Resident Evil 4 VR is one of the best VR games available on the Oculus Quest 2 (currently titled Meta Quest 2). And for those seeking even more zombie action, a free update is planned for next year that will add the much-loved mode from the original.

Mercenaries, an arcade-style remix of the basic gameplay, will return to Resident Evil 4 VR next year in the form of free DLC.

This mode is like "Left 4 Dead," with waves of enemies rushing toward the player. The goal is to break through as many enemy swarms as possible before a helicopter flies you to safety.

"Mercenaries" have been a staple of "Resident Evil 4" since the GameCube days. Players are challenged to both race against time and the never-ending hordes of Ganado, with the goal of defeating as many enemies as possible before time runs out and the helicopters arrive," explained Meta, the new name of Facebook's parent company, which also oversees Oculus.

"It's a tense, arcade-style take on the combat of 'Resident Evil 4,' and if you step into Leon's shoes in 'Quest 2,' the intensity will reach new levels. True mastery is required if you want to achieve the five-star ranking each stage boasts." [Personally, "Resident Evil 4 VR" is my primary reason for purchasing the Oculus Quest 2. Throwing knives from hand to hand in VR is not only engaging, but also brings a level of familiarity and enough remixes to make it feel entirely new.

Meta also announced that new mobility and comfort settings are coming: "Early next year, we plan to add hand-based steering, improved left-hand controls, height adjustment, and the option to fine-tune the position of the chest and hip inventory slots so that you can position your grenades from the best place for you. . to allow you to retrieve the grenade from where it is best suited to you."

The Mercenaries DLC will launch in 2022. Meta Quest 2 is also on sale, and Amazon is offering a free $50 gift card with purchase. This is such a great deal that it's on our list of best Black Friday sales, and for good reason. Quest 2 rarely sees sales or discounts, making this the best sale ever.

Unfortunately, the Oculus store does not offer gift cards, so you cannot use the $50 Amazon voucher to purchase additional Oculus credits. However, it would be possible to purchase a $50 Visa gift card and use it at the Oculus Store Another great item to purchase with the Quest 2 is the Elite Strap, which comes bundled with a battery and carrying case. Not only does it extend battery life, it is more comfortable than the base strap, plus the carrying case is convenient and well designed.
