I really haven't had much trouble with finding a signal jammer but I guess 4 might actually be overkill since the time left to hack the laptop is low after you kill the entire team.

Firewall Zero Hour |OT| Tactical Table-Tripping Shooter
- Thread starter Shock32
- Start date
This is the first VR game that I've actually played for more than a half-hour at a time. Absolutely love it. Makes me nostalgic for old shooters like Zipper Interactive's stuff.
Terrible at my first attempts but the atmosphere this creates is great.
I would say the comparisons to CS / RS6 are more than fair.
What i want from future updates:
- a presidential plane level (surely!)
- lower unlocks or more XP
- money capital unlocks for those who dont that the time capital to unlock via the grind
- ability to go into games of 3x, 5x or 10x matches with xp earned included in the match overall scoring
- ability to neutralise targets non-lethal and restrain them, equalling xp and unlocks
So far a solid 8.5/10

Also, if taken out non-lethal, maybe those players unable to access the post death security cameras. Reward that risky yet tactical play.
More thoughts after playing about 8ish hours or so
-The community is fantastic. 99% of the people I have played with have been friendly and talkative. I've added 4 or 5 people to my friends list because we played so long together.
-I'm officially addicted to this game. My fiance and I bought tickets to a 1:30PM movie, but I told her to push it back to 2PM. It wasn't a hassle because we have AMC Stubs so it was easy to cancel and choose a different showtime.
This is the best VR game released.

Is there a big community for VR games like this? I remember RIGS being well liked but I don't hear anything about it after release
Watch out with "snipe-ya_", he's a heavy toxic user, which kicks out both enemies and teammates in public matches.
Apparently, I am not the first one meeting him, another guy on the FW Discord had a moment with him as well https://i.imgur.com/M8c6vOk.png
The only thing we can really do is to spread awareness, and if you ever match with him on the same team, let your teammates know and leave.
Just my 5 cents

This, I played it for the first time last night and spent most of my time loading in and out of lobbies. I'm not sure why they don't do first to three wins and then do the same again with the attackers and defenders swapping around.
Weird but that DualShockers review is still not listed at Metacritic.
Maybe because we have weekend.
The only reason I can come up with is that they are afraid of people quitting. But a best out of three should be totally possible without people leaving. Even when one team gets totally destroyed it's only two rounds to play which is done in less than 10 minutes.
Pretty much. If you play silent your team will be at a big disadvantage if the opposition are communicating.
Once you're eliminated calling out enemy locations using the security cameras makes a huge difference.

It's finally in delivery preparation and I should get it around Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope people are still playing by then. xD
So I found some guys online and we formed a 4-man-squad. We can open a lobby but nobody joins. Waited for 15 minutes, reopened 2 times. Normal?
Not obligatory. Obviously it's better if you do, even if only sporadically. As long as you listen to those that do talk tho it's okay imo. Main thing is making team aware of where the opposition is, either by using cameras when dead or when you encounter them, letting others now where they are.
I am so hooked. Played several hours without waiting a lot with communicating teams and balanced teams. Had some of the most exciting firefights, crawling in cover, blindfiring the shit out of the other teams, throwing grenades, yelling at my teamates.
When everything comes together this is a 10/10 game for me. So much fun and I normally don't even like tactic shooters.

You open a lobby? Do you mean join a public or a private? Talking of which should we arrange a resetera Firewall get together? We only need 8 of us to fill a private lobby....
Both the Rift and Vive have sold less than a million units (had they crossed the million unit mark they would have announced it by now)
PSVR has sold 3 million units so one would assume that those numbers would help keep something like this populated
No I was in a squad of four people and we joined a public game. We were alone in the game for quite some time, then we tried to reopen but no one joined again.
I am now playing in a two-man squad and we don't have problems finding a game.
Man I am playing for four hours straight now I am getting exhausted xD
It's a bug only in the display. You will get your XP and money back when you restart the game or play some more rounds. Happened to me several times. I actually was back to level 1 again once and then even leveled up to level 2 before I got my original level back.
eurogamer said:
That's not correct, is it? When you are using the DS4, you can still hold it up to shoot over cover, and the gun still slides against a wall instead of interpenetrating right?
Not sure about getting it. 25.000 seems steep and I actually prefer faster shooting guns. I will first upgrade my Kruger to maximum and see. I can still use all the attachments on new guns.
Damn I want to go home and start playing again. Mondays suck.
So what does your guys loadout look like?
I am playing RED for the extra grenade and the tough russian guy attitude. Straight out of an action-movie. I think he's the coolest character in the game.
Grenades are really powerful in this game, love them. I am level 16, using the Kruger with Muzzle Break 4, Grip 1, red laser and the second sights with the bigger crosshair. Next unlocks are already planned out on level 18, 19, 20 and 21. Will go for grip 2, bigger magazine, green laser, signal modifier and bullet-sponge, as second skill. Then I will try out some other weapons like the Volkov and the faster shooting SMGs. And yeah I will get that revive pistol ASAP.
I am a bit concerned about the grenade launcher attachment. These are usually super-lame in FPS. I hope it's balanced enough and doesn't one-hit you (it probably will ... :( ).
I was a bit disapointed that I can't change my flashbangs to proximity mines. I didn't know that there is always one lethal and one tactical equipment. So no changing the flashbangs against proximity mines :-/ Wasted 9.000 Crypto here.

I've got Monday morning FW withdrawal as well; stupid real life getting in the way.
I'm halfway between lvl 12 and 13. Was hoping for more game time at the weekend, but had two BBQs to go to. Still no sign of my double XP bonus; raised a support ticket with Sony.
I've been sticking with Texas for her Bullet Sponge, with faster movement as secondary.
Main loadout is Kruger with dot sight, laser and lvl 2 muzzle brake, with a silenced dot sight pistol. Used to use the laser a lot, but now only occasionally since I've got better at using the dot.
I normally switch to a shotgun for the hotel and shoothouse maps, as things get cosy and it's handy for blindfire around doors and corners.
What are the sticky grenades like? Any good?
I don't use the sticky grenades because it's useless for my character. He only gets one more frag grenade so I am basically stuck with them. That said I don't see the advantage of sticky grenades. The good thing with the frags is that you can toss them around corners and make them bump from the walls.

Can the OP Shock32 update or can someone create a review thread.

the dumb thing about the Double XP is that there's no indication anywhere that it's in effect :|
and dont waste your coins on that extra Crypto perk - only gives you an extra 4 coins

Do it. It so much fun. It's what I have wanted from a VR game. The community is great as long as you talk. People were super friendly to me as I was getting started and not getting any kills in the first couple hours.
Yeah, they needed to show when it was on. Otherwise you just had to play to see when it was on.
