachments for those weapons, and place those attachments ANYWHERE you want on a piccatiny rail. Pavlov also has many custom maps to play on including custom game modes like CoD Zombies that works the same as you reviewed for Contractors. I really think you should give Pavlov another shot to learn a bit more about it and I think you'll eventually prefer it over Contractors.
Definitely not opposed to giving it another go! I will on your note - I haven't picked it up since I made this review, but I'm inclined to check it back out!
@@dermomedia This guy is talking about Pavlov VR on Steam, not the standalone Shack version.
The version on Steam when you connect to the PC has more stuff and the CoD zombies maps, the one you have on the Quest store doesn't though.
Heck, did you even take the tutorial?
I think he missed part of it because customization is definitely there. I saw it 15 minutes into the gun range.
Pavlov isnt a new game, its basicly the OG vr fps game
IMO contractors has more realistic reloading, because with guns like the mk18 you have to press a button to release the mag, while with AK’s you don’t have to just like in real life. Also, a strong argument you had with Pavlov shack, is that it hasn’t been out for long? I mean the full game hasn’t, but all of the old mods and maps just transferred over to the full game. Good video though.
Pavlov is not just push a button thats just pistols unless its a revolver. The m4 you can drop with a button or load by hand. AK you can smack the mag out load a new one and rack for a quick load. I dont think you have played pavlov?
@@aceswild8329 that’s why contractors is more realistic. And yea I had Pavlov for a LONG time. You’re just missing my point.
Dam how many times you gonna call a magazine a clip 😂 there very different in appearance dont know how you can get them mixed up
ahahaha. I wish I could tell you. I had the vocab messy as a kid and it never recovered rip
@@dermomedia fair enough man just don't go to a gun store and ask for a clip because your be handed strips of metal and you'll be standing there scratching your head haha 🤣
Pavlov has been around since 2017
Not the version he is playing. He's playing Shack, the standalone Quest one.
The Steam one has a lot more stuff.
Thats NOT a clip, its a magazine 😂
Gameplay wise, Pavlov, community wise, contractors.
I’m sorry but Pavlov shack has some of the most IMMATURE and toxic players.
It’s funny, that seems to be the biggest problem with Pavlov across the board.
Contractors strafing is absolutely horrible. It Is so abusive and toxic. They need to fix it bad
I did not watch that whole video for that conclusion
It’s a magazine
Sorry I only read books
Contract lacks
Magazine, not clip.
"Pavlov is brand new" sure buddy
Pavlov is not brand new. Its been out long enough to be as good as contractors. But it just isnt.
They are called magazines sir not clips 🤦🏽
I read magazines and use clips to hold my bags of chips shut
Rust looks terrible on Pavlov lol. Contractors is king.
Pavlov has more gamemode, there in the online section were you select which mode you want:
The hide (hunting a invicible superhuman)
Infection
Team deathmacht
deathmacht
prop hunt
TTT(a among us type game but complex)
Gun mode
One in the chamber
Ww2 TDM
WW2 gun mode
Pavlov also has gore
If you don't now
You’re completely correct, it does. I noticed shorty after I uploaded.
Unfortunately there were some instances where I overlooked some features on both sides when I was looking at game modes :/
you forgot to mention that pavlov shack has:
- kids
- lots of kids
But contractors has like a million custom game modes and there is a crap ton of gamemodes in contractors
@Jesus_Christ_Son_of_God777 but which game is more accessible to a disabled person like myself
None.. Onward VR is most realistic/smoothest gunplay
Tried pavlov but its just complete garbo
You must be joking? Pavlov is one of the funnest and best VR games there is
You should give it another try, my favorites are snd and push
